"Scotland's Ken Buchanan retained the European lightweight championship Friday night by stopping Giancarlo Usai of Italy in the 12th round of their scheduled 15 round fight. Buchanan hammered the challenger with a flurry of blows during the 12th round before Usai's handlers threw in the towel. The challenger stumbled to his corner where he crumbled to his stool and blacked out. Usai, a heavy underdog prior to the fight, appeared to be leading on points through 10 rounds. In the 11th, however, Buchanan shook the challenger and followed up with a series of jabs and uppercuts to Usai's body and head." -Associated Press
