Bout Summary

The first half of the opening round saw both fighters very tentative and throwing infrequently. A straight right hand slipped through Litzau's guard in the final minute and caught him flush on the chin. Broner came forward and threw a barrage that knocked out Litzau's mouthpiece, sent him down and halfway out of the ring. At that time, the referee immediately waved an end to the bout.
