Sunday, Week 4, September 1997
I hired a bunch of new male fighters with light heavyweight, Daniel Hornsby, probably being the best. Xie Ming's loss to the now departed Davis Spyrou leaves my middleweight title vacant. A trivia note for later: Davis Spyrou held the middleweight title for one day before leaving for ALPHA-1, which was due to the fact that I scheduled the fight card to take place one day before Spyrou was to leave. Indriyanto Setyo Nugroho has signed an exclusive contract with ALPHA-1, and I won't be putting him on another fight card. Also, Curt Kitson and my lightweight champion, Marko Prochazka, are no longer interested in resigning with OMEGA. So, I have one match left to use both of those fighters before they leave. Hopefully, one of the new lightweight fighters will prove capable enough to take the title off of Prochazka in his last match with OMEGA. There is currently one unemployed female fighter, Yoko Kobayashi, who has some popularity in Asia. And, she would be in my women's middleweight division. So, if I decide to start hiring female fighters, it will be ones that will be able to fight in my women's middleweight division (121 lbs - 135 lbs).

OMEGA 16 (South Eastern Asia) Heavyweight Match #2 Bob Dozier (7-3) vs. #7 Kevin Portman (2-4) Dozier has the advantage while standing with his striking ability. Blurcat Prediction: Bob Dozier via knock out. Round 1 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Dozier throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Portman from coming inside. Dozier works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Portman responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting. Dozier backs off slightly, maybe a bit relieved not to have taken that one on the chin. Neither fighter appears to be looking for any sort of takedown or grapple, this is all about the striking. Portman circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Dozier blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Dozier fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots. Portman covers up and rides out the storm, clinching to stop any further blows. It was a nice attack from Dozier though, best action of the round. They stay clinched for a while, exchanging occasional punches to the ribs, then are separated by the referee. It looks like this round is going to the judges though, as there's only a few seconds remaining. Dozier throws a leg kick that connects, albeit without too much force, and the round is done. End of round 1. Blurcat.com gives that one to Dozier by 10-9. Round 2 A crisp jab from Portman starts the round, it tagged Dozier on the cheek. Straight right from Dozier in response, glancing off the side of the head, albeit without much power. Portman steps in for an attack but is smothered by Dozier who clinches. Portman has to react quickly to avoid being tossed to the ground, but can't stop being driven into the ropes. Dozier is virtually man-handling Portman with his wrestling ability. Up against the ropes, Dozier has the much stronger position. Right hand connects to the side of the body. And another. There isn't a great deal of power on them, but they're forming a big red mark on the body, and Portman can't really do a lot in response; he can't seem to wrestle Dozier off, and he can't work into a position to unload any strikes either. Dozier fires off another two punches, then goes for a trip. Portman spins out, almost falls, but manages to squirm out and back off quickly to the center. That was close, and Portman knows it. Dozier hits a solid left, then a right. Portman felt both of them, and backs off a little. Dozier charges right in to follow up though, and unleashes a powerful right hook, and Portman took it flush on the chin! Dozier doesn't even bother following up on that, because Portman was out cold from the instant that that hit. Incredible punch. The official time of the knock out is 8:49 of round 2. Bob Dozier ($5,300) beat Kevin Portman ($400) by Knock Out in 8:49 of round 2. (1 star) Middle Heavyweight Match #2 Mark Bicknell (12-4) vs. #5 Barry Strachan (3-7) Neither fighter has a strong advantage. Bicknell is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Mark Bicknell via T.K.O. Round 1 The two fighters circle. Strachan flicks out a couple of jabs, then an unconventinal looping right hand. Bicknell easily side-steps it, but trips and falls to the ground! He is up quickly, before Strachan could get in. Replays confirm that it was purely a stumble, the punch was well wide of the mark. Bicknell 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, Strachan is a little rattled. They struggle in the clinch, both throwing small punches to the back and ribs. The referee separates them. Strachan forces Bicknell back up against the ropes, and starts throwing jabs. He looks to be keeping Bicknell in position, waiting to unload a big punch. Strachan does, lunging in with a huge right cross, but Bicknell saw it coming and goes underneath it, scoring with a right hand to the gut on the way past. Strachan turns and tries to follow up immediately, but gets tagged with a wicked left hook that drops him to one knee. Strachan is up quickly, causing Bicknell, who was about to dive in, to back off. Replays show that the punch connected, but Strachan was already going downward to duck the punch, so it wasn't as powerful as first thought. Strachan throws a high kick, but it doesn't do anything but cause Bicknell to step back. The time expires without anything further of note happening. The first round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Bicknell. Round 2 They circle to start, both throwing a few tentative jabs. An uppercut misses its mark from Bicknell, providing the first moment of real action. Strachan hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Bicknell side-stepped to safety. A few punches get thrown, but there's a lack of real action to talk about. Strachan 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 has it down as 10-9 Strachan. Round 3 The fighters come together right in the center. Strachan throws out a jab, but Bicknell bobs out of the way and uses a right hand to glance a blow off the side of the ribs in response. Bicknell works an angle and storms in suddenly with three crisp jabs and a looping overhand punch, Strachan covered up quickly but at least one of the jabs hit home. Bicknell is making Strachan look sluggish in comparison, such is the speed and crispness with which he is delivering strikes. Strachan hits a low kick before back-pedalling to avoid a clubbing blow. Bicknell is looking the slightly more fit of the two fighters. They meet in the center to exchange a flurry of strikes that gets the crowd on their feet. Bicknell got slightly the better of it, he definitely snuck through a right hand that rocked Strachan slightly. Strachan initiates a clinch, and the action grinds to a halt. Strachan looks out of ideas, he is being repeatedly lured into these exchange of strikes, but Bicknell is clearly winning them. Strachan needs to find some way to deal with them. Not much time left in this round. The referee separates them. Bicknell tries a speculative high kick, but Strachan saw it coming and was well out of range by the time it came. Strachan tries to work an angle, but Bicknell is having none of it and fires off a straight right hand to keep him from stepping in. Comfortable round for Bicknell, 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 scores 10-9 Bicknell. The official scores are in; two judges give 29-28, the other 30-27, all for Mark Bicknell. Mark Bicknell ($3,500) beat Barry Strachan ($1,000) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Heavyweight Match #5 Stjepan Andric (8-6) vs. #4 Stanislaw Lipnicki (8-7) Neither fighter has a strong advantage. Andric is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Stanislaw Lipnicki via T.K.O. Round 1 Lipnicki starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Andric 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. Andric uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Lipnicki is forced back against the ropes. Andric picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Lipnicki uses a couple of looping punches to make Andric keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Andric 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. Lipnicki scores with a low kick. Andric throws out a few jabs, nothing too dangerous though, Lipnicki easily avoided them. Andric unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. The round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Andric. Round 2 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Andric throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Lipnicki from coming inside. Andric works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Lipnicki responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting. Andric backs off slightly, maybe a bit relieved not to have taken that one on the chin. Neither fighter appears to be looking for any sort of takedown or grapple, this is all about the striking. Lipnicki circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Andric blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Andric fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots. Lipnicki covers up and rides out the storm, clinching to stop any further blows. It was a nice attack from Andric though, best action of the round. They stay clinched for a while, exchanging occasional punches to the ribs, then are separated by the referee. It looks like this round is going to the judges though, as there's only a few seconds remaining. Andric throws a leg kick that connects, albeit without too much force, and the round is done. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Andric. Round 3 Right hand from Andric was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Lipnicki. Andric follows up by coming in close, but Lipnicki is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. Andric misses with a right hand, and leaves himself open to a left hook. Andric goes down, although replays confirm that it was a stumble, Lipnicki was a few inches away from connecting with that left. Lipnicki tries to quickly mount Andric to capitalise, but is out-maneuvered almost immediately and Andric slips out and gets his back! Lipnicki turtles up, and takes a few heavy shots to the ribs. Andric gets his legs around Lipnicki and uses them to roll him over. Exposed, Lipnicki tries to turn so that he is on top, but Andric has already rammed one arm around his throat and has a tight choke-hold applied. Lipnicki is in big trouble, and obviously can't see a way out as he taps out pretty quickly. Andric wins via 3rd round rear choke submission with the official time being 1:26. Stjepan Andric ($4,400) beat Stanislaw Lipnicki ($1,000) by Submission in 1:26 of round 3. (1 star) Middleweight Main Event #4 Thorbjorn Rekdal (4-2-1) vs. Lachlan Bowen (2-2) Rekdal has the advantage while standing with his striking ability. Blurcat Prediction: Thorbjorn Rekdal via knock out. Round 1 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 Rekdal that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. Bowen looks to be working an angle. Bowen ducks out of the way of a punch, then back steps quickly, just in time to avoid the uppercut that was coming. Better from Rekdal, although no damage has actually been done yet. They exchange punches. Rekdal hits a nice jab just above the left eye, but takes a hard punch to the cheek at the same time. Rekdal momentarily loses his footing and drops his hands, that shot having really rung his bell. Bowen shoots off another right hand to capitalise, and this time it's the killer blow, Rekdal falls back and crash-lands on the floor, he was out cold from the instant that punch hit. A knock out victory for Bowen. Bowen wins via knock out at 2:24 of the first round. Lachlan Bowen ($400) beat Thorbjorn Rekdal ($800) by Knock Out in 2:24 of round 1. (2 stars) The announced attendance was 33 for an estimated live gate of $1,960. The fighters earned a total of $16,800. Although most fans went home happy, there was a sense that the show wasn't as good as it could have been. The show has resulted in the promotion gaining popularity in one region. |

Quote:
I am getting close to $200,000. I have been making almost $10,000 per month on average, and I have made a profit every month. Though, I have not spent a penny on any marketing, as one month of advertising in the Asia region would probably wipe out my current balance. Southern Asia has seen the biggest increase in popularity going from Awful to Poor. I hope by the end of 1998 to grow from a tiny company to a small company. The bar is about 60% full. Then I will be the same size as BCF and WEFF. Both of them are still small companies and are not growing in the current economy. Both ALPHA-1 and GAMMA are at maximum size and popularity, and they both rule the MMA world. They have both been signing any wrestler they want to big fat exclusive contracts. So far in 1997, I have seen a huge increase in the cost per fight in contracts given out by both of those companies. I have been rushing a bit in my play of WMMA, and have not taken the time to comment on my current situation or future plans as much as I would have liked. I have been trying to get to the end of 1997, so that I can look back at the data from an entire year and do some analysis of it. I want to do some posts similar to the ones I did at the beginning of 1997, but with more information. My last fight card was a throw away card, since it was held in South Eastern Asia. It was only the second time that I held a card there, so very small attendance was expected. I think my upcoming fight card has a chance to be my best fight card since OMEGA 9. Nicolai Mickiewicz (12-1) will defend his light heavyweight title against Petey Mack (8-2). The game's booking advice says it could be a very exciting fight with an estimated attendance of 590 people, which would be the most ever at an OMEGA fight card.

