and Martin counters with a series of strikes that practically lifts Lynn off his feet! He tumbles backwards, his head bouncing off the mat - Martin follows up with more strikes before the ref can step in but Lynn was out before he hit the floor.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:45 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Carter Martin!

In defeat, Keiko Lynn stepped up to the mic, saying 'I want to apologize to all my fans! I went to the strip club last night and I still have a f*****g hangover...plus...My huge penis threw me off balance a few times during the fight, I may tape it to my leg next fight.'.
