Carlitto walks forward and throws a big overhand right! Savant drops to the floor like a sack of potatoes! Carlitto swarms on him with more punches until the referee wrestles him away from Savant's unconscious body! Wow, that was brutal!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Diego Carlitto!
Jumping up and down and very excited, Diego Carlitto waved his t-shirt featuring Evil Empire Nutrition - 151Q $100's logo in front of the cameras.
