Pinto creates a bit of space for himself and unleashed what can only be described as a tiger uppercut, straight out of Street Fighter! David crashes to the mat! Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5,6... it doesn't look like he's going to make it! David face plants back to the mat and the referee calls off the fight! Pinto takes it with a brutal technical knockout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:12 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Arthur Pinto!
Arthur Pinto spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
