Poor Phil Hawes...

... the guy seems to be forming a habit of starting off strong, looking fantastic, and then falling victim to an absolutely catastrophic shot.

Hawes needs to never fight again, not even in the streets, I'm confident that a toddler can KO him.

Hawes was already hurt badly before he got the KO. Aliskerov saw it, which is why he threw so many strikes in succession right away. Dude is a problem. Hawes really, really needs to work on his striking defence.