OMEGA 17 (Eastern Asia) Middleweight Match #6 Yoshinobu Tanaka (9-17) vs. #1 Xie Ming (6-1) Neither fighter has a strong advantage while standing or on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Yoshinobu Tanaka via knock out. Round 1 Tanaka isn't hanging around, right from the start Ming is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Ming circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Tanaka 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 Tanaka, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Ming is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Tanaka really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Ming was wide open for a moment there. Tanaka hits a high kick, catching Ming on the shoulder. Jab from Ming finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Tanaka fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Ming scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Tanaka, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. The first round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Tanaka by 10-9. Round 2 Tanaka hits some tentative punches, then comes in fast and forces Ming to back up against the ropes, where they clinch. Tanaka hits a nice body shot, but takes two short punches to the side of the head in return. Ming tries a trip, but it doesn't go anywhere. They separate, with Tanaka having to stay sharp to avoid a scorching right hand from Ming. Tanaka leads with a right hand, then delivers a brutal uppercut, Ming had to step back quickly to avoid getting caught. He winds up back against the ropes, and Tanaka doesn't relent, moving in fast to unload with a series of jabs. Ming got some of his own in, but the upper hand is definitely with Tanaka. Vicious right hand! Out of nowhere, it caught Ming flush in the face, and he slumps down against the ropes. Tanaka follows up with more punches, and the referee dives in to break it up. It's all over. Ming 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. Tanaka wins via 2nd round TKO with the official time being 8:48. Yoshinobu Tanaka ($4,400) beat Xie Ming ($3,000) by T.K.O. in 8:48 of round 2. (2 stars) Lightweight Match #3 Yeijiro Yamamoto (5-7) vs. #4 Ukyo Narita (4-5) Yamamoto is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Yeijiro Yamamoto via T.K.O. Round 1 They circle to start, both throwing a few tentative jabs. An uppercut misses its mark from Yamamoto, providing the first moment of real action. Narita hits a nice combination of body shots to set up a big right hook, but Yamamoto side-stepped to safety. A few punches get thrown, but there's a lack of real action to talk about. Narita 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. The round is over. Blurcat.com gives that one to Narita by 10-9. Round 2 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 Yamamoto, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Yamamoto 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. Narita covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Narita looks to be working an angle. Low kick from Narita, 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 Yamamoto will take the round on points. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Yamamoto. Round 3 Slow start to the round, nearly a minute has gone by without anything but a few jabs finding gloves. Narita comes in, looking for a grapple it seems, but takes a powerful kick just above the left hip. Yamamoto really put some venom into that strike. Narita backs off, clearly stung. Yamamoto is the one advancing now, using a left hand jab to lead. He steps forward and fires off a big kick, aimed at the head. Narita ducks and moves out of range, but that was clearly intended to be a match-ender, Yamamoto was going for the knock out. It's pretty clear that he thinks that kicks are going to do the job in this round, and it has to be said that Narita is looking to have a hard time countering them. On top of that, the threat of the kicks is keeping Narita from getting in too close. Yamamoto stalks Narita, throwing the occasional high right hand, perhaps range-finding. Narita is circling, seeking an opening of some kind. He moves in from the left and is quick enough to get into the clinch without taking any shots. Yamamoto hits a knee, but takes one right back. The kicks aren't a danger from this position, that's for sure. Yamamoto squirms free, but foolishly lost his concentration for a second and took a hard right hand above the eye in the process. Silly mistake. Narita comes in, looking more confident now, and gets in a couple of right hands and a lovely hook to the body. Yamamoto tags him with a jab though, and then hits another fearsome kick to the same spot above the left hip. And another! Narita backs off, and a huge red mark has appeared in that spot. Yamamoto advances and throws another head kick, but it is mostly blocked by the hands of Narita. The round is drawing to a close, and those kicks have certainly proved massively effective for Yamamoto. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Yamamoto. All three judges give a score of 29-28 in favour of Yeijiro Yamamoto. Yeijiro Yamamoto ($5,300) beat Ukyo Narita ($2,500) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Light Heavyweight Match #2 Daniel Hornsby (9-2) vs. #7 Curt Kitson (12-5) Hornsby is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Curt Kitson via knock out. Round 1 Kitson leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Hornsby 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. Hornsby uses a knee to the ribs before backing Kitson up against the ropes. Right hand from Kitson connects though, that was well timed. Hornsby breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Kitson was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Hornsby sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Kitson fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Hornsby throws a stinging jab, landing just above the left eye. Kitson steps in and fires off one of his own, but Hornsby bobs out of the way and scores with a pair of solid shots to the body. Kitson turns and swings, just as Hornsby also unloads...and it's Hornsby who connects first! Kitson's hands drop and he is on rubbery legs. Hornsby follows up with a beauty of a right hand, and that drops Kitson. The referee doesn't even wait for Hornsby to dive in to finish, he's seen enough, Kitson is clearly on Dream Street. This bout is over! Hornsby wins via first round TKO at 5:46. Daniel Hornsby ($4,400) beat Curt Kitson ($3,000) by T.K.O. in 5:46 of round 1. (1 star) Light Heavyweight Title Main Event #3 Petey Mack (8-2) vs. #1 Nicolai Mickiewicz (12-1) Mack has the advantage while standing with his striking. Blurcat Prediction: Petey Mack via knock out. Round 1 Mickiewicz leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Mack 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. Mack uses a knee to the ribs before backing Mickiewicz up against the ropes. Right hand from Mickiewicz connects though, that was well timed. Mack breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Mickiewicz was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Mack sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Mickiewicz fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. They clinch. Mickiewicz gets in a nice knee, but a second attempt sees him swept to the ground. Mickiewicz landed hard with Mack right on top of him, it looks like he got winded. Mack hits three big punches to the face, and Mickiewicz is rocked. Mack gets an arm, locks in a kimura, and Mickiewicz has no alternative but to tap out. Official time of the kimura submission is 7:11 of the first. Petey Mack is the new OMEGA Light Heavyweight champion. Petey Mack ($5,300) beat Nicolai Mickiewicz ($3,000) by Submission in 7:11 of round 1 to win the OMEGA Light Heavyweight title. (2 stars) The announced attendance was 664 for an estimated live gate of $39,480. The fighters earned a total of $30,900. The general feeling amongst the fans was that the show was a good one. The show has resulted in the promotion gaining popularity in one region. |

OMEGA 18 (Southern Asia) Lightweight Match Eli Harris (0-0) vs. Agustin Gonzalez (3-0) Gonzalez is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Agustin Gonzalez via T.K.O. Round 1 The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Harris fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Gonzalez didn't buy it for a second. In comes Harris from an angle to the right, but Gonzalez 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. Harris felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Gonzalez steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Harris 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. Gonzalez 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. Harris responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. Gonzalez clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Harris 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. Gonzalez pushes Harris up against the ropes and clinches. Nothing comes from it. Gonzalez scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Harris. Nicely done. Harris, realising that he is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put Gonzalez on the back foot. Gonzalez handles it well though, refusing to let Harris 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 Harris throwing increasingly desperate punches. The round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Gonzalez. Round 2 The two fighters touch gloves as the round begins. Harris starts brightly, throwing out a series of jabs and raking punches, but Gonzalez is too light on his feet and avoids all of them. Gonzalez steps in and hits a lovely overhand right, then a low kick to the outside of the thigh. Harris throws a vicious right cross, but Gonzalez goes under it and catches Harris with a scathing left hand to the gut. The next few minutes follow a very similar pattern; Gonzalez using his excellent movement to 'hit and run', coming in from a variety of angles to score with crisp punches, dodging out of the way of Harris's counters. Harris is being made to look sluggish by comparison, and the amount of punches that Gonzalez has landed in comparison to him is becoming huge. None of them have been particularly big punches, certainly nothing likely to end a fight, but the sheer number of them must be hurting Harris. Harris finally hits a meaningful blow, catching Gonzalez coming in with a low kick. Gonzalez still gets a crisp jab in though, and is back out of range before Harris can apply a second strike. The round comes to an end with Gonzalez having dominated. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Gonzalez. 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 Gonzalez, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Gonzalez 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. Harris covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Both fighters circle. Low kick from Harris, 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 Gonzalez will take the round on points. