Buckeye is breathing heavily.
Buckeye takes one on the chin but seems OK.
Benton lands with a hook. Buckeye tried to avoid it but it clipped the top of his head. #T1#
Benton connects with a jab, followed by a picture perfect straight right that sends Buckeye to the canvas, out cold! What a finish by Benton!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:08 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Phil Benton!
