Tarczynski has his front leg slapped to the side - a nice low kick landing there from Beckett.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Beckett drops Tarczynski with a big left hand! Tarczynski is injured, injured bad! Beckett jumps in and finished him with strikes! The fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:16 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Robert Beckett!
Robert Beckett is the new middleweight champion!
