Gonzalez was down three times in the second round before the contest was waved off by referee Chaz Coakley.

Unbeaten Sharp, who holds the WBO European super-featherweight title, picked up his 15th victory. 

Battersea’s Denzel Bentley was a points winner over Pavel Garaj to make it 10 straight wins in the paid ranks.
