Nice shot by Poulsen.#CUT#
It looks like Dwayne Howard has been cut.
Poulsen jabs Howard right on the nose. Howard blinks but takes it well.#ROC#
Howard is rocked!
Poulsen dips down and scores with a jab to the body.
Howard is still on wobbly legs! Can Poulsen finish him?
Howard looks winded!
Poulsen 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.
The crowd cheering loudly, showing their appreciation for the quality fight we're seeing here.
Howard walks into a straight right, dropping him to the canvas! Poulsen swarms him and finishes the fight with a hail of punches! What a brutal finish!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Vang Poulsen!
