Kravichenko lands a nice looking body shot.
Kravichenko scores with a punch to the gut of his opponent.
Rocco on the wrong end of a nice hook.#ROC#
Rocco is rocked!
Rocco shakes his hands off, looking to compose himself, but takes a jab to the jaw whilst he does it.
Rocco is still on wobbly legs! Can Kravichenko finish him?
Rocco walks straight into a right hand from Kravichenko - that's dropped him! Kravichenko jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Rocco from any more punishment! Rocco complains about the stoppage but falls over as he tries to stand back up, so it was clearly a good stoppage.
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:31 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Oleg Kravichenko!
Our winner, Oleg Kravichenko, 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.
