The Knockout Kings boxing card, which encouraged fight fans to donate mobile handsets to the Cellphone for Soldiers charity, took place last night at Florida's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Seminole Warriors Promotions hosted the event, which lived up to its name when every contest ended in either a KO or a stoppage.

Former IBF light-welterweight champion Juan Urango headlined, knocking down opponent Carlos Wilfredo Vilches in round one, before finishing things in thrilling fashion with a big right hand in the fourth.

Middleweight Joe Greene took a little longer to stop Joshua Okine, but the referee was finally forced to step in when the former Commonwealth champion tasted the canvas twice in round nine.

David Estrada, Wilmer Vaquez, Kenny Galarza and Wilford Scypion all managed to win their bouts inside the distance.

How many phones were donated has yet to be revealed, although it seems likely that the offer of a buy one get one free ticket voucher from the casino will have been too good for a lot of punters to pass up.
