- In the night’s opening fight, heavyweight Donovan Dennis scored a bizarre third-round stoppage over Hugo Arceo.
Dennis knocked Arceo down early in the first round with a left hand, putting Arceo on a knee and then landing another left hand. Arceo rose and battled back, pushing Dennis against the ropes. Both men traded before the bell rang to end the round.
That pattern continued in the second: Dennis landing, Arceo throwing back. A one-two knocked Arceo’s mouthpiece out, and that wouldn’t be the first time. Later in the round, Dennis landed a left hand counter, and Arceo returned to the canvas. The referee called it a slip, however.
Arceo’s mouthpiece was knocked out three times in the third round, making it four times total on the night. After the last occurrence, the referee brought Arceo to his corner and the bout was waved off.
The time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 33 seconds into the round.
Dennis, a 26-year-old from Davenport, Iowa, is now 9-1 (7 KOs, 1 no contest). Arceo, a 36-year-old from Boulder, Colo., falls to 3-1-1 (3 KOs).
