Guyanan Braithwaite made the second defence of the WBC World Cruiserweight title he won in Italy against Vincenzo Cantatore in a vacant title match 14 months earlier against Panamanian Luis Andres Pineda.
The new champion made his first defence against Cincinnati's Ravea Springs in Florida and than was added to Don King's eight world title extravaganza in Atlantic City.
The southpaw champion took the opportunity with both hands, finishing his challenger at 1:27 of the first round when referee Eddie Cotton ended matters.
