Lapin told the fight after the lead hand from the opening bell and landed a right hand straight down the middle once he got to his feet. As the Bulmeistars began to give ground, Lapin filled the space and let his combinations flow, strong and direct.
The right hand forced a count, and when the Bulmeistars stood up still taking clean shots, the referee stepped in.
Lapin finished the fight without taking anything clean.

Usyk Runs Camp in Ukraine as Joshua Joins
Oleksandr Usyk watched ringside as the event unfolded, using the card as part of his preparation for his May 23 fight with Rico Verhoeven in Giza.
“My preparation doesn’t change, I talk to all my opponents with the same determination,” Usyk told Ukrainian public broadcaster Suspilne.
“I train; I am my own worst enemy because the opportunities are equal. Sometimes my friend Sashko comes up and says, ‘Maybe we should rest?’ And I say to him: ‘Go and rest, I need to work.'”
Anthony Joshua has joined the camp and is training with Usyk’s team under Iegor Golub. The sessions picked up the pace, with Joshua working on timing, positioning, and punch selection as he prepared for his return.
Eddie Hearn told BoxingScene.com: “He’s had a really good couple of days. That’s how long he’s been in camp, and there’s no decision yet on when he’ll be back.”
He added: “I spoke to Joshua last night, and this morning he said, ‘I’ve had a great week, I feel amazing.'”
Thank you to everyone who was at the Rising Stars event, it means a lot to me and my team!#RisingStars #BoxingNight #Usyk17Promotion #BoxingLife pic.twitter.com/8gZn3ke361
