and Lopez counters with a left and a right... And another left! Creed is down! He's done! The ref dives in to save him and that's the end of the fight!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:57 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Carlos Lopez!
Our winner, Carlos Lopez, made sure he spent some time buttering up the crowd during his post fight interview, which will no doubt bring him a few more fans.