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gonzalez by 10-9. The official scores are in; two judges give 30-27, the other 29-28, all for Agustín Gonzalez. Agustin Gonzalez ($400) beat Eli Harris ($100) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Middleweight Match #4 Bixente Fontaine (11-6) vs. #1 Dennis Gallagher (7-3) Fontaine has the advantage while standing. Blurcat Prediction: Bixente Fontaine via T.K.O. Round 1 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Fontaine forces Gallagher back up against the ropes, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Fontaine is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Gallagher clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Gallagher gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Fontaine seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Gallagher who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Fontaine had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Gallagher throws a ragged jab, missing by a mile as Fontaine simply ducks under and unloads a vicious hook from below. It catches Gallagher square on the jaw, and he goes down! Fontaine mounts and starts firing off punches, rapid-fire. The referee waits to see if Gallagher can recover, decides that he can't, and pulls Fontaine off. The match is over. Official time of the TKO is 6:51 of the first. Bixente Fontaine ($4,400) beat Dennis Gallagher ($3,000) by T.K.O. in 6:51 of round 1. (1 star) Middle Heavyweight Match Derek South (2-2) vs. #4 Harvey Loeb (10-5) South has a 28lb weight advantage. Loeb has the better conditioning and mobility. Blurcat Prediction: Derek South via knock out. Round 1 Loeb throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. South throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Loeb 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. South hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Loeb. They struggle all the way back, with Loeb ending up backed up against the ropes. South hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Loeb stomps downward onto his foot. Loeb manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. South gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Loeb ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Loeb tries a high kick to start, but South saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's South who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Loeb on the nose. Loeb hits a straight right, enough to stop South 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. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to South. Round 2 Right hand from Loeb was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of South. Loeb follows up by coming in close, but South is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. South fires off three straight jabs, none of which connect. Loeb is forced up with his back against the ropes though. He clearly doesn't like the thought of being trapped there for any length of time though, as he quickly comes forward with a barrage of wild punches. South bobs and weaves to avoid them, but is literally bundled over in the process. There wasn't really any punch that put him down, it was simply the fact that Loeb was advancing at a faster rate than he could back-pedal! Loeb follows up with South down on his back. Loeb has a good position, half-straddling the upper body of South, and can pick his shots. A hard right thunders into the left cheek of South, and a left hits the same spot. South turns his hips, looking to try and shake Loeb loose, but gets turned over completely and gives up his back! Loeb starts punching again, driving fists into the side of South's face. South is trapped, and can barely cover up. A few more punches connect, one vicious one to the ear looking particularly nasty, and that's enough for the referee to pull Loeb away. Official time of the TKO is 1:26 of the second round. Harvey Loeb ($5,300) beat Derek South ($500) by T.K.O. in 1:26 of round 2. (1 star) Middle Heavyweight Main Event #3 Shane Gilchrist (13-3) vs. #2 Mark Bicknell (13-4) Gilchrist has the advantage while standing with his striking skills and while on the ground with his ground and pound skills. Blurcat Prediction: Shane Gilchrist via decision. Round 1 The round begins, and it is Gilchrist who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Bicknell defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Gilchrist works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Bicknell ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Gilchrist 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 Bicknell. Interesting first minute of action, Gilchrist is looking particularly sharp. Bicknell tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Gilchrist back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Bicknell tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Gilchrist scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Bicknell looks to be working an angle. They square up to each other in the center. Gilchrist throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Bicknell on the side of the head. Bicknell got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Gilchrist 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. Bicknell tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Gilchrist defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. End of the round. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gilchrist by 10-9. Round 2 Bicknell starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Gilchrist 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. Gilchrist uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Bicknell is forced back against the ropes. Gilchrist picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Bicknell uses a couple of looping punches to make Gilchrist keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Gilchrist 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. Bicknell scores with a low kick. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Gilchrist unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. End of the round. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Gilchrist. Round 3 Gilchrist leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Bicknell 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. Bicknell uses a knee to the ribs before backing Gilchrist up against the ropes. Right hand from Gilchrist connects though, that was well timed. Bicknell breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Gilchrist was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Bicknell sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Gilchrist fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Gilchrist has wound up next to the ropes, and Bicknell comes in with a right hand lead, transitioning into a three punch combination. Gilchrist covered up well, taking very little damage. Bicknell steps back to prepare for a second wave of attack, but a thunderous head kick from Gilchrist catches him on the back-foot! Bicknell is down and dazed. Gilchrist mounts and starts firing off rights and lefts. Bicknell has one arm up to block them, but that's more out of instinct than anything, and it's almost totally ineffective. Some bombs are connecting, and the referee pulls Gilchrist off, putting an end to the match. The official time is 8:21. Shane Gilchrist ($5,300) beat Mark Bicknell ($2,000) by T.K.O. in 8:21 of round 3. (2 stars) The announced attendance was 506 for an estimated live gate of $30,100. The fighters earned a total of $21,000. The general feeling amongst the fans was that the show was a good one. The show has resulted in the promotion gaining popularity in one region. |

I kind of lost interest in this dynasty when I found out about WMMA2 and after watching several of my fighters leave OMEGA. However, with WMMA2 getting closer to being released, I have fired up WMMA again, or at least I looked at my game file enough to put together the big post above.
I don't know if or how long I will continue this dynasty. At least I am not as attached to the fighters that have left or will be leaving OMEGA, so maybe I will be able to continue this dynasty from a fresh perspective. ....Or at least until the first major patch is released for WMMA2. |

While British Cage Fighting caught up to Women's Extreme Fighting Federation in terms of popularity in 1996, in 1997 WEFF became more popular in Canada than BCF was in the U.K. While ALPHA-1 is more popular than GAMMA in Japan and Asia and about equal to GAMMA in popularity in America, Canada, and Mexico, GAMMA is somehow ranked #1 in world popularity at the end of 1997.

While only two fighters were released in the second half of 1996 by all companies as they expanded their rosters, in 1997 many fighters were released as some companies looked to freshen up their roster with new talent or because the fighters refused to resign with their old company.

Monday, Week 1, January 1998
My upcoming fight card takes place in South Eastern Asia. This will only be my third trip to South Eastern Asia so I know all the bouts are pretty much just throw away matches. Only 34.5 people on average showed up for the previous two shows in South Eastern Asia, as I am slowing building my popularity in that region. The booking advice says I can expect around 80 people this time. This will be Barry Strachan's (3-8) last fight for me, since I did not resign him. He has lost all three of his previous matches in OMEGA. OMEGA 19 (South Eastern Asia) Tuesday, Week 3, January 1998 Middle Heavyweight Match #5 Barry Strachan (3-8) vs. #4 Jesse Singh (5-7) Middleweight Match #2 Jemaine McKenzie (8-4) vs. #3 Lachlan Bowen (3-2) Lightweight Match #5 Ukyo Narita (4-6) vs. #4 Taufik Wijaya (33-19-2) Lightweight Main Event #3 Yeijiro Yamamoto (6-7) vs. #2 Luke Hilton (7-2) |

OMEGA 19 (South Eastern Asia) Middle Heavyweight Match #5 Barry Strachan (3-8) vs. #4 Jesse Singh (5-7) Singh is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Jesse Singh via decision. Round 1 Singh starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Strachan 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. Strachan uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Singh is forced back against the ropes. Strachan picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Singh uses a couple of looping punches to make Strachan keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Strachan 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. Singh scores with a low kick. They both seem to be looking for an opening, and it's creating a stalemate at the moment. Strachan unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Strachan. Round 2 The round begins, and it is Strachan who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Singh defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Strachan works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Singh ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Strachan 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 Singh. Interesting first minute of action, Strachan is looking particularly sharp. Singh tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Strachan back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Singh tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Strachan scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Singh looks to be working an angle. They square up to each other in the center. Strachan throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Singh on the side of the head. Singh got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Strachan 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. Singh tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Strachan defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Strachan. Round 3 The two fighters touch gloves to start the round, and almost immediately come together in a clinch. There's a struggle for supremacy, but neither seems to be able to gain the advantage. They struggle all the way to the ropes, neither seems to have a clear-cut advantage when it comes to wrestling. Things stall, neither fighter seems willing to risk