UFC-KING Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 [CENTER]ALPHA-1 48 : Pure Destruction Paulo Roberto Bezerra vs. Teeratep Nutnum [Quote]Round 1 The round begins, and it is Bezerra who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Nutnum defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Bezerra works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Nutnum ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Bezerra 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 Nutnum. Interesting first minute of action, Bezerra is looking particularly sharp. Nutnum tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Bezerra back against the cage with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Nutnum tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Bezerra scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Nutnum narrowly misses a right cross. They square up to each other in the center. Bezerra throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Nutnum on the side of the head. Nutnum got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Bezerra 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. Nutnum tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Bezerra defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Bezerra by 10-9. Round 2 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Bezerra throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Nutnum from coming inside. Bezerra works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Nutnum responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting. Bezerra 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. Nutnum circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Bezerra blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Bezerra fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots. Nutnum covers up and rides out the storm, clinching to stop any further blows. It was a nice attack from Bezerra though, best action of the round. 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. Bezerra throws a leg kick that connects, albeit without too much force, and the round is done. The second round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Bezerra. Round 3 Two jabs from the left hand of Bezerra set up a hard waist-high kick, but Nutnum steps back to avoid it. Nice attempt though. Bezerra moves in closer, bobbing and weaving, and looks to score with a looping right hand, but Nutnum uses the gloves to parry it away, then counter-strikes with a crisp jab and a kick to the knee. Good opening to the round, both fighters are looking lively. Bezerra finds himself backed up against the cage briefly, and has to scramble to safety to avoid a flurry of strikes. Nutnum is working for position, and is currently looking the more composed of the two. Bezerra with a body shot. Nutnum tries to work an angle, then steps in...and gets creamed with a high head kick! Bezerra landed it right to the ear of all places, and Nutnum's legs give way, sending him crashing to the floor. The referee immediately covers him up, he is clearly out cold. Bezerra gets the win via K.O. The official time is 2:53. [/Quote] WINNER BY KO at 2:53 of Round 3 : Paulo Roberto Bezerra Ricardo Fernandes vs. Jonathan Huang for the LW Title [Quote]Round 1 Huang starts the round by throwing some low kicks. Fernandes checks them, then comes in and clearly wants to trade punches. Huang doesn't seem too bothered by that, and they enter into the first exchange of punches of the round. Difficult to say who came out on top, neither of them did a great deal of damage, most of the shots hit the opponent's gloves. Huang cleverly head-fakes, allowing him the time and angle that he needed to catch Fernandes with a beauty of a right hook. Fernandes stumbles backward, but doesn't go down. Huang presses the advantage by following in with a kick, then a right hand. Fernandes clinches. They remain clinched for a while. Fernandes scores with a nice knee, it appeared to catch Huang in the gut. Huang uses a single leg trip and takes the fight to the ground. Huang gets to side control upon impact, and immediately goes for an armbar. Fernandes reacts quickly, but is in real danger. Huang has his left arm straightened out, fortunately Fernandes has managed to roll and get a good position that is stopping Huang from getting the leverage needed to apply an armlock. Huang tries to step over and fully apply it, but Fernandes breaks free and gets him to back off with a couple of up-kicks. Huang steps back and motions for him to stand up. They go back to circling in the center. Fernandes hits a nice right hand, but takes one back too. The time runs down; Huang will probably get that round on points, he hit the best punch of the round, and got the only takedown, plus was the one who was working toward a submission. The round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Huang by 10-9. Round 2 Fernandes comes out fast and quickly backs Huang up, all the way up against the cage. Fernandes throws a series of rights and lefts; none of the strikes to the head got through, but two nice body shots did. He doesn't follow up though, instead keeping a few steps back, clearly not wanting to get tied up in a clinch. Huang throws a low kick, then advances with some jabs, forcing Fernandes to back off a little. They meet in the center and exchange strikes, with Fernandes looking the crisper striker of the two, although without doing any real damage. Huang shoots in for the takedown, but Fernandes sprawls and eventually pushes free. Right hand from Fernandes, then two jabs which both find their mark. Huang bats away a third, then comes in hard and fast for a second takedown attempt. Fernandes sprawls again, but gets pushed all the way up against the cage. Huang has a leg, but is low down to the ground and doesn't have the leverage to complete the takedown. He works to a better standing position, but has to lose the leg and grab a clinch instead. They both fire off some small punches from there. Huang tries for a trip, but Fernandes avoids it and works free from the clinch. He returns to the center, clearly wanting a striking battle rather than a grappling match. Huang follows, hands held high, and throws a couple of jabs. Fernandes connects with one instead though, and then with a looping right hand that catches Huang above the eye. He felt that, but doesn't go down. Best strike of the round so far. Huang throws a low kick. Fernandes comes in to strike again, but this time cannot sprawl quickly enough and gets taken down. Fernandes pulls guard. Unfortunately for Huang, now that he has finally gotten the takedown, there's less than thirty seconds left. He tries to pass guard to get to side control, but Fernandes comfortably defends it until the round is over. The 2nd round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fernandes. Round 3 Fernandes throws two high punches, then steps in for a hook to the body. Nice combination, but Huang defended with ease. They clinch up next to the cage, but a short struggle only ends with them separating and coming back in. Huang comes in looking for a kick, but Fernandes side-steps out of the way and then easily takes him down. Huang was off-balance from the kick, and had no way of blocking the takedown. Fernandes tries to pass the guard. Huang is holding it quite high, which is helping. Fernandes throws a couple of loose punches, then grabs the legs and turns Huang over. Huang tries to scramble free, but Fernandes is already on top of him and has his back! Fernandes doesn't waste any time, he starts throwing bombs with both left and right fists, slamming them into the side of Huang's head. He is trying to cover up, but a lot of shots are getting through. The referee is watching closely. A vicious right hand thunders into the ear of Huang, then another to the side of the nose. That's all the referee wants to see, he pulls Fernandes off. Fernandes wins via 3rd round TKO with the official time being 1:34. Ricardo Fernandes successfully retains the ALPHA-1 Lightweight title. [/Quote] WINNER BY TKO at 1:34 of Round 3 : Ricardo Fernandes