Josh "The Hammer" Popper (6-0, 6 KOs) def. Dillon Pumphrey (1-1) Heavyweight — 4 Rounds (scheduled) Result: TKO Round 1 (1:12) Popper needed just 72 seconds, but this one was hard to celebrate. The undefeated heavyweight from Somers Point, a sculpted 235 pounds, came out with visible intensity after comments made by Pumphrey at the weigh-in created bad blood between the two. Pumphrey, a West Virginia native who weighed in at a grossly overweight 330 pounds and entered the ring wearing Butterbean-inspired trunks to match the look, was never a realistic opponent at that size. He came out swinging haymakers while Popper talked to him from the opening bell, tagging him with jabs and power shots from range. A check left hook dropped Pumphrey for a nine-count. He rose but had no interest in continuing, and the referee waved it off. Popper has now stopped all six of his professional opponents, but this was a mismatch that did nothing to test him.
