The bout headlined a seven bout telecast on AWE. Barroso raced out and set a fast pace over the first four rounds. Crolla was biding his time landing some good shots on the the middle of the ring and he started to take over on a fading Barroso towards the end of round five. In round six, Crolla began to hurt Barroso and the Venezuelan challenger started to break down and seemed spent as he walked to his corner. Crolla jumped on Barroso and landed a tremendous flurry of punches that put Barroso on the canvas for the ten count. It was the second straight stunning knockout for Crolla on AWE--A Wealth of Entertainment as he won his title with a knockout over Darleys Perez in November. Crolla is now 31-4-3 with 13 knockouts. Barroso is 19-1-2. "What a day for boxing on AWE. Once again, AWE had a stellar show that was headlined by a great knockout by Anthony Crolla. We continue to put on exciting world title bouts and we should have some announcements about more great boxing action the coming months," said AWE President, Charles Herring. In the televised co-feature from Hamburg, Germany, Kubrat Pulev won the European Heavyweight title and an IBF Elimination Heavyweight bout by winning a 12-round split decision over Dereck Chisora. Pulev controlled the action with quick combinations and Chisora was never able to get in a groove to land any hard power shots. Pulev won by scores of 118-110 and 116-112. Somehow a judge saw the fight for Chisora by 115-113. Pulev is 23-1. Chisora is 25-6. Shayne Singleton stopped Anwil Anwar in round eight of their ten round welterweight contest. Singleton looked like he was going to make it a quick and easy night as he dropped Anwar in round one from a left hook.

With the fight being on an even level, Singleton landed a big left that sent Anwar down in round eight. Anwar was clearly hurt, and Singleton jumped all over him and the fight was quickly stopped at 1:37 of round right. Singleton is now 23-1 with eight knockouts. Anwar is 22-6.
