#R1# Savage will need to tighten up his combinations if he doesn't want to gas himself out, swinging at thin air.
A big left from Savage misses. Savage takes an uppercut right on the jaw but it doesn't phase him. The crowd cheers as Barra lands an impressive looking overhand right. Savage doesn't seem phased though. Barra darts in and out, connecting with a jab. Savage is trying hard to land a takedown here. Barra sprawls well and keeps this one on the feet. We've had a slow start to the round here - hopefully the action picks up. Savage walks straight into a jab right on the nose. That one stung - he's blinking and trying to clear his head. Barra lands a vicious shot with the stealth of a sniper and the strength of a viper. Are vipers that strong? I can think of lots of things that are stronger than a viper - not many rhyme with sniper though.
Barra clobbers Savage with an overhand right that has the crowd gasping. That made a horrendous noise. #T1# Barra lands with an uppercut that bounces Savage off the cage and back into range. Savage takes a hook to the side of the head. I wonder if that's got his ears ringing.
Barra's coach down at The Factory was telling us pre-fight that they have been working on Barra's balance. Obviously they view that as a key factor in the outcome of this fight. Savage misses with a jab and misses with a cross straight after too.
Nice cross by Barra. Savage looks shocked there as he takes a right hand to the temple. Pasquale Barra is looking to keep the fight on the feet at all costs. Barra cracks Savage with a hook to the jaw. Both fighters smile at eachother and high-five before getting back down to business. A lazy body kick from Savage and Barra counters with a good right hand that lands right on the jaw.#ROC2# Savage is rocked! Savage shoots in but doesn't get the takedown and Barra makes him pay by landing a nice hook to the body before moving out of range. The crowd cheers as Barra lands an impressive looking overhand right. Savage doesn't seem phased though. Oh Savage is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!#T2# We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out! Barra knocks out Savage with a massive right hand! The ref tackles Barra before he can follow up with any more strikes and that's it everyone. Barra picks up the big W with a huge KO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:12 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Pasquale Barra! Pasquale Barra is the new light heavyweight champion! Pasquale Barra tried to hype himself up post fight but didn't word it too well and it ended up with him sounding like a bit of a tool.
