QUEENSBERRY matched Willy Hutchinson and Ellis Zorro tough at the York Hall and both pulled off stunning one-punch knockouts on a dramatic night.
A case could have been made for Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna beating Hutchinson going into their 10-rounder.
The Argentine veteran had knocked out Karol Itauma in five in January and in his only previous test at championship level, Hutchinson had unravelled against Lennox Clarke. That led to a move up to 175lbs and a pair of confidence-building beatings of journeymen.
