His day job is filled with risk and challenges. His day job carries the omnipresent specter of life and death. It’s Manny Folly’s night gig as a professional fighter that receives the attention, yet it’s his day job as a Philadelphia police officer that merits the real accolades.
CBS3 reports that Folly drove his record to 10-0, with 8 knockouts, Friday night at the 2300 Arena, when he scored a first-round TKO over veteran Luis Hinojosa (30-11, 17 KOs) in what was supposed to be a scheduled 6-rounder. Folly knocked down Hinojosa three times in the first, two knockdowns came off straight rights that Hinojosa could not get out of the way.
The fight was over at 2:18 of the second round.
