Barnes is holding his hands too far apart here. Troyd throws a hard, straight punch right down the pipe and BOOM! Barnes is out! That punch landed square on the jaw - what a shot!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:13 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Ted Troyd!
Our winner, Ted Troyd, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
Clifton Barnes spoke after the fight, saying 'Sorry for disappointing all my fans. I'll come back stronger and work my way back up the ladder.'.
