#R1#
Salmond scores with a nice looking left hook and follows it up with an uppercut!
#CUT2#It looks like Hans Flick has been cut.
Flick is breathing heavily.
Salmond goes for a small jab and connects. Now Salmond goes in closer pressing the issue. Left hook, right straight! Flick stumbles back but Salmond runs in with a huge uppercut knocking Flick to the ground! What a finish! You have to wonder if Flick will ever be the same after a knockout like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Alex Salmond! |
