In the third-round two left hooks to the liver sent Tahdooahnippah to the canvas but the 36 year-old was able to find his feet at the count of eight. Following the knock down, Nielsen continued to press and punish the \u2018Comanche Boy\u2019 forcing him to quit on his stool at the start of the eighth-round.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019This was a really important victory for me,\u2019\u2019 said Nielsen. \u2018\u2019I would of liked to have seen him go down, but I\u2019m really pleased with my performance. I stuck to the game plan and it paid off. At super middleweight I\u2019m stronger and better than ever. Now it\u2019s my time to shine!\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019I was impressed with Patrick tonight,\u2019\u2019 said promoter Nisse Sauerland. \u2018\u2019He systematically broke Tahdooahnippah down and made a proud warrior quit.
