[CENTER]ALPHA-1 46 : Friday Night Fights Manol Sirakov vs. Eien Kawano [Quote]Round 1 A crisp jab from Sirakov starts the round, it tagged Kawano on the cheek. Straight right from Kawano in response, glancing off the side of the head, albeit without much power. Sirakov steps in for an attack but is smothered by Kawano who clinches. Sirakov has to react quickly to avoid being tossed to the ground, but can't stop being driven into the cage. Kawano is virtually man-handling Sirakov with his wrestling ability. Up against the cage, Kawano has the much stronger position. Right hand connects to the side of the body. And another. There isn't a great deal of power on them, but they're forming a big red mark on the body, and Sirakov can't really do a lot in response; he can't seem to wrestle Kawano off, and he can't work into a position to unload any strikes either. Kawano fires off another two punches, then goes for a trip. Sirakov spins out, almost falls, but manages to squirm out and back off quickly to the center. That was close, and Sirakov knows it. They are circling, then come in close. Both fighters are tentatively looking for the chance to strike. Kawano is the first to go for it, throwing a three-punch combination. Sirakov covered up well, taking very little damage. Kawano goes to throw a bomb, but gets clipped with a right hand before it can connect. He felt that. Sirakov steps in and throws a bomb of his own, and it crunches into the side of the cheek of Kawano, who goes down! Replays show the shock wave passing through his entire body as that powerful punch connected. What a strike! Sirakov wins this by a brutally clean knock out. The official time is 4:32. [/Quote] WINNER BY KO at 4:32 of Round 1 : Manol Sirakov Casim Yenkini vs. Adam White [Quote]Round 1 Yenkini is the first to score a meaningful blow, tagging White with a jab to the cheek. White uses a nice straight left to return fire. Yenkini comes in to work the body, but White saw it coming and uses a quick takedown to put Yenkini onto the floor, falling into guard. Yenkini has the guard held very high. White throws a big right hand, but almost puts himself right into a triangle as a result, and he is forced to fight free. Yenkini throws a punch and it lands right above the nose. White throws four massive punches as a response, threatening to try and knock Yenkini right through the canvas, Yenkini is forced to simply cover up and try to survive. White is controlling the round from this position, although it has to be said that he hasn't yet truly looked like he can stop the match from here. Yenkini moves to butterfly guard and then tries to scramble back up, but White stops that by throwing another set of big punches, forcing Yenkini to go back to the full guard. The round ends with them still like that, with White having totally controlled the round from the guard. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 White. Round 2 A couple of straight lefts from Yenkini start the round, but neither got past the gloves of White. They clinch, with White looking like he initiated it. They struggle for supremacy. Yenkini gets taken down, but traps White in guard. White fires off a couple of tentative punches, testing out the guard of Yenkini. White tries to pass the guard, but can't, Yenkini isn't going to let him get a better position, as he knows that White will start raining down punches. White tries a big right hand, but it's easily defended. Yenkini gets a punch of his own in, but it didn't connect properly. White again tries to get past the guard, but again is foiled. It's turned into a bit of a stalemate, although the referee probably won't stand them up as long as the punches continue to flow. White fakes an elbow before trying to pass the guard for a third time, and briefly has side mount, but Yenkini fought it hard and gets back to guard within seconds. Butterfly guard by Yenkini, and White is having trouble generating any attacking threat. He'll probably win the round as he has been more aggressive, but Yenkini has defended the danger well. The second round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for White. Round 3 White and Yenkini circle to start. Yenkini throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while White sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Yenkini comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows White to slip a nice jab in, catching Yenkini just underneath the right