PPV results:
Caleb Plant lived up to his name by planting Anthony Dirrell on the canvas with ten seconds left of the ninth round.
After being ribbed over his power, Plant unleashed an excruciating uppercut that was worrying when it first landed. Dirrell was prone and out of it for a few seconds after the referee called the fight off.
Plant is back in the big time with the victory and on his way to another title shot.
Heavyweight force Frank Sanchez landed a hellacious shot in the ninth round sending Carlos Negron through the ropes.
Before the fight-ending blow, Sanchez seemed the most likely to get the knockout from the pair.
Negron rose from the blow. However, it only took a minor threat for the referee to step in and save Negron from further punishment.
Sanchez is now 21 wins without defeat and remains on the path to a world heavyweight title opportunity.
Gary Antonio Russell looked out of sorts as he struggled to get to grips with the style of Manny Rodriguez. Russell kept losing rounds as trainer, brother, and former world champion Gary Russell tried to snap him out of it.
Rodriguez racked up the rounds until the eighth, when a superbly timed shot put Russell down hard. The bell rang as the count continued, but Russell just made it.
As Russell got time to recover, he was still on shaking legs in the ninth. Then, the same incident that halted their first meeting earlier this year in 16 seconds happened again.
A sickening accidental clash of heads put Rodriguez out of commission as he broke a cheekbone and was forced out of the fight.
