Winklemesser is still on wobbly legs! Can Limbulan finish him?
Limbulan dips a shoulder and cracks Winklemesser with a mighty uppercut! Winklemesser falls back against the ropes and Limbulan unloads with a barrage of strikes! Winklemesser is completely out with his eyes open, only supported by the ropes! Save him ref! Eventually the ref decides to do his job and jumps in - Limbulan screams abuse at the incompetent official before going over to celebrate with his corner. Brutal stuff!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 8:59 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Antofer Limbulan!
Antofer Limbulan retains his middleweight title!
