Lorenz Larkin was happy to stand and trade with Paul Daley, much to the British slugger’s delight.
It took him a round to get warmed up, but “Semtex” eventually made Larkin pay for testing his striking, blasting Larkin with a left hand before finishing him off with a combination in Round 2 of the Bellator 183 welterweight co-main event at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on Saturday.
Larkin started off strong, scoring with kicks and straight rights in Round 1. After Daley slipped off a kick, Larkin went to work from top position and closed out the first five minutes with ground-and-pound.
