The two fighters exchange a few words. I couldn't hear what they were saying but maybe it's more fun if you make it up yourself. Judd connects with a nice short shot to Moribe's temple.
Moribe is rocked!
Judd is scoring with some nice ground and pound from the dominant position.
Moribe is still in real trouble! Can Judd finish him?
Judd is sitting in half guard. He's postured up and lands a nice elbow. Oh, Moribe is hurt! He's hurt bad - Judd fires away with more strikes and the referee jumps in to save Moribe from any more punishment! Congratulations to Judd! Great finish!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:56 of round 4, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Eugene Judd!
Eugene Judd retains his bantamweight title!
Eugene Judd seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.