Andrew Rush vs. Dukuohtei Kuroki for the MW Title [Quote]Round 1 Rush hits some tentative punches, then comes in fast and forces Kuroki to back up against the cage, where they clinch. Rush hits a nice body shot, but takes two short punches to the side of the head in return. Kuroki tries a trip, but it doesn't go anywhere. They separate, with Rush having to stay sharp to avoid a scorching right hand from Kuroki. They are circling, then come in close. Both fighters are tentatively looking for the chance to strike. Kuroki is the first to go for it, throwing a three-punch combination. Rush covered up well, taking very little damage. Kuroki goes to throw a bomb, but gets clipped with a right hand before it can connect. He felt that. Rush steps in and throws a bomb of his own, and it crunches into the side of the cheek of Kuroki, who goes down! Replays show the shock wave passing through his entire body as that powerful punch connected. What a strike! Rush wins this by a brutally clean knock out. The official time of the knock out is 3:18 of round 1. Andrew Rush successfully retains the ALPHA-1 Middleweight title. [/Quote] WINNER BY KO At 3:18 of Round 3 : Andrew Rush Tadamasa Yamada vs. Jin Katou [Quote]Round 1 There's a few minor exchanges of punches to start the round, and Yamada gets the better of them. Neither fighter is throwing any bombs, but Yamada is showing the better technique, and has hit a few nice body shots. They come together again, and Yamada shows quick hands to get in three nice shots. Katou definitely felt them. Neither fighter seems interested in taking this to the ground, they're just circling, throwing a few punches, then regrouping. Katou is struggling to inflict much damage. He may need to switch tactics, as so far Yamada is looking very comfortable. Katou comes in with left, but Yamada saw it coming and slipped in a great right hand counter punch. Katou is getting frustrated. The remainder of the round is no different, as the occasional exchanges of strikes are clearly go the way of Yamada's superior technique. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Yamada by 10-9. Round 2 Katou starts out with a few straight rights, range-finding rather than actually dangerous. Yamada keeps out of their way. Katou steps forward and tries to unload with a looping left, but Yamada moves to the side and fires off a powerful right hand of his own, landing above the left eye. Katou doesn't go down, but definitely felt that shot. Yamada moves in closer and fires off two punches to the face and a big hook to the body. Katou parried the first two, but the third hit home hard. Yamada begins to stalk Katou, who may be slightly winded. They meet again in the center and exchange blows. Katou hits a high jab but gets caught with another hard punch to the side of the head. Katou clinches up, stopping Yamada from following up. It looks like Katou needs to change his game plan, standing up and banging with Yamada is playing right into his opponent's hands, as Yamada clearly has the more powerful strikes in his arsenal, and Katou is going to get floored sooner or later, judging by this round. The referee parts them from the clinch. Yamada continues to look ready to unleash some big punches. Katou takes a takedown, then comes in much closer, throws a jab, and clinches back up. Katou looks like he is going to grapple, stopping Yamada from throwing bombs. Katou gets in a few short punches to the ribs. The round ends with them still in the clinch. Yamada will take that round on points, having used the threat of a knock out to basically control everything about that round except the clinches. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Yamada. Round 3 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Yamada puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Katou defended well. Straight right from Katou 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, Yamada probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Katou gets a nice kick in just before the time expires, but it's unlikely that is going to stop the judges giving that round to Yamada. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Yamada by 10-9. The official scores are: 30-27 from all three judges for Tadamasa Yamada. [/Quote] WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION : Tadamasa Yamada Fumiaki Hayashi vs. Bakin Sakamoto for the WW Title [Quote]Round 1 Exchange of punches to start, nothing really hit though. They go into a clinch, and the pace disappears as both fighters try and get the advantage. Eventually the referee separates them. Jab from Hayashi, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Hayashi puts on a burst of energy and fires off a big sequence of punches, maybe twelve or thirteen in a row, although not many actually connected. Sakamoto covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Hayashi looks for an opening. Low kick from Sakamoto, almost to the groin, although it didn't look intentional. They come together in a clinch again, and it returns to a stalemate. Not a great round by anyone's standard, but that flurry should mean that Hayashi will take the round on points. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Hayashi. Round 2 Hayashi starts fast, firing off several crisp jabs that keep Sakamoto on the back foot. A solid left hits gloves, but it's really just a set-up for Hayashi to step in and use an uppercut. Not sure how much of it caught Sakamoto, but certainly enough to to make him grab a clinch to stop any further punishment. Great start to the round from Hayashi, it has been total domination so far. The clinch is broken, and the two fighters exchange some long range jabs that are easily avoided. Sakamoto is looking a little lost so far, Hayashi is controlling this round by virtue of his crisp accurate punches and higher aggression levels. Sakamoto narrowly misses a right cross. Hayashi leads with the left, then moves in and gets in a wicked right hand that grazes the cheek. Sakamoto was fortunate there, if that had landed properly it would have been over. Sakamoto comes back with a leg kick to set up a one-two combination, but the round is coming to a close and it's going to be too little too late. The one bright spot for Sakamoto is that although Hayashi clearly won the round, he didn't actually turn that dominance into any sort of real damage. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Hayashi by 10-9. Round 3 Hayashi is quickest out, and comes at Sakamoto with a series of jabs and straight punches. Sakamoto covered up well, and I don't think anything got through. Sakamoto hits a body shot, but it didn't connect solidly. They get in close, and it's Hayashi who takes it to the ground. Sakamoto pulls guard. There's a lull, as Hayashi tries to pass, and Sakamoto defends it. Punches get thrown every so often, but it's really a stalemate at the moment. Sakamoto almost gets a guillotine, but it's blocked and almost leads to a kimura for Hayashi, but that too goes nowhere. The referee stands them up, but the time is almost over. The 3rd round ends. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Hayashi. Round 4 The round starts with some tentative striking. Both fighters look to be using their strikes merely to keep the opponent off-balance while they work for an angle for a takedown, rather than actually trying to inflict too much damage. Sakamoto goes for the first takedown, but Hayashi has it well-scouted and they merely end up in a clinch. They tussle, ending up all the way back against the cage. Both fighters try trips, but neither gets anything. Finally, the referee steps in and separates them. Hayashi storms back in almost immediately and takes Sakamoto down, into guard. It's hard to say whether that was just a good takedown or whether Sakamoto just had a lapse in concentration. Hayashi tries to pass the guard but can't, with Sakamoto employing a rubber guard now. There's a definite stalemate, Sakamoto is defending very well but isn't really offering any attacking threat or really trying to get out of this predicament. Hayashi makes a big effort to pass, and manages to get to half guard, but Sakamoto has him tied up pretty well all the same. Time is ticking away, what has been a very tame round looks set to end without much in the way of highlights. It'll have to go to Hayashi on points, the takedown is really the only noteworthy thing that has happened. End of round 4. