Kruger sitting in guard doing not very much at all here. Bawls doesn't need a second invitation though! He's locked up a guillotine and he's squeezing tight! That is tiiiiiiiiight! Kruger paying the price for stalling here - he's pushing hard on the arm trying to free himself but it's no use! He's tapped! WOW, quick submission from Bawls - great work!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 4:58 of round 2, we have a winner by way of Submission (Guillotine). Auld Bawls!
Auld Bawls is the new heavyweight champion!
During a confident post fight interview, Auld Bawls thanked all his fans. He seemed very genuine when describing how motivated his fans keep him.
The defeated Spraynard Kruger had this to say: 'Where's my chippy?'.
