One punch changes everything in bare knuckle.
Cameron VanCamp thought he was on his way to victory, but a single right hand from Julian Lane ended matters in round four.
The welterweight bout headlined BKFC on DAZN: Mohegan Sun Saturday night in Connecticut, USA.
The taller VanCamp used his height and reach effectively, building an early lead. He stunned Lane with an uppercut in round two. But Lane finally landed clean in round three, knocking VanCamp back with a right-left combination.
The confident VanCamp taunted Lane during the bout, pointing at him after landing punches. But it was Lane who laughed last.
Lane stepped in with an overhand right catching VanCamp on the chin. VanCamp fell on his back and the fight was over.

“Hey, I gotta keep tellin y’all and I gotta keep reminding y’all, this is my fucking house, This is my ring. I’m the king of violence,” Lane said after the fight.
“Nobody got shit. I’ve been doing this before all of y’all,” said Lane, who debuted in BKB in 2017 with a victory over legend Jimmy Sweeney.
“Jeremy Stephens. Mike Perry. They signed Jimmy Sweeney. All three of y’all motherfuckers can get it any day,” he said.
“I Made That Fight Hard”
“I made that fight hard cause I was being patient,” Lane said of his performance against VanCamp.
“I like to press the gas full speed.”
“I was hunting him down with that right hand the whole time cause I knew he was vulnerable. The overhand right. Cause he drops his hands.”
After 15 professional bare knuckle matches and seven years of fighting without gloves, Lane (8-7) knocked an opponent out for the first time.
“It feels amazing. My first KO in (my) bare knuckle history,” he said.
