In the early moments of the fight, Flynn came in at Langford with his head down way in front, with his gloves high. Flynn did some effective work to the body. Langford attempted to counter this with right hands to Flynn's ear, which missed.

Finally, two minutes into the round, Langford stepped back from a Flynn charge and shot a right hand to Flynn's jaw. Flynn staggered back, and Langford went after him and landed a left hook that put Flynn down for the count.
