Griffin is breathing heavily.
We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up.
Killer plants his feet and throws a brutal three punch combo that sends Griffin swiftly into unconsciousness! Right, left, right! Boom, boom, boom! Griffin face plants, battered and bloodied! He might never be the same again after that finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:47 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Pual Killer!
