Day walks straight into an uppercut. Luckily it didn't land flush.#ROC#Day is rocked!
Water fakes the leg kick and throws a superman punch. It's knocked Day out cold! Brutal finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:37 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Superman Punch). Hot Water!
Hot Water seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website. |
