The ref is looking closely - Goldman is covering up but the punishment is just too much and the ref steps in to stop the fight! Goldman is staring into space, just thankful that the beatdown has ended. Brutal finish.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:33 of round 3, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Don Golf!
Don Golf is the new lightweight champion!