eye. White comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Yenkini misses with a right cross, then backs off. White stalks him, forcing Yenkini back up against the cage. White doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Yenkini throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. White pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Yenkini covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the cage, White in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. White throws the occasional knee, but can't really do much with his arms tied up like that. The referee finally tells them to break, and they return to the center. That clinch ate up a lot of time though. Yenkini comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. White parries them with his gloves and scores with a well-executed counter punch, hitting just above the eye. They come in close again, throwing punches, but wind up clinched again. The time expires with them like that, and that round will definitely go down in White's favour. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 White. The official scores are: 30-27 (twice), 29-28 for Adam White. [/Quote] WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION : Adam White Paulo Roberto Bezerra vs. Atep of Indonesia [Quote]Round 1 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Atep forces Bezerra back up against the cage, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Atep is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Bezerra clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Bezerra gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Atep seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Bezerra who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Atep had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. They come together, both throwing punches. Bezerra gets a nice clean shot in, and Atep stumbles backwards and falls to the floor. Bezerra is on top of him quickly, and unloads with two more big punches, both connect solidly. The referee jumps in and pulls him away before a third is thrown, this match is over by TKO. Replays show the referee may have been slightly early. Bezerra wins via 1st round TKO with the official time being 7:47. [/Quote] WINNER BY TKO at 7:47 of Round 1 : Paulo Roberto Bezerra Eli Harris vs. Alberto Basora [Quote]Round 1 Fast start by Basora, who has thrown three crisp jabs in the first twenty seconds, although none of them got past the gloves. Harris circles, drawing a lunge from Basora, allowing him to score with a nice low kick to the front leg. Basora ignores that and darts in for a takedown, but only ends up holding one leg, Harris hopping on the other to remain vertical. Basora tries to push forward to complete the takedown, but Harris manages to pull them all the way back to the cage before ultimately going down. That's a much better position to be in though, he has his corner right there, and can use the cage to effectively cut off any form of attack to the left hand side of his body. Basora has one leg trapped between Harris's, and is struggling to get it free. He throws a couple of punches, none of them doing much damage, and then tries to work on one of the arms. It might be a kimura that he looking for. Harris defends it well, without fully escaping it, Basora can't really do a lot with it due to how much he is having to stretch to apply it, due to his leg being trapped. Harris suddenly releases the leg and scrambles up, looking to take Basora's back. Basora was ready for it though, and blocks it by pinning a half-standing Harris up against the cage. It's a precarious position for both fighters. Harris throws a couple of short-range punches. Basora gets a leg in and trips Harris, putting him back on the ground, albeit this time in full guard. It was a nice escape attempt from Harris, at least he can take heart from the fact that it resulted in a better defensive position. Time is running out, it looks like this round will end with them in this position. