Biloxi, MISS.--It was deja vu for Thomas "Top Dog" Williams, who once again traded opening round knockdowns with an opponent before getting a knockout of his own. 

On Friday evening, it was Humberto Savigne who went balls to the wall with the D.C.-based light heavyweight, but ultimately blasted out in round two of their Spike TV-televised slugfest.

Williams was fighting for just the second time since the lone loss of his career, when a cut forced him to retire after five rounds of action versus former light heavyweight champ Gabriel Campillo last summer. Friday's bout, however, was more reminiscent of his knockout win over Cornelius White earlier last year, when the two combined for three knockdowns but with Williams finishing him off in the first round. 

On this occasion, Williams had Savigne hurt and down early in the bout and fought as if another 1st round knockout was in store. Savigne had other ideas, recovering and catching Williams on the inside to even up the score.

Both fighters managed to avoid further fight altering punishment in the frame, but Williams was determined to make it a short night. Savigne was drilled early in round two and right back on the canvas. The South Florida-based slugger climbed back to his feet, but was caught with a hailstorm of punches before referee Keith Hughes jumped in to intervene.

The official time was 1:48 of round two.
