The fans in attendance giving it up for the two fighters, who have really let it all hang out in the last minute or so!
Klice cracks Brown with a left hook right on the temple and Brown goes down! He's out! Referee! Stop the fight! Klice lands a few more punches before the dopey ref steps in - hopefully Brown is OK!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:13 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Simbo Klice!
Simbo Klice retains his heavyweight title!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Simbo Klice made sure he mentioned Hellraiser FightGear, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
