Round 1: The moment we've waited for for a long, long time. Cyborg making her debut. Crowd went nuts for her intro. Referee is Eduardo Herdy. Amazing how much weight Cyborg has put on since yesterday on scale — 20 plus pounds. Cyborg comes across, and delivers a big right hand. Big exchange, and Leslie took another on the chin. Leg kick from Cyborg. Smith wheeling around, and she again takes a blunt fist on the fly. Big combination, and Smith is down! Big punches, huge. She is getting clobbered, and reeling, and it's over! Cyborg demolishes the tough-chinned Smith. She was as scary as advertised. She gives Smith a kiss afterwards. Smith with her face puffing up with bruises. Cyborg = BEAST.
