Apparently McDonald has the power of hell behind his punches, since it looked like only about 1 or 2 of them were all that was needed to finish this one. It could have also just been massive flurrying Either way, he made ridiculously short work of Barão, who needs some fucking defence. And offence. And...talent....
Regardless, impressive win for McDon. Unimpressive loss for RenBar.
