On the undercard to Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Edner Cherry (23-5-1, 11KOs) knocked Wes Ferguson (17-3-1, 5KOs) out in the sixth round. The fight was a close boxing match for the first five rounds, with Ferguson seeming to have the edge with a sharp jab.
In the sixth round, Cherry knocked Ferguson down with a left hook. Ferguson got to his feet and Cherry would begin to throw power shots to the head and body. Another left hook sent Ferguson down on his back and the ref stopped the action immediately.
This was a rematch of a June bout, where Cherry won a close unanimous decision over Ferguson.
