Oh Bulger is still all over the place! His legs are completely gone! Will he be able to recover?!!
Bulger misses with a jab to the body
and Isley counters with a crisp right that sends Bulger to the canvas! Isley follows up with punches from the mount and this one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:47 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Paul Isley!
Paul Isley is the new heavyweight champion!
Paul Isley managed to slip a mention for his sponsors, Underworld Clothing, into his post fight interview.
John Bulger was interviewed post fight and said 'Ill be back.'.
