Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5,6... it doesn't look like he's going to make it! Levin face plants back to the mat and the referee calls off the fight! Gallegos takes it with a brutal technical knockout!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:49 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punch). Ramon Gallegos!
A less than humble Ramon Gallegos misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities.
