Elder Stops Burton.

In the battle for the WBO NABO lightweight championship tonight at the Chumash Casino, Santa Ynez, California, USA, Ebo “X-treme Machine” Elder stopped Courtney Burton in the twelfth and final round. Elder, from Atlanta, Georgia was docked a point early in the fight but went on to put Burton down twice in the final round before the fight was stopped. Burton’s last fight before this one was one of the most controversial in recent memory as he appeared to clearly lose a decision to Emanuel Augustus only to be handed what seemed to be a hometown decision in front of his Detroit fans. Elder moves his record to twenty-two wins with one loss and fourteen of his wins have come by way of knockout.
