Naoya Inoue drops Michael Dasmarinas three times en route to quick stoppage win to retain WBA, IBF bantamweight gold
Inoue got right to work and got in control of the fight, and things looked like it could have ended in the second when Inoue scored a knockdown after Dasmarinas gave a delayed reaction to a liver shot.
Inoue then worked over the body some more, scoring a pair of knockdowns in the third round, the second of which was enough for the fight to be waved off.
