Fight recap:
The punch totals tell the story of this fight. O’Brien landed almost four times as many punches as did Choynski. The bottom line was that Choynski couldn’t hit the elusive O’Brien. Choynski only landed 9.5% of his punches. Choynski won the first round, but that was pretty much it. Round 10 was close, but O’Brien easily won every other round. Choynski just couldn’t penetrate O’Brien’s defense. Choynski took the first loss of his career, with is most likely coming to an end. O’Brien becomes the first Light Heavyweight Champion of the world.
