That's soft'," Menifield said. "And then he started talking to me in a way that was disrespectful.

That's a right hand that cracked him on the dome.Osbourne landed another seven shots while Adashev appeared relatively defenseless on the ground. Then the referee Keith Peterson finally stepped in and waved the contest off — Osbourne had done it.First-round finishes have become a speciality for the 30-year-old but this one was special.Those follow-up shots that Osbourne landed were so powerful, so accurate, that eventually Adashev just had no strength left in his neck and upper body and his skull was just bouncing off the canvas like it was a basketball.It was a helluva performance.Watch the finish right here:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1533186858825359360">June 4, 2022</a></blockquote>"From Kingston, Jamaica … to Vegas, I've been making my mark everywhere I went from the day I was born," Osbourne said during his post-fight speech.
