Andrews throws a jab but it's blocked by Puncharello.
Puncharello throws an overhand right from the outside, which connects and sends Andrews stumbling backwards into the cage! Andrews bounces back off the cage towards Puncharello, who cracks him with a two punch combination that drops him to his knees! Puncharello lands two more shots before the referee has chance to intervene - what a finish! Puncharello celebrates with his corner as the crowd cheer loudly.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:34 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Don Puncharello!
Don Puncharello is the new featherweight champion!
