Tapia remains undefeated after scoring a six round shutout win over Marcus Thompkins at the Joyce Center in South Bend, Indiana. Tapia who helped Pacquiao prepare for his WBC light middleweight title fight against Antonio Margarito was in great form according to a report by Undisputed Fight Magazine. The 21 year old Tapia started off aggressively and landed solid shots to the body and head of Thompkins and dropped him with one minute of the second round. Thompkins was also given a standing eight count in round three as Tapia dominated the six round bout. Undisputed Fight Magazine said Tapia was ?pounding away at Thompkins for the remaining three rounds and was technically too strong? for Thompkins. All three judges scored the fight 60-52. With the win Tapia improved to 11-0 with 5 knockouts while the 26 year old Thompkins who lost his fifth straight bout dropped to 5-5-1 with 2 knockouts. Popular light heavyweight, Notre Dame graduate Mike Lee came out quickly to dominate his opponent Jacob Stiers in the first two rounds dropping him twice. Stiers was also given a standing eight count in the four round bout. Round 3 was a lot closer with Stiers taking the round after knocking Lee down early in the round. Lee was able to stay cool and put in a good performance in the 3rd to record a unanimous decision win with all three judges also scoring a shutout 38-34. With the win the 24 year old Lee improved to 6-0 with 4 knockouts while the 32 year old Stiers who suffered his first setback dropped to 4-1 with 2 knockouts.
