RennikKain076 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks JJ I enjoyed doing the write up but it takes a lot of time to write up a entire event and do each match with detail I was lucky that so many fights ended in round 1 lol. I plan on posting ppv cards with 8 to 10 fights and TV cards with 5 or 6 fights from here on and I think I will do play by play for most of the fights but for the Main Event and Co-Main event i'll do a write up. I'll be posting the line up for the next event shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFC-KING Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just a tip, You don't have to write-up every round, If you want an example look at Tommy J.'s WEFF diary or Crazedfan's DREAM diary, or hell even my BCF diaries at the later events.

RennikKain076 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I'll post the results of the latest GAMMA fight night along with the ppv. GAMMA Fight Night Main Event: FW- Scott Perkins (10-0) defeats Gustavo Bautista (19-9) via Unanimous Decision. LW- Eli Harris (6-2) defeats Milenko Rudonja (15-7) via Stoppage (cut) 4:58 round 4.

Undercard Mal Phe Roby 14-10 vs Julio Gutierrez 1-1 Round 1 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Roby forces Gutierrez back up against the ropes, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Roby is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Gutierrez clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Gutierrez gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Roby seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Gutierrez who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Roby had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Roby gets caught with a solid right hand out of nowhere, and is rocked. Gutierrez follows up with another one, and Roby looks in trouble all of a sudden. He is backed up against the ropes and Gutierrez is unloading. The punches are raining down, Roby is covering up. The referee has seen enough and stops the fight, clearly feeling that Roby was unable to defend himself intelligently. Gutierrez wins. Gutierrez wins via 1st round TKO with the official time being 3:16. Winner via TKO Julio Gutierrez Big win over a veteran of MMA in Roby, Julio is now 2-0 in GAMMA and looks like one to keep an eye on. "Smash Mouth" Derek South 9-7 vs Darrell Bruce 8-2 Round 1 The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Bruce fakes shooting in for a takedown, but South didn't buy it for a second. In comes Bruce from an angle to the right, but South 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. Bruce felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as South steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Bruce is forced back against the ropes, but to his credit, he did a good job defending those strikes and didn't seem to take any significant damage. South 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. Bruce responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. South clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Bruce 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. Bruce pushes South up against the ropes and clinches. Nothing comes from it. South scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Bruce. Nicely done. Bruce, realising that he is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put South on the back foot. South handles it well though, refusing to let Bruce 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 Bruce throwing increasingly desperate punches. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to South. Round 2 Bruce starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and South 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. South uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Bruce is forced back against the ropes. South picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Bruce uses a couple of looping punches to make South keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as South 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. Bruce scores with a low kick. Bruce glances at the referee, not sure why. South unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. End of round 2. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for South. Round 3 South isn't hanging around, right from the start Bruce is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Bruce circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but South 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 South, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Bruce is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. South really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Bruce was wide open for a moment there. South hits a high kick, catching Bruce on the shoulder. Jab from Bruce finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. South fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Bruce scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of South, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. The third round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 South. Round 4 South doesn't waste any time and throws two jabs to the face, but Bruce easily side-steps both and circles to the left. Bruce 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. Bruce leads with a right hand, then delivers a brutal uppercut, South had to step back quickly to avoid getting caught. He winds up back against the ropes, and Bruce doesn't relent, moving in fast to unload with a series of jabs. South got some of his own in, but the upper hand is definitely with Bruce. Vicious right hand! Out of nowhere, it caught South flush in the face, and he slumps down against the ropes. Bruce follows up with more punches, and the referee dives in to break it up. It's all over. South wasn't knocked out, but that one punch was a beauty, and it stopped him getting any sort of defence together to stop the following punches. Official time of the TKO is 1:44 of the fourth. Winner via TKO Darrell Bruce South looked good for 3 rounds in his GAMMA return but Bruce is a huge man with heavy hands and his right hand was more than South could handle. "Straight Edge" Kenny Magilton III 9-7 vs Marko Prochazka 14-10 Round 1 They meet in the center. Magilton hits a nice jab, a second misses. Procházka steps in close and hits a brutal body shot, causing Magilton to back up quickly. That was a really powerful shot. Procházka stalks Magilton, flicking occasional jabs. It looks like Procházka wants to stand and trade punches with Magilton. Procházka gets within striking distance and throws a bomb of a right hand, narrowly missing. Magilton fires off a raking left hook in response, but that is off target too. They meet and exchange punches. Magilton goes for the body, but gets tagged with a left hand to the side of the head. Magilton is rattled by it, but doesn't step off, instead throwing a couple of crisp jabs. Procházka throws another big punch, this time thundering it into Magilton's shoulder. They clinch. So far it looks like Magilton simply can't live with the power that Procházka has in his hands, you get the sense that if this continues, Magilton is going to wind up knocked out sooner or later. The clinch is broken, but within thirty seconds they are right back in it, this time leaning against the ropes. By the time that is broken, the round only has a few seconds left. The 1st