Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Holgerson gets cracked there but stands up to it.
Ro connects with a combination that backs up Holgerson into the cage. Ro lands a flurry of punches that gets past Holgerson's guard. Holgerson is down and the referee has seen enough. It is all over! Ro bursts into tears - this win obviously means a huge amount to him.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Pate Ro! |
