A nice elbow there by Crowe.
That's two minutes gone in the round.
Crowe postures up and lands a whopping elbow - oh that's hurt Rad bigstyle! Two more strikes land for Crowe and the fight is over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:25 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Stanton Crowe!
Stanton Crowe is the new heavyweight champion!
Stanton Crowe spent the whole post fight interview bigging himself up. It didn't go down that well with the fans after a while as they thought it was a bit arrogant.
