    Top-rated cruiserweight Grigory Drozd (32-1, 24 KOs) became the first ever to stop the ultra durable American Darnell “Ding-a-Ling Man” Wilson (23-9-3, 20 KOs), scoring the eleventh-round stoppage in a foul-filled one-sided slugfest on Thursday night at the “Dynamo” Sports Arena in Moscow, Russia. Drozd dominated the whole fight with his precision yet hard punching, barely losing a single minute in any round and stalking his opponent around the ring. The fan-friendly action turned into an ugly foul match after the seventh round and both boxers were deducted some points by referee Victor Panin. With his right eye virtually shut and being horribly battered in later rounds, Wilson retired in his corner, though never down, after the tenth round. One of the best wins for WBO #1, WBA #2 and WBC/IBF #5 ranked Russian fighter, who also retained the WBO Asia Pacific and PABA belts in process.

    --------------


    Based on his last three fights, it looks like its time for Ding to call it a day.

    Damn, thats yet another hard blow for Ding's career.

    I was really disappointed in his showing at the contenders.
    Hopefully now, he'll hang em up.

    Wilson had a good run, but he's at the end of the road. Arslan and Drozd really beat him up bad.

    Ding is a good guy but he's clearly past his best.

    It's a shame for Ding. He had so much potential - but never seemed to polish his technique.

    Ding remains a solid gatekeeper. He was overmatched in the big fights, so be it. He got to a nice level. He should keep making money as long as he wants.

    I figured Drozd would win and that's without ever having seen him fight. If Ding got stopped it's time to hang up the gloves considering his durability. No need for him to take any more punches.
