Plant throws a head punch that misses.
Claw lands an uppercut in the clinch that drops Plant to his knees! Claw keeps firing more shots against his stricken opponent and the referee jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Jiu Claw!
An out of breath Jiu Claw thanked his loyal fans in his post fight interview, giving them credit for his success over the course of his career.
