OMEGA 5 (Eastern Asia)

Heavyweight Match
#4 Manol Sirakov (4-6) vs. #5 Stanislaw Lipnicki (7-6)
Neither fighter has a strong advantage when standing or on the ground. Sirakov is the better athlete.
Blurcat's Prediction: Manol Sirakov via knock out.

Round 1
Sirakov leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Lipnicki 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. Lipnicki uses a knee to the ribs before backing Sirakov up against the ropes. Right hand from Sirakov connects though, that was well timed. Lipnicki breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Sirakov was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Lipnicki sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Sirakov fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Lipnicki leads with a right hand, then delivers a brutal uppercut, Sirakov had to step back quickly to avoid getting caught. He winds up back against the ropes, and Lipnicki doesn't relent, moving in fast to unload with a series of jabs. Sirakov got some of his own in, but the upper hand is definitely with Lipnicki. Vicious right hand! Out of nowhere, it caught Sirakov flush in the face, and he slumps down against the ropes. Lipnicki follows up with more punches, and the referee dives in to break it up. It's all over. Sirakov 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. Lipnicki wins via 1st round TKO with the official time being 4:26.

Heavyweight Match
Mugur Boc (2-0) vs. Kevin Portman (2-2)
Boc had the better striking game while standing, and has the better ground game with his ground and pound tactics.
Blurcat's Prediction: Mugur Boc via decision.

Round 1
The round begins, and it is Boc who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Portman defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Boc works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Portman ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Boc 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 Portman. Interesting first minute of action, Boc is looking particularly sharp. Portman tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Boc back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Portman tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Boc scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Boc with a body shot. They square up to each other in the center. Boc throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Portman on the side of the head. Portman got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Boc 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. Portman tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Boc 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 Boc by 10-9.

Round 2
They circle to start, both throwing a few tentative jabs. An uppercut misses its mark from Portman, providing the first moment of real action. Boc hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Portman side-stepped to safety. A few punches get thrown, but there's a lack of real action to talk about. Boc 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 gives that one to Boc by 10-9.

Round 3
Boc hits a solid left, then a right. Portman felt both of them, and backs off a little. Boc charges right in to follow up though, and unleashes a powerful right hook, and Portman took it flush on the chin! Boc doesn't even bother following up on that, because Portman was out cold from the instant that that hit. Incredible punch. Boc wins via 3rd round knock out with the official time being 0:23.

Mugur Boc ($400) beat Kevin Portman ($400) by Knock Out in 0:23 of round 3. (1 star)

Heavyweight Match
#6 Barry Strachan (3-5) vs. #2 Rav Kapur (5-0)
Kapur has a 5-inch height advantage. Kapur is the better fighter when standing and when on the ground.
Blurcat's Prediction: Rav Kapur via decision.

Round 1
Kapur isn't hanging around, right from the start Strachan is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Strachan circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Kapur 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 Kapur, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Strachan is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Kapur really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Strachan was wide open for a moment there. Kapur hits a high kick, catching Strachan on the shoulder. Jab from Strachan finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Kapur fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Strachan scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Kapur, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. End of round 1. Blurcat.com gives that one to Kapur by 10-9.

Round 2
The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Strachan forces Kapur back up against the ropes, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Strachan is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Kapur clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Kapur gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Strachan seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Kapur who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Strachan had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Strachan goes down! It came out of absolutely nowhere, Kapur hit a huge punch that Strachan never saw coming. He is dazed, and that gives Kapur the chance to follow up. A clubbing blow from Kapur connects, hitting home across the left cheek. Kapur gets into full mount, Strachan is in enormous trouble from this position. Right hands rain down, and Strachan can only cover up. One or two got through though, and there's blood coming from a cut below his left eye. Kapur pulls back and throws an absolute bomb, Strachan brought his hands up to block but could do almost nothing against it, that had power to spare. Strachan looks groggy, and that allows Kapur to start throwing a barrage of rights and lefts to the face. The referee has seen enough, he doesn't think Strachan can defend himself, this match is over. Kapur wins via second round TKO at 8:22.

Rav Kapur ($4,400) beat Barry Strachan ($1,000) by T.K.O. in 8:22 of round 2. (2 stars)

Lightweight Main Event
#2 Cory Brewer (8-4-1) vs. #3 Luke Hilton (5-1)
Neither fighter has a strong advantage when standing or on the ground.
Blurcat's Prediction: Luke Hilton via knock out.

Round 1
Right hand from Brewer was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Hilton. Brewer follows up by coming in close, but Hilton is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. Hilton clinches with Brewer and pushes him back against the ropes. Brewer gets in a knee, but a second attempt gets caught. Hilton uses that for leverage, and with only one leg remaining, Brewer has no base left with which to stop Hilton drilling him with a big slam! Brewer landed hard, but pulled guard, and will be thankful that he landed next to the ropes, which can be used to his advantage. Hilton tries to pass the guard. Brewer is holding it quite high, which is helping. Hilton throws a couple of loose punches, then grabs the legs and turns Brewer over. Brewer tries to scramble free, but Hilton is already on top of him and has his back! Hilton doesn't waste any time, he starts throwing bombs with both left and right fists, slamming them into the side of Brewer'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 Brewer, then another to the side of the nose. That's all the referee wants to see, he pulls Hilton off. Official time of the TKO is 1:34 of the first.

Luke Hilton ($1,400) beat Cory Brewer ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 1:34 of round 1. (2 stars)
