Kattar is coming for the featherweight title
At the post-fight press conference, Kattar said that he is coming for the featherweight title and no one can do a thing about it.
Stephens went on the offense from the beginning of the contest, throwing haymakers at Kattar in the opening round, missing out narrowly. Stephens also chopped away at Kattar’s legs with relentless kicks, controlling the pace of the fight during the early exchanges. Kattar made his way back into the fight after landing a devastating right hand that rocked Stephens.
Kattar slowly gained an upper hand in the contest, teeing away at Stephens and chopping away at his legs, giving him a taste of his own medicine. Halfway through the second round, both fighters engaged in a stand and bang contest, with Kattar unleashing a nasty elbow that split Stephens right open. That was it for Stephens as the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
With this win, Kattar now has three wins in his last four fights with his only defeat coming at the hands of another huge featherweight prospect Zabit Magomedsharipov.
