Carl Froch moved to 23-1 (14 KO's) with an impressive 1st title defense of his IBO SMW belt via a 15th TKO of the surprisingly game, Dyah Davis.
Davis stood & traded for the 1st 3 rounds with the strong British champ but eventually Froch's strength & power were just too much for the son of Howard Davis.
Dyah took a horrendous beating, hitting the deck 8 times before the ref stopped it in the 15th - far too late for many ringside observers.
The judges had it: 139-121, 138-121 & 139-120.
Froch had the PL edge: 468 (36%) to 204 (28%).
Dyah's left eye was red & close to closing from the repeated sledgehammer like rights he took from Froch all night long. In fact in the 15th, Carl shook his hand after appearing to hurt it from so much use in his 1st title defense.
