Not sure who will be watching, but it could be entertaining. Not ground shaking fights by any means, but some decent scraps. Well all minus Aoki vs McKee. This just looks like a snooze fest. Tatsuya Kawajiri (143.3) vs. Michihiro Omigawa (142.85) Hiroyuki Takaya (143.3) vs. Georgi Karakhanyan (143.3) Shinya Aoki (154.3) vs. Antonio McKee (153.2) Bibiano Fernandes (138.5) vs. Yoshiro Maeda (137) Melvin Manhoef (184.3) vs. Denis Kang (185.1) Hayato Sakurai (168.6) vs. Phil Baroni (167.5) Marloes Coenen (145.5) vs. Fiona Muxlow (144.8) Satoru Kitaoka (154.3) vs. Will Brooks (154.3)
wow, aoki actually won via strikes. landed a lunging left hook that hurt mckee badly and forced him to tap from the pain alone.
It's blocked off for a 3 hr telecast on CBS Sports channel this evening. I didn't even realize it wasn't going to be live until joony threw in a result. Who's the girl in your sig?
McKee must be a horrible striker, because Aoki has some of the worst striking I have ever seen from a highly regarded fighter.
McKee is a horrible striker. He is the king of lay and pray. He has good wrestling and is strong. He tapped from a punch form Aoki. He wasn't down, he wasn't out. The punch had nothing behind it. The guy talks this big gangster routine up. From the streets, been shot up, stabbed, nothing anyone can do in the ring can be anything close to what he's been through. But he folds like a cheap lawn chair.
I wouldn't call it a robbery, but I would have given it to Baroni. Check it out, its a pretty entertaining fight overall IMO. Baroni gasses pretty hard in the 3rd which I think cost him the decision. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blVVnaaOCGs
Just watched it, Phil should have won for sure. He won the first two rounds and even the third was close.
