The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
Leighton glances at the clock... BAM! Laake nails him with a big right hand! A momentary lapse in concentration sends Leighton crashing to the mat! The referee steps in and this one is over! Damn, Leighton is out of it, he thinks the ref is his opponent!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Yngve Laake!
Yngve Laake very nearly forgot to thank Brooklyn Threads 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.
