Darren breaks the clinch and we're back to striking at distance.
Darren throws a left jab followed by a right to the body, Oh Smith colapses and takes a barrage of punches from Darren as he moves to mount! the ref stops the fight and Smith is left battered and dazed whilst Darren and his camp cheer!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:56 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ali Darren! |