round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Procházka. Round 2 Procházka starts fast, firing off several crisp jabs that keep Magilton on the back foot. A solid left hits gloves, but it's really just a set-up for Procházka to step in and use an uppercut. Not sure how much of it caught Magilton, but certainly enough to to make him grab a clinch to stop any further punishment. Great start to the round from Procházka, it has been total domination so far. The clinch is broken, and the two fighters exchange some long range jabs that are easily avoided. Magilton is looking a little lost so far, Procházka is controlling this round by virtue of his crisp accurate punches and higher aggression levels. They both seem to be looking for an opening, and it's creating a stalemate at the moment. Procházka leads with the left, then moves in and gets in a wicked right hand that grazes the cheek. Magilton was fortunate there, if that had landed properly it would have been over. Magilton 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 Magilton is that although Procházka clearly won the round, he didn't actually turn that dominance into any sort of real damage. The second round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Procházka. Round 3 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Procházka puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Magilton defended well. Straight right from Magilton 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, Procházka probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Magilton 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 Procházka. The round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Procházka by 10-9. Round 4 Slow start; nearly a full minute of circling, occasional fakes, and long-range jabs. Neither fighter is creating much. Procházka works an angle, but takes a low kick to the shin when he advances. They clinch, and end up with Magilton backed up against the ropes. Procházka gets a couple of right hands to the body, but his attempts at knee strikes are deflected by Magilton, who uses his legs well to defend. Procházka pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. Magilton gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Procházka follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Procházka 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. Magilton tags him with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. Magilton 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 fourth round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Procházka. Round 5 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 Procházka, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Procházka 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. Magilton covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. For a second it looked like Magilton was about to go for a takedown, but nothing came from it. Low kick from Magilton, 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 Procházka will take the round on points. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Procházka. The official scores are: 50-45 (twice), 49-46 for Marko Procházka. Winner via unanimous decision Marko Procházka A much needed win for Marko to break his 3 fight losing streak. Magilton is now 1-2 as a FW. MAIN CARD "Ripper" John Rivero 23-3 vs "The Big Dog" Dave Lennon 11-11 Round 1 Lennon starts strong, hitting a nice low kick and following in with a shot to the body. Rivero backs off, but just gets pushed up against the ropes. Lennon presses the advantage and works a nice hook to the body. Rivero responds with an attempted sweep, and when that doesn't work, a punch that lands behind the ear. Lennon gets in a low kick as he backs off, and the fight returns towards the center. Rivero throws a right hand, narrowly missing. Lennon almost seems to be inviting him on to throw punches, he could be trying to lure him into over-committing. Rivero throws a jab that connects, albeit without much power, but it causes Lennon to back up quickly, back toward the ropes. Rivero comes in quickly, throwing looping punches, but gets reckless and Lennon grabs the opportunity by nailing a big right cross! Rivero collapses in a heap, his left leg buckling underneath him in at an awkward angle. Lennon has knocked him out cold with a killer punch. Lennon wins via first round knock out at 2:43. Winner by KO Dave Lennon Oh my god! Lennon has done it again. The guy who cant buy a win over the mid level or lesser competition has once again played spoiler to one of MMA's biggest names. Raul Hughes, Shane Gilchrist twice, Aleksander Ivanov, and now John Rivero this guy is the ultimate spoiler. "Fury Awoken" Sukarno 8-3 vs "Hollywood" Ricky Heath 16-8 Round 1 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Sukarno puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Heath defended well. Straight right from Heath 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, Sukarno probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Heath 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 Sukarno. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Sukarno. Round 2 Flat start to the round, thirty seconds of circling without any actual contact. The fans begin to get a bit restless. Heath is the first to try something, stringing together a couple of jabs and a low kick, but Sukarno blocked the first two and avoided the latter. A lunge from Heath is meant to set up a punch, but it's clumsy and just leaves him off balance. Sukarno is quick to react, and gets a great shot to the side of the face in before Heath 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 Heath some problems later on. Heath 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. Sukarno is staying on it though, and glances three shots off the gloves of Heath 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 Heath 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. Heath goes for a trip, but Sukarno 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 Sukarno may prove decisive. As the round comes to an end, they wind up back in another clinch, with nothing coming of it. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Sukarno by 10-9. Round 3 Tentative start to the round, the fighters are circling. Sukarno throws out a couple of range-finding jabs, but they aren't anything that will trouble Heath. Kick to the thigh from Heath, but it lacked power. