Tulsa, OK- Fighting for the second time in two months, Travis Kauffman of Reading, PA wasted little time in disposing of veteran Ken Murphy. Kauffman scored a second round knockout against the Chicago resident at the Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa, OK, raising his unbeaten record to 15-0 (12 KO).

Murphy, a one-time cruiserweight world title challenger and the brother of former IBF cruiserweight champion Lee Roy Murphy, falls to 22-24-2 (16 KO). The time was 1:26.

“I felt good in there,” Kauffman says. “I wanted to box a little. I was having fun in there. I lured him in and caught him.”

Kauffman hurt Murphy in the first round with a right hand but was content to take his time and utilize his jab. Sensing that his opponent was weary, Kauffman unloaded a fusillade of punches that dropped Murphy for the count.

“In between rounds my Dad told me to take him out. I just did what I was told.”

Kauffman’s father and trainer Marshall Kauffman was pleased with the performance.

“He did what he had to do. We fought a veteran who has gone the distance with a lot of good fighters. I thought Travis would get more rounds but he got rid of him early.”

Although Murphy had fought top contenders like Calvin Brock, Brian Nielsen and Clifford Etienne, Murphy remarked after the fight that Kauffman was the hardest puncher he had ever faced. Kauffman’s next fight will be announced shortly.
