Russian super heavyweight Magomed Omarov has capped a disappointing afternoon session for the United States by knocking out Dominic Breazeale.
Omarov dominated from the first bell, forcing the referee to issue a standing count as the American struggled to defend himself against the onslaught.
The second round started in much the same way as Breazeale's chin continued to take punishment.
A hammering left shook Breazeale to the core in the third to put the icing on a 19-8 victory for the big Russian.
