Richardson Hitchins dominated George Kambosos, and instead of being satisfied with an easy decision, Hitchins stepped up and took Kambosos out in the ninth round.
Kambosos tried gamely to attack Hitchins, but he was unable to avoid the jab, and his face was beginning to show the effects of punishment after only one round.
Hitchins cracked consistently to the body throughout the fight, and when he staggered and hurt Kambosos in the eighth round, it was a matter of time, and Hitchins finished things in the ninth with a body shot.
Kambosos beat the count but had nothing left, and there was no issue when the fight ended.
Hitchins called for Teofimo Lopez afterwards (that would be an interesting fight), and Devin Haney (a not-so-interesting fight).
Each would be a step up in attention for Hitchins, who raised his stock with the win.
In the co-feature, Andy Cruz stopped Hisnori Mishiro in five rounds to earn the mandatory challenger position for IBF lightweight champion Raymond Muratalla.
Like the main event, the favorite unleashed a beating on a tough but outclassed opponent as Cruz scored three knockdowns in the fight.
In Argentina (I haven't watched yet), Nonito Donaire defeated Andres Campos by unanimous decision after nine rounds when a head clash forced the fight's end.
Donaire won a minor bantamweight title with the win.
