OMEGA 6 (Southern Asia)

Heavyweight Match
#4 Bob Dozier (5-2) vs. #2 Stjepan Andric (8-4)
Dozier has the advantage while standing. Evenly matched on the ground.
Blurcat's Prediction: Bob Dozier via knock out.

Round 1
Andric leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Dozier 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. Dozier uses a knee to the ribs before backing Andric up against the ropes. Right hand from Andric connects though, that was well timed. Dozier breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Andric was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Dozier sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Andric fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. The two fighters come together in the center. Dozier leads with a left, but Andric easily avoids it and comes in close to throw some body shots. It all gets a bit scrappy, but it ends with Andric falling to the ground. Replays show that Dozier did catch him with a jab, but it clearly did very little damage, Andric had already stumbled while taking a step backward. Regardless of how it happened though, Andric is down, and Dozier is quick to rush in to capitalise. Dozier is firing off punches while kneeling across Andric's upper body in a half-mount, and there's not a lot Andric can do about it. He needs to get out of there, or at least pull guard, but can do neither as he can't get his hips free. Dozier rains down the punches even faster, and Andric is just getting pounded into oblivion; even though he managed to block three quarters of the shots coming in, that's still five or six good shots that have gotten through. Those five or six shots are enough for the referee at any rate, as he calls an end to the match, obviously feeling that Andric was getting overwhelmed by that barrage. Dozier wins via first round TKO at 6:45.

Bob Dozier ($700) beat Stjepan Andric ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 6:45 of round 1. (1 star)

Light Heavyweight Match
#3 Percy Catcher (7-2) vs. #2 Curt Kitson (11-3)
Evenly matched standing. Kitson had the advantage on the ground with strikes and submissions.
Blurcat's Prediction: Curt Kitson via knock out.

Round 1
Kitson starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Catcher 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. Catcher uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Kitson is forced back against the ropes. Catcher picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Kitson uses a couple of looping punches to make Catcher keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Catcher 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. Kitson scores with a low kick. About thirty seconds pass without any contact, and the crowd become a little restless. Catcher unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. The first round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Catcher by 10-9.

Round 2
An exchange of jabs doesn't go anywhere. Catcher fakes a kick, then darts in to score with a straight left before backing out fast to avoid a left-right combination from Kitson. They clinch, and Kitson winds up backed against the ropes. A couple of minor blows get exchanged, but it's turned into a bit of a stalemate. Catcher tries to push Kitson back, but can't. The referee waits a while, then separates them and gets them to resume. Kitson misses with a straight right. Catcher hits a standing kick, and Kitson is rocked, stumbling backwards and falling to the floor. Catcher leaps into action and fires off a barrage of right hands. The referee dives in and protects Kitson, bringing the fight to an end. The kick didn't knock Kitson out, but it left him stunned, and that was all that Catcher needed to finish the job. The official time of the TKO is 9:44 of round 2.

Percy Catcher ($3,500) beat Curt Kitson ($3,000) by T.K.O. in 9:44 of round 2. (2 stars)

Lightweight Match
#1 Marko Prochazka (11-2) vs. Datuk Ong Ka Ting (1-0)
Evenly matched standing. Datuk had the advantage on the ground with submissions.
Blurcat's Prediction: Datuk Ong Ka Ting via submission.

Round 1
Procházka throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Datuk throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Procházka steps back, throwing a right hand as he does to buy himself space. They circle, then move in again to exchange strikes, neither fighter getting a clear advantage. They come together again and the same result. It has become something of a stalemate at the moment. They come together to exchange strikes for the third time, and this time they wind up in a clinch. Datuk hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Procházka. They struggle all the way back, with Procházka ending up backed up against the ropes. Datuk hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Procházka stomps downward onto his foot. Procházka manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Datuk gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Procházka ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Procházka tries a high kick to start, but Datuk saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Datuk who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Procházka on the nose. Procházka hits a straight right, enough to stop Datuk from following up any further. The time expires with them standing. Not a great round for either of them or the crowd, it was very scrappy. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Datuk by 10-9.

Round 2
Flat start to the round, thirty seconds of circling without any actual contact. The fans begin to get a bit restless. Procházka is the first to try something, stringing together a couple of jabs and a low kick, but Datuk blocked the first two and avoided the latter. A lunge from Procházka is meant to set up a punch, but it's clumsy and just leaves him off balance. Datuk is quick to react, and gets a great shot to the side of the face in before Procházka 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 Procházka some problems later on. Procházka 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. Datuk is staying on it though, and glances three shots off the gloves of Procházka 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 Procházka 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. Procházka goes for a trip, but Datuk 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 Datuk 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 sees it 10-9 to Datuk.

Round 3
Datuk leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Procházka 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. Procházka uses a knee to the ribs before backing Datuk up against the ropes. Right hand from Datuk connects though, that was well timed. Procházka breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Datuk was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Procházka sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Datuk fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Procházka throws a stinging jab, landing just above the left eye. Datuk steps in and fires off one of his own, but Procházka bobs out of the way and scores with a pair of solid shots to the body. Datuk turns and swings, just as Procházka also unloads...and it's Procházka who connects first! Datuk's hands drop and he is on rubbery legs. Procházka follows up with a beauty of a right hand, and that drops Datuk. The referee doesn't even wait for Procházka to dive in to finish, he's seen enough, Datuk is clearly on Dream Street. This bout is over! Procházka wins via third round TKO at 6:34.

#1 Uwe Maier (8-1) vs. Xie Ming (4-0)
Maier has the advantage while standing with his strikes and while on the ground with his ground and pound tactics.
Blurcat's Prediction: Uwe Maier via decision.

Round 1
Ming hits some tentative punches, then comes in fast and forces Maier to back up against the ropes, where they clinch. Ming hits a nice body shot, but takes two short punches to the side of the head in return. Maier tries a trip, but it doesn't go anywhere. They separate, with Ming having to stay sharp to avoid a scorching right hand from Maier. Maier makes Ming back up against the ropes by throwing some looping punches. He comes in closer and hits a right hook to the body, getting a jab to the cheek in return. Maier throws another two punches, both to the body, then steps back to avoid an uppercut. Ming lets fly with a scorching punch though, and it catches Maier by surprise, putting him down! Ming follows up and starts raining down right hands. Maier covers up as best he can, but it's not enough as the referee pulls Ming off, the match is over. Ming wins via TKO at 4:50 of the first round.
