Hastings takes a shot to the head.
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Gentry lands a huge knee in the clinch and it's knocked Hastings out! Massive knee - he's celebrating with his corner and the crowd showing their appreciation!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Knee). Billy Gentry!
In his post fight interview, Billy Gentry started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception. |
