Tripolini is rocked!
Tripolini misses with a telegraphed body shot
and Stein scores with a counter punch that sends Tripolini to the canvas! Stein smells blood - he's punishing Tripolini with more strikes and the ref has stopped it! Tripolini has no idea where he is - he's tackled the ref... oh dear, poor guy, the crowd is in hysterics!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:17 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Horgen Stein!
Horgen Stein is the new heavyweight champion!
Horgen Stein decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
