Innouhe backing away here, and Kovaci unleashes a leg kick that just misses.
Crack! Innouhe connects with the perfect overhand right and Kovaci falls face first to the canvas. Timbeeeeeeeer! Beautiful knockout for Innouhe!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 0:30 of round 1, we have a winner by way of KO (Punch). Izzy Innouhe! |
