That's two minutes gone in the round.
Tu thowing shots but they're missing.
Krynn holding onto his opponent's waist for dear life, as Tu tries to land some strikes to get him to release his grip.
Tu cracks Krynn with a big head shot that has him covering up instantly! He's rolled onto his side and the referee has seen enough - this one is aaaaaaaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:34 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Vit Tu!
Vit Tu managed to slip a mention for his sponsors, Milwaukee's Best 160 (80% laundry), into his post fight interview.
