Wlodarczyk stops Fragomeni; Fonfara destroys Miller

by

fragomeni674By Jim Dower: WBC cruiserweight Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (49-2-1, 35 KO’s) had an easy time stopping 44-year-old Italian Giacobbe Fragomeni (31-4-2, 12 KOs) by a 6th round stoppage on Friday night at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois. The fight was halted after the 6th round due to a large cut under Fragomeni’s left eye. At the time of the stoppage, the 32-year-old Wlodarczyk had been easily winning the fight against the much shorter 5’9″ Fragomeni.

There wasn’t much interesting action in the fight other than in the 4th round when Wlodarczyk hit Fragomeni with a left hook while the referee was trying to break the two apart from a clinch. The shot hit Fragomeni when he wasn’t ready for it and dropped him. It wasn’t much of a punch but it was clearly thrown while the referee was breaking the two fighters apart.
