That's four minutes gone in the round.
Mood lands a nice uppercut.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Zoey Malone Jr's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:13 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Mellow Mood!
Mellow Mood is the new heavyweight champion!
Zoey Malone Jr was interviewed post fight and said 'Shit!'.
