Summary
Zbikowski was clearly faster than Bell, landing multiple punches to Bell's head and body in the time it took Bell to miss with a single jab. Almost as soon as the opening bell rang, Zbikowski caught Bell in the corner of the ring with a barrage of punches, forcing Bell to his knees. The referee allowed Bell to continue the bout, but Zbikowski only needed to land one more punch, a huge right, that spun Bell around and forced him into the ropes, whereupon the referee stopped the bout. The total elapsed time from the opening bell was 49 seconds.
