Yin needs to keep his hands up - Slade had a free shot at his head there.
Yin is rocked!
Slade fires a straight punch through the middle that cracks Yin square on the jaw! Damn, Yin is out cold on his feet and topples face first to the canvas! Wow, I haven't seen a knockout that brutal in a long time!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:53 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Riessig Slade!
Riessig Slade retains his light heavyweight title!
