Nevin back with a bang after US win

London 2012 silver medallist John Joe Nevin believes Floyd Mayweather wouldn’t have got off the floor from the punch that sealed his comeback win at the Ring of Dreams Gym in North Carolina on Saturday night.

Nevin KO’d North Carolina’s Calvin Stifford 86 seconds into the first round in his first fight back since his two legs were broken in an horrific assault near his home in Mullingar last April.

Stifford, who was making his pro debut, was dropped by Nevin, inside the first minute and the American was counted out after walking into a massive right hook from the ex-AIBA World No.1.
