Скачать или смотреть Derevyanchenko vs Soliman HIGHLIGHTS: July 21, 2016 - PBC on ESPN

Unbeaten rising middleweight Sergiy “The Technician” Derevyanchenko (9-0, 7 KOs) knocked down Sam “King” Soliman (44-14, 18 KOs) three times before stopping the former world champion in the second round of the main event of the PBC on ESPN summer series on Thursday, July 21, 2016 from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.

 A 2008 Ukranian Olympian, Derevyanchenko was in control of the fight from the start—catching Soliman with a missile right hand in the first round that knocked Soliman to the canvas.

"I looked into his eyes after I knocked him down the first time and I knew he would continue coming forward. I didn't even feel that punch on my glove because it was so clean to the chin. But I felt the final punch," Derevyanchenko said.

An awkward slip shortly thereafter by Soliman foreshadowed that it might be a short evening for the veteran from Australia, who had only been stopped once before in his previous 57 fights.
 
Derevyanchenko continued his onslaught into the second round—scoring another knockdown with a left hook. Soliman once again rose to his feet, but couldn’t tie up Derevyanchenko as he went into survival mode.

Soliman didn’t last long as Derevyanchenko—who nows trains in Brooklyn—landed several more right hands, before delivering another stunning left hook that sent Soliman to the ground for good. Referee Johnny Callas waved the fight off at 2:41 of the second round.

""After every fight, fighters have to decide what to do next. I have a lot outside of boxing that makes me happy, and it takes the sting out of tonight," Soliman said.
