Hasselhoff tries to land with a swinging hook to the body but Liddel was well out of range. Poor timing from Hasselhoff.
A slow jab from Liddel misses its intended target.
Liddel drops Hasselhoff with a big left hand! Hasselhoff is injured, injured bad! Liddel jumps in and finished him with strikes! The fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:36 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Tota Liddel!
Tota Liddel is the new middleweight champion!
