He came in as a 7-to-1 underdog to the fearsome <PERSON> but thoroughly out-boxed him for six rounds, using his superior speed and technique to frustrate and hurt <PERSON>. When <PERSON> failed to meet the bell for the seventh round, <PERSON> was declared the winner by TKO and became at the time the youngest man to ever take the heavyweight title from a reigning champion.
