The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Fretwell scores with a sloppy punch to the body. Not much technique there but it did the business.
Nice sprawl there from Jones as Fretwell shoots in.
Jones gets in close and tags Fretwell with a short punch that almost sends Fretwell to the mat! Oh Fretwell is in big trouble! He turns his back on Jones, trying to create some distance but Jones rushes him, striking wildly and Fretwell goes down! The referee tackles Jones into the cage to end the fight! Jones is one violent man!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:10 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Tom Jones!
Tom Jones is the new light heavyweight champion!
Our winner, Tom Jones, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
