Spoakin lands a couple of decent looking shots.
Gruffo is working an open guard here, looking to improve his position. No doubt that will leave him open to counters but at least he's being more offensive.
Spoakin with a couple of shots to the head there. Not particularly brutal.
Spoakin arches his back and unloads with a massive left and a right! Gruffo's eyes roll back into his head, he's out cold! The ref dives in to stop the fight - wow, they were hard shots!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:59 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Eulogy Spoakin!
