Ohhhhh! A huge head kick from Khan! Patterson is out on his feet! Khan rushes in and throws more strikes. The ref is looking closely - Patterson is covering up but the punishment is just too much and the ref steps in to stop the fight! Patterson is staring into space, just thankful that the beatdown has ended. Brutal finish.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ganbaatar Khan!
During a confident post fight interview, Ganbaatar Khan thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
