A nice right hand lands inside from Shannon.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at James Raban's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:35 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Mike Shannon!
After winning the bout, Mike Shannon thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
