Benn came out with a lot of pressure from the start and was pushing Van Heerden back. They were trading punches off the ropes. Benn was unloading with a lot of punches, but he was really wild at times and getting caught here and there by counters.
In the second, Benn unloaded with a variety of hard punches to send Van Heerden down hard on the mat. Van Heerden struggled to make it up as the referee waved off the fight.
