Hole can't quite control the action as he would like just now, as Snowstrinski is looking to escape.
Boooooooooooooooooooo!!! God, this has been a terrible round. Come on you two, sort yourselves out!
Hole takes a little breather and maintains the position. The referee will be looking for him to stay active from such a dominant position though.
And that's the end of the fight!
Hole wins on points by 12 to 4.
Jumping up and down and very excited, Jackson Hole waved his t-shirt featuring The Huntington New Age Wellness Community 's logo in front of the cameras.
Olaf Snowstrinski spoke after the fight, saying 'I like pancakes!'. |