attempting a takedown. The referee waits thirty seconds, then pulls them apart due to the inactivity. Singh forces Strachan back against the ropes, where they clinch up. Singh has the better position, all the leverage is with him. He uses that to lift Strachan up onto his shoulder, turns...and hits a running slam that gets the crowd going crazy! Big power takedown from Singh. Strachan pulls guard, but he has to be stunned from that. Singh tries to pass the guard. Strachan is holding it quite high, which is helping. Singh throws a couple of loose punches, then grabs the legs and turns Strachan over. Strachan tries to scramble free, but Singh is already on top of him and has his back! Singh doesn't waste any time, he starts throwing bombs with both left and right fists, slamming them into the side of Strachan'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 Strachan, then another to the side of the nose. That's all the referee wants to see, he pulls Singh off. Official time of the TKO is 2:06 of the third round. Jesse Singh ($600) beat Barry Strachan ($1,000) by T.K.O. in 2:06 of round 3. (1 star) Middleweight Match #2 Jemaine McKenzie (8-4) vs. #3 Lachlan Bowen (3-2) Bowen has the advantage on the ground with his ground and pound skills. Blurcat Prediction: Lachlan Bowen via knock out. Round 1 The round begins, and it is Bowen who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. McKenzie defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Bowen works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. McKenzie ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Bowen 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 McKenzie. Interesting first minute of action, Bowen is looking particularly sharp. McKenzie tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Bowen back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. McKenzie tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Bowen scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. Bowen looks to be working an angle. They square up to each other in the center. Bowen throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches McKenzie on the side of the head. McKenzie got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Bowen 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. McKenzie tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Bowen 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 Bowen by 10-9. Round 2 Tentative start to the round, the fighters are circling. Bowen throws out a couple of range-finding jabs, but they aren't anything that will trouble McKenzie. Kick to the thigh from McKenzie, but it lacked power. Bowen glances at the referee, not sure why. High right kick from Bowen, McKenzie got caught trying to come in from a bad angle. He's down! Bowen quickly moves in for the kill. A clubbing blow from Bowen connects, hitting home across the left cheek. Bowen gets into full mount, McKenzie is in enormous trouble from this position. Right hands rain down, and McKenzie can only cover up. One or two got through though, and there's blood coming from a cut below his left eye. Bowen pulls back and throws an absolute bomb, McKenzie brought his hands up to block but could do almost nothing against it, that had power to spare. McKenzie looks groggy, and that allows Bowen to start throwing a barrage of rights and lefts to the face. The referee has seen enough, he doesn't think McKenzie can defend himself, this match is over. Bowen wins via second round TKO at 1:48. Lachlan Bowen ($4,400) beat Jemaine McKenzie ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 1:48 of round 2. (1 star) Lightweight Match #5 Ukyo Narita (4-6) vs. #4 Taufik Wijaya (33-19-2) Neither fighter has a strong advantage while standing or on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Taufik Wijaya via knock out. Round 1 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 Wijaya that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. About thirty seconds pass without any contact, and the crowd become a little restless. Narita ducks out of the way of a punch, then back steps quickly, just in time to avoid the uppercut that was coming. Better from Wijaya, although no damage has actually been done yet. Narita makes Wijaya 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. Narita throws another two punches, both to the body, then steps back to avoid an uppercut. Wijaya lets fly with a scorching punch though, and it catches Narita by surprise, putting him down! Wijaya follows up and starts raining down right hands. Narita covers up as best he can, but it's not enough as the referee pulls Wijaya off, the match is over. Official time of the TKO is 2:22 of the first round. Taufik Wijaya ($5,300) beat Ukyo Narita ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 2:22 of round 1. (1 star) Lightweight Main Event #3 Yeijiro Yamamoto (6-7) vs. #2 Luke Hilton (7-2) Hilton has the advantage while standing and while on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Luke Hilton via decision. Round 1 Yamamoto is the first to score a meaningful blow, tagging Hilton with a jab to the cheek. Hilton uses a nice straight left to return fire. Yamamoto comes in to work the body, but Hilton saw it coming and uses a quick takedown to put Yamamoto onto the floor, falling into guard. Hilton throws out a right hand, parried away by Yamamoto. The guard is quite tight, for the moment at least Hilton looks content to stay there and throw some punches. Yamamoto isn't offering any sort of attacking threat yet, instead concentrating on keeping the strikes from landing. A big punch is driven into the ribs, Yamamoto thought it was going for the face. Another punch lands in the same place, and a red mark starts to develop. Yamamoto reaches up and pulls Hilton down into a clinch, and tries to work an armbar from the bottom. Hilton defends it easily, and gets in a sharp jab to the face too. He stands up slightly, leaning forward into the guard, and starts throwing some right hands. One gets through, the others are parried. Yamamoto looked like he might be considering trying to apply a triangle then, as Hilton was very exposed, but he didn't get a chance due to the ferocity of the punches. Hilton gets back down to kneeling in the guard. Another right hand lands to the ribs. Yamamoto fires off two punches from his back, but Hilton defends them easily by simply leaning backward out of reach. Hilton stands again, the guard remaining tight around him, and throws another couple of bombs. This time Yamamoto does try to apply the triangle, and an armbar at the same time, but Hilton breaks free. Time is ticking down, looks like Yamamoto will survive this ground and pound attack. The round ends without further note. The first round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Hilton. Round 2 Yamamoto comes out fast, but gets hit with a counter right hand strike when he throws a left hand which was too high. Hilton moves in and hits a nice body shot before they clinch. Yamamoto gets in a short, sharp jab to the side of the head, it looked to hit right on the ear. Hilton didn't like that, and scores with two knee strikes and a punch to the cheek. They break apart. Hilton swings and hits a nice right hand. Yamamoto fires off a series of sharp jabs, all hitting gloves. He throws out a looping left, but gets tagged with a punch to the jaw and stumbles to the ground! Hilton dives in to finish him off, but he scrambles back up quickly and they end up facing off on their feet again. Replays show that the punch barely connected, it was more of a stumble on Yamamoto's part than anything else. It might not look that way to the judges though. Hilton looks more confident after that, and puts together a nice chain of strikes, ending with a scathing low kick that catches Yamamoto on the outside of the calf. He definitely felt that. Time is running out; Hilton 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 Hilton. Round 3 They come together into a clich almost right away. Hilton gets a knee in, but that's about the total sum of the action, and the referee separates them. Yamamoto moves in, but gets caught with a big kick to the legs that causes him to stumble to the mat. Hilton came in fast to try and capitalise, but Yamamoto uses the guard well. Hilton looks to pound out a victory, throwing some big punches. Yamamoto's guard prevents him from getting his body behind the shots though, and none of them have enough power to really trouble Yamamoto. A couple do get through and hit home though. Yamamoto reaches up and smothers Hilton into a clinch. He fights free, with some difficulty, and starts punching away again. Yamamoto parries the shots away. Unfortunately the round enters a lull, with Hilton unable to pass guard and so being content just to throw punches from there, while Yamamoto is unwilling to risk letting Hilton pass guard. We enter the final thirty seconds of the round before Hilton gets a breakthrough, managing to power through the guard and mount Yamamoto! Yamamoto covers up and tries to buck and roll his hips to desperately try and dislodge Hilton. 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 Yamamoto is probably relieved when the round ends with him not having taken too much damage. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Hilton. The official scores are: 30-27 from all three judges for Luke Hilton. Luke Hilton ($4,400) beat Yeijiro Yamamoto ($3,000) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) The announced attendance was 89 for an estimated live gate of $5,320. The fighters earned a total of $23,700. There were some rumblings of discontent from the fans after the show, there was definitely a feeling that while the show wasn't a stinker, it had been a disappointment. The show has resulted in the promotion gaining popularity in one region. |

OMEGA 20 (Eastern Asia) Middleweight Match #1 Bixente Fontaine (12-6) vs. #5 Yoshinobu Tanaka (10-17) Neither fighter has a strong advantage. Blurcat Prediction: Bixente Fontaine via knock out. Round 1 The round starts. They touch gloves. Tanaka throws a rapid-fire series of punches, forcing Fontaine to back off. Fontaine throws a nice kick that thumps into the rib cage. Another kick is thrown, this time aimed at the head, but Tanaka sees it coming and steps back. Fontaine advances and they meet in the center. Tanaka ducks a right hand, scores with a left to the gut. Fontaine throws a one-two combination, neither connecting, but it does allow him to follow up with a stinging kick to the ribs. A big red mark has appeared there. Tanaka bursts forward and goes for a big swing, Fontaine ducks under it, hits a right to the chest, then unloads another kick. This one hits the thigh, causing Tanaka to noticeably wince. It may have caught the very top of the knee judging from the replays. Tanaka tries to come in to get a measure of revenge, but is met with some low kicks that make sure that he can't get close enough to throw any bombs. Fontaine's impressively sharp kicking game is hurting Tanaka and allowing him to take firm control of this round. There's not much time left, and Tanaka is going to have to do something special to win this round now. He doesn't, as time expires without anything interesting happening. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fontaine. Round 2 Fontaine starts with a high kick, but Tanaka was well out of range. