Barbosa closes the distance and lands a vicious right hand that drops Dali! Barbosa dives in looking to finish! Dali is still trying to defend himself but he's taking too many shots and the referee has no choice but to stop the fight!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 3:59 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Antonio Barbosa!
Our winner, Antonio Barbosa, 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.
