Dannie Williams won his seventh straight fight in impressive fashion on ESPN Friday Night Fights.  Antonio Cervantes took a Williams right to his chin at the 1:05 mark of the fourth round.  Referee Steve Smoger stopped the fight immediately, and Williams continued his escalation in raising his record to 19-1.

Williams knocked  Cervantes down in the first round and seemed in control the entire fight.  “I need to get national exposure so people can see what I am all about”, exclaimed Williams.  He got some love from ESPN and with this good showing, expect bigger things for Jack Loew‘s fighter.

When Williams caught Cervantes with the knockout punch, he knew it.  Once Cervantes hit the canvas, Williams smiled, and immediately realized that he landed the big one, he knew this fight was over.  Williams showed concern for his fallen opponent for a bittersweet minute before Cervantes got to his feet in a display of good sportsmanship.

Williams, a National Golden Gloves Champion in 2004, has handled his moderate success and seems poised to be on bigger cards very soon.  Coming off of a mediocre decision over Oscar Cuero in July, Williams stayed active and kept training for Cervantes knowing that the television exposure to a national audience would bolster his career.  This performance will definitely enhance that notion.
