Mikie Tallon wasted no time in dispatching Orlando Pino in the early portions of the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga undercard.<\/p>\n

The super flyweights had been scheduled to meet over eight rounds at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia, but 21-year-old Tallon needed just 91 seconds.<\/p>\n

Tallon forced Pino onto his heels early and walked the Venezuelan veteran onto a peach of a left hook to the liver, leaving his adversary wincing in pain on the canvas.<\/p>\n

It marked yet another eye-catching victory for Tallon, who is quickly establishing himself as one of Britain’s best lower weight prospects.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking in the immediate aftermath of his victory, he said: “Yeah, one hundred per cent [I thought it would go longer].<\/p>\n

“I thought I might get him out of there with a body shot, but in round five or six.<\/p>\n

“But you’re not getting up from them.<\/p>\n

“That’s definitely one of the best shots of my career.<\/p>\n

“We have been practising it in the changing rooms just then. <\/p>\n

“Tapping away and finding that little spot, and we found it.<\/p>\n

“He spat out his gumshield, so I knew he wasn’t getting up.”<\/p>\n

Tallon’s latest triumph improves his unblemished record to 15-0.<\/p>\n

The Liverpudlian has become a fixture on Saudi-backed cards ever since he was picked out by Turki Alalshikh to compete on the Canelo Alvarez<\/a> vs Terence Crawford<\/a> open workouts last September.<\/p>\n

Tallon rose to the occasion, dropping California’s Christian Robles twice en route to a lopsided unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

The impressive display led to another big opportunity two months later on the Chris Eubank<\/a> Jr vs Conor Benn<\/a> II bill, where he sent Fezan Shahid’s head into orbit with a booming uppercut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next came a slot on the Tyson Fury<\/a> vs Arslanbek Makhmudov undercard in April against Argentine Olympian Leandro Jose Blanc.<\/p>\n

Tallon crumpled Blanc with a body shot in the opening stanza, in almost identical fashion to his stoppage earlier tonight.<\/p>\n

With esteemed trainer Joe Gallagher at the helm and two-weight world champion Natasha Jonas managing his career, Tallon is in good hands.<\/p>\n

And while his future looks bright, there are certainly stiffer tests to come.<\/p>\n
