Lester creates a bit of space for himself and rocks Varvaskoukku with a big uppercut! Varvaskoukku tries to clinch up but Lester pushes him back against the cage and lands another monster strike that crumples Varvaskoukku to the mat! Varvaskoukku covers up and Lester unloads with more strikes until the referee steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:19 of round 2, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Moe Lester!
After winning the bout, Moe Lester thanked all his fans and promised he'd do even better in his next fight. The crowd seemed to love his humility.
