Esch is leaning against Gus and scores with a nice uppercut to the body.
Gus looks winded!
Esch creates a bit of space for himself and unleashed what can only be described as a tiger uppercut, straight out of Street Fighter! Gus crashes to the mat! Can he make it back to his feet in time? 3,4,5, yes, he's made it back to his feet. He seems OK so it looks like we're going to continue!
Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd.
BAM! Esch delivers a spinning backfist that drops Gus like a ragdoll! This is all oooooveeeer! He was out before he hit the ground!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Spinning Backfist). Eric Esch!
