Bout Summary
Both fighters landed a few decent shots in the fairly even opening round. The two came out and traded early in Round 2 and a small cut opened on the bridge of Ibragimov's nose. A left hand at 1:55 of the round hurt Ibragimov. He attempted to tie up Mitchell but was caught with a few right hands both upstairs and to the body. Mitchell came forward and landed five consecutive right hands that backed Ibragimov into a corner. After Mitchell landed his sixth, the referee stepped in and waved an end to the bout.
Quotes
- "That's what heavyweights are supposed to do." - Jim Lampley
- "Do you know how long it's been since people have been able to tune in and watch an American heavyweight knock a guy out in a couple of rounds? This guy is an aggressive fighter." - Max Kellerman
- "In the first round, we knew we had to alleviate his right hand. His right hand was the key. He was trying to set me up in the first round and caught me a couple of times. My trainer was getting on me because I had my left hand down. Once we figured that out, it was pretty much an easy night for me. I saw that he couldn't get away from my right hand so I just kept firing it" - Seth Mitchell in the post-fight interview with Larry Merchant
