Salita was floored by a lightning-fast left-right combination after just 10 seconds and never recovered.

Kevin Mitchell beats Breidis Prescott in WBO eliminator
Dagenham’s Kevin Mitchell oozed class in outpointing Colombian Breidis Prescott in an eliminator for the WBO lightweight crown in Newcastle.
Prescott, who knocked out Amir Khan in 54 seconds last September, was seen as a big risk for Mitchell.
But Mitchell refused to be drawn into a war, instead relying on his superior skills to frustrate his opponent.
