前NBA球員Kendall Gill係職業拳賽第一場第一回合就將對手KO
Former NBA star Kendall Gill wins boxing debut
Kendall Gill's professional boxing debut was a slam dunk.
The NBA journeyman and former Illinois star stopped Trevor Biley in the first round Saturday night in Chicago. Gill, a 6-foot-5, 199-pound shooting guard who has played 14 NBA seasons, knocked Biley (0-2-1) to the canvass three times before the referee halted the cruiserweight fight at 1:58 of the opening round.
"My team prepared me exactly the way I'm supposed to be prepared," said Gill, who has trained for the last 18 months.
Gill, 37, plans to fight at least one more time before attempting to return for a 15th NBA season. He averaged 6.1 points in 14 games with Milwaukee last season before being waived in January. He has averaged 13.4 points a game over his career with seven teams.
Gill wore white trunks that read "Flying Illini" - a nod to the 1989 Illinois basketball team that reached the Final Four. |