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Basora. Round 2 Harris doesn't waste any time and throws two jabs to the face, but Basora easily side-steps both and circles to the left. Basora throws a head fake, then comes in fast from an angle with a looping punch, but misses and takes a glancing shot to the shoulder from a left hand counter. Basora goes down! It came out of absolutely nowhere, Harris hit a huge punch that Basora never saw coming. He is dazed, and that gives Harris the chance to follow up. Basora covers up, but Harris is raining down punches from the half mount position. At least two hard shots get through. Harris moves up into side control, briefly looks like he is considering trying to take an arm, then goes back to teeing off on Basora's head with fists. Basora tries to wriggle free, but isn't really getting anywhere because Harris is lying right across his upper body. Harris uses his legs to ensnare Basora's right arm, and then starts firing off more and more punches. With only his left hand to try and block them, Basora is taking more punches than he is blocking. The referee is looking very closely at this, unless Basora does something dramatic pretty soon, I doubt this will go much longer. Harris stops to take a deep breath, then starts firing off another barrage. Basora takes at least three hard shots to the face during the attack, and that's enough for the referee, he calls an end to the match. Harris wins via 2nd round TKO with the official time being 1:09. [/Quote] WINNER BY TKO at 1:09 of Round 2 : Eli Harris Marcelo Oberto vs. Agustin Gonzalez [Quote]Round 1 Good start from Oberto, taking Gonzalez down almost immediately! Gonzalez scrambles though, and gets back to his feet without taking any damage at all. Oberto will be disappointed with that. Gonzalez comes in and throws two big right hands, but neither connects, and they put him off balance, allowing Oberto to score with a nice right hook to the side of the head, crunching into the top of the ear. Gonzalez felt that one for sure. He stalks Oberto, trying to back him up against the cage. It doesn't work though, Oberto keeps out of the way. Gonzalez tries a kick, but Oberto catches the foot and uses it for a trip. Oberto gets Gonzalez down for the second time, and this time is right on top of him in guard position. Oberto throws some punches, then tries to pass. Gonzalez doesn't allow it, and tries to grab an armbar in response. Oberto easily stops that, and throws some more punches. That becomes the pattern, as the fight falls into a predictable pattern; punches from Oberto followed by a pass attempt, with Gonzalez blocking the pass and throwing the occasional punch in response. The round ends like that, just as the referee was about to stand them back up. The first round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Oberto. Round 2 Oberto goes to the center, and immediately throws some jabs, looking to engage in a striking battle. Gonzalez doesn't commit though, instead circling and looking for an angle. Gonzalez comes in, ducks a right hand, then unleashes a flurry of punches. Oberto covers up at first, then throws a scathing right hand, but Gonzalez is already out of range. Gonzalez repeats the trick, working a new angle, darting in, then firing off strikes while keeping out of the way of any counter punches. It happens a third time, and Oberto is beginning to look frustrated. Gonzalez's footwork and general movement is looking good, Oberto is being made to look very slow and lumbering in comparison. Furthermore, Gonzalez is being able to launch multiple short bursts of offense without really being in any danger, Oberto has yet to hit any sort of meaningful punch, simply because Gonzalez is too quick. Oberto finally gets in close enough to grapple with Gonzalez, clinching up. Oberto scores a nice body punch, then steps back and goes for a vicious right hand, but Gonzalez bobs out of the way and hits a right hook of his own. Time is ticking away, and Oberto is well behind in this round, he needs to do something special. Oberto swings for the fences, but Gonzalez has no problem avoiding it. The round peters out. The second round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Gonzalez. Round 3 Bright start from Gonzalez, he bounds over and starts unloading with a flurry of jabs and straight rights, bobbing and weaving the entire time to avoid Oberto's counter punches. Oberto tries to score with a lunging overhand right, but Gonzalez side-steps it and catches him with a crunching punch to the jaw. Oberto backs off quickly, dazed, it's a surprise that he didn't go down from that. Gonzalez follows up, hoping to capitalise on the situation, and bombards Oberto with punches. Oberto covers up at first, then grabs Gonzalez and uses a clinch to prevent the attack from getting worse. They get stuck like that for a while, which