It really doesn't seem like the step up in weight is hurting Crowe here at all. He's more than holding his own against the bigger man.
Crowe lands with a big left! Henderson is wobbled badly! Crowe comes in with a flurry of punches and drops Henderson to the floor. The ref jumps in to save him from unneccessary punishment.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:24 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Raymond Crowe!
Raymond Crowe retains his heavyweight title!
