That has opened up Michael Patrick Declan's cut even more.
Declan tries to get into range but Barrientos steps to the side and lands a beautiful hook that drops Declan! He's faceplanted into the mat, ass in the air... he's out cold! That's an image he won't want to show his grandkids when he gets older! Barrientos scores the big KO victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:20 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Shawn Barrientos!
Shawn Barrientos retains his lightweight title!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Shawn Barrientos waved his t-shirt featuring Sully's Bar & Grill's logo in front of the cameras.
