    Got to give it to Demitrice King- the man shows up to fight. He should really try to make something of his career.

    Anyone know the details on this?

    Yeah I was ringside for this fight. Bowie looked gassed at the end of the first, so during the second he was leaning on King alot and got caught with a real nasty uppercut, then was pretty much out on his feet and got finished off.

    Thanks.

    Did he come in looking fat, or does he just look like he gasses easy?

    No he looked real good, just gassed early.

    King knocked out Stiverne too right?? He seemed to be specializing in exposing over-hyped prospects.

    got to watch out for those hand picked opponents with 17 losses

    Thats my point.

    Demitrice may not be a world class guy, but he now has a reputation as a spoiler. Instead of taking "opponent" type fights, he should play up his unber-gatekeeper/spoiler status, take five or 6 soft fights he can win to get his reocrd on the positive side, and try for a big fight.

    As for Bowie- back to the drawing board. More cardio in the workout. No need to write the man off after one loss, just use it as a learning experience.

    Maybe Stiverne and Tupou could fight each other. Sort of a crossroads fight to see who advances.

    Or Bowie and that African prospect who fights out of England that got beat a few months back. Not really a bad idea at all.

    yeah he did but it wasnt real bad. In my opinion it was horribel stamina, and I think he tried too hard for a first round KO
