Morgan is rocked!
Paunovic creates some distance for himself and unleashes a massive uppercut that sends Morgan's eyes rolling into the back of his head! Morgan drops to his knees and Paunovic pours it on with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:15 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Zoran Paunovic!
Zoran Paunovic very nearly forgot to thank FinnFighter Nutrition (Five 160Q supps!) amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
