5 rounds 2 mins each is just ten minutes, thats not even the 12 minutes a low level 4 round boxing pro fight is . I like the old school no rounds fight to the finish bareknuckle boxing. this sort of takes the spirit of bareknuckle out of it though it is brutal. do appreciate the wrestling and the punch clinches. im entertained so far

Interesting score cards, maybe round 4 could go to stripling. not sure what they were watching

 

Bout # 2 145lbs

George Gonzalez from indiana vs Steve Morris from illinois

Gonzalez has 3 BKFC fights, Morris is making his pro fighting debut with just amateur mma fights

morris has some really bad tattoos un-root-for-able level bad

 

rd 1 mobile start for both, gonzalez switchs stances. gonzalez works morris into a clinch on the ropes. lots of wrestling in there. jab from gonzalez scores before a big right hand from morris. morris trying to wrestle out of the clinch to score. 2 solid right hand uppercuts from morris. gonzales left hook right hand near bell. 10-9 morris

this fight isnt as good. its like mma without the kicks, knees or takedowns. just leaning and pushing each other up against the ropes like the fence pushing in mma. more clinching than fighting

 

rd 2: gonzalez goes back and forth in stances and lowers his level like hes shooting a double leg before realizing they are boxing. more clinch work from gonzalez as morris spins him and gets him to the ropes. at range morris goes back to the uppercut. morris holds the head with the left and uppercuts with the right until gonzalez goes to a knee, spits mouth piece has cut on right cheek, gonzalez shakes head and does not get up.

weird knockdown almost looks like he just wilted from the physicality than an actual punch, short right then a push down. did gonzalez miss judge the count or quit and act like he did not mean to quit. odd ending

 

they just showed the 2021 top 5 KO's, good **** in there

 

last fight 170

rynell riley vs trukon carson, the battle of 2 guys with weird first names

 

carson 2-0 in mma

riley 2 pro boxing fights and 30 am boxing fights though they dont say his record

 

rd 1: immediate clinch by both riley getting good inside work with the right hand. hard 1-2 bty carson and riley on the ropes but carson unloads back, riley punches makes carsons feet come offf the ground. lotta shoving and inside work by both. carson digs two hard body shots. carson ties up the head and goes for head shots as riley digs effective body shots. close round 10-9 riley i am swayed by rileys power
