Eggington hands Pigford his first loss

Sam Eggington TKO5 Joe Pigford... British veteran Sam Eggington slammed the gate on previously undefeated Joe Pigford, stopping him in the fifth round. Eggington's right eye was swollen, but in round five, his combinations were snapping Pigford's he'd around every which way to the point where Pigford (20-1) was basically out on his feet. The referee stopped the bout just as the towel came flying in from Pigford's corner. Eggington (33-8) is a former IBO junior middleweight champion, but he lost that title to Dennis Hogan in October.
