Nazirite throws a jab when Du Toit was well out of range.
Du Toit's coach down at Animal House was telling us pre-fight that they have been working on Du Toit's balance. Obviously they view that as a key factor in the outcome of this fight.
Nazirite sees an opening and throws a straight punch right through Du Toit's defenses. It connects perfectly with Du Toit's jaw and knocks him out cold! Wow - that's a contender for knockout of the year - absolutely brutal!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Samson Nazirite!
