Sanders swings wildly with a couple of big hooks
and Rose counters with a left and a right... And another left! Sanders is down! He's done! The ref dives in to save him and that's the end of the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Donnie Rose!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Donnie Rose made sure he mentioned Milwaukee's Best 160 -$100 SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
