K-1: Igor Jurkovic (R2 - TKO) Pavel Zhuravlev Igor worked Pavel over throughout the first round, dropping him with a nice combo. To start the second round he dropped Zhuravlev and broke his nose, the ringside doctor stopped it.
K-1: Errol Zimmerman (R3 - Unanimous Decision) Mourad Bouzidi This is a grudge match of sorts as the two have met before and the finish was less than satisfactory. The first round was lots of action with Bouzidi fighting a bit more intelligently, but Zimmerman landed a few heavy shots before dropping Bouzii HARD with a hook that sent Bouzidi crashing to the ropes. The bell saved him. Bouzidi took a giant hook in the second round and fell flat on his face. The rest of the fight was all Zimmerman destroying Bouzidi. I'm in awe of Mark Miller. This is history, Mark not only came back from open heart surgery but worked like a surgeon himself, using his head movement to avoid Falin's first few strikes and land an incredible overhand right to KO Falin. Mighty Mo did his best against Kharitonov, but Kharitonov's hands were simply too fast and accurate, as were his clinch knees. Mo came in close and a right uppercut floored Mighty Mo. The first round was full of heated exchanges, Samedov came in very confident, but Ali Cenik was able to connect with a few giant shots and wobble Samedov. In the second round Ali Cenik landed some very big shots and was able to wobble Samedov. Samedov was laughing, but he is down possibly two rounds now. The third round was a very even round where things degenerated into a slug fest. The judges ruled the bout a draw. Great first round from both guys, Nieky pushed most of the pace, controlling the action. Holzken was able to use his reach to throw some nice jabs and kicks. Kyshenko found his range in the second round, absolutely dominating most of the round connecting with great combinations with his hands and throwing lots of kicks and knees. Holzken came back near the end of the round with a crazy left hook that rocked Kyshenko but didn't put him down. The third round was incredibly close, both guys fought very, very hard throwing everything at each other.
Has to be seen to be believed. Tommy Depret is a name a lot of people don't know, but he put forth an incredible fight against Siyar. Siyar is known to be a fast finisher and Depret gave him a lot of trouble on the ground, almost tapping him out a few times. Siyar was really hurting him in the second round but Depret would not give up. A few knees and some hammer fists by Siyar finally puts Depret away in the second. Great knock down drag out war. Saki was having problems with Guidon's reach in the first round, with Guidon effectively keeping Saki at bay for most of the round. Saki was still landing a lot of great shots. Round 2 saw Saki annihilate Guidon with strikes, knocking him down with a huge hook. Saki does a great job in the third round pressing the action and landing clean shots on Guidon. Guidon starts just throwing any kick he can think of, but it was too little too late.
