Super Bantamweight scrap on DAZN tonight, second time Pierce has headlined on the app, 1 punch KO last time, still second time in a row he's topping the bill in a scheduled 8 rounder, not sure what that's all about, Villanueva an experienced cat, world title challenges at Super Fly and Bantam losing to McJoe and Oubaali, also losses to Tete and Nery, would be the biggest scalp of Pierce's career

Former world title challenger and now journeyman Jayson Velez on this card as well against undefeated Giovanni Marquez

thanks will catch up with this tomorrow, lots of Dazn boxing on this weekend

not often you see someone's legs as gone as pierce's were on that kd

real scare for him there

Pierce recovers from a 2nd round knockdown to stop Villanueva in the 4th, round 2 Villanueva lands a right cross, not a big shot at all but it had Pierce doing the chicken dance before a couple of cuffing rights had him sprawled on the canvas, he done well to make it out the round and by the 3rd he was back in control and in the 4th he put Villanueva down with a straight left/right hook, Villanueva couldn't show the survival instincts Pierce showed previously and Pierce rained down rights and lefts forcing Villanueva down again for the finish, great recovery from Pierce but that KD was worrying, bread and butter shot and he was all over the gaff
