Dawson tries to land with a swinging hook to the body but Turkey was well out of range. Poor timing from Dawson. Turkey cracks Dawson with a hook to the temple - Dawson is on wobbly legs here! Turkey swarms him with hook after hook, landing with each one! Dawson falls to the canvas face first and the referee dives in to stop the fight! Turkey wins by TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Wild Turkey ! Wild Turkey got down on his knees post fight and begged the management for a title shot. 'Please, I want that title shot so bad! Give it to me!'
