Lyttle feints the counter takedown. Lyttle goes to the watering hole and comes back with a big thumbs up from the judges as he scores a three punch combo.#ROC2# Harmon is rocked! Lyttle throws a 1-2 combo that connects squarely on Harmon's jaw, knocking him onto his back! Lyttle dives in looking to finish as Harmon flails his arms in a desperate attempt to block Lyttle's strikes! Lyttle is raining down hammerfists and the ref stops it! Harmon's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Harmon was definitely hurt and the ref saved him from taking unnecessary punishment. A fighter's safety is paramount in this sport.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Jamal Lyttle!
