Oh Askren is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
That's one minute gone in the round.
Jones Jr moves in close and cracks Askren with a massive right hand! Askren, frozen momentarily in time, tumbles to the canvas, already out cold! A brutal knockout by Jones Jr!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:07 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Roy Jones Jr!
Roy Jones Jr is the new light heavyweight champion!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Roy Jones Jr made sure he mentioned Torment Fightwear, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
