Haapana lands an uppercut in the clinch that drops Jones to his knees! Haapana keeps firing more shots against his stricken opponent and the referee jumps in to save him!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Hannu Haapana!
Hannu Haapana bigged himself up after the win. The crowd seemed to love it.
