That's three minutes gone in the round.
Metropolis cracks Yudovich with a big head shot that has him covering up instantly! He's rolled onto his side and the referee has seen enough - this one is aaaaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:21 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Marius Metropolis!
Marius Metropolis is the new light heavyweight champion!
