A cross from Carioni lands.
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Carioni drops Bollomard with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Bollomard looks back up at him and smiles so Carioni waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
Bollomard is rocked!
Bollomard slips under a jab.
Bollomard half commits to a counter takedown before pushing away, out of range.
Oh Bollomard is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Carioni takes a swing at Bollomard's ribcage but misses.
Bollomard is looking to wear down Carioni with body shots, infact he's throwing more body shots than head shots at the moment.
Bollomard gets caught by a brutal right hook which buckles his knees! Bollomard tries to backpedal with his spaghettilegs but Carioni is headhunting and goes for the kill. A jab and a right hook connect and Bollomard buckles badly as his eyes roll back. The referee steps in and saves Bollomard!! Bollomard is complaining but he was clearly out on his feet. Carioni throws his mouthpiece into the crowd. Mmmm spit-tastic.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:48 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Rodrigo Carioni!
Rodrigo Carioni decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
