Lithuanian welterweight contender Egidijus “Mean Machine” Kavaliauskas conquered the World Boxing Council’s Welterweight Continental Americas Championship, overwhelming and KO`ing Canadian Mikael Zewski, in the eighth round this Saturday at the MGM Grand Bubble, from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Kavaliauskas (22-1-1, 18 KOs) hurt and dropped Zewski (34-2, 23 KOs) with a combination in a torrid seventh round. Only the bell saved him. In the eighth it was all over for the battered Canadian. After the second knockdown of the fight, referee Kenny Bayless immediately moved in and stopped the fight.
Zewski was leading on two of the judges’ scorecards at the time of the knockout.
