BOOM! Kartella connects with a massive shot to the dome!
A big strike lands for Kartella! That's really hurt Altreto and he's turned his back - Kartella keeps firing away and the ref dives in to stop the fight! Kartella jumps to his feet to celebrate the victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Drake Kartella!
Drake Kartella seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
