Michalczewski stopped in sixth
Fabrice Tiozzo landed three hard punches that knocked down Dariusz Michalczewski in the sixth round. Michalczewski was able to continue, but the bout was stopped a few seconds later. Tiozzo (Boxingtalk #8 coming in) retained his WBA light heavyweight title. It was the first time the two-division world champ (currently Boxingtalk #6) was stopped in 51 pro bouts (he is 49-2). As a result of Tiozzo's win, the top three light heavyweights in the world are all 35 years of age or more: Tiozzo is 35 while Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver are both 36. source: Associated Press
