Dmitry "The Mechanic" Mikhaylenko is a Russian welterweight.

Last night on NBC Sports he became the first boxer to stop tough Ronald Cruz, who went the distance with contenders like Kermit Cintron and Errol Spence.

Saw the fight. He is a work in progress. He got tagged a bit by a C level fighter. However, he was able to closed the show once he got his opponent in trouble. He is defiently some one to follow.

Saturday in Indio, California

Dmitry Mikhaylenko TKO8 Johan Perez

Records: Mikhaylenko (20-0, 9 KOs); Perez (20-3-1, 13 KOs)

Rafael's remarks: Mikhaylenko, 29, of Russia, who already had beaten gatekeeper opponents Ronald Cruz (by knockout) and Sechew Powell (by decision) in 2014, scored the most notable win of his career against Perez, a former interim junior welterweight titleholder, in the HBO Latino-televised main event.

Mikhaylenko pressed the action from the outset and had Perez going backward throughout the first round. He was relentless the entire fight and basically wore out Perez, 32, of Venezuela, who has lost two of his past three fights; the other defeat was a decision to Mauricio Herrera for an interim junior welterweight belt 13 months ago.

Mikhaylenko and Perez had some exciting exchanges but Mikhaylenko seemed to get the better of them and snapped Perez's head back several times. With Perez, who was cut over his left eye, seemingly running out of gas in the eighth round and Mikhaylenko continuing to pressure him -- he drove him into the ropes with a flurry of punches and never left up -- referee Ray Corona stepped in and stopped the bout at 1 minute, 21 seconds.

This is a very good win for Mikhaylenko, who claimed a regional belt that will move him up a sanctioning body's rankings and closer to a shot at a world title.
