He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Diveroli looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Xenon can't hide his disappointment, as Diveroli celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Efraim Diveroli! |
