Wyatt lands a lovely overhand right.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Shane Carmen's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:42 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Derp Wyatt!
Derp Wyatt decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well.
