and Price counters with a lovely straight right hand!
Some bone on bone action there as Price checks a low kick. Luckily it wasn't a particularly hard one.

and Price connects with a straight left hand counter down the middle.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Goro thows a leg kick but Price checks it
and Price counters with a crisp right hand that drops Goro! Price lets Goro back up to his feet, looking for a finish!
Goro is rocked!
Price pushing out the jab but it's not landing.
Goro throws a lazy uppercut
and Price counters with a huge left! Goro is in big trouble! He's backing up but Price isn't giving him chance to recover. Under a barage of punches the ref has to step in to save Goro from any more damage. A dominating finish by Price!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Trevor Price!
