Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Voisine cracks TW with a hook to the temple - TW is on wobbly legs here! Voisine swarms him with hook after hook, landing with each one! TW falls to the canvas face first and the referee dives in to stop the fight! Voisine wins by TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:41 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Raoul Voisine!
