A decent looking body kick lands there for Dantes.
Hollow gets clipped by a big right hand and goes down spinning to the canvas! Dantes gets the back mount and begins to drop bombs on his rocked foe! Hollow is too out of it to defend against the strikes and the referee jumps in to save him from the beatdown!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:30 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Marcus Dantes!
Marcus Dantes retains his heavyweight title!
An out of breath and clearly excited Marcus Dantes thanked Executioner $20 4 sale for their help and support (and free stuff they sent him).
