  • WBC International vacant Light Heavyweight title bout.
  • Super middleweight contender Sinnette, 38, was clearly fighting in the wrong division.
  • Sinnette was swinging with wild haymakers in round three after two good rounds, and paid for his recklessness by getting knocked down three times in the third round, and twice in the fourth round. Referee Eion Jardine halted the bout with Sinnette on the canvas in a corner and declared a kayo. Sinnette objected to the stoppage as he felt it was premature. However, the fighting style Sinnette was using was haphazard so the fight outcome was not in doubt. Vegas was landing counter power shots, and won due to Sinnette's go for broke strategy in error.
