Oki Zuki is looking to keep the fight on the feet at all costs.
Zuki cracks Geri on the jaw with a powerful right hand and Geri falls backwards against the ropes. Zuki follows up with more strikes that drop Geri to his knees. Zuki keeps the pressure on and the referee jumps in to save Geri! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:54 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Oki Zuki !
After the big win, Oki Zuki made sure to do all the important stuff like thanking his sponsors Champion Apparel and telling the interviewer how much he loves him.
