Three elite welterweights suffer first-ever knockouts against Carlos Prates

Carlos Prates has achieved the remarkable feat of delivering the first knockout losses to three experienced welterweight fighters who had never been stopped by strikes before. Leon Edwards had never been knocked out in 28 professional fights until facing Prates. Li Jingliang had similarly avoided knockout defeats throughout his 27-fight career before meeting Prates. Jack Della Maddalena had never been knocked out in standup exchanges, with his only previous TKO loss coming from ground-and-pound while exhausted in the grappling phase. All three fighters carried extensive combat experience and durability reputations before Prates became the first to finish them via strikes. This pattern demonstrates Prates's exceptional finishing power against proven veterans.
