Dominick Guinn
Guinn Destroys Bergeron – Boxing News
By Scott Gilfoid: With a blistering display of punching power, former heavyweight contender Dominick Guinn (29-6-1, 20 KOs) destroyed Canadian Jean Francois Bergeron (27-2, 19 KOs) in the second round. Guinn, 33, staggered Bergeron with a big right hand early in the second, then followed up with a flurry of shots ending with a left-right combination that deposited Bergeron on the canvas. He staggered to his feet, but was unable to stand without leaning on the ropes.
Referee Gerry Bolen did the right thing and stopped the fight at 2:40 of the round. It’s unfortunate that Guinn hasn’t fought like this in the recent past, as he looked more than impressive when he was letting his hands go against Bergeron in the fight. The TKO was especially impressive because Bergeron had fought 12-rounds with Nikolay Valuev, in a losing effort last September. Guinn, however, didn’t seem to want to wait around like Valuev did, and immediately pounced on the huge 6’5” Bergeron from the outset of the fight. Bergeron, 35, hardly had a chance to get started before Guinn started launching howitzer shots at him with both hands.
Guinn To Fight Hawkins Tonight
Former heavyweight contender Dominick Guinn (28-5-1, 19 KO) will be returning to the ring tonight to take on Robert Hawkins in a 10-round bout a the River Rock Casino, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. Guinn, now 32, was one of the top heavyweight challengers up until 2004, strange as it may seem now. However, starting in 2004, Guinn began to have big problems, losing first to Monte Barrett by split decision in March 2004, and then two fights later, losing another decision, this time to Serguei Lyakhovich.
