Pavlik stops Espino in fifth to keep titles
21 December 2009 / REUTERS, YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO
Kelly Pavlik stopped challenger Miguel Espino in the fifth round to retain his WBC and WBO middleweight titles in front of a hometown crowd in Youngstown, Ohio late on Saturday.
Pavlik, who has a 36-1 record, twice knocked down Espino with uppercuts in the fourth round, and put him down for a third time in the fifth. Espino fought back after the final knockdown but his trainer waved a towel to signal his fighter had had enough. Despite being a heavy underdog, Espino (20-3-1) took the fight to Pavlik from the opening seconds and continued to throw punches even after the bell rang to end the first round.
