Unbeaten Mikael Zewski kept his streak going as he scored a 6th round TKO over Brandon Baue in a scheduled 8 round welterweight bout. Zewski (14-0, 10 KOs) consistently beat Baue (12-6) to the punch throughout the duration of the fight as he landed lead rights and menacing body shots. The punishment piled up on Baue as a hook to the body sent him to a knee late in the sixth. Although he wasn't badly damaged, a few punches later referee Tony Weeks stopped the fight likely due to the fact that Baue had little chance of ever getting back into the fight. Time of stoppage was 2:46.

Gorges Crushed by Crawford

Terence Crawford ran his unbeaten record to 16-0 with his 12th KO being a devastating fifth round knockout of Andre Gorges (11-3) in their welterweight matchup. Crawford was in control throughout the fight as he kept the pressure on Gorges. In the fourth round, Crawford landed a left hook right on the temple of Gorges that caused a delayed reaction and put the Canadian on one knee. Clearly dazed, Gorges managed to escape the round but was still shaken up. Still shaken up entering the fifth, Crawford stalked his wounded prey and crushed him with an overhand right that sent Gorges face first into the canvas and completely unconscious at the :44 second mark.
