Stampfer drops Polidori with a beautiful combination! Polidori stares up at his opponent, who ushers him back to his feet - Stampfer is looking for the KO!
Polidori throws a wild combination but nothing lands.
Stampfer lunges in with a left hook that violently twists Polidori head around and knocks him out cold! Stampfer hops onto the cage and yells out at the top of his lungs - Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah! They're showing the replay on the big screens now; that was nasty! I hope one of the photographers got a good shot of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:33 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Paul Stampfer!
