That's four minutes gone in the round.
LaMotta looking for a triangle here. Cpw is fighting it but it looks tight! LaMotta pulls the arm across and this one won't last much longer! Nope, Cpw is tapping out - this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:21 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Jake LaMotta!
Jake LaMotta is the new featherweight champion!
