For Yefimovich this was the first stoppage defeat in his career. For the fight Quigg was preparing under the guidance of the new coach the famous American specialist Freddie Roach.
Yefimovich was not on the floor, but in the sixth round he began to miss heavy blows one by one. The referee's stoppage looked slightly premature, but did not cause any disputes including Yefimovich and his team.
