The pair had fought to a draw just two months ago but Bentley looked a level above at the BT Sport Studios in Stratford.
The pair were even in the first but Bentley began to land right-hand bombs, with swelling showing as early as the second round.
In the third and fourth – and with Heffron’s eye closing rapidly – Bentley was able to land heavy punches at will, inflicting yet more damage to the eye.
