Nice defenses there by Hopper.
Hopper throws a jab to the body, straight down the pipe. Boom. That sent Lotapewp stumbling backwards but he manages to regain his composure quickly.
Lotapewp looks gassed!
The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Hopper cracks Lotapewp with a nasty uppercut that draws ooohs from the crowd and sends Lotapewp tumbling backwards onto the mat. He tries to recover but Hopper pounces and lands a hail of unanswered strikes that forces the referee to step in to end the fight! Lotapewp is not happy but he gave the referee no choice!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:08 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Elliot Hopper!
