The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
James keeps his opponent at a distance with a nice jab.
Sloppy strikes from James. Those never looked like landing.
Lee walks straight into a right hand from James - that's dropped him! James jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Lee from any more punishment! Lee complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
