Savage waves his right hand out in front of him, looking to distract Lucas. Oh, he's unloaded a beast of a left hand - it worked! He's dropped Lucas to the canvas! Can he finish him!?
Lucas is rocked!
The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Savage loads up on a big left hand. Lucas felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Savage looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Lucas can't hide his disappointment, as Savage celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). The Royal Savage!
The Royal Savage retains his lightweight title!
During a confident post fight interview, The Royal Savage thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
