Heavyweight Trent Rawlins Gets 12th Win on MarvNation Card in Cali

POMONA, CALIF. (Nov. 20, 2021): MarvNation Promotions delivered an exciting seven-fight boxing card on Saturday night in front of a full crowd at the Derby Room in Pomona, Calif. In the main event, heavyweight slugger Trent Rawlins (12-2-1, 10 KOs) of Victoria, Australia scored a vicious one-punch knockout against Brazilian puncher Fernando Simoes (9-5, 9 KOs) at 1:13 of the very first round. The full event was streamed live on MarvNation’s official YouTube page.

“I felt great. We did what we needed to do,” said Rawlins. “I didn’t even break a sweat. The plan was to catch him with something, and we stuck to that game plan.
