Savage lands a beauty of a right hand that gets the crowd cheering.
 Eh is rocked!
Savage throws an uppercut from hell that sends Eh clean off his feet! He's out cold! Savage stands back and admires his work as he thinks about that KO of the night award that is surely being wrapped up for him back stage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:33 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). The Royal Savage!
The Royal Savage retains his lightweight title!
During a confident post fight interview, The Royal Savage thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
