The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Smith scores with a jab to the jaw of his opponent.
It looks like James Arthur has been cut. Smith misses with a jab, cross combination.
Arthur really does look like a pencil wearing a pair of gloves. Let's hope he has a gameplan to suit that ridiculous body shape. Smith avoids the clinch attempt nicely.
Smith works over Arthur's head and body with a nice combination. Arthur shoots in for a double leg but Smith sprawls well. That's going to sap some energy. Smith throws a 1-2 combo that connects squarely on Arthur's jaw, knocking him onto his back! Smith dives in looking to finish as Arthur flails his arms in a desperate attempt to block Smith's strikes! Smith is raining down hammerfists and the ref stops it! Arthur's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Arthur was definitely hurt and the ref saved him from taking unnecessary punishment. A fighter's safety is paramount in this sport.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:18 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Rangi Smith!
