Moloney stops Palicte with a brutal third-round TKO

Jason Moloney, after four fights in the US, is back in Australia with a statement.

The 31-year-old scored Aston Palicte’s third TKO round in the Bantamez welterweight fight, a key support match for George Campos Jr. versus Devin Haney.

Moloney (24-2, 19 KOs) knocked Palicte down with his short right hand before a barrage of shots led to referee Ignatius Missailidis’ intervention as Palicte fell for a second time. The downtime was 2:35.

The twin brother of Andrew Moloney, who was also scheduled to compete for this card, Jason Moloney was ranked seventh by ESPN in bantamweight weight class. This victory is Moloney’s third in a row since losing the seventh round of unified champion Naoya Inoue in 2020.

Palicte (28-5-1, 23 KOs), 31, of the Philippines, lost for the third time in six fights.

game

Lucas Brown stuns the Australian broadcasters and audience with this first round knockout of his fight against Junior FA.
