Sukuraba is still on wobbly legs! Can Biffman finish him?
Biffman's corner are urging him to control the action in the clinch for a moment, rather than mount any serious offense. I'm sure the crowd appreciate those instructions... not.
Biffman is holding Sukuraba round the back of the neck and unloading with elbows! Boom, boom, boom! 3 big elbows land right to the bridge of the nose and Sukuraba goes down! Oh, his nose is a mess! I'm not sure he's going to beat the count... 4,5,6,7,8,9,10. He's done! Biffman takes it and Sukuraba is going to the hospital to get that nose checked out!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:59 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Elbows). Biff Biffman!
Biff Biffman seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
