Battle lands a jab, followed by a cross and another cross, as Flipper backs up against the cage.
Battle keeps the fight standing with a nice sprawl.
Flipper walks straight into a right hand from Battle - that's dropped him! Battle jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Flipper from any more punishment! Flipper complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Dre Battle!
Dre Battle decided to go for the less than humble approach in his post fight interview, telling everyone how he is going to conquer the world. The crowd seemed to like it when really that sort of approach could have gone either way.
