While tonight's Showtime main event is obviously Adrien Broner vs. Emmanuel Taylor, Lucas Matthysse ensured paying spectators got a bit of meat for their money's worth when he dispatched Roberto Ortiz in the second round with a body blow targeted precisely at his opponent's liver.

Observers think Ortiz was screwed by a quick count-out, but we timed it down to the frame. Ortiz was down for 12.5 seconds before the referee finally shouted "Diez!"
