Earlier this week, Henry Turner told BoxingScene that he was primed to produce his best performance yet and the 23 year old super lightweight was as good as his word. Turner, 13-0 (5 KOs), picked apart Maykol Medoza, stopping the Colombian in five rounds on the undercard of Sam Noakes' EBU lightweight clash with Yvan Mendy at London's York Hall. Mendoza, 16-5 (14 KO's), was drafted in last week when Turner's original opponent withdrew. The 23 year old was born in the same city as another famed Colombian banger, Breidis Prescott, and brought a similarly impressive knockout record with him to London. Mendoza had spent his entire career boxing in Central and South America and whilst the quality of his opposition was something of a mystery, his power made him an interesting late notice assignment. Earlier this week, Turner - who prepared for the fight by sparring the aggressive Sam Noakes - came out purposefully. He took the center of the ring, finding the mark with his southpaw jab and making Mendoza pay for coming forward with a sharp left hand.
