Walker wasted no time using his long frame to land kicks and straight shots from distance. Hill looked patient, but he seemed to be loading up and just couldn’t get in range of Walker. However, Hill launched a powerful right counter that connected on Walker’s temple. Walker turned into a board and he toppled over like a high-rise apartment building falling to the ground. Hill moved in for one final right hand that put Walker out for good.
Hill followed up his initial strike with yet another right on the mats, forcing the referee to step in to save Walker from a barrage of strikes. The contest was called to a stop barely seconds before the third minute of the first frame.
