Jam moves into range and throws a lovely three punch combination.
Dougan is rocked!
Bob Jam is looking to throw some combinations by the looks of things.
Jam lands a leg kick. The shin dug right into the meat of the thigh.
Oh Dougan is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Jam throws an overhand right from the outside, which connects and sends Dougan stumbling backwards into the cage! Dougan bounces back off the cage towards Jam, who cracks him with a two punch combination that drops him to his knees! Jam lands two more shots before the referee has chance to intervene - what a finish! Jam celebrates with his corner as the crowd cheer loudly.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:57 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Bob Jam! Bob Jam retains his bantamweight title!
