The Kid complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:55 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Tony Lamotta!
Tony Lamotta is the new middleweight champion!
Tony Lamotta took to the microphone after his victory and thanked his sponsors, Hell's Balls Recovery (160) for their support in the buildup to the fight.
