Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol from Russia remains undefeated as he made quick work of Cedric "L.O.W." Agnew. Despite being only 26 years old Bivol demonstrated why he is quickly making a name for himself in the red-hot light heavyweight division.
From the first bell, Bivol torpedoed Agnew with a nasty set of combinations in the corner and sent the veteran into a head first knockdown. Agnew quickly recovered and the round continued but so did Bivol's come-forward attack.
The next two rounds were offensive clinics for Bivol as he continued to dominate Agnew. At 1:27 of the fourth round the referee had seen enough and declared Bivol the winner by TKO.
"I'm very glad the fight went this way," said Biovl. "I found my ways that I practiced and I used them and you saw the results. I didn't think he was going to work more as right-handed, as orthodox, but I was ready for everything so the fight ran smooth for me. I tried to open him up but for some reason, he didn't want to go. He was close, he was very defensive and going back. But anyways I won the fight!"
The HBO Pay Per View telecast kicked off with an exciting middleweight on-sided contest between Russian Arif "The Predator" Magomedov (18-2, 11 KOs) and Luis "Cuba" Arias (18-0, 9 KOs). Magomedov could not handle the vicious attack from Arias and the contest was called to a halt at 1:16 of the fifth round.
Humbled by his second career loss Arif simply said, "There's really not a lot I can say about this. He caught me with a really good shot and I couldn't do anything about it."
Arias replied with, "Finally! Your just heard my name. Top 10 all around. Easy work."
