Yo Ayo is rocked!#CUT#
The cut above Yo Yo Ayo's eye is starting to cause him problems now.
The referee calls the doctor in to look at Yo Yo Ayo's cut. Oh no, the doctor has called an end to the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Cut). Steve Hibernaugh!
