Olah feints a jab and as Toole dips his head, Olah unleashes a brutal head kick that catches Toole right on the jaw! Timbeeer! Toole falls backwards in slow motion, only propped up by the cage! Olah smiles a psychotic smile as he stares down his unconscious opponent. That is a scary man.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Halo Olah!
Halo Olah made sure to mention his sponsor, HGH Nutrients Q160 Tycoons Best Quality supps in his post fight interview.
