Kush loads up on a big left hand. Kavelin felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Kush looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Kavelin can't hide his disappointment, as Kush celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:27 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Krimson Kush!
A relieved looking Krimson Kush thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