works in Oberto's favour as it gives him plenty of time to recover properly. They are finally parted. Oberto goes looking for revenge, firing off several enormous punches, trying to take Gonzalez's head off, but Gonzalez is far too quick at the moment, and almost dances his way out of the way of each strike, tagging Oberto with flicked jabs as counters. Gonzalez's movement is noticeably better than Oberto, who is really struggling to generate any sort of meaningful attack simply because he is struggling to hit the constantly moving target that is Gonzalez. They exchange strikes in the center, and for the first time Oberto gets a few blows in, as Gonzalez looks to be tiring a little. It won't be enough to get Oberto the round though, Gonzalez has clearly won this on points and there's only a few seconds left. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gonzalez by 10-9. Agustín Gonzalez wins the match by split decision, getting 29-28 from two judges, the other giving 29-28 to Marcelo Oberto. [/Quote] WINNER BY SPLIT DECISION : Agustin Gonzalez Grzegorz Boniek vs. Sylvester Collins [Quote]Round 1 Boniek is forced onto the backfoot almost immediately, having to retreat to avoid a series of sharp jabs. He ends up with his back to the cage, with Collins advancing. A sharp right misses, and Boniek takes the opportunity to pull Collins in to a tight clinch against the cage. Collins tries to break free, but cannot. It looks like we know the strategies for this round already; Collins wants to stand and bang, Boniek wants to keep things at close quarters. Collins tries for an elbow, but only succeeds in getting turned around so that he is now the one against the cage. Trip from Boniek, and we're down to the ground. Boniek has side control, but Collins has landed with his left hand side against the cage, so that side of the body is basically safe for now. Boniek will have to try to work the right-hand side, and starts by ramming a knee into the ribs. Collins tries to squirm into a better position, but Boniek puts a stop to that with a stiff elbow to the stomach. Boniek tries to work a kimura on the right arm, but Collins defends it. Collins manages to bring a knee up and catch Boniek in the side, something of a cheeky move given his position. Boniek responds with five or six rapid-fire right hands to the face, but Collins covers up and doesn't take any serious damage at all. Time is ticking away though, and so far Boniek may be easily winning the round, but he is not taking full advantage of this great position. Boniek tries to float over into a mount, but Collins uses the cage to push away and manages to unbalance Boniek enough to get to a kneeling position, then standing, albeit back into a clinch. A knee from Boniek is the last action of the round. The first round is over. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Boniek. Round 2 Collins moves in quickly to begin, trapping Boniek against the cage. The advantage doesn't last long though, as Boniek uses his superior wrestling ability to turn the tables and gain the upper hand. Knee to the thigh by Boniek, then a solid punch to the shoulder. Collins tries to get a punch in, but Boniek uses his grappling to gain a better position and put a stop to that. Collins squirms free and away from the cage. The two fighters come together in the center. Boniek leads with a left, but Collins easily avoids it and comes in close to throw some body shots. It all gets a bit scrappy, but it ends with Collins falling to the ground. Replays show that Boniek did catch him with a jab, but it clearly did very little damage, Collins had already stumbled while taking a step backward. Regardless of how it happened though, Collins is down, and Boniek is quick to rush in to capitalise. Boniek starts raining down punches, and Collins is forced to cover up and simply try to weather the storm. Boniek traps Collins's left arm between his legs, and has him in crucifix position. Collins is wide open. Boniek starts smashing down on him with elbows and fists, using his left arm to keep Collins from bringing his own right arm in to cover up. More punches connect, and Collins can't do anything at all. The referee tells him to defend himself, but Collins simply can't. Boniek fires off a brutal elbow with venom, and Collins took it full on the chin. He's out like a light, the referee pulls Boniek off, the match is over. Official time of the knock out is 2:06 of the second.

