Fulcher's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Fulcher 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 0:24 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Mat Lloyd!
