Oooh a big shot gets through from Klopfenstein . Many more shots like that and the referee will have to think about stepping in!
Jeez, Raf Gon DIas's cut is really nasty now. The referee must be thinking about getting that checked.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Raf Gon DIas's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:27 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Ichabod Klopfenstein !
Ichabod Klopfenstein is the new welterweight champion!
