Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:43 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Harold Howard!
Harold Howard is the new super heavyweight champion!
A relieved looking Harold Howard thanked the fans for their support and gave the usual line about them being amazing. They seemed to believe that he actually meant it.
