Well it looks like Herman is dead set on a KO, because he didn't even attempt to go for anything when he had Starks on his back.

For the nth time this night I'm impressed. I knew what Herman was capable of, but still after the first round I thought he'll either get outpointed for the decision or he'll get TKO'd. Damn, that was good. And another previously undefeated newcomer tastes defeat.