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Fontaine steps in and exchanges strikes with Tanaka, neither fighter gets a particular advantage from it. Tanaka parries away a nice right hand and gets in a crisp counter punch that catches Fontaine on the shoulder. The round has been a little flat so far, neither of them is really forcing the issue. They enter into a clinch, which doesn't help matters, and that seems to last for an eternity before the referee separates them and tells them to get on with it. Fontaine finally shows some fire, putting together a combination of two jabs, a cross, and an uppercut. Tanaka did well to defend it, bobbing and weaving out of the way and using his gloves to parry away anything that was too close. He uses a low kick to the thigh as a response, then steps in and unloads with two fine punches, although Fontaine blocked them. Fontaine scores the best punch of the round so far, coming in fast, ducking under a dangerous right hand, and catching Tanaka square in the face with a lunging overhand right. Tanaka backs off and covers up, clearly having felt that one, and unfortunately Fontaine's attempts to follow up and thwarted as he gets tied up in a clinch near the ropes. The time expires, with Fontaine probably having stolen that round thanks to that one big punch. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Fontaine. Round 3 Fontaine isn't hanging around, right from the start Tanaka is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Tanaka circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Fontaine 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 Fontaine, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Tanaka is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Fontaine really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Tanaka was wide open for a moment there. Fontaine hits a high kick, catching Tanaka on the shoulder. Jab from Tanaka finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Fontaine fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Tanaka scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Fontaine, 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 sees it 10-9 to Fontaine. The official scores are: 30-27 from all three judges for Bixente Fontaine. Bixente Fontaine ($4,400) beat Yoshinobu Tanaka ($2,500) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Light Heavyweight Match #3 Aleksei Chekhov (9-3) vs. #4 Percy Catcher (8-3) Neither fighter has a strong advantage. Both fighters prefer to stand up and strike. Blurcat Prediction: Percy Catcher via submission. Round 1 Catcher starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Chekhov 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. Chekhov uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Catcher is forced back against the ropes. Chekhov picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Catcher uses a couple of looping punches to make Chekhov keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Chekhov 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. Catcher scores with a low kick. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Chekhov 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 Chekhov. Round 2 Chekhov isn't hanging around, right from the start Catcher is forced onto the back foot by four hard shots, although none of them get through the gloves. Catcher circles, steps in, then unloads a combination of punches, but Chekhov 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 Chekhov, the timing had to be perfect and it was. Catcher is looking a bit frustrated, and uncorks a ragged-looking uppercut that missed by several inches. Chekhov really should have taken advantage of that mistake, Catcher was wide open for a moment there. Chekhov hits a high kick, catching Catcher on the shoulder. Jab from Catcher finds the mark, but it didn't have much power behind it as he was leaning backward too much. Chekhov fires off a couple of straight punches in response, but only finds gloves. They clinch, and the fight enters a lull. Catcher scores with a knee from the clinch, it landed around the hip area of Chekhov, who responds with a couple of shots to the ribs. The time runs out with them still clinched though. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Chekhov. Round 3 Right hand from Chekhov was thrown with power, but bounced off the gloves of Catcher. Chekhov follows up by coming in close, but Catcher is ready with a straight right hand that glances off the side of the head. They are facing off, neither willing to make the first move. Chekhov throws a couple of jabs, but they're more to keep his hands busy than actually offering any attacking threat. Catcher moves in closer and throws a looping punch, missing. Chekhov steps in to meet him and throws a bomb of a right hand. Catcher throws one at the same moment, but is a fraction too slow and gets caught right on the chin! Catcher goes down, it's lights out, that's a knock out punch. Chekhov goes to follow up but is stopped by the referee, who has seen that Catcher is already unconscious. Chekhov wins via knock out at 1:17 of the third round. Aleksei Chekhov ($4,400) beat Percy Catcher ($3,000) by Knock Out in 1:17 of round 3. (2 stars) Light Heavyweight Match Bill Brown (0-0) vs. #2 Nicolai Mickiewicz (12-2) Neither fighter has a strong advantage. Blurcat Prediction: Nicolai Mickiewicz via T.K.O. Round 1 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 Mickiewicz, who then has to react quickly to avoid a right hook that was aimed right at the chin. Mickiewicz 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. Brown covered up well, and gets in a couple of shots of his own before moving out of range again. Other than a few half-hearted jabs, there's been a definite lull over the past minute. Low kick from Brown, 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 Mickiewicz will take the round on points. End of round 1. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Mickiewicz. Round 2 Brown starts strongly, hitting two stiff jabs to the gloves, stinging the hands of Mickiewicz. The third strike is a meaty left hook that narrowly misses. If that had hit, Mickiewicz may well have been decapitated. Despite leaning backwards, Mickiewicz throws a mighty kick that explodes across the chest, Brown staggers back. That was an enormously powerful blow, and Brown didn't see it coming at all. They circle for a moment, sizing each other up. Mickiewicz throws a flurry of jabs, but Brown blocks them easily. A right hand from Brown lands below the eye, and a straight left glances off the shoulder. Another exchange doesn't see either fighter get an advantage. Brown throws a heavy left, but Mickiewicz goes underneath it. Another hard kick from Mickiewicz, this time smashing into the left thigh. Brown almost get knocked down. He throws a left hook in retaliation which misses by a mile, and gives Mickiewicz the chance to hit another big kick, this time to the ribs. The round has been pretty even, with the exception of those kicks by Mickiewicz which have really made a big difference. As the round comes to an end, it looks like those will make sure that Mickiewicz wins the round on points. The 2nd round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Mickiewicz. Round 3 Mickiewicz and Brown circle to start. Brown throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Mickiewicz sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Brown comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows Mickiewicz to slip a nice jab in, catching Brown just underneath the right eye. Mickiewicz comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Brown misses with a right cross, then backs off. Mickiewicz stalks him, forcing Brown back up against the ropes. Mickiewicz doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Brown throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Mickiewicz pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Brown covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the ropes, Mickiewicz in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Mickiewicz 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. Brown comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Mickiewicz 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 Mickiewicz's favour. End of round 3. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Mickiewicz. The three judges all give the match as 30-27 to Nicolai Mickiewicz. Nicolai Mickiewicz ($5,300) beat Bill Brown ($200) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (2 stars) Heavyweight Title Main Event #2 Manol Sirakov (6-7) vs. #1 Rav Kapur (8-0) Kapur has the advantage on the ground with his ground and pound skills. Blurcat Prediction: Rav Kapur via knock out. Round 1 The round begins, and it is Kapur who starts better, energetically bounding straight into action by throwing a three-punch combination and a scything leg kick. Sirakov defended all four blows well, but is forced to be on the backfoot right from the word go. Kapur works for an angle, coming in from the left hand side with a high right hand. Sirakov ducks under it and nestles a stiff jab in the solar plexus. It doesn't seem to slow Kapur 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 Sirakov. Interesting first minute of action, Kapur is looking particularly sharp. Sirakov tries to turn the momentum by advancing quickly and driving Kapur back against the ropes with a series of jabs and hooks, and they end up clinched. Sirakov tries a knee from that position, but it is blocked. Kapur scores with two sharp blows to the ribs, and then they break away from each other. They both seem to be looking for an opening, and it's creating a stalemate at the moment. They square up to each other in the center. Kapur throws a head fake and comes in from low down to hit a rising shot that catches Sirakov on the side of the head. Sirakov got a shot in too though, although it hit the shoulder rather than the head. Time is running down; Kapur 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. Sirakov tries a late surge, coming in hard and fast with a leading left, but Kapur defends it well and scores the only meaningful shot of the exchange with a crisp left hand. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Kapur. Round 2 Sirakov starts fast, coming out almost immediately with a three punch combination. None of them get through, and Kapur 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. Kapur uses a low kick to set up a nice right hand, and Sirakov is forced back against the ropes. Kapur picks his shots and gets a big punch to the body in. Sirakov uses a couple of looping punches to make Kapur keep back, but it doesn't last for long, as Kapur 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. Sirakov scores with a low kick. Kapur pushes Sirakov up against the ropes and clinches. Nothing comes from it. Kapur unwinds a right hook that narrowly misses. That will be the last action of the round though. The round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Kapur. Round 3 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Sirakov 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 Sirakov 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. Sirakov seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Kapur who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Sirakov had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. Sirakov hits a low kick, then moves in for a jab. Kapur saw it coming and unloads with an enormous punch to the jaw. Sirakov goes down immediately, he has been knocked clean out by the power of Kapur. Kapur wins via knock out at 5:25 of the third round. Rav Kapur successfully retains the OMEGA Heavyweight title. Rav Kapur ($5,300) beat Manol Sirakov ($3,000) by Knock Out in 5:25 of round 3 to retain the OMEGA Heavyweight title. (2 stars) The announced attendance was 615 for an estimated live gate of $36,610.

