Biaggio Ali Walsh looked the part of Muhammad Ali’s grandson when he stepped into the cage for his PFL debut Friday at Hulu Theater in New York.
In a special amateur bout that kicked off the 2022 PFL Championships prelims, Ali Walsh (2-1 amateur) tactically obliterated opponent Tom Graesser (1-4 amateur) for a knockout 45 seconds into the fight.
From the opening bell, Ali Walsh showed power that noticeably hurt Graesser, who bled from his forehead just seconds in. In the final sequence, Ali Walsh threw an overhand right, followed by a right uppercut, and a finishing right hand.
