The pace slowing considerably in the clinch, as Smoker takes a break from that fighting nonsense to think about the finer things in life.
With the fighters clinched against the cage, Smoker creates a bit of distance for himself and scores with a nice uppercut.
Smoker unloads with a big right hand that wobbles Keen! He's leaning against the cage trying to keep his feet but Smoker is unloading with more strikes now! Keen drops to his knees and the referee stops the fight for a TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:33 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Joint Smoker! |
