Sweeney is using his reach advantage well here, landing the more effective single shots from range.
Some wild striking there from Skaar.
Sweeney batters Skaar with a massive right followed by a huge left! Skaar is out on his feet looking like a zombie as Sweeney lands a final crushing right hand to drop Skaar to the mat with a gruesome thud! Sweeney is running around like a mad man after that fight and for good reason!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:39 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Strikes). Dalton Sweeney!
Dalton Sweeney is the new super heavyweight champion!
