Round 3:

Johanneson looked really struggling to get up from that last one. Could be a brief night. Johan slow out of the corner. Kira jabbing hard, and an overhand right puts Johan down again. Seem to be really struggling. Uppercut and a hook, and the ref gives jJohhan a break for pushing. Johan hangs on. Two big uppercuts, and Johan looking to avoid avoid avoud. Jahon looks to push out the jab, but Kira is looking to tee off. Uppercut from Kira, and Johan hits in a right uppercut of his own. They're trading in there, and Johan might be recovering. Good guard and resilience. Two more uppercuts from Kira. Right to the body floors Johan again. He's up again, and Kira puiling forward.

Kira with two knockdowns but Carl is still in there.
30-24.

Uppercut from Kira, and Johanneson goes down. REf waves it off as Johanneson writhes on the floor.

Oh dear

Matchmakers must be aplauded

Who tains him

[superheavyrhun]

Medics are in the ring for Johanneson, giving him oxygen, but he is showing some movement in there. They're being cautious, as he took a real beating against a really strong vicious hitting fighter. He's sitting up now, and looks to have recovered, but still shaky as they lift him onto the stool.

[ross]

Whoever bet on Carl needs to think very carefully before they lay down their hard earnt pounds again

Carls defence is hands high, stay still and punch light

how you gonna keep anyone off, let alone someone who knows that they can beat you#

Like I said, well done the match makers

[Memphis]

That was difficult to watch. Its OK saying if he gets past four he's got a shot but theres only so much he should be expected to take to get there. The Ingles let him take too much IMO.

[killersheep]

I will say this though Rhun you are getting damn good at the RBR, improving every time.

Thanks a ton mate.

is Johan OK?

John Durkin is Johanneson's trainer and manager, but I think it's a bit harsh to have a go at the managers. Johanneson deserved his shot, as he had done well and showed plenty of promise in his British title fights, but I guess he still has that title to fall back on. Kirakosyan showed that he might have talent to go beyond European titleship in my opinion too, he is one of the strongest super feathers I've seen out there, and power like that will trouble most everyone.

[Memphis]

Man against a boy wasnt it. Kirakosyan looked so strong.

is Johan OK?

Cheers Greg, neither looked to clinch so much so it made it easier. Johanneson wlaked out of the ring with a few of the medics and he looks as though he should be alright, but if there's any more news on the box, I'll bring it to you.

Personally, I probably agree and think that the second knockdown was really all she wrote for him, and that despite showing guts and determination, Kirakosyan was always going to have the power to finish it before it got to the middle rounds.

Frank Maloney said: "It was a bad knockout and perhaps the ref should have stepped in sooner. When he was sitting down he seemed clear headed, but perhaps it should have been stopped in the third.
"Maybe we've found out tonight that Johanneson is a good domestic fighter, and he has a puncher's chance with anyone, but otnight he was beaten by a champion who knew he could just walk through Carl."
