Lalor tried to finish off McCoy, but McCoy managed to last out the round. Lalor continued his barrage of punches in round three, but an unsteady McCoy again weathered the storm.

37 seconds into round four, Lalor knocked down McCoy for a second time, this time with some vicious body shots. McCoy was up at seven, but this time Lalor wasn’t going to let him off of the hook. Lalor hit McCoy with a short, quick left hook, and McCoy again hit the canvas. Although McCoy made it to his feet at the count of eight, the referee had seen enough and stopped the fight.

Lalor won the fight by TKO and is the new middleweight champion.
