Ashton Sylve walks out in Minion outfit and KO's Braulio Rodriguez in the first round

Ashton ‘h20’ Sylve moved to 8-0 with an impressive 61-second knockout over Braulio Rodriguez (20-5). The 18-year-old baffled fans as he walked out in a Minion outfit but quickly made his mark with a perfectly-timed left hook.

Rodriguez, a former opponent of Ryan Garcia’s was supposed to provide a stern test for the fast-rising prospect but wasn’t able to see out the first round. From the off, Sylve forced his foe backward, going in search of the finishing blow.

As Rodriguez opened up with a fast flurry, Sylve kept his cool and caught the shots on his gloves. Waiting for his moment, h20 let an explosive left-hook fly which sent the Dominican to the canvas early.

Rodriguez tried to make his way to his feet but stumbled and staggered all over the ring. Seeing enough, the referee waved off the contest, awarding Sylve his eighth knockout victory from as many bouts.

Before adding: “That’s the thing we have a long training camp and you wanna show that in the ring so I got him out there. It was on the lit, this is right near my house in Long Beach so this is lit.

“I’ve got to go back to the team but hopefully come back over here, the crowd is incredible. Hopefully, we can do it again.”
