Ricardo Williams KO Ian Smith 2:15 3rd

Williams look very impressive in round one as Smith was wobbled several times.  Smith turned the tables a bit in the second but Williams came out strong in the third with several combinations to the head and body.  In the third, Williams threw a left hook that connected flush on Smith's eye which began to swell and he went down.  Smith rose only to take a severe beating and went down again and the fight was stopped.  When Smith finally rose his left eye was completely shut.
