Batyrgaziev wins WBA interim belt at 130 pounds

Albert Batyrgaziev TKO9 Jono Carroll ... In Serpukhov, Russia the WBA interim super featherweight title was claimed by Russian Olympic champion Albert Batyrgaziev (10-0), who survived some rough moments early on to stop Ireland's Jono Carroll (24-2-1) in round nine. Carroll had won his last six fights following a loss to Maxi Hughes but with both eyes swelling, he went down twice in round nine. On the second knockdown, the referee stopped the fight without a count. Batyrgaziev is now in line for a shot at WBA champion Lamont Roach.
