Marston rushes Gomez with punches - Gomez moves straight backwards instead of circling and gets clipped by the second strike... and the third... and the fourth! Oh, Gomez goes down! Marston follows up with more strikes and the ref steps in to end the bout!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:08 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Lucas Marston!
Lucas Marston very nearly forgot to thank Sun-Tzu amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
Osvaldo Gomez was interviewed post fight and said 'Win or lose he hits like a bitch'.
