By Eric Baldwin: Unbeaten light heavyweight 2012 Olympian Oleksandr Gvozdyk (11-0, 9 KOs) had to get up off the deck from a 1st round knockdown to come back and defeat former two-time world title challenger Tommy Karpency (26-6-1, 15 KOs) by a 6th round knockout on Saturday night on HBO pay-per-view from the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gvozdyk, 29, dropped Karpency with a right to the body in round six. Referee Kenny Bayless then counted Karpency after he failed to get back to his feet. The official time of the stoppage was at 2:21 of the 6th.