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Hayashi. Round 5 Hayashi starts with a high kick, but Sakamoto was well out of range. Sakamoto narrowly misses a right cross. Hayashi steps in and exchanges strikes with Sakamoto, neither fighter gets a particular advantage from it. Sakamoto parries away a nice right hand and gets in a crisp counter punch that catches Hayashi on the shoulder. The round has been a little flat so far, neither of them is really forcing the issue. They enter into a clinch, which doesn't help matters, and that seems to last for an eternity before the referee separates them and tells them to get on with it. Hayashi finally shows some fire, putting together a combination of two jabs, a cross, and an uppercut. Sakamoto did well to defend it, bobbing and weaving out of the way and using his gloves to parry away anything that was too close. He uses a low kick to the thigh as a response, then steps in and unloads with two fine punches, although Hayashi blocked them. Hayashi scores the best punch of the round so far, coming in fast, ducking under a dangerous right hand, and catching Sakamoto square in the face with a lunging overhand right. Sakamoto backs off and covers up, clearly having felt that one, and unfortunately Hayashi's attempts to follow up and thwarted as he gets tied up in a clinch near the cage. The time expires, with Hayashi probably having stolen that round thanks to that one big punch. The fifth round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Hayashi. The official scores are in; two judges give 50-45, the other 49-46, all for Fumiaki Hayashi. Fumiaki Hayashi retains the ALPHA-1 Welterweight title. [/Quote] WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION : Fumiaki Hayashi Hassan Fezzik vs. Brian Barnes [Quote]Round 1 Flat start to the round, thirty seconds of circling without any actual contact. The fans begin to get a bit restless. Barnes is the first to try something, stringing together a couple of jabs and a low kick, but Fezzik blocked the first two and avoided the latter. A lunge from Barnes is meant to set up a punch, but it's clumsy and just leaves him off balance. Fezzik is quick to react, and gets a great shot to the side of the face in before Barnes can cover up. That landed above the left eye and has left an ugly red mark. No cut, but that will start to swell and could give Barnes some problems later on. Barnes moves in for a right hook, but takes a hard kick to the knee, then is forced to retreat so as not to get caught with the two right hands that follow. Fezzik is staying on it though, and glances three shots off the gloves of Barnes before they wind up in a clinch. That punch above the eye, or maybe the mistake that led to it, seems to have completely thrown Barnes off, since that moment he has been comprehensively out-struck and is now in danger of losing this round. They struggle in the clinch, neither fighter managing a great deal more than minor blows. Barnes goes for a trip, but Fezzik cleverly spins out of it and the two fighters are back to circling. Not a great round for purists, it has all been a bit disjointed, but that one shot from Fezzik may prove decisive. As the round comes to an end, they wind up back in another clinch, with nothing coming of it. End of round 1. Blurcat.com gives that one to Fezzik by 10-9. Round 2 They circle each other. Barnes scores with a right hook, steps in for a straight left, but Fezzik unloads with a massive high kick and Barnes is out cold! Awesome kick from Fezzik, Barnes was out like a light upon impact. Fezzik wins via 2nd round knock out with the official time being 0:37. Hassan Fezzik retains the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight title. [/Quote] WINNER BY KO at 0:37 of Round 2 : Hassan Fezzik Petey Mack vs. Roberto Aldez for the LHW Title [Quote]Round 1 They circle to start, both throwing a few tentative jabs. An uppercut misses its mark from Aldez, providing the first moment of real action. Mack hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Aldez side-stepped to safety. A few punches get thrown, but there's a lack of real action to talk about. Mack is being slightly the more aggressive, but neither fighter is really going for it. They come together again and exchange punches, but no big shots get through, and they end up clinched for a while. The referee separates them, but the time is ticking away and this round looks like it's going to the judges. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Mack. Round 2 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Mack throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Aldez from coming inside. Mack works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Aldez 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. Aldez 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. Aldez covers up and rides out the storm, clinching to stop any further blows. It was a nice attack from Mack though, best action of the round. 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. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Mack. Round 3 Aldez starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Mack 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. Mack uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Aldez is forced back against the cage. Mack picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Aldez uses a couple of looping punches to make Mack keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Mack 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. Aldez scores with a low kick. Mack looks to be working an angle. Mack unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Mack. Round 4 The round begins, and it is Mack who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Aldez 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. Aldez 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 Aldez. Interesting first minute of action, Mack is looking particularly sharp. Aldez tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Mack back against the cage with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Aldez tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Mack scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. A looping left from Mack, but it's wide of the mark. They square up to each other in the center. Mack throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Aldez on the side of the head. Aldez 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. Aldez 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 has it down as 10-9 Mack. Round 5 Aldez leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Mack deals with it well. They clinch, but only for a few seconds before it gets broken. Both throw stiff jabs at the same time, neither connects properly. Back to the clinch. It has been a disjointed start to the round, the flow hasn't quite developed properly. Mack uses a knee to the ribs before backing Aldez up against the cage. Right hand from Aldez connects though, that was well timed. Mack breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Aldez was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Mack sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Aldez fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Aldez throws an uppercut, Mack easily steps back to avoid it. Aldez follows him but gets blasted with a right hand! Aldez falls to the ground! Mack leaps into action, mounting him and raining down punches. The referee stops the match, seeing that Aldez was getting overwhelmed. Replays show that the punch that originally dropped Aldez was a complete swing for the fences by Mack, he even looks like he has his eyes closed when it was thrown! The official time is 3:46. Petey Mack wins the ALPHA-1 Light Heavyweight title.