[UFC-KING]

[CENTER]ALPHA-1 47 : Oh Canada ! Adam White vs. Zenko Hatakeyama [Quote]Round 1 Slow start; nearly a full minute of circling, occasional fakes, and long-range jabs. Neither fighter is creating much. Hatakeyama works an angle, but takes a low kick to the shin when he advances. They clinch, and end up with White backed up against the cage. Hatakeyama gets a couple of right hands to the body, but his attempts at knee strikes are deflected by White, who uses his legs well to defend. Hatakeyama pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. White gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Hatakeyama follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Hatakeyama hits a couple of right hands, both hitting gloves, then a left hand to the body that connected. That was the best shot of the round so far. White tags him with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. White leans in to a looping left, but it puts him off balance and it's only at the last second that he gets his chin out of the way of a vicious right cross that comes back. If that had hit, we may have had a knock out. Time runs out with them standing, circling again. The first round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Hatakeyama. Round 2 Hatakeyama is the first to score a meaningful blow, tagging White with a jab to the cheek. White uses a nice straight left to return fire. Hatakeyama comes in to work the body, but White saw it coming and uses a quick takedown to put Hatakeyama onto the floor, falling into guard. The fight falls into a lull as a pattern develops; White punctuating attempts to pass guard with some sharp punches to the body and face, while Hatakeyama parries away any big blows and puts all of his effort into making sure White doesn't get a better position. Things heat up as White manages to break the guard and get through into a half mount. Hatakeyama hits a nice clean right hand in response. White throws a couple of hard punches to the stomach. He has one leg trapped, and is trying to pull that free so that he can move further up the body and really start pounding away. Hatakeyama knows that having the leg trapped is his key to not ending up in huge trouble, and so has it locked up tight. White tries a half-hearted attempt at a kimura, but Hatakeyama defends it well. The round ends with White still unable to transition into side control, although he has landed enough shots to have lit up Hatakeyama's upper body with red marks, and definitely won the round on points. The second round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to White. Round 3 Slow start to the round, they're both circling, looking for an opening. Hatakeyama tries a looping punch from way back, but White side steps with ease. Jab from White, gets one back in response. Hatakeyama comes in, looking for the right hand lead, but White shoots in and uses a double-leg takedown. He winds up in a closed guard. White tries to work free from the guard, but can't. Hatakeyama reaches up to try and bring White down into a clinch, but the attempt gets swatted away. White fires off a couple of punches, leaning forward to get some leverage, and Hatakeyama is forced to cover up. White switches and starts firing off some rapid-fire shots to the chest, Hatakeyama deals with it by pulling the guard tighter and punching upward. White looks like he is happy to sit there and throw punches at his leisure, with no real effort to pass guard. Hatakeyama occasionally tries to roll his hips to get free, but it may be that he has realised that this round is beyond saving, and is just making sure that he doesn't put himself into a position to be knocked out or submitted by trying to escape. Indeed, time ticks away with nothing breaking the pattern of occasional strikes and defensive positioning. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for White. The official scores are in; two judges give 29-28, the other 30-27, all for Adam White. [/Quote] WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION : Adam White Mugur Boc vs. Robun Yamazaki [Quote]Round 1 Yamazaki starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Boc manages to squeeze a jab of his own through and score just above the left cheek. They exchange a flurry of blows right in the center, it's difficult to see who got the best of it, and both of them retreat a few steps to recover. Good start to the round, early indications are that this is going to be all about the striking, neither fighter has even hinted at going for a takedown. Boc uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Yamazaki is forced back against the cage. Boc picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Yamazaki uses a couple of looping punches to make Boc keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Boc bursts forward and hits two big right hands, taking a counter punch to the body though, and they wind up in a clinch. They exchange weak-looking blows from that position, before the referee grows tired of the inactivity and breaks them apart. Yamazaki scores with a low kick. Yamazaki looks to be working an angle. Boc unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Boc. Round 2 The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Boc fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Yamazaki didn't buy it for a second. In comes Boc from an angle to the right, but Yamazaki had it covered all the way, and not only easily steps out of the way of the attempted right hand, but manages to score with a solid right hand to the side of the head. Boc felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Yamazaki steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Boc is forced back against the cage, but to his credit, he did a good job defending those strikes and didn't seem to take any significant damage. Yamazaki doesn't get in too close, realising that it would likely mean getting caught in a clinch, so he stands slightly back instead and throws some low kicks and looping punches. Boc responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. Yamazaki clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Boc is quick to tie him up in a clinch. That lasts quite a while, until the referee gets in there and breaks them up, telling them to fight. An exchange of punches goes nowhere, and they fall into a clinch. The referee separates them when nothing happens. Yamazaki scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Boc. Nicely done. Boc, realising that he is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put Yamazaki on the back foot. Yamazaki handles it well though, refusing to let Boc get an angle, and using some nice counter punches to the body to further cement the fact that this round is going to him on points. Time expires with Boc throwing increasingly desperate punches. End of round 2. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Yamazaki. Round 3 Dull first sixty seconds to the round, as neither fighter looks willing to commit much to attack. They're both looking for angles to come in from, but they're constantly countering each other. A crisp jab from Boc that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute.

