A solid body kick from Vahti.
Moretti moves out of range of the body kick.
Vahti dips down and scores with a jab to the body.
Vahti drops Moretti with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Moretti looks back up at him and smiles so Vahti waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
Moretti is rocked!
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Vahti finds Moretti's off switch, with a big overhand right that connects perfectly to the side of the head! Moretti flops back against the cage, eyes gazing into the distance. Vahti lands an unnecessary shot before the referee has time to step in and end the fight. Brutal stuff but I'm sure Moretti will be OK.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Karri Vahti!
During a confident post fight interview, Karri Vahti thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
