and Maestro counters with a big right hand! Oh Chas is in trouble here! Maestro follows up with more strikes and that's it! The ref has stopped it!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:16 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Matija Maestro!
A relieved looking Matija Maestro thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
