They're showing the replay on the big screens now; that was nasty! I hope one of the photographers got a good shot of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:20 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Jack Hoffman!
A loyal slave to those sponsorship dollars, Jack Hoffman made sure he mentioned Arcticus University: London, along with how happy he was to win his fight.
In defeat, Evil Kullervo stepped up to the mic, saying 'I think my heart is broken.'.
