Klaw keeps his opponent at a distance with a nice jab.
Klaw throws a 1-2 combo that connects squarely on Williams's jaw, knocking him onto his back! Klaw dives in looking to finish as Williams flails his arms in a desperate attempt to block Klaw's strikes! Klaw is raining down hammerfists and the ref stops it! Williams's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Williams was definitely hurt and the ref saved him from taking unnecessary punishment. A fighter's safety is paramount in this sport.
