Good job from Mitchell. Mormeck won a SD against Ibragimov and he gets a shot at Wlad. SMH

Great stoppage by Mitchell.

Mitchell TKO 2

[BennyST]

He landed like four good right hands and before a decent left hook, pretty good stoppage if you ask me.

It was maybe a tiny bit early but Ibragamov wasn't punching back at all and wasn't defending any of the shots and just had his head down. He didn't block a single punch Mitchell threw so I can understand the stoppage and it was ok to me. It's possible that he could have come back but he was wobbling for a fair bit of that round and shipping big punches throughout without defending against any of them well. I think Mitchell would probably have gotten the stoppage either way from that round as it wasn't just one lucky shot. He was landing over and over too cleanly.

BTW there goes your theory though of chick refs stopping it too early. Guys do it too.

Thanks for posting.

TBH, who out there really can compete against the K-bros?

exactly. . . nobody. . . i didn't see anything from mitchell any different than any other HW's that would give them the slighest bit of trouble.. . other than the power. . . he's got that sneaky over-hand right he might be able to land on wladimir. . . but don't really give him much of a chance.

DAMN Peterson BLEW UP! 155 pounds. . I thought Peterson was a small 140 pounder; the type with low bodyfat naturally who walks around at like 150. . .
