He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - McRaven looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Packer can't hide his disappointment, as McRaven celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:42 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Alec McRaven!
Alec McRaven is the new featherweight champion!
