Teremoana Faces Hemi Ahio In First Real Test

Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Teremoana puts his perfect knockout record on the line Wednesday when he faces veteran Hemi Ahio in Melbourne, per a Bad Left Hook preview of the week's boxing schedule.

The 12-0 Teremoana has stopped every opponent since turning pro, earning the kind of buzz Olympic medalists chase. Ahio represents the first legitimate test of that hype. The 36-year-old has faced the usual roadblocks of an Oceanian heavyweight working without promotional backing, but this is likely his final chance to break through at the top level. Teremoana holds a six-inch height advantage, which dims upset hopes but adds intrigue to how Ahio — who has fought a seven-foot opponent before — navigates the size gap.
