The bell rings for round one and we are underway!
Si throws a 1-2 combo that connects squarely on Medvedev's jaw, knocking him onto his back! Si dives in looking to finish as Medvedev flails his arms in a desperate attempt to block Si's strikes! Si is raining down hammerfists and the ref stops it! Medvedev's desperate flailing just didn't constitute intelligent defence. Some people will probably question the ref's decision but Medvedev was definitely hurt and the ref saved him from taking unnecessary punishment. A fighter's safety is paramount in this sport.