UFC-KING Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 [CENTER]THE CONTENDER 2 : Gabriel Gallego vs. Will Kane Round 1 Gallego isn't hanging around, right from the start Kane is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Kane circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Gallego 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 Gallego, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Kane is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Gallego really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Kane was wide open for a moment there. Gallego hits a high kick, catching Kane on the shoulder. Jab from Kane finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Gallego fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Kane scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Gallego, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Gallego. Round 2 They circle each other. Kane misses with a low kick, and Gallego darts in to hit a jab before retreating. They come together and exchange punches, both got a few shots in. Gallego is looking much lighter on his feet, and keeps moving in, hitting a few punches, then getting back out of range. Kane is trying to catch him coming in, but doesn't have the timing quite right. It happens again. Gallego isn't getting much power on the punches, but he is getting ahead on points. Kane tries to get in close, but Gallego is keeping moving, and isn't letting himself get cornered. Gallego looks to be working an angle. Gallego gets a solid punch in, catching Kane just above the left eye. Kane finally gets a clinch, forcing Gallego up against the cage, but it's too little, too late as the round ends. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gallego by 10-9. Round 3 Slow start to the round. We're nearly a minute in before Kane throws the first meaningful punch, trying to squeeze a fizzing jab through to Gallego's jaw, but it is parried. Gallego steps in, but has to quickly side-step to avoid a straight right. Kane moves in to throw some body punches but gets clipped with a big right hand. It was partially blocked, it would have been a potential knock out if that had hit home on the chin, Gallego put a lot of weight behind it. Kane hits a nice jab, then clinches. Gallego hits a knee, takes a punch to the ribs, then breaks free. Kane hits a low kick to the leg. Gallego bursts forward and scores with a big right hand to the body, then a left hook.