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Sukarno clinches with Heath and pushes him back against the ropes. Heath gets in a knee, but a second attempt gets caught. Sukarno uses that for leverage, and with only one leg remaining, Heath has no base left with which to stop Sukarno drilling him with a big slam! Heath landed hard, but pulled guard, and will be thankful that he landed next to the ropes, which can be used to his advantage. Sukarno stands, and uses his arms to push Heath's guard apart. Leaning down between the legs, he starts throwing vicious punches. Heath tries to bring his legs back in to pull guard again, while simultaneously covering up, but he is having trouble; Sukarno is using his body to keep the legs from coming in. More punches rain down, and Heath is starting to get really pounded. A big shot lands hard on the nose, then a left hand crunches into his cheek. The referee has seen enough and pulls Sukarno away, signalling the end of this match. Official time of the TKO is 1:35 of the third round. Winner by TKO Sukarno Impressive win for Sukarno who outclassed a dangerous fighter in Heath until he scored with some nasty gnp for the win. "Super Snake" Randy Carsley 16-4 vs "The Nightmare" Doug Hansen 22-9 Round 1 Carsley comes out fast and quickly backs Hansen up, all the way up against the ropes. Carsley 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. Hansen throws a low kick, then advances with some jabs, forcing Carsley to back off a little. They meet in the center and exchange strikes, with Carsley looking the crisper striker of the two, although without doing any real damage. Hansen shoots in for the takedown, but Carsley sprawls and eventually pushes free. Right hand from Carsley, then two jabs which both find their mark. Hansen bats away a third, then comes in hard and fast for a second takedown attempt. Carsley sprawls again, but gets pushed all the way up against the ropes. Hansen 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. Hansen tries for a trip, but Carsley avoids it and works free from the clinch. He returns to the center, clearly wanting a striking battle rather than a grappling match. Hansen follows, hands held high, and throws a couple of jabs. Carsley connects with one instead though, and then with a looping right hand that catches Hansen above the eye. He felt that, but doesn't go down. Best strike of the round so far. Hansen throws a low kick. Carsley comes in to strike again, but this time cannot sprawl quickly enough and gets taken down. Carsley pulls guard. Unfortunately for Hansen, 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 Carsley comfortably defends it until the round is over. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Carsley. Round 2 They circle each other. Hansen misses with a low kick, and Carsley darts in to hit a jab before retreating. They come together and exchange punches, both got a few shots in. Carsley is looking much lighter on his feet, and keeps moving in, hitting a few punches, then getting back out of range. Hansen is trying to catch him coming in, but doesn't have the timing quite right. It happens again. Carsley isn't getting much power on the punches, but he is getting ahead on points. Hansen tries to get in close, but Carsley is keeping moving, and isn't letting himself get cornered. Hansen looks to be working an angle. Carsley gets a solid punch in, catching Hansen just above the left eye. Hansen finally gets a clinch, forcing Carsley up against the ropes, but it's too little, too late as the round ends. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Carsley. Round 3 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 Carsley, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Carsley 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. Hansen covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. They both seem to be looking for an opening, and it's creating a stalemate at the moment. Low kick from Hansen, 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 Carsley will take the round on points. End of round 3. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Carsley. Round 4 Hansen comes out fast, and looks like he is aiming for a quick takedown, but Carsley stops that plan with some looping punches. Solid right hand from Carsley connects, and that's the best moment of the opening minute of the round. Hansen is mainly defending against punches, it looks like he is trying to work an angle to try for a takedown. Carsley seems to have noticed, as he is purposely positioning against that. Straight left from Carsley, then a low kick, then a wicked body shot. Hansen felt that, and backs off. Hansen tries to get in for a clinch, perhaps looking for a takedown from that position, but Carsley gets him to back off with some jabs. Carsley has really been able to stamp his gameplan on this round, Hansen has been blocked at every turn. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Carsley. Round 5 Bright start from Carsley, he bounds over and starts unloading with a flurry of jabs and straight rights, bobbing and weaving the entire time to avoid Hansen's counter punches. Hansen tries to score with a lunging overhand right, but Carsley side-steps it and catches him with a crunching punch to the jaw. Hansen backs off quickly, dazed, it's a surprise that he didn't go down from that. Carsley follows up, hoping to capitalise on the situation, and bombards Hansen with punches. Hansen covers up at first, then grabs Carsley and uses a clinch to prevent the attack from getting worse. They get stuck like that for a while, which works in Hansen's favour as it gives him plenty of time to recover properly. They are finally parted. Hansen goes looking for revenge, firing off several enormous punches, trying to take Carsley's head off, but Carsley is far too quick at the moment, and almost dances his way out of the way of each strike, tagging Hansen with flicked jabs as counters. Carsley's movement is noticeably better than Hansen, who is really struggling to generate any sort of meaningful attack simply because he is struggling to hit the constantly moving target that is Carsley. They exchange strikes in the center, and for the first time Hansen gets a few blows in, as Carsley looks to be tiring a little. It won't be enough to get Hansen the round though, Carsley has clearly won this on points and there's only a few seconds left. End of round 5. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Carsley. The three judges all give the match as 50-45 to Randy Carsley. Winner via unanimous decision Randy Carsley Two of the best ground fighters in the world fought a 25 minute stand up battle and Carsley clearly had the better striking. Big win but Carsley has already fallen to current WW champion Patrick Thomas twice so it probably wont mean much for the title picture. Luis Basora 19-5 vs Thorbjorn Rekdal 11-6-1 Round 1 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Rekdal puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Basora defended well. Straight right from Basora 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, Rekdal probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Basora 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 Rekdal. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Rekdal. Round 2 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 Basora that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. Rekdal narrowly misses a right cross. Rekdal ducks out of the way of a punch, then back steps quickly, just in time to avoid the uppercut that was coming. Better from Basora, although no damage has actually been done yet. There's a short period with not a lot happening. Rekdal and Basora come in close and exchange strikes. Down goes Rekdal! Replays show that Basora hit a vicious uppercut during that exchange, although it appears that he actually just went for broke and simply swung for the fences as hard as he could. It doesn't change the fact that Rekdal has been knocked out though. Basora wins via knock out at 2:44 of the second round. Winner via KO Luis Basora Coming off the tough KO loss at LW to former LW champ Alberto Hernandez Basora gets a nice win over the always game Rekdal at 170. "The Hammer" Luke Hilton 16-6 vs "Dangerous" Darin Blood 12-7 Round 1 Hilton comes out fast and quickly backs Blood up, all the way up against the ropes. Hilton throws a series of rights and lefts; none of the strikes to the head got through, but two nice body shots did.