OMEGA 21 (Southern Asia) Light Heavyweight Match #7 Jerry Bogdonovich (8-9) vs. #3 Leandro Piquet (6-3) Piquet has a 5 inch height advantage. Bogdonovich is a better stand-up fighter. Blurcat Prediction: Jerry Bogdonovich via knock out. Round 1 Very, very slow start to the round. Over a minute has gone before the first meaningful strike connects. It's Bogdonovich who hits it, scoring with a shot to the chest. Piquet fires back with a couple of jabs, both of which connect with the shoulder rather than the face where they were aimed. The two fighters come together in the center and exchange punches, neither getting the clear advantage. Piquet suddenly shoots in and goes for a takedown, but Bogdonovich manages to sprawl long enough to get them all the way back to the ropes, which keeps him upright. Piquet tries to complete the takedown, but realises that the leverage isn't there and instead stands and clinches. Bogdonovich hits a couple of shots to the back. Piquet hits a stomp. Bogdonovich lifts his leg to go for a knee, but that gives Piquet the opportunity to lift him and slam him down to the ground. That was a hard slam! Piquet is on top, almost sitting on top of a balled-up Bogdonovich. He throws some hard downward punches, Bogdonovich defends most of them, although one hits hard above the eye. Piquet leaves his arm in for a second too long and Bogdonovich reaches up and almost gets an armbar. Piquet gets free though, although the effort puts him off-balance enough for him to stumble, giving Bogdonovich the opportunity to scramble back up. There's a nasty mark above the eye where the earlier punch connected though. They go back to circling each other. There's not much time left. Bogdonovich tries one last big attack, swinging for the fences with two bombs, but Piquet avoids both, adding a nice shot to the stomach after the second dodge. The round ends there. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Piquet. Round 2 Piquet starts strongly, immediately rushing in for a takedown. Bogdonovich got taken by surprise a little, but wrestles his way free of the grapple and pulls to safety. Bogdonovich doesn't hang around for a second attempt, he uses a looping left to set himself up to come in close and score with a series of strikes, two or three nice body shots included. Piquet covers up, throwing the occasional jab as a counter. Bogdonovich goes for a vicious uppercut, but gets pulled into a clinch. Piquet goes for a takedown via a trip, but Bogdonovich defends it. Another trip attempt, another failure. Piquet pushes Bogdonovich up against the ropes and tries to wrestle him to the ground, but Bogdonovich keeps his balance and sprawls to stop it. Bogdonovich gets in a hard right hand to the side of the face, taking advantage of the fact that Piquet was leaning in too far. Bogdonovich reverses so that Piquet is against the ropes. They remain clinched, with nothing more than minor strikes being thrown, for a long time. The referee finally breaks them apart and gets them back to the center. Bogdonovich throws a kick, waist-high, but Piquet avoids it. That could have been used for a takedown attempt if Piquet had been quicker and caught it. Bogdonovich hits two or three punches in a row, stinging the gloves of Piquet. The round draws to a close. It'll be interesting to see where the judges go with this, as Bogdonovich clearly got the better strikes in throughout the round, but Piquet did probably show more aggression by virtue of his almost constant attempts to get the takedown. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Bogdonovich. Round 3 Piquet moves in quickly to begin, trapping Bogdonovich against the ropes. Looks like a statement of intent, Piquet is going to try and out-wrestle Bogdonovich. Piquet works for position, and tries to get in a hard shot to the face, Bogdonovich turned out of it and got free though, no damage done. Piquet comes in again, looking for the grapple, but gets sent back with a succession of three crisp jabs and a speculative high kick. Piquet hits two jabs, then a high kick. It glances off Bogdonovich's shoulder, catching him on the top of the head. He stumbles backward, ending up against the ropes. Piquet charges in and starts unloading, and after several crunching punches have landed the referee has no choice but to jump in and bring the match to the end. Official time of the TKO is 2:31 of the third round. Leandro Piquet ($2,000) beat Jerry Bogdonovich ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 2:31 of round 3. (1 star) Middleweight Title Match #2 Bixente Fontaine (13-6) vs. #3 Lachlan Bowen (4-2) Bowen has the advantage on the ground with his ground and pound skills. Blurcat Prediction: Lachlan Bowen via knock out. Round 1 The two competitors start slowly, circling and looking for an opening. Bowen fakes shooting in for a takedown, but Fontaine didn't buy it for a second. In comes Bowen from an angle to the right, but Fontaine 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. Bowen felt that, and is forced to cover up quickly as Fontaine steps in quickly and unloads with a flurry of powerful blows, looking to capitalise on the earlier strike. Bowen 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. Fontaine 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. Bowen responds by throwing out some straight jabs, but neither fighter is really doing any damage to their opponent. Fontaine clearly grows tired of the wait, and moves in to hit a body blow. It connects, but Bowen 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. For a second it looked like Fontaine was about to go for a takedown, but nothing came from it. Fontaine scores with a stiff jab, and bobs and weaves to avoid all three of the rapid-fire punches that come back from Bowen. Nicely done. Bowen, realising that he is losing this round, comes forward with a sense of urgency, throwing right hands to put Fontaine on the back foot. Fontaine handles it well though, refusing to let Bowen 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 Bowen throwing increasingly desperate punches. End of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Fontaine. Round 2 The fighters touch gloves, then circle. Fontaine throws a low kick, but it was without any conviction, it seemed designed more to keep Bowen from coming inside. Fontaine works an angle, then comes in with a one-two combination, Bowen responds with a crisp uppercut that wasn't far off from connecting. Fontaine backs off slightly, maybe a bit relieved not to have taken that one on the chin. Neither fighter appears to be looking for any sort of takedown or grapple, this is all about the striking. Bowen circles and throws a series of high jabs, but Fontaine blocked them with ease, using the gloves. Fontaine fakes a high kick, then storms in with a wild looking right hand and a series of body shots. Bowen covers up and rides out the storm, clinching to stop any further blows. It was a nice attack from Fontaine though, best action of the round. They stay clinched for a while, exchanging occasional punches to the ribs, then are separated by the referee. It looks like this round is going to the judges though, as there's only a few seconds remaining. Fontaine throws a leg kick that connects, albeit without too much force, and the round is done. The round is over. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Fontaine. Round 3 Fontaine throws two high punches, then steps in for a hook to the body. Nice combination, but Bowen defended with ease. They clinch up next to the ropes, but a short struggle only ends with them separating and coming back in. Bowen throws a ragged jab, missing by a mile as Fontaine simply ducks under and unloads a vicious hook from below. It catches Bowen square on the jaw, and he goes down! Fontaine mounts and starts firing off punches, rapid-fire. The referee waits to see if Bowen can recover, decides that he can't, and pulls Fontaine off. The match is over. Official time of the TKO is 1:32 of the third round. Bixente Fontaine wins the OMEGA Middleweight title. Bixente Fontaine ($4,400) beat Lachlan Bowen ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 1:32 of round 3 to win the OMEGA Middleweight title. (1 star) Middle Heavyweight Title Match #1 Eddie Whelan (14-2) vs. Mason Martin (2-1) Martin has the advantage on the ground with his submissions. Blurcat Prediction: Eddie Whelan via T.K.O. Round 1 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 Whelan that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. Whelan throws out a few jabs, nothing too dangerous though, Martin easily avoided them. Martin ducks out of the way of a punch, then back steps quickly, just in time to avoid the uppercut that was coming. Better from Whelan, although no damage has actually been done yet. Whelan and Martin clinch, and struggle up against the ropes. Martin uses a trip and takes Whelan down. He throws a big right but it is easily blocked. Martin tries to get an armbar, but isn't going to get it from this position. Whelan uses the fact that Martin is leaning forward to his advantage, and uses a sweep to turn them over, with Whelan now in Martin's guard. Whelan works through into half guard. Martin throws a couple of punches, but it's hard to generate any power from that position. Whelan hits a big right hand, but almost regrets it as Martin grabs his arm and almost uses it to pull off a surprise armbar; no dice though, as Whelan gets free, and manages to get into side control. Martin tries to work for another armbar, keeping himself very busy from the bottom. Whelan defends it with relative ease, and then unloads with a vicious right handed strike to the jaw! That was out of nowhere, and Martin got nailed. He goes limp immediately, knocked out cold. Whelan gets the win with a thunderbolt of a punch out of nowhere. The official time of the knock out is 2:06 of round 1. Eddie Whelan is still the OMEGA Middle Heavyweight champion. Eddie Whelan ($4,400) beat Mason Martin ($200) by Knock Out in 2:06 of round 1 to retain the OMEGA Middle Heavyweight title. (2 stars) Lightweight Title Main Event #2 Marko Prochazka (14-4) vs. #1 Luke Hilton (8-2) Hilton has the advantage standing and on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Luke Hilton via decision. Round 1 Procházka comes out fast, and looks like he is aiming for a quick takedown, but Hilton stops that plan with some looping punches. Solid right hand from Hilton connects, and that's the best moment of the opening minute of the round. Procházka is mainly defending against punches, it looks like he is trying to work an angle to try for a takedown. Hilton seems to have noticed, as he is purposely positioning against that. Straight left from Hilton, then a low kick, then a wicked body shot. Procházka felt that, and backs off. Procházka tries to get in for a clinch, perhaps looking for a takedown from that position, but Hilton gets him to back off with some jabs. Hilton has really been able to stamp his gameplan on this round, Procházka has been blocked at every turn. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Hilton. Round 2 Slow start to this round, Hilton is being tentative and Procházka looks like he is waiting for an angle to appear. The first exchange of strikes doesn't really go anywhere. A second set falls in Hilton's favour, as he gets a nice jab in, hitting right above the nose, and a solid shot to the body. Procházka goes in for a takedown but only manages to secure one leg. Hilton hammers down two shots to the back, but can't really do a lot else. Procházka tries to push him over onto his back, but Hilton manages to pull free and back off. Procházka throws a high left handed jab then goes in for another takedown. Good sprawl from Hilton, and he backs off. Procházka doesn't get a chance to go for a third, because Hilton takes the fight to him with a barrage of lefts and rights, forcing him back against the ropes. Hilton clinches up, only after hitting a hard shot to the stomach though. The clinch seems to go on forever, with Procházka unable to get a good enough position to try a takedown, and Hilton tied up too much to really throw any decent strikes. Eventually the time runs out and they head back to their corners. End of round 2. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Hilton. Round 3 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 Hilton that almost found its way through the guard is the sole highlight as we reach the minute mark. A looping left from Hilton, but it's wide of the mark. Procházka ducks out of the way of a punch, then back steps quickly, just in time to avoid the uppercut that was coming. Better from Hilton, although no damage has actually been done yet. Procházka throws a stinging jab, landing just above the left eye. Hilton 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. Hilton turns and swings, just as Procházka also unloads...and it's Procházka who connects first! Hilton's hands drop and he is on rubbery legs. Procházka follows up with a beauty of a right hand, and that drops Hilton. The referee doesn't even wait for Procházka to dive in to finish, he's seen enough, Hilton is clearly on Dream Street. This bout is over! The official time is 2:33. Marko Procházka retains the OMEGA Lightweight title. Marko Prochazka ($5,300) beat Luke Hilton ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 2:33 of round 3 to retain the OMEGA Lightweight title.

