Fannigan goes for a small jab and connects. Now Fannigan goes in closer pressing the issue. Left hook, right straight! Ronaldo stumbles back but Fannigan runs in with a huge uppercut knocking Ronaldo to the ground! What a finish! You have to wonder if Ronaldo will ever be the same after a knockout like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:09 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Marcus Fannigan !
