Sheffield Arena, Sheffield, UK. Local heavyweight (over 90.7 kg)
Johnny Fisher (6-0, 5 KOs) hard knocked out the Czech
Michal Reissinger (3-2, 2 KOs).
Underdog was not a timid ten. He occupied the center of the ring and confidently knocked down the favorite, trying to knock him down with sweeping hooks. In such an energy-intensive style, Reissinger did not last long. Picked up blows before the gong.
In the starting seconds of the second round, two overhands in a row from Fisher ended in the fall of the journeyman. The referee immediately stopped the fight.

Fisher TKO 2.
The vacant IBF European champion belt in cruiserweight (up to 90.7 kg) was played against the British prospect
Jordan Thompson (14-0, 11 KOs) and a gatekeeper from the Czech Republic
Vasila Dutsara (11-6-1, 10 KOs).
Thompson had a great advantage in anthropometry. He moved well, jabbed great, failed, punished, met the forward-pushing gateper with uppercuts and twos. Duzar took punches in the 2nd round, but was saved by a gong.

The underdog realized that it was not in his interests to work as the first number and began to provoke his opponent. Funny episode.

Dutsar still had to be active until the final gong. This almost brought him victory – he pounded, dropped the favorite in the decisive round.
