2006 has been the year of the promising American heavyweight and it appears that the name John Fehner can be added to that list. The 19 year-old San Francisco-born southpaw made his pro debut in early September and in the space of seven weeks has recorded three knockout wins, all coming from a left hook that has got Californian boxing observers excited. The punch brought the crowd to their feet as one when he planted it flush on Harrington's chin a minute into the 3rd frame of their clash. The Seattle native didn't move for the duration of the count and was out cold for some five minutes after the bout ended. Of mixed European and Native American heritage Fehner has already earned himself a small but dedicated fanclub in San Francisco outside the circle of his family and friends. All three of his bouts have been held in the Bay Area and it's likely that he'll continue to fight there during the coming months.

Let me tell you folks, growing up in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco as a rare white kid was a rough way to go, but with good coaching from the PAL I was able to stay out of trouble. Now the future looks bright!
