Deeds escapes the clinch and we're back to striking.
Zaire misses with a double jab.
Zaire lets his hands go wild with a nice combination. Left! Right! Uppercut! Spinning backfist! Deeds goes down and covers up as Zaire starts wailing on him! The ref watches the action closely before stepping in and putting a stop to the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:34 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Abdullah Zaire!