"The Beast" Lefter Oktay 17-5 vs "The Executioner" Maarten De Vries 21-11 Round 1 They circle to start, both throwing a few tentative jabs. An uppercut misses its mark from Oktay, providing the first moment of real action. De Vries hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Oktay side-stepped to safety. A few punches get thrown, but there's a lack of real action to talk about. De Vries 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. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to De Vries. Round 2 Oktay starts out with a few straight rights, range-finding rather than actually dangerous. De Vries keeps out of their way. Oktay steps forward and tries to unload with a looping left, but De Vries moves to the side and fires off a powerful right hand of his own, landing above the left eye. Oktay doesn't go down, but definitely felt that shot. De Vries moves in closer and fires off two punches to the face and a big hook to the body. Oktay parried the first two, but the third hit home hard. De Vries begins to stalk Oktay, who may be slightly winded. They meet again in the center and exchange blows. Oktay hits a high jab but gets caught with another hard punch to the side of the head. Oktay clinches up, stopping De Vries from following up. It looks like Oktay needs to change his game plan, standing up and banging with De Vries is playing right into his opponent's hands, as De Vries clearly has the more powerful strikes in his arsenal, and Oktay is going to get floored sooner or later, judging by this round. The referee parts them from the clinch. De Vries continues to look ready to unleash some big punches. Oktay takes a takedown, then comes in much closer, throws a jab, and clinches back up. Oktay looks like he is going to grapple, stopping De Vries from throwing bombs. Oktay gets in a few short punches to the ribs. The round ends with them still in the clinch. De Vries 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 2nd round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to De Vries by 10-9. Round 3 The fighters come together right in the center. Oktay throws out a jab, but De Vries bobs out of the way and uses a right hand to glance a blow off the side of the ribs in response. De Vries works an angle and storms in suddenly with three crisp jabs and a looping overhand punch, Oktay covered up quickly but at least one of the jabs hit home. De Vries is making Oktay look sluggish in comparison, such is the speed and crispness with which he is delivering strikes. Oktay hits a low kick before back-pedalling to avoid a clubbing blow. De Vries pushes Oktay up against the ropes and clinches. Nothing comes from it. They meet in the center to exchange a flurry of strikes that gets the crowd on their feet. De Vries got slightly the better of it, he definitely snuck through a right hand that rocked Oktay slightly. Oktay initiates a clinch, and the action grinds to a halt. Oktay looks out of ideas, he is being repeatedly lured into these exchange of strikes, but De Vries is clearly winning them. Oktay needs to find some way to deal with them. Not much time left in this round. The referee separates them. De Vries tries a speculative high kick, but Oktay saw it coming and was well out of range by the time it came. Oktay tries to work an angle, but De Vries is having none of it and fires off a straight right hand to keep him from stepping in. Comfortable round for De Vries, he will probably be disappointed not to have done more damage given his dominance of the striking in this round. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to De Vries. Round 4 Oktay starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and De Vries 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. De Vries uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Oktay is forced back against the ropes. De Vries picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Oktay uses a couple of looping punches to make De Vries keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as De Vries 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. Oktay scores with a low kick. For a second it looked like Oktay was about to go for a takedown, but nothing came from it. De Vries unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. End of round 4. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for De Vries. Round 5 As the round begins, it's noticeable that Oktay still looks pretty wobbly, some of the shots he has taken so far seem to have taken their toll. Can De Vries capitalise? De Vries advances and throws a solid right, hitting gloves. A left hook gets parried. A crisp jab finds its way through and tags Oktay above the right eye. That won't help. Oktay puts together a nice sequence, following a one-two combination with a meaty right hook. De Vries dealt with it well, parrying or avoiding each one. De Vries sneaks a right hand in under the guard, landing just below the throat. The referee tells him to avoid hitting there. Oktay finds an energy spurt and forces De Vries back with a flurry of jabs. His head may be beginning to clear. De Vries hits a right cross, then gets pulled into a clinch. That wastes a whole heap of time, and by the time they are broken apart by the referee, the time for the round is almost over. De Vries will win this round on points, but he will be disappointed that he couldn't finish a rocked Oktay off. The fifth round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to De Vries. The three judges all give the match as 50-45 to Maarten De Vries. Winner via unanimous decision Maarten De Vries Shockingly one sided victory for De Vries. One has to wonder how much more Oktay has in him. He looks like a shell of the man who beat Raul Hughes twice, James Foster, Tim Boyer, and Harry Milne. MAIN EVENT "Sugar Rush" Brandon Sugar 15-8 vs "Lights Out" Roger Nights 18-4 Both men are riding big win streaks and both look confident coming out to the ring. Sugar looks a little nervous but you can tell he's focused on the task at hand. Nights looks very intense since his fall from grace as the FW king he's vowed that he'll take over the LW division and a win here would be a huge step in that direction and he knows it. Round 1 Nights takes the center of the ring right away Sugar hangs back and throws some leg kicks which are checked by Nights. Nights comes forward ready to exchange and Sugar surprisingly gives him what he wants. Both men go toe to toe for 30 seconds Sugar showing much improved stand hangs right in there with the world class kickboxer. Nights throws a missed uppercut and Sugar smashes him with a hard right hook that stumbles Nights. Sugar is winning the stand up thus far without a doubt. Nights quickly shakes off the hard punch and throws a hard high kick that nearly caught Sugar right on the jaw but it just missed. Nights hits sugar with a nice straight left and a hard body kick before Sugar catches his second kick attempt and trips him to the ground. Sugar gets side control right away. He hits some elbows to the body of Nights and gets a arm. He has it! Nights arm is caught in a tight armbar this will be hard to escape. But he does Nights just managed to roll at the last second and Sugar lost it that was close. Sugar stands looking to drop some bombs on Nights but he is kept back by some hard up kicks one which catches him right on the nose. thats the end of the round. 10-9 Sugar Round 2 Nights comes out bouncing on his toes using excellent footwork something he didnt do in round 1. Sugar takes the center of the ring and shoots for a takedown but Nights pushes him off and hits a hard uppercut. Sugars nose is bleeding badly that up kick in round one looks to have broken it and that uppercut didnt do any favors for it. Sugar looks much more weary about trading with Nights than he did in round one. Nights comes in with a high kick followed by a left jab and a straight right. Sugar blocked each of them however and scored with a jab of his own. Sugar looks to create distance but Nights isnt having it he rushes in and grabs a Thai Clinch he scores with three hard knees to the body and nice elbow that cut Sugar across the forehead. Sugar lands a hard low kick right on the knee of Nights and another Nights better check those. Sugar shoots for a single leg and pushes Nights back against the ropes but he cant manage to get the takedown. Sugar looks to work some dirty boxing from here but Nights has other plans as he pushes Sugar away and nearly takes his head off with a brutal uppercut. Sugar's eyes roll up into the back of his head and his body falls to the ground. This one is over. At 3:17 of round 2. Winner via KO Roger Nights Great fight between these two warriors. Sugar fought hard and clearly took round one from Nights but when Nights got comfortable in round 2 it was only a matter of time until Sugar hit the floor. Either Nights or Eli Harris will be next in line for a shot at Sinal Shomen.

