Former heavyweight challenger Andrew Golota of Poland stopped 34-year-old McBride on Saturday night with a technical knockout after the 2005 conqueror of Mike Tyson suffered a cut just beneath his left eye.

With the eye virtually closed referee Arthur Mercante stopped the fight with Golota ahead on the scorecards after 2:42 of the sixth of 12 scheduled rounds, giving the 39-year-old Pole the IBF North American heavyweight title.
