WOW!!! excellent knock out and just on time since he was running almost out of gas. Entertaining fight from two guys that spent a lot of energy. Joe was doing well until he received the unexpected left hand hit which probed to be decisive.
That was a thing of beauty. What was up with the clinch strikes? I thought that they were not allowed.
