This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Maxwell lands a big knee to the head and Lei goes down! Maxwell pounces and finishes the fight with strikes! He jumps to his feet and celebrates with the crowd!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:47 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Klinx Maxwell!
