Round 1
Yenkini leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, McKenzie 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. McKenzie uses a knee to the ribs before backing Yenkini up against the ropes. Right hand from Yenkini connects though, that was well timed. McKenzie breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Yenkini was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from McKenzie sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Yenkini fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. McKenzie tries an ill-advised head kick, but Yenkini ducks and comes straight underneath it. Grabbing the leg, he lifts McKenzie up and then violently plants him into the ground with a slam. Yenkini dives in, but gets pulled into guard. Yenkini manages to push the guard apart, and leans over McKenzie, trapping one leg underneath his body. Bad position for McKenzie to be in, and Yenkini now starts throwing big lefts and rights. McKenzie tries to deflect them away but quite a few are hitting home. McKenzie tries to bring his free leg in to add some leverage, but Yenkini swats it aside and gets the full mount. More punches start raining down, and McKenzie is left just covering up to try and weather the storm. It's no use though, as the barrage of punches without answer convince the referee to call a halt to the action. Yenkini wins via TKO at 8:27 of the first round.

Blood has the adavantage while standing or on the ground, but Blood has a suspect chin.
Blurcat Prediction: Darin Blood via decision.

Round 1
Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Blood puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Dabrowski defended well. Straight right from Dabrowski 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, Blood probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Dabrowski 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 Blood. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Blood.

Round 2
Blood and Dabrowski circle to start. Dabrowski throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Blood sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Blood stalks him, forcing Dabrowski back up against the ropes. Blood doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Dabrowski throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Blood pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Dabrowski covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the ropes, Blood in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Blood 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. Dabrowski comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Blood 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 Blood's favour. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Blood.

Round 3
Two jabs from the left hand of Blood set up a hard waist-high kick, but Dabrowski steps back to avoid it. Nice attempt though. Blood moves in closer, bobbing and weaving, and looks to score with a looping right hand, but Dabrowski 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. Blood finds himself backed up against the ropes briefly, and has to scramble to safety to avoid a flurry of strikes. Dabrowski is working for position, and is currently looking the more composed of the two. They come together, both throwing punches. Blood gets a nice clean shot in, and Dabrowski stumbles backwards and falls to the floor. Blood is on top of him quickly, and unloads with two more big punches, both connect solidly. The referee jumps in and pulls him away before a third is thrown, this match is over by TKO. Replays show the referee may have been slightly early. The official time of the TKO is 2:49 of round 3.

Middle Heavyweight Match
#2 Denbe Ekiguchi (8-14-1) vs. #1 Dave Lennon (9-3)
Neither fighter has a strong advantage.
Blurcat Prediction: Dave Lennon via T.K.O.

Round 1
Lennon starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Ekiguchi 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. Ekiguchi uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Lennon is forced back against the ropes. Ekiguchi picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Lennon uses a couple of looping punches to make Ekiguchi keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Ekiguchi 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. Lennon scores with a low kick. Ekiguchi throws out a few jabs, nothing too dangerous though, Lennon easily avoided them. Ekiguchi unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. End of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Ekiguchi.

Round 2
The round begins, and it is Lennon who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Ekiguchi defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Lennon works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Ekiguchi ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Lennon 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 Ekiguchi. Interesting first minute of action, Lennon is looking particularly sharp. Ekiguchi tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Lennon back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Ekiguchi tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Lennon scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Ekiguchi with a body shot. They square up to each other in the center. Lennon throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Ekiguchi on the side of the head. Ekiguchi got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Lennon 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. Ekiguchi tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Lennon 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 Lennon.

Lennon fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Lennon clinches with Ekiguchi and pushes him back against the ropes. Ekiguchi gets in a knee, but a second attempt gets caught. Lennon uses that for leverage, and with only one leg remaining, Ekiguchi has no base left with which to stop Lennon drilling him with a big slam! Ekiguchi landed hard, but pulled guard, and will be thankful that he landed next to the ropes, which can be used to his advantage. Lennon drops a bomb of a right hand, smashing into the hands of Ekiguchi and forcing them back into his face. Another right hand finds its way through, landing right above the eye, stunning Ekiguchi.
