Fight Summary
The fight proved to be remarkably short and explosive.
Round 1
Both fighters adopted an orthodox stance to begin. After touching gloves, Hall immediately landed a powerful right hand that visibly stunned Pudzianowski. Hall quickly followed up, moving in to capitalize on his advantage. Pudzianowski attempted to secure a takedown, but Hall defended successfully and maintained control.
With Pudzianowski in a defensive position on the ground, Hall delivered a series of strikes, prompting the referee to swiftly halt the contest, declaring Eddie Hall the winner via stoppage.
Aftermath
The decisive moment came early when Pudzianowski was clearly hurt by Hall`s initial punch, a right cross that connected with his temple. Hall`s aggressive follow-up prevented Pudzianowski from recovering, leading to the rapid conclusion of the fight. The bout lasted approximately 25 seconds and was described as both surprising and entertaining by observers. Pudzianowski is 48 years old, which some commentators noted might have played a role in his ability to withstand the early impact and recover.
