Charles Conwell capped a solid performance with a dramatic finish Wednesday in Uncasville, Conn.

The 2016 Olympian did enough to win rounds against Wendy Toussaint before ending the scheduled 10-round junior middleweight fight with a right uppercut that evidently broke Toussaint’s nose in the ninth.

The official time was 2:42.

Conwell (13-0, 10 KOs) was coming off a fourth-round stoppage of Ramses Agaton in February, his first fight since he delivered the punches that ended the life of Patrick Day in October of last year.

The fight on Wednesday followed a pattern. Neither Conwell nor Toussaint (12-1, 5 KOs) was particularly active, as they threw an average of about 35 and 33 punches per round, respectively.

However, Conwell, strong and compact, was explosive at times. He clearly landed the bigger punches, which gave him a big lead on the cards going into the final round.

Conwell seemed to injure his right hand when he landed a punch late in Round 7. He threw few rights the following round. However, it was a big right that would end matters.

Conwell seemed to be on his way to a unanimous-decision victory when the uppercut landed directly on Toussaint’s nose. He winced and immediately took a knee, where he stayed until the referee reached a count of 10.

The ring doctor could be heard saying that he believed Toussaint suffered a broken nose. A cornerman kept a towel on the nose in an effort to stop the bleeding.

The main event followed three first-round knockouts.

Janelson Figueroa Bocachica (16-0, 11 KOs) put Nicklaus Flaz (9-2, 7 KOs) down three times and stopped him 2:43 into a scheduled eight-round welterweight bout.

Brandun Lee (20-0, 18 KOs) put Jimmy Williams (16-4-2, 5 KOs) on the canvas three times before another scheduled eight-round welterweight fight.

And David Navarro, making his pro debut in a scheduled four-round featherweight bout, put Nathan Benichou (2-2, 2 KOs) away in the opening round.
