Sweeney drops Brown with a straight left! Oh this is bad for Brown! Sweeney dives in and starts dropping bombs - the referee has no choice but to step in and save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:49 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Declan Sweeney!
Declan Sweeney is the new super heavyweight champion!
A very excited looking Declan Sweeney rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
