- Moloney TKO’d by Junto Nakatani for WBO bantamweight title
- Andrew’s twin Jason won world bantamweight belt last weekend
A courageous Andrew Moloney was unable to equal the world title-winning achievement of his twin Jason as he was brutally knocked out in the 12th round by Japan’s Junto Nakatani in Las Vegas.
Moloney showed great toughness to get within 18 seconds of going the distance. after being knocked down in the second and 11th rounds of Saturday’s fight for the vacant WBO junior bantamweight title. But just when it looked like the 32-year-old Australian was going to last the 12 rounds he was tagged by a perfect left hook to the head.
