Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd. McMurray tries to clinch but is not successful on this occasion. Halo darts in and out, connecting with a jab. McMurray takes a push kick to the midsection and stumbles backwards. Halo throws a head kick that looked like it stung.
#CUT# It looks like Lewis McMurray has been cut. McMurray misses with a wild body shot. McMurray gets caught by a big overhand right and goes down! Halo gets on top of him and starts throwing some serious punches until the ref intervenes and stops the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ziba Halo! Ziba Halo thanked the fans post fight for their support.
