Ryokale cracks Takeishi with a nice right hand that draws applause from the crowd.#ROC#Takeishi is rocked! Ryokale is looking to clinch but Takeishi is avoiding it.
Takeishi is still on wobbly legs! Can Ryokale finish him? A thudding body kick lands there by Ryokale!
Ryokale circles and sees the opportunity to plant his feet and throw a really nice straight left hand that drops Takeishi to the canvas! Takeishi doesn't know where he is but he's trying to survive - Ryokale keeps piling on the pressure and forces the referee to step in! This one is aaaaaall over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Rudo Ryokale! |
