Leg kick for Zecchini. Jab for Charriere. Body kick for him. He steps in and lands another hard one. He goes for it a third time and Zecchini almost catches it but then lets go.
Charriere clearly believes he’s hurt Zecchini to the body so he’s continuing to target it, and sure enough he throws a front kick to the body and Zecchini legs buckle and he sinks to his knees.
Zecchini tries to stand back up immediately, only for Charriere to fires off another kick to the midsection that puts him down again to seal a big KO finish at 3.51mins of the opening round.
