Vito Mielnicki Jr secured a dominant win against Laszlo Toth on August 10 at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM. The 154-pound contest was featured on the card topped by Luis Alberto Lopez vs Angelo Leo.
The scheduled for 10 rounds bout didn’t go the distance. The Belleville, New Jersey native was in a full control delivering shots, including a big left hook that dropped his opponent of Hungary to the canvas. Although the latter managed to get back on his feet and wanted to continue his cornerman had a different opinion and entered the ring, which meant for the referee to wave the fight off. The official time of disqualification was 1:39 into the second round.
With the victory, Vito Mielnicki Jr improved to 19-1, 13 KOs and secured the 11th win in a row. The 22-year-old super welterweight contender made his successful Top Rank debut and the second ring appearance for the year.
“I thought it was a knockout, not a DQ,” Mielnicki said. “Xander Zayas, we could get that going in New York soon, probably in another year. Let’s get that going. I heard him call my name. I’d love that.”
36-year-old Laszlo Toth dropped to 32-9-2, 20 KOs and didn’t succeed in his first fight in the U.S.
