Ryad Merhy’s TKO4 Andrej Pesic... Belgium witnessed Ryad Merhy’s rebirth as a bridgerweight, as he defeated Andrej Pesic (15-4-1) in the fourth round. Pesic was knocked down twice in the fourth round. During the break before the fifth round, it was decided that the Serbian could not continue. It was Andrej Pesic’s second consecutive defeat. Merhy improves his record to 34-3 with 28 KOs and, due to the lack of boxers in the new 224-pound weight class, he becomes an instant contender.