Brown tries again, but Kobayashi is looking sharp and parries away any dangerous shot, getting in a few crisp jabs of his own along the way. Brown finally backs off, realising that this isn't working. Kobayashi is showing superior ability with his hands, they're fast and accurate, Brown isn't able to cope with them at close quarters, being made to look slow and ragged in comparison. Brown switches to using raking right hands and looping punches, keeping Kobayashi back, but its effectiveness is limited as Brown's punches are easily parried away, and Kobayashi can still hit the occasional right hand. The round ends with that being the pattern. Kobayashi has used his better punching technique and hand speed to confound Brown, and has controlled this round almost entirely. The 1st round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Kobayashi. Round 2 Exchange of punches to start, nothing really hit though. They go into a clinch, and the pace disappears as both fighters try and get the advantage. Eventually the referee separates them. Jab from Kobayashi, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin.

Brown covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Kobayashi narrowly misses a right cross. Low kick from Brown, almost to the groin, although it didn't look intentional. They come together in a clinch again, and it returns to a stalemate. Not a great round by anyone's standard, but that flurry should mean that Kobayashi will take the round on points. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Kobayashi by 10-9. Round 3 Good start from Brown, taking Kobayashi down almost immediately! Kobayashi scrambles though, and gets back to his feet without taking any damage at all. Brown will be disappointed with that. Kobayashi comes in and throws two big right hands, but neither connects, and they put him off balance, allowing Brown to score with a nice right hook to the side of the head, crunching into the top of the ear.

