The fighters are playing wrist control here with Chang pressed against the ropes. Adofo frees himself up and cracks Chang with an uppercut straight from the bowels of hell! Chang crumples to the floor, out cold! Adofo jumps on to the ropes and takes in the roar of the crowd! That was nasty!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:22 of round 3, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Yanga Adofo!
Yanga Adofo seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