RennikKain076 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Just a tip, You don't have to write-up every round, If you want an example look at Tommy J.'s WEFF diary or Crazedfan's DREAM diary, or hell even my BCF diaries at the later events. Yeah you guys do a good job but I personally like play by play myself I dont really want to do a overview of what happend if I do a write up i'd rather write it in a play by play style just with my own twists mixed in for added excitment. Thats why im just going to copy the play by play from the game for most of the fights and for the main event and sometimes co main event i'll write my own stuff.

RennikKain076 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Little late on posting but here it is! Jack Humphreys suffered a injury in training prior to the fight he has been replaced by Uwe Maier. GAMMA: Durand vs Hughes Undercard Hennig Olsen 14-10 vs Gordon Idle 13-9 Round 1 Slow start to the round, there's a lot of circling going on, not much contact though. Olsen fakes a kick, then darts in to score with a left hand to the shoulder region. Idle almost catches Olsen with a massive left hook. A big arcing kick from Olsen catches Idle on the shoulder, it wasn't far away from landing on the side of the jaw. Idle storms in throwing a flurry of blows, but Olsen dodges out of the way. A jab catches Idle on the cheek, then another big kick hits home, this time into the ribs. Olsen is really using those big kicks well, they're both keeping Idle at bay and hurting him. Idle tries another attack, first working an angle away from the kicks then coming in with a couple of straight rights. Olsen defends it well, parrying the punches away and moving to safety before Idle can unload with any bombs. Olsen hits another kick, this time to the thigh, setting it up with a couple of raking punches. That's the last significant action of the round, a round that Olsen has dominated with kicks. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Olsen by 10-9. Round 2 Olsen starts brightly, almost hunting Idle down by stalking him around the ring. Idle throws some jabs, but they don't have the range to hit. Olsen hits the first good strike, slicing a nasty-looking kick to the hip area. Idle throws a left hook in response, but it is easily parried. Olsen hits another kick, this time to the calf of Idle's front leg. The kicks that Olsen has been throwing are looking really good, they're sharp, accurate, and difficult to see coming. Idle will need to figure out a counter, as currently he is being picked apart. Idle moves in quickly and grabs a clinch. They struggle like that for a full minute, exchanging short, sharp blows, but without doing any real damage. The referee gets them to part. Idle tags Olsen with a straight left. Olsen ducks a second one, hits a jab, then whips out a quick kick that hits perfectly to the inside of the knee of the front leg. The leg buckles, and Idle is down to one knee briefly, but quickly up before Olsen can take his head off with another kick. Idle is limping slightly, that kick was beautifully judged. Idle throws a couple of big right hands, but they're easily avoided. Olsen starts working angle to throw more low kicks, Idle is keeping away from them. Olsen seems content not to push the action too much, he looks a bit tired from throwing all those kicks. The round ends without further major action. The round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Olsen by 10-9. Round 3 A fizzing right hand from Olsen opens the round; it didn't find its intended target of Idle's chin, but it did land hard on the left shoulder instead. Idle fights back with a jab, but takes a hard shot to the body after leaning in too far. Olsen pins him to the ropes with a quick burst, and unloads with lefts and rights. Idle looks for a moment like he may be about to get overwhelmed, especially after a right hand appears to hit flush on the chin, but he recovers well and works his way back to the center. Olsen is looking the more confident of the two by far. He smells blood, and comes in looking for a big right hand, only to walk right into a takedown. Idle had to time that perfectly, and did. Olsen doesn't pull guard, instead scrambling, ending up onto his knees, with Idle taking his back! Idle tries to go for a choke, but Olsen bucks and twists, scrambling back to his feet and backing off. A big right hand and a high kick prevent Idle from following too closely. After that frenetic minute of action, things die down, with the fighters circling. Olsen scores with two leg kicks, Idle hits a tasty right hand to the body, but otherwise nothing much happens for the next couple of exchanges. Indeed, the clock runs down and the round ends without further noteworthy events. The 3rd round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Olsen. Round 4 Idle comes out fast, and looks like he is aiming for a quick takedown, but Olsen stops that plan with some looping punches. Solid right hand from Olsen connects, and that's the best moment of the opening minute of the round. Idle is mainly defending against punches, it looks like he is trying to work an angle to try for a takedown. Olsen seems to have noticed, as he is purposely positioning against that. Straight left from Olsen, then a low kick, then a wicked body shot. Idle felt that, and backs off. Idle tries to get in for a clinch, perhaps looking for a takedown from that position, but Olsen gets him to back off with some jabs. Olsen has really been able to stamp his gameplan on this round, Idle has been blocked at every turn. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Olsen. Round 5 Touch of gloves starts the round. Olsen comes in quickly, and unloads with a beauty of a combination, two jabs, a hook, a body punch and an uppercut. One of the jabs and the body shot definitely got through, the others were blocked. Idle backs off, only offering a wayward right hand in response. They circle, then Olsen once again comes in with an aggressive rush. They exchange blows in a flurry, with Olsen bobbing and weaving excellently while throwing out crisp jabs. Idle got a leg kick in, but his jabs didn't find their mark. Olsen is relying on his superior striking skills so far, and it is paying dividends, Idle is getting picked apart and is looking increasingly unable to to contend with his opponent's better technique. Olsen throws a low kick, and that is really the first mistake of the round from him, as it is sloppy and allows Idle to move in and grab a clinch. Idle forces Olsen back against the ropes, and is clearly happy to have gained a position where Olsen cannot unload with strikes as effectively. Idle hits a knee, then gets three or four small punches in to the side of the head. Not much power in them though. Olsen sneaks in an elbow, and then attempts to get free, to no avail. Idle goes for a trip, but Olsen pushes free and quickly gets back to the center. Idle keeps his distance for a few moments to recover his composure, then gets ready to fight again. Olsen works an angle, throwing quick jabs all the time, then switches stance and hits a long looping punch that finds gloves. A right hand follows up though, and that does find the mark, causing Idle to throw a wild haymaker in response. Olsen tries to capitalise with a further flurry, and hits a nice left hook, but Idle soon has them back in a clinch. That goes on for a while, until the clock runs down. End of round 5. