Flynn moves forwards but Sigthordisson connects with a nice, crisp jab.#T4#
The crowd are loving this. Great action here.
A jab from Flynn does it's job there.
A head kick by Sigthordisson misses
and Flynn counters with a huge uppercut, hook combination that drops Sigthordisson! The ref has seen enough - he's dived in to stop the fight! Brutal strikes by Flynn!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:15 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). James Flynn!
