Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:11 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Crotch Grabber!
Crotch Grabber is the new heavyweight champion!
Crotch Grabber very nearly forgot to thank UnderGround Clothing Co. amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
