Ladies and gentlemen. This fight is 3 rounds, in the light heavyweight division. Introducing the fighter to my left, fighting out of the red corner. With a record of
7 - 1 - 0, fighting out of Los Angeles, Matti Wanhanen! And introducing the fighter to my right, fighting out of the blue corner. With a record of
8 - 4 - 0, fighting out of Los Angeles, Gary Hayes! The judges for this bout are Timothy Bukovac, and Jack Bonds.
The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Hayes takes a jab on the nose there. A little bit of blood seems to be coming out. Hopefully that won't affect his breathing.
It looks like Gary Hayes has been cut. Nice body punch from Wanhanen. Wanhanen avoids a lazy jab quite easily. Hayes blocks a jab. Wanhanen drops Hayes with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Hayes looks back up at him and smiles so Wanhanen waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here. Wanhanen throws a body punch but Hayes moves out of range. Hayes looks to land a left hand but Wanhanen moved out of range nicely. Wanhanen lands a vicious shot with the stealth of a sniper and the strength of a viper. Are vipers that strong? I can think of lots of things that are stronger than a viper - not many rhyme with sniper though.
Hayes is rocked! Wanhanen sees an opening and throws a straight punch right through Hayes's defenses. It connects perfectly with Hayes's jaw and knocks him out cold! Wow - that's a contender for knockout of the year - absolutely brutal!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:22 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Matti Wanhanen!
