Hazard working on landing some head shots here - that one got through nicely.
Hazard unloads with a big right hand that wobbles Banner! He's leaning against the cage trying to keep his feet but Hazard is unloading with more strikes now! Banner drops to his knees and the referee stops the fight for a TKO!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:13 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Dick Hazard!
In his post fight interview, Dick Hazard started talking himself up. Luckily his charisma kept the crowd on side and gave him a good reception.
