Witten slips a jab and a cross from Lawler.
Lawler throws an overhand right from the outside, which connects and sends Witten stumbling backwards into the cage! Witten bounces back off the cage towards Lawler, who cracks him with a two punch combination that drops him to his knees! Lawler lands two more shots before the referee has chance to intervene - what a finish! Lawler celebrates with his corner as the crowd cheer loudly.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Bob Lawler!
