Oh Berglund is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Berglund is breathing heavily.
Saranapuolella drops Berglund with a straight left! Oh this is bad for Berglund! Saranapuolella dives in and starts dropping bombs - the referee has no choice but to step in and save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:13 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (strikes). Ripa Saranapuolella!
Ripa Saranapuolella is the new light heavyweight champion!