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Olsen. Henning Olsen wins, with a score of 50-45 from two judges, 49-46 from the other. Winner via decision Henning Olsen Olsen picks up the win and with this loss Idle will be released. Vincent Chapin 16-14 vs Terry Catt 0-1 Round 1 Chapin misses with a right hand, and leaves himself open to a left hook. Chapin goes down, although replays confirm that it was a stumble, Catt was a few inches away from connecting with that left. Catt tries to quickly mount Chapin to capitalise, but doesn't get there in time, Chapin is already half way back up. They enagage in a fairly ragged scramble for supremacy and Chapin slips out and gets his back! Chapin gets one arm in and snakes it around the throat of Catt, squeezing his wind-pipe shut. Catt tries to pull the arm free, but can't, and so rolls over in a last-ditch effort to break free. It is to no avail though, as that allows Chapin to get a body-scissors in too. With no alternatives left, Catt taps out. Chapin wins via rear choke submission at 0:40 of the first round. Winner via submission Vincent Chapin Nice GAMMA return for Chapin expect to see him fight a more experienced fighter next time out to see exactly what he has to offer. Floyd Haywood 9-5 vs Marcus Speed 10-7 Round 1 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Haywood puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Speed defended well. Straight right from Speed 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, Haywood probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Speed 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 Haywood. The 1st round ends. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Haywood. Round 2 Haywood and Speed circle to start. Speed throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Haywood sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Speed comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows Haywood to slip a nice jab in, catching Speed just underneath the right eye. Haywood comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Speed misses with a right cross, then backs off. Haywood stalks him, forcing Speed back up against the ropes. Haywood doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Speed throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Haywood pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Speed covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the ropes, Haywood in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Haywood 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. Speed comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Haywood 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 Haywood's favour. The 2nd round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Haywood. Round 3 The round starts slowly, with both fighters circling, tentatively throwing out the occasional jab. Haywood is the first to make a positive move, stepping in to throw a right hand, although he probably wishes that he hadn't, as Speed picks him off with a crisp jab to the cheek. Haywood throws a wild punch as a counter, but Speed ducks and backs off out of range. They meet again in the center for an exchange of punches. Haywood gets a clubbing blow to the side of the head in, but takes a hard shot to the stomach in return. The early pattern seems to be that Haywood is looking for big punches, Speed is happy to avoid them and use quick counter punches instead. They clinch up, and Haywood manages to back Speed up against the ropes. Haywood takes a half step backward and throws a big right hand to the head, but Speed ducks under at the last second, scores with a pair of punches to the gut, then darts out of trouble before Haywood can unload. Haywood may need to think about changing tactics, Speed is looking far sharper in these striking battles, and is beginning to control the pace and tempo of the round. Haywood fakes a right hand, then shoots out a low kick, catching Speed on the thigh. Speed presses forward for the first time, getting in close and using a couple of jabs to the body. Haywood gets a nice left hook in, glancing off the gloves, and then clinches up. Time ticks away and the round ends just a few seconds after the referee separates them. End of round 3. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Speed. Round 4 The two fighters circle. Haywood flicks out a couple of jabs, then an unconventinal looping right hand. Speed easily side-steps it, but trips and falls to the ground! He is up quickly, before Haywood could get in. Replays confirm that it was purely a stumble, the punch was well wide of the mark. Speed moves in, ducks under a big right hand, and gets two crisp jabs in before getting smothered into a clinch. One of those jabs landed hard, Haywood is a little rattled. They struggle in the clinch, both throwing small punches to the back and ribs. The referee separates them. Haywood forces Speed back up against the ropes, and starts throwing jabs. He looks to be keeping Speed in position, waiting to unload a big punch. Haywood does, lunging in with a huge right cross, but Speed saw it coming and goes underneath it, scoring with a right hand to the gut on the way past. Haywood turns and tries to follow up immediately, but gets tagged with a wicked left hook that drops him to one knee. Haywood is up quickly, causing Speed, who was about to dive in, to back off. Replays show that the punch connected, but Haywood was already going downward to duck the punch, so it wasn't as powerful as first thought. Haywood throws a high kick, but it doesn't do anything but cause Speed to step back. The time expires without anything further of note happening. End of round 4. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Speed. Round 5 Haywood 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. Speed steps in and throws some punches, landing a crisp jab to the shoulder. Haywood 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 Speed, he is basically controlling the tempo and positioning of this fight through intelligent use of sharp, accurate kicks. Haywood comes in fast, faking left then going right, and gets close enough to throw some body blows. Speed gets in a right hand of his own, then a beauty of a high kick. It lands right on the ear, causing Haywood to back off quickly. If that had had more power, it might well have scored a knock out. The round is almost over. Speed has controlled this one, Haywood is finding it very difficult to find a way around those kicks. End of round 5. Blurcat.com gives that one to Speed by 10-9. The judges scores are unanimous, and give a score of 48-47 to Marcus Speed. Winner via decision Marcus Speed Haywood took the first two rounds and Speed showed great heart and determination in coming back to take the last three rounds. Speed already owns two wins over current featherweight champion Go Yamamoto with this win he'll need to decide if he wants to keep fighting the best at lightweight or if he wants to move down in weight. Main Card Hiro Arai 22-8 vs Steve Mason 7-10 Round 1 Mason doesn't exactly disguise his intentions for this round, going right to the center and motioning for Arai to come and trade blows.

