Castro connects with a body shot that sends Diggler's belly button to the back.
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Castro connects with a left and a right that sees a clearly hurt Diggler covering up! Castro comes in with a big uppercut and Diggler goes doooown! He's slumped up against the cage, eyes staring blankly into space.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:31 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Boss Castro!
