He sets himself and throws a perfect high kick, that clips Lindberg just on the top of the head. Lindberg drops like a sack of potatoes to the canvas, out cold! Oooooooh yeah! Stick a fork in Lindberg - he's done!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Jorma Kovanen!
