Greenlaw tests Lawrence's chin there with a solid looking shot.
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Greenlaw feints and then winds up with a huge right hand that connects perfectly and sends Lawrence sprawling to the canvas! Lawrence rolls over backwards and springs off the cage and manages to regain his footing - how acrobatic! Oh, he's still wobbly - can Greenlaw finish him?!
Lawrence is rocked!
Greenlaw fires a straight punch through the middle that cracks Lawrence square on the jaw! Damn, Lawrence is out cold on his feet and topples face first to the canvas! Wow, I haven't seen a knockout that brutal in a long time!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:19 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Armando Greenlaw!
Armando Greenlaw seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
In defeat, Jay Lawrence stepped up to the mic, saying 'I had COVID'.