OMEGA 22 (South Eastern Asia) Heavyweight Match #3 Brian Barnes (9-8) vs. Aleksander Ivanov (0-0) Ivanov has the advantage while standing with his striking ability. Blurcat Prediction: Aleksander Ivanov via knock out. Round 1 Barnes misses with a straight right. Ivanov hits a standing kick, and Barnes is rocked, stumbling backwards and falling to the floor. Ivanov leaps into action and fires off a barrage of right hands. The referee dives in and protects Barnes, bringing the fight to an end. The kick didn't knock Barnes out, but it left him stunned, and that was all that Ivanov needed to finish the job. Official time of the TKO is 1:42 of the first round. Aleksander Ivanov ($200) beat Brian Barnes ($1,000) by T.K.O. in 1:42 of round 1. (1 star) Heavyweight Match #6 Mugur Boc (4-2) vs. #7 Henrik Berg (10-15) Boc has the advantage standing and on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Mugur Boc via decision. Round 1 Berg throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Boc throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Berg 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. Boc hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Berg. They struggle all the way back, with Berg ending up backed up against the ropes. Boc hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Berg stomps downward onto his foot. Berg manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Boc gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Berg ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Berg tries a high kick to start, but Boc saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Boc who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Berg on the nose. Berg hits a straight right, enough to stop Boc 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. The round ends. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Boc. Round 2 Slow start; nearly a full minute of circling, occasional fakes, and long-range jabs. Neither fighter is creating much. Boc works an angle, but takes a low kick to the shin when he advances. They clinch, and end up with Berg backed up against the ropes. Boc gets a couple of right hands to the body, but his attempts at knee strikes are deflected by Berg, who uses his legs well to defend. Boc pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. Berg gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Boc follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Boc 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. Berg tags him with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. Berg 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 round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Boc. Round 3 Boc throws two high punches, then steps in for a hook to the body. Nice combination, but Berg defended with ease. They clinch up next to the ropes, but a short struggle only ends with them separating and coming back in. The two fighters clinch up, ending up struggling next to the ropes, with the referee watching intently to make sure there are no rules being bent during the grappling match. Berg gets in a cheeky right hand, but that's all the offence he can generate from the clinch before Boc sweeps his legs and takes him down to the ground. Boc fights his way out into half guard. Big clubbing blow from Boc, Berg dealt with it well. Boc half-stands, his right leg still trapped between Berg's, and starts unloading with a barrage of bombing right hands. Berg takes one right to the jaw, then another smashes hard into his nose. More devastating punches rain down, and the referee pulls Boc off, preventing Berg from taking any more damage. Official time of the TKO is 1:47 of the third. Mugur Boc ($1,800) beat Henrik Berg ($100) by T.K.O. in 1:47 of round 3. (1 star) Light Heavyweight Match #1 Daniel Hornsby (10-2) vs. #4 Kendall Tracey (6-1) Tracey has the advantage while standing with his striking ability. Blurcat Prediction: Kendall Tracey via knock out. Round 1 There's a few minor exchanges of punches to start the round, and Tracey gets the better of them. Neither fighter is throwing any bombs, but Tracey is showing the better technique, and has hit a few nice body shots. They come together again, and Tracey shows quick hands to get in three nice shots. Hornsby definitely felt them. Neither fighter seems interested in taking this to the ground, they're just circling, throwing a few punches, then regrouping. Hornsby is struggling to inflict much damage. He may need to switch tactics, as so far Tracey is looking very comfortable. Hornsby comes in with left, but Tracey saw it coming and slipped in a great right hand counter punch. Hornsby is getting frustrated. The remainder of the round is no different, as the occasional exchanges of strikes are clearly go the way of Tracey's superior technique. The first round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Tracey. Round 2 Slow start, both fighters are throwing tentative punches without threatening anything more powerful. Tracey puts together the first exciting moment, stringing together four punches in quick succession, but Hornsby defended well. Straight right from Hornsby 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, Tracey probably getting the slightly better punches in, and then fall into a clinch. That goes nowhere, and the referee separates them. Hornsby 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 Tracey. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Tracey. Round 3 Tracey doesn't exactly disguise his intentions for this round, going right to the center and motioning for Hornsby to come and trade blows. Hornsby wisely keeps back for the time being, content to throw long-range jabs. Tracey isn't quite as content though, as he begins to stalk Hornsby. They meet near the ropes. Hornsby hits a nice jab, then goes to clinch. Tracey 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. It is clear that Tracey believes that he has the power to get a knock out here, his game plan appears to be to look for the one punch finish. Hornsby is trying to keep moving, to not let Tracey get set to throw a bomb. Tracey is controlling this round by virtue of the knock out threat, as Hornsby is being forced to fight somewhat defensively. Tracey throws another big punch, narrowly missing, but does score with a follow up jab, landing just above the right eye. Hornsby returns fire with a pair of jabs, both finding gloves. Time begins to tick away. It hasn't been the most exciting round, but Tracey has controlled it and managed to land the better shots. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Tracey. The three judges all give the match as 30-27 to Kendall Tracey. Kendall Tracey ($4,400) beat Daniel Hornsby ($2,500) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Heavyweight Main Event #2 Bob Dozier (8-3) vs. #4 Stjepan Andric (9-6) Dozier has the advantage while standing with his striking ability. Blurcat Prediction: Bob Dozier via knock out. Round 1 Dozier leads with the right hand to set up a low kick, Andric 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. Andric uses a knee to the ribs before backing Dozier up against the ropes. Right hand from Dozier connects though, that was well timed. Andric breaks the clinch and backs off. That was sloppy on his part, Dozier was basically gifted a free shot. Three quick jabs from Andric sting the gloves, then a crashing hook to the body finds its mark. Good recovery. Dozier fires off a low kick again, but it's well wide. Dozier throws a stinging jab, landing just above the left eye. Andric steps in and fires off one of his own, but Dozier bobs out of the way and scores with a pair of solid shots to the body. Andric turns and swings, just as Dozier also unloads...and it's Dozier who connects first! Andric's hands drop and he is on rubbery legs. Dozier follows up with a beauty of a right hand, and that drops Andric. The referee doesn't even wait for Dozier to dive in to finish, he's seen enough, Andric is clearly on Dream Street. This bout is over! The official time of the TKO is 7:35 of round 1. Bob Dozier ($5,300) beat Stjepan Andric ($2,500) by T.K.O. in 7:35 of round 1. (2 stars) The announced attendance was 89 for an estimated live gate of $5,320. The fighters earned a total of $17,800. The general feeling amongst the fans was that the show was a good one. The show has resulted in the promotion gaining popularity in one region. |

OMEGA 23 (Eastern Asia) Middleweight Match #7 Yoshinobu Tanaka (10-18) vs. #1 Korekiyo Anzai (7-2) Anzai has the advantage on the ground with his submissions. Blurcat Prediction: Korekiyo Anzai via submission. Round 1 Tanaka is the first to score a meaningful blow, tagging Anzai with a jab to the cheek. Anzai uses a nice straight left to return fire. Tanaka comes in to work the body, but Anzai saw it coming and uses a quick takedown to put Tanaka onto the floor, falling into guard. Anzai stands into a half-crouching position, dragging Tanaka's guard with him. Tanaka reaches up, parries away a couple of strikes, and tries to grab an arm to apply an armbar to. Anzai knocks the attempt away and nails a hard shot to the ribs before reaching over and trying to nail a downward punch to the chin. Tanaka blocks it. Anzai floats over and gets into side control. Tanaka scrambles to try and get back up, but is too close to the ropes, which works against him. Anzai lays in a couple of punches to the chest to soften Tanaka up, then tries to move up and isolate one of the arms. Tanaka makes sure to bring his body around to give him as much protection as possible. It works, as Anzai can't get either arm isolated properly. Anzai changes tactics and tries to get into crucifix position. Tanaka fights it for as long as he possibly can, but eventually gets caught. The length of struggle is, in itself, a good defence though, as the round ends before Anzai can do anything with the position he has achieved, which will frustrate him enormously. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Anzai. Round 2 They come together into a clich almost right away. Anzai gets a knee in, but that's about the total sum of the action, and the referee separates them. Tanaka moves in, but gets caught with a big kick to the legs that causes him to stumble to the mat. Anzai came in fast to try and capitalise, but Tanaka uses the guard well. Anzai passes guard and gets into side control, but it's an awkward position; Tanaka has the entire right hand side of his body up against the ropes, and both his legs wrapped around Anzai's left arm. Anzai's attacking options are fairly limited. He uses a couple of back fists to strike away at the face, but Tanaka covers up to defend them. Anzai tries to pin down one of Tanaka's arms and bring his legs around to trap them fully, but Tanaka uses his free arm to stop that from happening. The ground battle enters a stalemate, as Anzai finds himself unable to do any real damage other than occasional strikes, which he doesn't have the leverage to get much power behind, with virtually no chance of gaining a submission thanks to his left arm being trapped. The referee eventually stands them up, and the time expires before anything interesting can happen with them standing. