Morrison is rocked!
Morrison drops his hands for a split second and Malurky immediately capitalizes on the opportunity by smashing a powerful hook into Morrison face, sending his mouthguard sailing through the air, much to the delight of the crowd. Malurky follows up with a right hand that knocks Morrison into next week. He's out cold and this fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:15 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punches). Dan Malurky!
Dan Malurky is the new lightweight champion!
