    It was a dramatic finish to an otherwise tepid affair between heavyweights Bryant Jennings and Oscar Rivas on Friday night at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

    For the better part of 11 rounds, it was a tactical bout in which neither Jennings nor Rivas really asserted himself or took too many risks.

    But in the 12th round, Rivas, who had been implored by trainer Marc Ramsey to be more aggressive throughout the night, landed a series of hard right hands that staggered Jennings and sent him to the canvas early. Then, after another flurry of power punches from Rivas, Jennings was unable to defend himself, and the fight was called off less than a minute into the final round.
