That's two minutes gone in the round. Hrdlica scores with a jab to the jaw.
Luke is rocked! Wilfrid Luke is looking to throw some combinations by the looks of things. Luke walks straight into a right hand from Hrdlica - that's dropped him! Hrdlica jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Luke from any more punishment! Luke complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:17 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Petr Hrdlica!
