Buffalo Run Casino, Oklahoma - Ukrainian welterweight Ivan 'The Volk' Golub (13-0, 11 KOs) stropped James 'Keep'em Sleepin' Stevenson (23-3, 16 KOs) in three rounds 

The fight started very fast with Stevenson taking the fight to Golub. Near the end of the first round, Golub began to adjust with straight shots to the head and body. Stevenson got rocked by a left hand in the second round and started punishing him with punches to the head and body. Stevenson was in full retreat mode and shook off the cobwebs.

In the third round, a huge right hand sent Stevenson down. He beat the count, but then Golub went for the kill and started tagging him with combinations as the referee jumped in to wave off the contest.

Golub, a 27-year-old who, at 6-feet, is tall for a welterweight, turned pro as a middleweight in November 2012. At the outset of his career, he went 5-0 in the WSB.

In his ShoBox debut, he touched the canvas for the first time in his career, but bounced back to blast out Marlon Aguas with a series of combinations in the closing seconds of the sixth. He won by TKO.

Golub, a southpaw who's coming off a second-round TKO over Ernesto Ortiz last July 21, was an outstanding amateur. He went 270-32 as an amateur, was a five-time national champion in Ukraine and won bronze at the 2009 World Amateur Championships.

Stevenson, a pro since 2008, won his first 21 scraps until losing by ninth-round TKO to then-undefeated Sammy Vasquez on Aug. 8, 2014. The fight was competitive for five rounds before Vasquez took over. Stevenson went down in the ninth.
