On the undercard to Dimitri Kirilov vs. Vic Darchinyan at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington, undefeated super middleweight Andre "The Matrix" Dirrell (16-0, 11 KOs) stopped previously undefeated Mike "The Persecutor" Paschall (17-1-1, 4 KOs) in four-rounds.
The fight was close with a lot of rough tactics when Dirrel threw a crushing left hand in the fourth-round that sent Pascal down and opened up a very serious cut on his forehead. The blood was flowing all over the place. The ref called a halt to the action for the ringside doctor to examine the cut. Upon the advice of the doctor, the ref stopped the fight.
