Cosmo throws out a powerful jab.
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Cosmo closes the distance and lands a vicious right hand that drops Papas! Cosmo dives in looking to finish! Papas is still trying to defend himself but he's taking too many shots and the referee has no choice but to stop the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:38 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Hans Cosmo! |
