Hunter drops Kuzmin right at the start of the round with a beautiful left hand that lands on the right-side of the chin.

He hits the canvas in double quick time, but his legs appear to be strong when he gets up.

Sees out the round fairly easily. Another round for Hunter, though - a 10-8 one. Have to say Kuzmin is six points down after five rounds.

It shows you just how far women's boxing has come that it is topping the undercard of a bill like this.

That being said, the pay structure still needs to improve drastically. Read what Heather Hardy had to say about what she is being paid for this huge fight.

The pace Kuzmin is boxing at is too slow, it's no problem for Hunter.

The American looks completely unfazed with what is coming back now and you feel this one is a formality, even if Hunter fails to find the stoppage which he would presumably like to get in the later rounds.

Seven rounds in and Kuzmin yet to get off the mark on my card.

Here's a picture of Heather Hardy's last fight where she won the WBO World Featherweight crown against Shelly Vincent. She won the fight, which took place in October of last year, by unanimous decision, but hasn't fought since.

Best punch of the fight from Kuzmin as he hits Hunter with a left hook-right hand combination.

Hunter takes it like a champ, though.

Eight rounds in and Kuzmin needs to back that bit of success up now.

While Hardy was winning by decision, Amanda Serrano's last bout saw her knock out Eva Voraberger in the first round to claim the WBO World Super Flyweight title.

Can she do the same again tonight?

In case you were wondering, Sergey Kuzmin has had absolutely no success whatsoever since the eighth round.

Hunter is strolling towards a shoutout victory on the cards here, a disappointing spectacle as a contest you have to say.

A fairly entertaining final round to a fairly underwhelming fight. Kuzmin gives it a decent go as he looks for the knockout he so desperately needed.

But the slick Hunter was too good for the Russian.

Waiting for the scorecards now but it's a formality.

117-110 from all three judges in favour of Michael Hunter.

That's kind on Kuzmin. Barely gave him a round.

Palpable excitement inside Madison Square Garden right now. The next one is the big fight we're focusing on tonight.

Heather Hardy vs Amanda Serrano. Get your popcorn ready.
