Vitale, who has now been a professional for just over 5 months, may have needed 6 rounds to take Lloyd out though he'll have been pleased at both the distance of the fight, going 6 for the first time, and at the fact he scored a stoppage over Lloyd.
We now expect Vitale back for fight #6 in about 4 weeks though his opponent is unlikely to be anyone too testing.
In what appears to be the only other Heavyweight contest of the day Argentinian Gabriel Gustavo Heck (15-25-2, 11) managed to stop Alfredo Serafin Taborga (6-10, 5), a man who has now been stopped 9 time.
Whilst on paper the Heck/Taborga fight is insignificant it'll likely mean a lot to Heck to who managed to avenge a loss from 2007 as a result of this third round KO victory, even if it was Taborga's first fight in around 3 years.
