A jab from Grundy misses.
Pavement loads up on a big right hand but Grundy slips the punch.
Max Pavement seems to be the more aggressive standup fighter in this bout.
That's one minute gone in the round.
Grundy drops Pavement with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Pavement looks back up at him and smiles so Grundy waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.
Pavement is rocked!
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Pavement walks into a picture perfect straight right hand from Grundy! He's gone down face first to the canvas, unconscious before he even hit the floor! Ohhhh. My. Goodness! That boys and girls was a beautiful knockout! Give that man a biscuit!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:13 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Solomon Grundy!
