The three-time Irish Olympian Paddy Barnes has maintained the flawless start to his professional boxing career.
Fighting the Spaniard Juan Hinostroza in Edinburgh on the undercard of a British heavyweight title bout, Barnes now stands 4-0 as a professional.
In what was a fairly mundane affair, Barnes was taken the distance. Knocking down his opponent in the 2nd however and generally dominating thereafter, Barnes was the unanimous victor amongst the judges.
Irrespective of how long it took, plenty of people were very happy to see the 30-year-old seal the win.
(6/6) Seems a comfy win for Barnes, Hinostroza was active in the last round as he knew he must've needed a KO but Barnes too savvy.