Kobayashi tries a kick, but Brown catches the foot and uses it for a trip. Brown gets Kobayashi down for the second time, and this time is right on top of him in guard position. Brown throws some punches, then tries to pass. Kobayashi doesn't allow it, and tries to grab an armbar in response. Brown easily stops that, and throws some more punches.

The round ends like that, just as the referee was about to stand them back up. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Brown. Washichi Kobayashi wins the match, getting a score of 29-28 from all three judges.

Lass moves to butterfly guard and then tries to scramble back up, but White stops that by throwing another set of big punches, forcing Lass 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. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 White. Round 2 Lass and White circle to start.

White tries a big right hand, but it's easily defended. Lass 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 Lass fought it hard and gets back to guard within seconds. Butterfly guard by Lass, and White is having trouble generating any attacking threat. He'll probably win the round as he has been more aggressive, but Lass has defended the danger well.

WINNER BY TKO : Carlos Da Guia Agustin Gonzalez vs. Eli Harris Round 1 Gonzalez starts fast, firing off several crisp jabs that keep Harris on the back foot. A solid left hits gloves, but it's really just a set-up for Gonzalez to step in and use an uppercut. Not sure how much of it caught Harris, but certainly enough to to make him grab a clinch to stop any further punishment. Great start to the round from Gonzalez, it has been total domination so far. The clinch is broken, and the two fighters exchange some long range jabs that are easily avoided. Harris is looking a little lost so far, Gonzalez is controlling this round by virtue of his crisp accurate punches and higher aggression levels. Harris looks to be working an angle. Gonzalez leads with the left, then moves in and gets in a wicked right hand that grazes the cheek. Harris was fortunate there, if that had landed properly it would have been over. Harris comes back with a leg kick to set up a one-two combination, but the round is coming to a close and it's going to be too little too late. The one bright spot for Harris is that although Gonzalez clearly won the round, he didn't actually turn that dominance into any sort of real damage. End of round 1. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Gonzalez. Round 2 Slow start to the round, nearly a minute has gone by without anything but a few jabs finding gloves.

Gonzalez is the one advancing now, using a left hand jab to lead. He steps forward and fires off a big kick, aimed at the head. Harris ducks and moves out of range, but that was clearly intended to be a match-ender, Gonzalez was going for the knock out. It's pretty clear that he thinks that kicks are going to do the job in this round, and it has to be said that Harris is looking to have a hard time countering them. On top of that, the threat of the kicks is keeping Harris from getting in too close. Gonzalez stalks Harris, throwing the occasional high right hand, perhaps range-finding. Harris is circling, seeking an opening of some kind. He moves in from the left and is quick enough to get into the clinch without taking any shots. Gonzalez hits a knee, but takes one right back.

That was some lovely counter punching from Sirakov, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Yamazaki is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches.

