Jorge Barrios KO1 Janos Nagy... HBO's telecast opened with a disappointing 49 seconds of action between WBO 130-pound titlist Jorge Barrios and mandatory contender Janos Nagy. Only four punches landed, the last one a liver shot by Barrios that caused Nagy to take a knee. The punch didn't look spectacular but landed in a vulnerable area. The Hungarian challenger barely beat the count, but the grimace on his face and hunced-over posture convinced the referee to put an end to a bout best described as a non-starter. Barrios is now 46-2-1 (one loss was to Acelino Freitas, the other a disqualification loss in 1997 that he promptly avenged in an immediate rematch), while Nagy, who probably has fought in the United States for the last time in his career, makes the long trip home at 24-1. source: HBO Championship Boxing
