Pacheco Supreme
On Saturday, August 31, at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, undefeated Diego Pacheco (22-0, 18KO) knocked out the Polish puncher Maciej Sulecki (32-3, 12KO) with total authority, becoming the first person to ever stop the warrior from Warsaw, whilst defending his WBC-USA super middleweight title.
Diego’s victory placed his name as one of the contenders at 168 pounds, placing him on the verge of a world title fight.
Pacheco showed good punching rhythm and effective combinations to the body and head. The official moment of the stoppage occurred at 54 seconds of the sixth round, when a hook to the body on Sulecki sent him to the canvas and he was unable to get up.
The accumulated damage that preceded the blow that ended the fight allowed Pacheco to punctuate his performance with a spectacular finish against Sulecki, the toughest test of his rising career.