Gilchrist hits two or three punches in a row, stinging the gloves of Carlton. The round draws to a close. It'll be interesting to see where the judges go with this, as Gilchrist clearly got the better strikes in throughout the round, but Carlton did probably show more aggression by virtue of his almost constant attempts to get the takedown. The round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Gilchrist. All three judges give a score of 30-27 to Shane Gilchrist. WINNER BY UNANIMOUS DECISION : Shane Gilchrist Ari Peltonen vs. Grzegorz Boniek Round 1 Boniek starts with a high kick, but Peltonen was well out of range.

Peltonen turns and tries to follow up immediately, but gets tagged with a wicked left hook that drops him to one knee. Peltonen is up quickly, causing Boniek, who was about to dive in, to back off. Replays show that the punch connected, but Peltonen was already going downward to duck the punch, so it wasn't as powerful as first thought.

UFC-KING Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 [CENTER]ALPHA-1 50 : Thunder Rav Kapur vs. Jean-Pierre Richelleau Round 1 Kapur leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Richelleau deals with it well. They clinch, but only for a few seconds before it gets broken. Both throw stiff jabs at the same time, neither connects properly. Back to the clinch. It has been a disjointed start to the round, the flow hasn't quite developed properly. Richelleau uses a knee to the ribs before backing Kapur up against the cage. Right hand from Kapur connects though, that was well timed. Richelleau breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Kapur was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Richelleau sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Kapur fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Richelleau hits a jab. Kapur responds with a huge kick that takes out Richelleau's legs, sending him crashing awkwardly to the ground. Kapur gives on top of him and fires off a barrage of punches. Richelleau tries to cover up, but he is getting obliterated by the sheer number of punches coming down. The referee pulls Kapur off, it's over! Kapur wins via 1st round TKO with the official time being 6:28. Rav Kapur via TKO in Round 1 Agustin Gonzalez vs. Datuk Ong Ka Ting Round 1 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Gonzalez forces Datuk back up against the cage, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Gonzalez is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Datuk clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Datuk gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Gonzalez seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Datuk who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Gonzalez had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Datuk seems to be growing in confidence over the past thirty seconds. He has just come up with four good separate straight rights, although I don't think any of them did too much damage. He moves in for another, but takes a wicked kick from Gonzalez. Datuk looks wobbly, and his hands drop. Gonzalez sees it, and comes in with a solid right hand that drops Datuk to the mat. Gonzalez follows up with more punches, and the referee has to get in there and stop it, Datuk was not defending himself properly. I think it's the kick that did the most damage, it seemed to scramble his brains. Official time of the TKO is 4:58 of the first round. Agustin Gonzalez via TKO in Round 1 Bill Brown vs. Naoki Itoh Round 1 Itoh starts fast, unleashing a bomb of a right hand, but Brown avoids it without too much trouble. Itoh isn't disheartened though, swinging two more huge punches, with Brown getting out the way each time, but being forced all over the place. Itoh finally backs off a little, breathing hard. That was quite a frantic start. Brown opts to use that, and comes in to throw some jabs. Itoh is backed up against the cage, covering up. Brown clinches. They struggle, and the fight enters a lull. Itoh hits a knee strike to the hip. Brown slips one leg behind Itoh and uses that as leverage for a big trip. Itoh landed hard, with Brown on top. They're in half guard. It's to Itoh's advantage that they're right next to the cage, that is blocking Brown from attacking the left hand side of the body. Itoh is forced into action to defend a kimura attempt. Brown tries to step over to mount, but Itoh keeps his legs in position and ends up almost rolled into a ball. Brown fires some stiff punches to the back, then one to the face. He reaches through and tries to secure an armbar, but has to be careful as he is in danger of getting picked off with a counter armbar too. Itoh doesn't appear to be trying that though, instead trying to shift his weight so that he can get back up. Brown isn't allowing it though, and gets a couple more punches in before settling back into half guard. Itoh ties him up in a snug clinch. The action halts, and time expires before Brown can get free. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Brown. Round 2 Brown 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 Itoh advancing. A sharp right misses, and Brown takes the opportunity to pull Itoh in to a tight clinch against the cage. Itoh tries to break free, but cannot. It looks like we know the strategies for this round already; Itoh wants to stand and bang, Brown wants to keep things at close quarters. Itoh tries for an elbow, but only succeeds in getting turned around so that he is now the one against the cage. Trip from Brown, and we're down to the ground. Brown has side control, but Itoh has landed with his left hand side against the cage, so that side of the body is basically safe for now. Brown will have to try to work the right-hand side, and starts by ramming a knee into the ribs. Itoh tries to squirm into a better position, but Brown puts a stop to that with a stiff elbow to the stomach. Brown tries to work a kimura on the right arm, but Itoh defends it. Itoh manages to bring a knee up and catch Brown in the side, something of a cheeky move given his position. Brown responds with five or six rapid-fire right hands to the face, but Itoh covers up and doesn't take any serious damage at all. Time is ticking away though, and so far Brown may be easily winning the round, but he is not taking full advantage of this great position. Brown tries to float over into a mount, but Itoh uses the cage to push away and manages to unbalance Brown enough to get to a kneeling position, then standing, albeit back into a clinch. A knee from Brown is the last action of the round. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Brown. Round 3 Brown leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Itoh deals with it well. They clinch, but only for a few seconds before it gets broken. Both throw stiff jabs at the same time, neither connects properly. Back to the clinch. It has been a disjointed start to the round, the flow hasn't quite developed properly.

