It looks like Boris The Bullettooth has been cut.
Nice straight punches there by Langer. You know Roy Jones Jr respects the hands of Langer.
Bullettooth is rocked!
Bullettooth throws a head kick that misses
and Langer counters by gaining double undehooks. He picks up Bullettooth and carries him across to his own corner. OH, that's a monster slam and Bullettooth is out cold! A brutal end to the fight and credit to Langer for not following up with any more shots. He recognised that Bullettooth was out. Good sportsmanship.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Slam). Bernhard Langer!
Bernhard Langer is the new heavyweight champion!
Bernhard Langer decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
