Crusher is rocked!
We've seen a great period of action over the last minute or so - credit to both fighters for going all out!
Head throws a pinpoint strike between Crusher's hands that connects right on the jaw and sends Crusher crashing to the floor! He's out before he even hits the mat and Head scores a great knockout victory!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:35 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Crack Head!
Crack Head took some time post fight to say the following; 'I eat enemy placenta for breakfast'.