They clinch briefly, but it goes nowhere. Looping right hand from Kikuchi, but it only caught Alois on the shoulder. Another kick connects from Alois, and that sets up a nice combination to the body. The accuracy of his kicks has been excellent so far, and is keeping Kikuchi from doing very much. Kikuchi looks for an opening. Right hand from Kikuchi, that one definitely registered, but I don't think it had much power behind it. The time ticks away without anything further of interest happening. The round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Alois. Round 2 Kikuchi tries to work an angle from the start, but is kept back by some sharp kicks, one landing painfully across the outside of the calf. Alois steps in and throws some punches, landing a crisp jab to the shoulder. Kikuchi lands a jab of his own, but gets hit with a vicious waist-high kick when stepping in to follow up. Good tactics so far from Alois, he is basically controlling the tempo and positioning of this fight through intelligent use of sharp, accurate kicks. Kikuchi comes in fast, faking left then going right, and gets close enough to throw some body blows. Alois gets in a right hand of his own, then a beauty of a high kick. It lands right on the ear, causing Kikuchi to back off quickly. If that had had more power, it might well have scored a knock out. The round is almost over. Alois has controlled this one, Kikuchi is finding it very difficult to find a way around those kicks. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-8 to Alois. Round 3 Alois and Kikuchi circle to start. Kikuchi throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Alois sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Alois 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. Kikuchi comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Alois 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 Alois's favour. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Alois. The official scores are: 30-26 (twice), 29-27 for Stafford Alois. Stafford Alois via Unanimous Decision Paulo Roberto Bezerra vs. Chojiro Goto Round 1 Slow start to the round, there's a lot of circling going on, not much contact though. Bezerra fakes a kick, then darts in to score with a left hand to the shoulder region. Goto almost catches Bezerra with a massive left hook. A big arcing kick from Bezerra catches Goto on the shoulder, it wasn't far away from landing on the side of the jaw. Goto storms in throwing a flurry of blows, but Bezerra dodges out of the way. A jab catches Goto on the cheek, then another big kick hits home, this time into the ribs. Bezerra is really using those big kicks well, they're both keeping Goto at bay and hurting him. Goto tries another attack, first working an angle away from the kicks then coming in with a couple of straight rights. Bezerra defends it well, parrying the punches away and moving to safety before Goto can unload with any bombs.

Goto throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Bezerra from coming inside. Goto works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Bezerra responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting.

Bezerra circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Goto blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Goto fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots.

The second round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Goto. Round 3 The round starts slowly, with both fighters circling, tentatively throwing out the occasional jab.

Goto gets a clubbing blow to the side of the head in, but takes a hard shot to the stomach in return.

They clinch up, and Goto manages to back Bezerra up against the cage. Goto takes a half step backward and throws a big right hand to the head, but Bezerra ducks under at the last second, scores with a pair of punches to the gut, then darts out of trouble before Goto can unload.
