Jab, jab by Fujimoto - just one landing. #ROC2#
Clarko is rocked!
Clarko blocks a head kick by Fujimoto.
Oh Clarko is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Both fighters circle each other, looking for something big. Fujimoto moves in and throws an overhand right. That hurt Clarko! Fujimoto continues to tee off on Clarko, landing with a left and a right! Fujimoto connects with a right hand that leaves Clarko sleeping against the cage! What a finish by Fujimoto!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:30 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Kichiro Fujimoto!
