Popper gets clipped by a big right hand and goes down spinning to the canvas! Keene gets the back mount and begins to drop bombs on his rocked foe! Popper is too out of it to defend against the strikes and the referee jumps in to save him from the beatdown!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:15 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Scott Keene! Our winner, Scott Keene, 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. Bung Popper spoke after the fight, saying 'I could of won....but he tasted so good I could not concentrate on the fight...'.
