Cirkovic creates a bit of space and fires a knee right up the middle, almost lifting Po Boy off his feet and sending him crashing to the canvas! Po Boy is trying to get back to his feet but his equilibrium is completely gone! The referee has called it off! This fight is over! Cirkovic is jumping up and down like a mad man, celebrating with his cornermen.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:32 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Knee). Milovan Cirkovic!
Milovan Cirkovic thanked the fans post fight for their support.
