A body shot lands from Takeda.
Takeda lands a left hand.
Lamont goes for a takedown attempt but Takeda pushes him away and we're back to fighting at a distance.
Both fighters are absolutely exhausted here.
Lamont walks straight into a jab right on the nose. That one stung - he's blinking and trying to clear his head.#T2#
Takeda cracks Lamont's jaw with two stiff jabs then ducks low and throws a soul-severing right uppercut to the mouth!! Lamont slumps to the ground with blood on his lips. The referee steps in before Takeda can do further damage! This one is done, son!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:13 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Genyo Takeda!
Genyo Takeda decided to thank the fans in attendance for making a great atmosphere. It seemed to go down pretty well. |
