Chris Billam-Smith vs. Chev Clarke<\/a> at Copper Box Arena.<\/p>\nIn the end, it was a finish worthy of any main broadcast as Dzambekov (15-0, 11 KOs) crashed a pinpoint left-hand bolo into Parker\u2019s solar plexus from the southpaw stance.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy weight was perfect, camp was perfect and I couldn’t wait to come here and show the British fans what I\u2019ve got,\u201d he said afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy last fight was a step up but Zach Parker was another step up, and I\u2019m happy that I finished it the way I did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dzambekov had made a good start in front of a nearly empty arena, landing with a big left hand to the head after a minute, which appeared to stiffen up Parker\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n
The Derby man regrouped well and began having his own success, particularly with the straight right hand to the body. However, he struggled to spot Dzambekov\u2019s arcing back hand, which he landed regularly to Parker\u2019s chin. <\/p>\n
At the start of the fourth, the Englishman touched down briefly after a tangle of legs but it was not long before he was over legitimately. This time, he was unable to reach his feet before referee Kieran McCann completed his 10-count.<\/p>\n
At the start of the night, 28-year-old Dzambekov was not ranked inside the top 10 with any of the four major sanctioning bodies but that will now likely change.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want any of the names, whoever it is,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll take a little rest and then come back for the next fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
