![](https://www.mmatycoon.com/images/fight/round1.jpg) The bell rings for round one and we are underway! Horrible takedown by Mandric or perhaps it was just good defense by Valuev which made him look bad. Mandric takes a jab on the nose there. A little bit of blood seems to be coming out. Hopefully that won't affect his breathing.

Mandric is rocked! Fantastic stuff here - a very entertaining period of action, which has drawn cheers from the crowd. Valuev dances in with a quick combination. Mandric is being worked over with jabs and crosses. Oooh, a right straight from Valuev snaps Mandric's head back. Mandric stumbles backwards against the cage. Valuev steps forward and delivers a right cross that connects with Mandric's jaw, simultaneously knocking him out and sending his mouthpiece into the crowd! There's a worthy souvenir for the fans. This one is over folks. Mandric just didn't come prepared.
