That end was probably more of an accumulation of damage finish then a low kick finish. Close fight for a bit, then Cro Cops fight for a bit, then round 3 was ALL Rampage, as he fought his way right back into the fight. Then late 3rd, early 4th, Cro Cop came on super-human mode, and took over hardcore, with many, many kicks in that time.
