Woosier looks winded!

Markowski drops Woosier with a hook right on the temple. He thinks about going to the ground but Woosier looks back up at him and smiles so Markowski waves him back to his feet - he obviously thinks he can knock him out after that shot landed.

Woosier is rocked!
A head kick by Markowski - that's a beauty! Woosier is out but he's somehow still standing... he's going... going... gone.