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Anzai by 10-9. Round 3 Anzai and Tanaka circle to start. Tanaka throws a couple of looping punches, neither hitting, while Anzai sits back, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Tanaka comes in closer, looking to unload with a right hand; that misses, and it allows Anzai to slip a nice jab in, catching Tanaka just underneath the right eye. Anzai comes in and scores with a straight left, then bounces a right hand off the body. Tanaka misses with a right cross, then backs off. Anzai stalks him, forcing Tanaka back up against the ropes. Anzai doesn't rush in, instead standing back and throwing the occasional punch. Tanaka throws a big left hand in response, but it misses by quite a margin. Anzai pounces, hitting lefts and rights. Tanaka covers up from the first two punches, then clinches up to prevent any more coming in. They're up against the ropes, Anzai in the dominant position. They remain that way as the time ticks down. Anzai 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. Tanaka comes in hard and fast, bobbing and weaving, and throws a couple of big shots. Anzai 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 Anzai's favour. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Anzai. The three judges all give the match as 30-27 to Korekiyo Anzai. Korekiyo Anzai ($5,000) beat Yoshinobu Tanaka ($2,500) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Middleweight Match #6 Dennis Gallagher (7-4) vs. #3 Xie Ming (6-2) Gallagher is the better athlete. Blurcat Prediction: Xie Ming via T.K.O. Round 1 The two fighters circle. A series of looping punches from Gallagher forces Ming back up against the ropes, and he has to cover up to withstand the three strikes that follow. No real damage caused, but Gallagher is aggressively chasing this match. A hook finds the body and Ming clinches. They almost lose their balance as they jockey for position, Ming gets in a couple of knees when they regain their footing. Gallagher seems to be trying to break the clinch, it's Ming who is holding it tight, perhaps hoping to calm the energetic start that Gallagher had. The referee finally does break them up, after nearly a full minute of inactivity. They clinch. Ming gets in a nice knee, but a second attempt sees him swept to the ground. Ming landed hard with Gallagher right on top of him, it looks like he got winded. Gallagher hits three big punches to the face, and Ming is rocked. Gallagher gets an arm, locks in a kimura, and Ming has no alternative but to tap out. The official time is 7:53. Dennis Gallagher ($5,300) beat Xie Ming ($3,000) by Submission in 7:53 of round 1. (1 star) Lighweight Match #3 Yeijiro Yamamoto (6-8) vs. #4 Piotr Dabrowski (11-14-1) Neither fighter has an advantage while standing or on the ground. Blurcat Prediction: Yeijiro Yamamoto via T.K.O. Round 1 Dabrowski starts fast, firing off several crisp jabs that keep Yamamoto on the back foot. A solid left hits gloves, but it's really just a set-up for Dabrowski to step in and use an uppercut. Not sure how much of it caught Yamamoto, but certainly enough to to make him grab a clinch to stop any further punishment. Great start to the round from Dabrowski, it has been total domination so far. The clinch is broken, and the two fighters exchange some long range jabs that are easily avoided. Yamamoto is looking a little lost so far, Dabrowski is controlling this round by virtue of his crisp accurate punches and higher aggression levels. About thirty seconds pass without any contact, and the crowd become a little restless. Dabrowski leads with the left, then moves in and gets in a wicked right hand that grazes the cheek. Yamamoto was fortunate there, if that had landed properly it would have been over. Yamamoto 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 Yamamoto is that although Dabrowski clearly won the round, he didn't actually turn that dominance into any sort of real damage. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Dabrowski. Round 2 Yamamoto throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Dabrowski throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Yamamoto 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. Dabrowski hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Yamamoto. They struggle all the way back, with Yamamoto ending up backed up against the ropes. Dabrowski hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Yamamoto stomps downward onto his foot. Yamamoto manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Dabrowski gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Yamamoto ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Yamamoto tries a high kick to start, but Dabrowski saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Dabrowski who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Yamamoto on the nose. Yamamoto hits a straight right, enough to stop Dabrowski 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. End of round 2. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Dabrowski. Round 3 Yamamoto comes out swinging, using some looping punches to try and catch Dabrowski. They're easy to avoid though. The first real exchange of punches happens right in the center, and Dabrowski gets the better of it, flashing two quick jabs into the cheek, and a right cross that landed above the eye. Yamamoto tries to hit an uppercut, but Dabrowski parries it away with ease. Yamamoto backs off, then comes in again. Dabrowski ducks a wild right hand and gets two shots in to the stomach. Yamamoto parries away a third, then tries a left hand to the nose, but Dabrowski side-steps it and hits a snap jab to the side of the head. Dabrowski forces Yamamoto to back up again. So far Dabrowski is looking the far more accomplished striker, he has dictated how each exchange has gone, Yamamoto is being controlled and contained with relative ease. A further exchange of strikes does nothing to change that, as once again Dabrowski's hands are superior to Yamamoto's, and he gets in one or two nice punches. Yamamoto clinches up, perhaps buying himself time to rethink, because it doesn't look like he can win a battle of technical striking. They are parted by the referee. Dabrowski stalks Yamamoto, who begins using long-range punches to keep the distance between them. That goes on for the remainder of the round, which Dabrowski has won on points by a mile. End of round 3. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Dabrowski. The official scores are: 30-27 from all three judges for Piotr Dabrowski. Piotr Dabrowski ($5,000) beat Yeijiro Yamamoto ($3,000) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) Lighweight Main Event #2 Taufik Wijaya (34-19-2) vs. Agustin Gonzalez (4-0) Gonzalez has the advantage on the ground with his ground and pound skills. Blurcat Prediction: Agustin Gonzalez via knock out. Round 1 Gonzalez scores the first meaningful blow of the round, hitting a powerful overhand right that thumped past the gloves. Wijaya shakes it off though, and scores with a nice low kick to the outside of the thigh. He steps in to throw some strikes, but Gonzalez moves to a new angle and scores with a series of jabs. Wijaya turns and swings a heavy right hand, but Gonzalez goes underneath it and hits a wicked kick to the gut. That exchange really showed the difference between the two fighters; Gonzalez looks light on his feet and very agile, Wijaya looks slow and sluggish by comparison. Wijaya will need to find a way to nullify Gonzalez's footwork, perhaps by getting in close, as he has been picked apart for the first half of this round. Gonzalez darts in again, and gets in a nice flurry. Wijaya manages to hit a crisp jab in return, but one of Gonzalez's punches caught him above the eye, leaving a mark, so he came off the worse from that exchange. The round ends without any further big strikes happening, Gonzalez controlling the round with his superior movement. The round ends. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Gonzalez. Round 2 The fighters come together right in the center. Wijaya throws out a jab, but Gonzalez bobs out of the way and uses a right hand to glance a blow off the side of the ribs in response. Gonzalez works an angle and storms in suddenly with three crisp jabs and a looping overhand punch, Wijaya covered up quickly but at least one of the jabs hit home. Gonzalez is making Wijaya look sluggish in comparison, such is the speed and crispness with which he is delivering strikes. Wijaya hits a low kick before back-pedalling to avoid a clubbing blow. Gonzalez pushes Wijaya 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. Gonzalez got slightly the better of it, he definitely snuck through a right hand that rocked Wijaya slightly. Wijaya initiates a clinch, and the action grinds to a halt. Wijaya looks out of ideas, he is being repeatedly lured into these exchange of strikes, but Gonzalez is clearly winning them. Wijaya needs to find some way to deal with them. Not much time left in this round. The referee separates them. Gonzalez tries a speculative high kick, but Wijaya saw it coming and was well out of range by the time it came. Wijaya tries to work an angle, but Gonzalez is having none of it and fires off a straight right hand to keep him from stepping in. Comfortable round for Gonzalez, he will probably be disappointed not to have done more damage given his dominance of the striking in this round. The 2nd round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gonzalez by 10-9. Round 3 Wijaya comes out fast, but gets hit with a counter right hand strike when he throws a left hand which was too high. Gonzalez moves in and hits a nice body shot before they clinch. Wijaya gets in a short, sharp jab to the side of the head, it looked to hit right on the ear. Gonzalez didn't like that, and scores with two knee strikes and a punch to the cheek. They break apart. Gonzalez swings and hits a nice right hand. Wijaya fires off a series of sharp jabs, all hitting gloves. He throws out a looping left, but gets tagged with a punch to the jaw and stumbles to the ground! Gonzalez dives in to finish him off, but he scrambles back up quickly and they end up facing off on their feet again. Replays show that the punch barely connected, it was more of a stumble on Wijaya's part than anything else. It might not look that way to the judges though. Gonzalez looks more confident after that, and puts together a nice chain of strikes, ending with a scathing low kick that catches Wijaya on the outside of the calf. He definitely felt that. Time is running out; Gonzalez will probably take this round on the judges' score cards, primarily due to that one dubious knock down. The round ends. Blurcat.com gives that one to Gonzalez by 10-9. The official scores are: 30-27 from all three judges for Agustín Gonzalez. Agustin Gonzalez ($400) beat Taufik Wijaya ($3,000) by Unanimous Decision in 10:00 of round 3. (1 star) The announced attendance was 608 for an estimated live gate of $36,190. The fighters earned a total of $27,200. The show didn't sit well with a lot of the fans, who were very underwhelmed with the show as a whole. The show has resulted in the promotion losing popularity in one region. |
