ENOCH - Local favourite Drew (Wild Boy) Stuve made short work of American Will (The Brown Bomber) Santiago on Saturday in the main event of BKFC Fight Night Edmonton, the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship's third-ever show in Canada.
The lopsided fight was stopped at one minute 37 seconds of the first round at the River Cree Resort and Casino in suburban Enoch.
At six-foot-two, Stuve towered over the five-foot-eight Santiago who took the fight when original opponent Michael Manno dropped out. Stuve was the aggressor with Santiago only offering the occasional lunging attack.
Stuve finished the fight with a clubbing right to the head that felled the 42-year-old Santiago for the second time in the round.
