The result was never in doubt as Bobby Lashley simply ran over Wes Sims in a few minutes, winning via TKO in the first round. Sims didn’t really come to fight, and collapsed to his stomach without taking a shot. Lashley got him down early, pounded him from guard, and eventually got Sims’ back and stopped him with strikes. Sims complained about the finish, but it was a good stoppage.
After the fight, one announcer asked what the win proved. Nobody said anything, because it didn’t prove a thing. The outcome was never in doubt, and it’s about time Lashley fought someone at or near his level.
