Brah takes one to the side of the head.
Lang scores with a crisp jab that stopped Brah in his tracks. #ROC#Brah is rocked!
Lang will need to tighten up his combinations if he doesn't want to gas himself out, swinging at thin air.
Brah is still on wobbly legs! Can Lang finish him?
Brah walks straight into a right hand from Lang - that's dropped him! Lang jumps into mount and starts pounding away - can he finish?! More strikes go undefended and the referee has to dive in to save Brah from any more punishment! Brah 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 0:28 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Punches). Clubber Lang!