Arai hits a nice jab, then goes to clinch. Mason stops that with a powerful right hand to the body, then a fizzing left hook that glances off the side of the head. An attempt at a knock out right hand finds nothing but gloves.

Mason throws another big punch, narrowly missing, but does score with a follow up jab, landing just above the right eye. Arai returns fire with a pair of jabs, both finding gloves.

Morrison tries to push forward to complete the takedown, but Stiles manages to pull them all the way back to the ropes before ultimately going down.

That exchange really showed the difference between the two fighters; Goto looks light on his feet and very agile, O'Donnell looks slow and sluggish by comparison.

Goto darts in again, and gets in a nice flurry. O'Donnell manages to hit a crisp jab in return, but one of Goto's punches caught him above the eye, leaving a mark, so he came off the worse from that exchange.

Undercard Kenny Magilton III 9-8 vs Mario de Souza 18-14 Round 1 A touch of gloves to start the round, and we're underway.

They get close to each other and end up in a clinch, from which de Souza manages to get the better position, pushing Magilton up against the ropes. Right hand to the ribs from de Souza. Magilton hits a couple of knees to the side. There's a struggle for supremacy going on, it's difficult to see who is winning it. de Souza tries a knee of his own, but that is the opportunity that Magilton was waiting for and he sweeps the standing leg to take de Souza down to the ground, in side control.

Watson is relying on his superior striking skills so far, and it is paying dividends, Whelan is getting picked apart and is looking increasingly unable to to contend with his opponent's better technique.

Whelan forces Watson back against the ropes, and is clearly happy to have gained a position where Watson cannot unload with strikes as effectively. Whelan hits a knee, then gets three or four small punches in to the side of the head. Not much power in them though. Watson sneaks in an elbow, and then attempts to get free, to no avail. Whelan goes for a trip, but Watson pushes free and quickly gets back to the center. Whelan keeps his distance for a few moments to recover his composure, then gets ready to fight again.

