Ribbler working Pilkington over with strikes here.
Ribbler postures up and throws a couple of big shots that have Pilkington in real trouble here! The ref calls for Pilkington to improve his position which he doesn't do, so the referee has no choice but to end the fight due to the strikes!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:50 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ibbe Ribbler!
Ibbe Ribbler is the new lightweight champion!
