The fighters' corners scream their final instructions, as the referee calls time. Here we go, back to the action!#R2#
Chima leaves his chin hanging out and Weathers seizes the opportunity with an uppercut! Chima crumbles to the floor in a heap! The referee steps in and tends to the downed fighter! What a knockout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:05 of round 2, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). October Weathers!
A less than humble October Weathers misjudged his post fight interview somewhat and came across a little too arrogant whilst trying to hype up his own abilities. |
