Robbins catches Hooj with a nice straight right. He seems pissed - ooooh, it's on now! On like donkey kong!
Robbins lands with a right hand. #ROC#
Hooj is rocked!
Robbins circles and sees the opportunity to plant his feet and throw a really nice straight left hand that drops Hooj to the canvas! Hooj doesn't know where he is but he's trying to survive - Robbins keeps piling on the pressure and forces the referee to step in! This one is aaaaaall over!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:15 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Marty Robbins!
Marty Robbins is the new welterweight champion!
Marty Robbins gave a mention to BuriedAlive// Fight Gear in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
