Of Rivia dips a shoulder and cracks Skrumbo with a mighty uppercut! Skrumbo falls back against the cage and Of Rivia unloads with a barrage of strikes! Skrumbo is completely out with his eyes open, only supported by the cage! Save him ref! Eventually the ref decides to do his job and jumps in - Of Rivia screams abuse at the incompetent official before going over to celebrate with his corner. Brutal stuff!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:27 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Geralt Of Rivia!
Geralt Of Rivia decided to hype himself up post fight. It was going well but he went on about it a bit too long and the crowd turned on him a little.
Da Skrumbo spoke after the fight, saying 'I'll be back!'.
