The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Johnson swings wildly with a couple of big hooks
and Lang counters with a series of strikes that practically lifts Johnson off his feet! He tumbles backwards, his head bouncing off the mat - Lang follows up with more strikes before the ref can step in but Johnson was out before he hit the floor.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:05 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Clubber Lang!
