NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Two-time former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman continued his comeback by scoring a fourth-round technical knockout over Shannon Miller on Saturday.

The fight was stopped 1:37 into the fourth round after Rahman (47-7-2) sent Miller (16-5-0) to the mat for the fourth time in a main-event fight that was scheduled to go 10 rounds. Rahman, who had knocked Miller woozy in the third round, dealt the final blow with a left jab followed by a right that sent Miller tumbling into his own corner at the Niagara Falls Conference Center.

In the co-featured event, John Mackey (12-5-2) scored a majority decision win over former Canadian Olympian Donald Orr (15-1) in an eight-round middleweight fight.
