Childs is rocked!
McCoy with a body punch. A glancing blow.
Oh Childs is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
McCoy lands with a big right hook that stumbles Childs - he's out on his feet here! McCoy follows up with another monster hook that separates Childs from consciousness! Childs falls, almost in slow motion to the canvas! McCoy stands and admires his work as the crowd go wild.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:48 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Jay McCoy!
Jay McCoy is the new featherweight champion!
