WBC Light Heavyweight Title Eliminator Bout (12 Rds)

Adrian Dicanou (24-0, 15 KOs) wins by TKO at :32 of the third round over Rico Hoye (20-2, 15 KOs)

Hoye received a standing eight count with about 30 seconds left in the second round when he got tagged

with a right, left combo that caused his upper body to go through the top two ropes as he was leaning back

trying to escape the punches - as the fight resumed, the first right that Dicanou threw, landed, buckling

Hoye's knees (almost going down) causing the ref to give him another standing eight count. Early in the third

round, Hoye was cut - Dicanou went after him and landed a right to the body that put Hoye on a knee

(looked like Hoye was more bothered by the cut) but at the same time Dicanou landed the body shot, the ref

was coming in to stop the bout.

JoJo Dan (16-0, 8 KOs) wins a unanimous decision over Ricardo Cano (12-2-1, 6 KOs) - Judges scored
