In an absolute war, Conah Walker came from behind to drop Sam Eggington in the eighth and stop him along the ropes in the tenth. Walker’s corner told him he was behind and he had to win the last three rounds and/or stop Eggington in order to win. He did just that as he buckled the taller Eggington, driving him to the ropes and unloading a volley of clean punches, forcing referee Steve Gray to step in, halting matters at 1:59 of the tenth. Former WBC cruiserweight champ and commentator Tony Bellew said, “We had a modern day Gatti-Ward her tonight.” High praise for these two super welters, ensuring future paydays for each. Walker improves to 18-3-1, 9 KOs, while Eggington falls to 36-10, 20 KOs.