A right hand follows up though, and that does find the mark, causing Whelan to throw a wild haymaker in response. Watson tries to capitalise with a further flurry, and hits a nice left hook, but Whelan soon has them back in a clinch. That goes on for a while, until the clock runs down. End of round 1.

He steps forward and tries to get a clinch, but Watson keeps away from it and continues to flick quick jabs out. Whelan is really getting schooled so far, Watson's hand speed and technique have allowed him to completely control everything about this round, Whelan hasn't been able to generate anything of note. Whelan tries to change that by coming after Watson, but Watson meets him in the center and exchanges punches, again winning the encounter comfortably. The final minute of the round sees Whelan try two more times, and in neither can he manage to break Watson's control. End of round 2. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Watson.

The referee separates them, but the time is ticking away and this round looks like it's going to the judges. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Watson. Round 4 The round begins, and it is Watson who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Whelan defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Watson works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Whelan ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Watson 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 Whelan. Interesting first minute of action, Watson is looking particularly sharp. Whelan tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Watson back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched.

Whelan throws out a few jabs, nothing too dangerous though, Watson easily avoided them. They square up to each other in the center. Watson throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Whelan on the side of the head. Whelan got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Watson has probably done enough to win the round, but it has turned quite scrappy since the clinch against the ropes, both will probably be slightly unhappy with that. Whelan tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Watson defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Watson. Round 5 Watson starts fast, firing off several crisp jabs that keep Whelan on the back foot. A solid left hits gloves, but it's really just a set-up for Watson to step in and use an uppercut. Not sure how much of it caught Whelan, but certainly enough to to make him grab a clinch to stop any further punishment. Great start to the round from Watson, it has been total domination so far. The clinch is broken, and the two fighters exchange some long range jabs that are easily avoided. Whelan is looking a little lost so far, Watson is controlling this round by virtue of his crisp accurate punches and higher aggression levels. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Watson leads with the left, then moves in and gets in a wicked right hand that grazes the cheek. Whelan was fortunate there, if that had landed properly it would have been over. Whelan 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 Whelan is that although Watson clearly won the round, he didn't actually turn that dominance into any sort of real damage. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Watson. The official scores are: 50-45 (twice), 49-46 for Mike Watson. Mike Watson retains the GAMMA Light Heavyweight title.

Thomas looks more confident after that, and puts together a nice chain of strikes, ending with a scathing low kick that catches Garner on the outside of the calf. He definitely felt that. Time is running out; Thomas will probably take this round on the judges' score cards, primarily due to that one dubious knock down. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Thomas. Round 5 Thomas starts fast, squeezing a jab past the guard and catching Garner above the right eye. Garner swings and misses with a big right hand, which puts him off balance long enough for Thomas to floor him with a hard left. Thomas goes to follow up, but gets caught in the guard position. The replay shows that the punch wasn't actually that powerful, it looked worse than it was because Garner was already falling slightly. Thomas looks to pound out a victory, throwing some big punches. Garner's guard prevents him from getting his body behind the shots though, and none of them have enough power to really trouble Garner. A couple do get through and hit home though. Garner reaches up and smothers Thomas into a clinch. He fights free, with some difficulty, and starts punching away again. Garner parries the shots away. Unfortunately the round enters a lull, with Thomas unable to pass guard and so being content just to throw punches from there, while Garner is unwilling to risk letting Thomas pass guard. We enter the final thirty seconds of the round before Thomas gets a breakthrough, managing to power through the guard and mount Garner! Garner covers up and tries to buck and roll his hips to desperately try and dislodge Thomas. It doesn't work, but it does unbalance him enough to reduce the amount of punches being thrown. Some do come raining down though, and Garner is probably relieved when the round ends with him not having taken too much damage. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Thomas by 10-9. The official scores are: 50-45 (twice), 49-46 for Patrick Thomas. Patrick Thomas retains the GAMMA Welterweight title.

Kanchelskis 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 Kanchelskis's favour. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Kanchelskis.

Paul Duffell 14-11-2 vs Kenneth Simmons 8-3 Round 1 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Simmons puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Duffell defended well. Straight right from Duffell 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, Simmons probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Duffell 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 Simmons. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Simmons by 10-9. Round 2 The round starts slowly, with both fighters circling, tentatively throwing out the occasional jab. Duffell is the first to make a positive move, stepping in to throw a right hand, although he probably wishes that he hadn't, as Simmons picks him off with a crisp jab to the cheek.

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

Duffell steps forward and tries to unload with a looping left, but Simmons moves to the side and fires off a powerful right hand of his own, landing above the left eye. Duffell doesn't go down, but definitely felt that shot. Simmons moves in closer and fires off two punches to the face and a big hook to the body.

Duffell hits a high jab but gets caught with another hard punch to the side of the head. Duffell clinches up, stopping Simmons from following up. It looks like Duffell needs to change his game plan, standing up and banging with Simmons is playing right into his opponent's hands, as Simmons clearly has the more powerful strikes in his arsenal, and Duffell is going to get floored sooner or later, judging by this round. The referee parts them from the clinch. Simmons continues to look ready to unleash some big punches. Duffell takes a takedown, then comes in much closer, throws a jab, and clinches back up. Duffell looks like he is going to grapple, stopping Simmons from throwing bombs. Duffell gets in a few short punches to the ribs. The round ends with them still in the clinch.
