Zaroni connects with a right hand. Laurez shakes it off.
Oh Laurez is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Zaroni cracks Laurez with a big right hand that sees him stumbling back against the cage! Laurez falls to his knees and Zaroni 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 2:47 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Dave Zaroni! |