Yamazaki starts punching again, driving fists into the side of Boc's face. Boc is trapped, and can barely cover up.

Peltonen fires off a couple of tentative punches, testing out the guard of Richelleau. Peltonen tries to pass the guard, but can't, Richelleau isn't going to let him get a better position, as he knows that Peltonen will start raining down punches. Peltonen tries a big right hand, but it's easily defended. Richelleau gets a punch of his own in, but it didn't connect properly. Peltonen again tries to get past the guard, but again is foiled. It's turned into a bit of a stalemate, although the referee probably won't stand them up as long as the punches continue to flow. Peltonen fakes an elbow before trying to pass the guard for a third time, and briefly has side mount, but Richelleau fought it hard and gets back to guard within seconds. Butterfly guard by Richelleau, and Peltonen is having trouble generating any attacking threat. He'll probably win the round as he has been more aggressive, but Richelleau has defended the danger well. End of round 1. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Peltonen. Round 2 They touch gloves to start the round.

Peltonen goes to follow up, and almost gets side control, but Richelleau recovers quickly enough to turn and pull guard. Peltonen throws out a right hand, parried away by Richelleau. The guard is quite tight, for the moment at least Peltonen looks content to stay there and throw some punches.

A big punch is driven into the ribs, Richelleau thought it was going for the face. Another punch lands in the same place, and a red mark starts to develop. Richelleau reaches up and pulls Peltonen down into a clinch, and tries to work an armbar from the bottom. Peltonen defends it easily, and gets in a sharp jab to the face too. He stands up slightly, leaning forward into the guard, and starts throwing some right hands. One gets through, the others are parried. Richelleau looked like he might be considering trying to apply a triangle then, as Peltonen was very exposed, but he didn't get a chance due to the ferocity of the punches. Peltonen gets back down to kneeling in the guard. Another right hand lands to the ribs. Richelleau fires off two punches from his back, but Peltonen defends them easily by simply leaning backward out of reach.

Round 3 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Richelleau puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Peltonen defended well. Straight right from Peltonen in response, but it caught nothing but gloves. They start circling. The referee tells them to fight, the lack of action so far is worrying. They get in close and exchange body shots, Richelleau probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them.

Tanaka fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Rush didn't buy it for a second. In comes Tanaka from an angle to the right, but Rush had it covered all the way, and not only easily steps out of the way of the attempted right hand, but manages to score with a solid right hand to the side of the head. Tanaka felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Rush steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Tanaka is forced back against the cage, but to his credit, he did a good job defending those strikes and didn't seem to take any significant damage.

No real damage caused, but Tanaka is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Rush clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Rush gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing.

An uppercut misses its mark from Laurent, providing the first moment of real action. Mack hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Laurent side-stepped to safety.

The referee separates them, but the time is ticking away and this round looks like it's going to the judges. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Mack. Round 2 Mack isn't hanging around, right from the start Laurent is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Laurent circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Mack weaves out of the way and scores with a beauty of a right hand, glancing above the right eye. That was some lovely counter punching from Mack, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Laurent is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Mack really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Laurent was wide open for a moment there. Mack hits a high kick, catching Laurent on the shoulder.

Laurent defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Mack works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Laurent ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Mack down much though, as he swiftly turns and hits a crisp left to the side of the head, followed almost instantly by a mid-level kick that smacks above the hip of Laurent.

Laurent got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Mack has probably done enough to win the round, but it has turned quite scrappy since the clinch against the cage, both will probably be slightly unhappy with that. Laurent tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Mack defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Mack. Round 4 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Mack throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Laurent from coming inside. Mack works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Laurent responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting. Mack backs off slightly, maybe a bit relieved not to have taken that one on the chin. Neither fighter appears to be looking for any sort of takedown or grapple, this is all about the striking. Laurent circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Mack blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Mack fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots.

They stay clinched for a while, exchanging occasional punches to the ribs, then are separated by the referee. It looks like this round is going to the judges though, as there's only a few seconds remaining. Mack throws a leg kick that connects, albeit without too much force, and the round is done.

Laurent responds with an attempted sweep, and when that doesn't work, a punch that lands behind the ear. Mack gets in a low kick as he backs off, and the fight returns towards the center.

Laurent comes in quickly, throwing looping punches, but gets reckless and Mack grabs the opportunity by nailing a big right cross!
