Oh Lenol is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Both fighters are absolutely exhausted here.
Walsh darts in and lands a big hook, right on the button! Lenol's legs crumble underneath him as he falls to the canvas! The ref tackles Walsh before he gets to land any more shots to his stricken foe.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Brian Walsh!
Brian Walsh is the new bantamweight champion!
