It didn’t take long for bacon to stamp his authority on this one. From the opening bell he dictated the pace, landing a steady mix of head and body blows that put him clearly in control of the center of the ring.

Guest E01E answered when he could, but bacon’s pressure and accuracy kept the momentum one-sided. The bout came to an abrupt end in the first when Guest E01E forfeited via disconnect, leaving bacon the winner without the full fight playing out.

No title was at stake, but bacon leaves the ring with the win and the kind of quick, decisive showing that makes a statement on any night.
