Chosokabe looks winded!
Adams grits his teeth and throws a big right-left combo! Chosokabe takes both shots clean on the chin and is out cold! Adams cracks him once more on his way down, as the crowd goes wild! They enjoyed that one!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:53 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Brick Adams! |
