Good shot there by Booker.#KD#
Johnson lands a big uppercut and Booker crumbles to the floor! The ref thinks about stopping the fight but Booker looks OK. Johnson waves Booker back to his feet!#ROC#Booker is rocked!
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
Johnson cracks Booker with a big right hand that sees him stumbling back against the cage! Booker falls to his knees and Johnson doesn't need a second invitatation - he rushes in and fires off several unanswered shots that force the referee to stop the fight! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:42 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Fedor Johnson! |
