Are you kidding me?! Yap ducked down and unloaded an uppercut from hell that sent STEEL PENN clean off his feet! Someone make me a GIF - that's knockout of the night for sure!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:31 of round 4, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). James Yap!
James Yap retains his light heavyweight title!
