Dempsey controlled the fight from the opening bell and Baker appeared to be just trying to survive. Baker tried to fight in the third and got knocked around for his effort.
In the fourth, Dempsey pinned Baker to the ropes and landed at will until the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
Dempsey is one of two fighters to have comeback from retirement this year and the first to win a title.

Yes go Dempsey hopefully he'll get to hold onto it for the nice long reign that he deserves. Oh yeah who was the other guy who cameback?
