Rd 6 = Nova comes out bombing. Encar still there. Encar slips in big right. Nova busier but encar landing rights. Closer round but Nova still winning.

10-9 Nova
59-55 Nova

Nova is winning, but black shorts stunned him early and is still throwing the odd bit of heat. Live dog I’m the fight still for me, commentators are acting like it’s a massacre and nova just gotta Finnish the show.

Decent round for Encar although you'd give it to Nova based on activity. I'd advise the smaller man to actually stay away from the inside.

Rd 7 = nova busy encar counter combos. Encar is one game dude. Encar hurt but fires back. Encar hurt again. Survives 7 but the end is imminent.

10-9 Nova
69-63 Nova

Encar hurt at least twice in that rd. Looks like he's read to go.

Rd 8 = nova showing an excellent motor here. Encar fires back. Corner stops it.

Ko rd 8.

Nova looked very good. I think Encar’s corner could have let it go a little farther but really, there was no path to victory.

I don't have a big issue with the stoppage. He took a fair amount of punishment throughout, esp in rd 7.

Weird stoppage. Corner sends their man out and then quickly stops the fight after a few more shots landed.

Nova, drawing superhuman strength from his beard, wins in fairly dominant fashion. He and his life size mascot had a good night.

The stoppage was anti-climactic and totally rubbish for fans, but no doubt it was the right call from his corner.

They saved their man from a highlight KTFO.

would be a bad stop in a title fight, but a fine stop for a nothing fight short notice when your guys not undefeated.

He's impressively bilingual. Also sounds a bit like Mike Tyson.

Geffard is talking impwessively too, but he looks like a wabbit-in-the-headlights as he's saying it.
