His 17-year-old Czech opponent Vojtech Hrdy lasted two minutes and nine seconds of a one-sided first round at Wroclaw's open-air Tarczynski Arena before a towel was thrown into the ring.
"That was my first fight ever, not just my pro debut," said super-welterweight Hamed.
I felt like I put on a performance and it's only going to get bigger and better from here."
Hamed senior was famed for his spectacular ring entrances and held multiple featherweight world titles in a career lasting from 1992 to 2002.
