Young is still in real trouble! Can Daebyeol finish him?
Daebyeol looks towards his corner to check for any instructions. The corner give him nothing to work with, so he cracks Young with a short hammerfist. I guess that's as good as any advice he could get in this position.
Daebyeol is sitting in half guard. He's postured up and lands a nice elbow. Oh, Young is hurt! He's hurt bad - Daebyeol fires away with more strikes and the referee jumps in to save Young from any more punishment! Congratulations to Daebyeol! Great finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:30 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Kim Rhee Daebyeol!
