Knockdown before a first-round forfeit

Eskimo Dave came out throwing and quickly seized the ring. The red corner landed a flurry of telling head shots that culminated in a knockdown, turning momentum completely his way.

The action never resumed — after the knockdown the guest was disconnected and the contest was ruled a forfeit, handing Eskimo Dave the win in the opening round.

No belt was on the line, but the night belonged to Eskimo Dave: a short, dramatic statement victory that left little doubt who was in control before the bout was called.
