    Merhy won by TKO7

    Szellő showed heart, chin but that wasn't enough against a younger, faster, more explosive Merhy.

    Huge overhand puts Imre down on a knee again, Merhy going to the body, Merhy unloading, Imre goes down again, he makes it back up, the ref rightfully waves it. It's ovah!

    Thank god the ref stopped that.... Good performance from Merhy. Szello should retire. As many of us predicted he's too old and with too much of an amateur style to make a splash.

    Fun little scrap. But Imre too old, Merhy too fresh, too athletic, too fast, too heavy handed.

    Szellő turned pro late and mostly faced taxi drivers from Georgia. The gap in skill between his last opponent and Merhy was too big. That's not how you build up a fighter in the pros.

    Yeah drastic step up... Grachev and Garrett Wilson are probably the best opponents he had been in with prior. Definitely built up very poorly.

    Good to see Merhy recover well from the loss to Goulamirian. He's young and has some good scraps to offer.
