Tassen is rocked!
Wooooo! Give it up for these two warriors! They are putting on a show!
Experiment V moves in close and cracks Tassen with a massive right hand! Tassen, frozen momentarily in time, tumbles to the canvas, already out cold! A brutal knockout by Experiment V!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 5:01 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Russian Experiment V!
Russian Experiment V is the new featherweight champion!
