Smirnov looks up at the clock and then as Carlson takes his cue and looks up at the clock too, Smirnov smacks him right in the chops with a big elbow! How rude!
#T1#
Smirnov lands a strong strike to the head of Carlson. That's dazed him! Smirnov looking to finish here. Carlson is waving his arms around trying to block but he's hurt badly - Smirnov lands more strikes and the referee steps in to end the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:23 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Sergei Smirnov!
