Bwoy will need to tighten up his combinations if he doesn't want to gas himself out, swinging at thin air.
Crack! A monster head kick from Schultz and Bwoy falls like a tree - timbeeeeeeeeeeerrrr! A highlight reel knockout by Schultz!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:15 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Dave Schultz!
