The way this heavyweight bout kicked off, it seemed like it was going to be a slow paced fight. But Drago picked up the pace in the second half of the opening round as he put Lewis in tight spots with his crisp striking. Numerous times Lewis was backed up to the cage turtling up trying to survive the barrage of punches. It as clear Drago’s reach and striking is no match for Lewis. The Black Beast was only looking for that one big shot and he did make it clear with some desperate attempts. Drago began to show signs of confidence as he put Lewis backed up to the cage again. But in the final round, Lewis delivered the BIG KABOSHHH landed right on the button as Drago dropped his hands low and was attempting a knee. He was down on the mat and out cold with the follow up punches. With this win, Lewis ties 4th most wins in the heavyweight with 12 wins and makes a clear statement…Don’t count the black beast out!
