Rhodeo trying to control but Bonga is working from the bottom.
Rhodeo landing some decent shots from guard.
Oh Bonga is still in real trouble! Will he be able to recover?!!
Rhodeo loads up on a big left hand. Bonga felt that one! He's just covering up now, not defending himself intelligently - Rhodeo looks towards the ref and unloads with 3 more big shots and the ref has no choice but to stop the fight! Bonga can't hide his disappointment, as Rhodeo celebrates the victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:46 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Dusty Rhodeo!
Dusty Rhodeo is the new light heavyweight champion!
Dusty Rhodeo gave a mention to Fantasy Threads in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
Omar Bonga spoke after the fight, saying 'Today Bonecrusher... he get crushed '.
