Late results from this weekend: McGee retains title; Conwell returns with TKO win

Mary McGee TKO8 Deanha Hobbs ... Fighting in her home state of Indiana, "Merciless" Mary McGee (27-3, 15 KOs) successfully defended her IBF junior welterweight title for the first time with an eighth-round stoppage against Deanha "The Silencer" Hobbs (8-2, 5 KOs) of Australia. One of McGee's biggest strengths is her punching accuracy and that was evident against Hobbs. McGee effectively countered Hobbs' offense each round with her own heavy shots. When in close, McGee would unload combinations to the head and body. Hobbs was hurt by McGee's left hook in the seventh and the champion was determined to go for the finish. In the eighth, an extended barrage aimed at a tired Hobbs against the ropes forced the referee to intervene for the TKO win. The victory, in front of a huge crowd of local supporters, was the seventh straight for McGee, who won the world title with a tenth-round stoppage of Ana Laura Esteche on December 5, 2019.
 
Charles Conwell TKO5 Ramses Agaton ... Also featured on the card in Hammond, Indiana, 2016 US Olympian Charles Conwell (12-0, 9 KOs) returned to the ring with a fifth-round knockout of Mexican southpaw Ramses "El Faraon" Agaton (22-12-3, 12 KOs). Conwell, age 22, worked to close the gap against his taller foe then often pounded the body with combinations. After four completed rounds of getting outworked, Agaton retired on his stool, with the official time of the stoppage being 0:01 of round five. It was the first fight for Conwell following the tragic passing of Patrick Day after their fight on October 12, 2019.
 
Christina Linardatou W10 Prisca Vicot ... On the same card, Greece's Christina "Medusa" Linardatou (13-2, 6 KOs) regained the WBO junior welterweight title with a ten-round unanimous decision against 44 year-old Prisca "die Kriegerin" Vicot (11-7, 2 KOs) of England. Linardatou pressed forward, landing the harder shots throughout and decked Vicot in round three with a right hand. Linardatou had previously lost the title to Katie Taylor on November 2, 2019. [Since the title was stripped from Taylor, and Linardatou fought an opponent with six losses, Lindardatou has aacquired a paper championship].
