Well, the break between rounds is over. Let's get back to the scrappin!
#R2##TD2#
John closes the distance and looks for a trip takedown... aaaand he's got it - John lands in his opponent's guard.#ROC2#
Boyd is rocked!
John is just sitting in guard, looking to avoid any submissions.
Oh Boyd is still in real trouble! Will he be able to recover?!!#SUB2#
John drops back for a leg! It's a sloppy attempt though and John jumps back into guard quickly, to retain the dominant position.
John arches his back and unloads with a massive left and a right! Boyd's eyes roll back into his head, he's out cold! The ref dives in to stop the fight - wow, they were hard shots!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:35 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). William John!
