More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Hellscream from any more punishment! Hellscream 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 2:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Drille Nissen!
