feet down in the box right on three on three his arm must be healed because he heard it on the show there was rumors he was going to hit with the last one two that was a big one that was a big one there’s nothing wrong with that hand called a stepping foul on Provost to be honest Michael I’m a little surprised that we’re seeing this many fouls yes well it’s a big occasion it’s a big event the first number they put their best foot forward well you gotta keep those feet planted you gotta come up a little for me here a little bit more chin above one step forward yeah you gotta keep those feet on the ground a little rising up the hill [Applause] keep your feet down in the box right three keep your heels down two and one coming into this slap fight and the biggest hands as well right here we go all right clean shot fired up Provost eats it pretty well but remember there’s a foul so that first round’s gonna go to Asbury you got him good though and you’re good you’re good brother that is a good point Jason never took the point away though easy so he’s probably here 10-9 so the first round would still go to Asbury a little surprise that they didn’t take the point but they do give warnings on occasion Ally should have been a point deduction if you ask me but still what’s going on here uh yes they’re they’re discussing it right now and they’re informing Jason Herzog that that should have been an automatic you guys got your point okay there’s a one-point deduction one point deduction for the stepping one point deduction for the stepping On which hand and what count will you be striking here white right on three right that’s 10A Asbury not in the first round Provost needs a big one here one two [Applause] problems he’s got 10 seconds he’s trying hard I don’t think he’s going to make it he’s grabbing that table I don’t know he’s up okay look at this with the injured hand Andrew Provost gets it done after the foul in the first Knockouts brought to you by Monster Energy Unleash the Beast here’s another look perfect slap oh wait for it I mean look at that the follow through that’s what gets it done and Asbury still conscious but trying to get back to his feet just wasn’t gonna happen grab the hole to the table trying to climb his way up like a boxer does with the ropes in the boxing ring but Jason Herzog look at this way boom oh man it’s a lot of power Andrew Provost doing his little Connor walk around the stage you know his 13 year old son TJ watching at home loving what Dad did there and you can see he had a minor heel lift on that that’s okay you
