Hurst wings a very wild body shot but it does the job and lands to the midsection.
Mcdowell is breathing heavily.
This is a great period of action - very entertaining stuff!
Both fighters step back and shake their arms out. Hurst engages and cracks Mcdowell with a massive lead left hook - Mcdowell tumbles to the floor, out cold! What a shot! Hurst is delighted - all that hard work in training paid off!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Maddox Hurst! |
