Dmitry Bivol (10-0, 8 KOs), 26, of Russia, retained his interim light heavyweight world title for the second time as he ran over Samuel Clarkson (19-4, 12 KOs), 26, of Cedar Hill, Texas, in a fourth-round knockout victory. It was a surprisingly one-sided main event on Showtime's "ShoBox: The New Generation" card before, 2,159 at the MGM National Harbor in the Washington suburbs.
Dmitry Bivol's goal was not only to win but also impress on Friday night during his national television debut. Oh, my, did he do just that.
