Roy Jones Jr. knocked out lightly regarded Omar Sheika in front of a roaring hometown crowd Saturday night to capture the North American Boxing Association's vacant light heavyweight championship. The referee stopped the fight at 1:45 of the fifth round after Jones had blooded Sheika's face with a flurry of punches.
Going into the match with only one round of MMA experience, former WWE star Bobby Lashley was able to win all three rounds against tough veteran Jason Guida, a replacement who took the fight on 1-½ week notice. Guida nearly pulled-off a major upset early in the third round with a guillotine choke, but the powerfully built Lashley was able to pop his head out of the hold.
