Rage gets caught by a brutal right hook which buckles his knees! Rage tries to backpedal with his spaghettilegs but Halftard is headhunting and goes for the kill. A jab and a right hook connect and Rage buckles badly as his eyes roll back. The referee steps in and saves Rage!! Rage is complaining but he was clearly out on his feet. Halftard throws his mouthpiece into the crowd. Mmmm spit-tastic.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:32 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Gary Halftard!
