Bond is breathing heavily.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for leaving it all in the cage!
Potku cracks Bond with a big right hand that sees him stumbling back against the cage! Bond falls to his knees and Potku doesn't need a second invitatation - he rushes in and fires off several unanswered shots that force the referee to stop the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:54 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ala Potku!
Ala Potku is the new middleweight champion!
