Vallejos nearly ended it with a devastating counter right hand that put Emmett down but he stayed patient until the fight eventually worked back to the feet again. From there, Vallejos just measured the damage he was unleashing as he blasted Emmett to the body with knees and then unloaded several more punishing right hands in a row. Emmett crumbled under the pressure and fell to the canvas again with referee Herb Dean rushing in to stop the fight at 3:33 in the opening round.
