Cruz uses some good footwork to avoid the body shot by Farman.
Cruz takes a step towards his opponent and connects with a left hand, before circling away.
Farman is rocked!
That's two minutes gone in the round.
A head kick by Cruz - that's a beauty! Farman is out but he's somehow still standing... he's going... going... gone. Like a drunk walking down the middle of the road, the inevitable face plant follows and the delayed knockout arrives. Even Cruz can't help but laugh at the bizarre end to this one!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:12 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Head Kick). Danny Cruz!
Danny Cruz is the new bantamweight champion!
During a confident post fight interview, Danny Cruz thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
