Malik Hawkins got a late replacement out of there early Friday night. Baltimore’s Hawkins stopped Mexico’s Carlos Soto after two one-sided rounds in a welterweight fight that was scheduled for eight rounds in Oxon Hill, Maryland. The fight was stopped before the third round began because Soto told a ringside physician that he couldn’t see out of his swollen left eye.

While changing diapers and mid-night feedings will become the norm for him, he has business to attend to.
