Sebastian Juarez has just improved his perfect record to 10-0 in probably the most dramatic way possible
The 20-year-old boxing prospect was expected to cruise past his 10-7-1 opponent on Saturday night.
Nevertheless, Demarcus Layton almost scored a momentous upset as he landed a heavy knockdown within the opening minute.
Sebastian Juarez was wobbling in all places, but he was allowed to proceed. Thank god he was, because what followed was utter carnage and has surely wrapped up the Round of the Yr debate a couple of months early.

Sebastian Juarez knocks out Demarcus Layton
Sebastian Juarez fell to the ground almost immediately after the fight was restarted by the referee.
Numerous fouling stopped Demarcus Layton from putting punches together to seek out a finish.
Juarez was deducted two points in quick succession for holding onto his opponent.
Every little thing modified when he landed an enormous shot with 40 seconds left in the primary frame.
Layton went crashing to the ground, but quickly bounced back up and looked fairly good on his feet.
Juarez scored one other knockdown moments later, and this time it was clear Layton was badly hurt.
Only the ropes held him up, however the referee allowed Layton to proceed.
Another knockdown sent him crashing through the ropes, and the fight was called off immediately.
Jake Paul reacts to Sebastian Juarez’s win
Jake Paul is currently preparing to fight WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis on November 14.
They meet in an exhibition mismatch that has intrigued and infuriated fight fans in equal measures.
A ‘large’ knockout bonus will likely be claimed by whoever wins when Paul and Davis clash next month.
Despite the whole lot that’s on the road, Paul paused his preparations to react to Juarez vs Layton.
“What did I witness,” the divisive YouTuber-turned-boxer wrote on his Instagram story.
Paul then shared a three-minute reel showing the Round of the Yr in all its glory.
