  Live from The Underground in London, this is Showtime 5. We have a fantastic night of fights

lined up tonight. We have a couple of guys in Hannu Haavisto and Jackson Kenny in our co-main

event looking to get themselves a victory and earn a shot at Sonny Nagasaki and his title. Also

our main event is looking to be a great one with Nafes Alhangum and David Berkowitz looking to

be crowned as Showtimes first Light Heavyweight Champion.

Let's get in the cage and take a look at the action.



Showtime 5



PRELIMS



HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT

Michail Shozintski -vs- Rip Taylor

Rip decided he wasn't going to waste anytime in standing with Michail and trading shots and went

straight for the takedown. He got it and worked for position and threw a few strikes, but wasn't

happy so he stood up and took him right back down. This time he had him where he wanted him and

hooked up a nice submission.

Result: Rip Taylor 1st rd. Submission via Americana



MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT

Kenny Grohl -vs- David Goliath

Well David started out pretty steady and went to the clinch and then pulled guard. He didn't do

much there nor did Kenny so the referee decided to stand them back up. Kenny then decided to take

David down and was successful with his attempt. Once he got the fight to the ground he started

throwing some very good shots wearing David down to where he was able to slap a submission on.

Result: Kenny Grohl 1st rd. Submission via Armbar



MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT

Francis Cope -vs- Randy Couture

Wow...is a good way to start this out. Francis was having no part in Randy's wrestling match and

stop every single takedown attempt that Randy threw at him. All the while he was steady picking

him apart with very precise strikes, cutting Randy very early on and preceeding to knock him down

and wave him back up for more. Once they stood back up it was all but over for Randy and his

wrestling match.

Result: Francis Cope 1st rd. Knockout via Punches



MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT

Nicky Johnson -vs- Don Brascoe

Nicky really thought he put a good gameplan together before the fight however after I'm sure he

was thinking man I wish I would have done something different. Don was very comfortable on his

back and consistantly working for a submission. Don didn't seem to be to concerned about trying

to improve his position and worked off his back until and did what he thought he could. Lock up

a submission after switching from one sub to another.

Result: Don Brascoe 1st rd. Submission via Guillotine



HEAVWEIGHT BOUT

Lennart Stahlhandske -vs- Gabriel Douglas Key

This wasn't at all what everyone thought it was going to be, a stand up war between two great

boxers. It ended up being a one sided fight with Gabriel clinching Lennart up and just peppering

him with strike after strike all the while stopping 13 takedown attempts.

Result: Gabriel Douglas Key 1st rd. Knockout via Punches



MAIN CARD



LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT

Tommy Riordan -vs- Alexander Larsson

Tommy came started this fight like he was shot out of a cannon and was ready from the first bell

landing a strike which immediately opened a cut on Alexander. The cut made Alexander think just

a little to much which gave Tommy just enough time to land a takedown. Tommy slipped away from a

couple of sub attempts from Alexander. Once he was in a better position he just started raining

down punches until the referee had no choice but to jump in and save Alexander.

Result: Tommy Riordan 1st rd. TKO via Strikes



BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT

Avery Jackson Brown -vs- Cugler Araujo

This may not have been the most exiting fight, but it was a promising fight. It showed that both

Avery Jackson and Culger both have a ton of heart. Culger was really eager to stand and throw

punch combo after punch combo but, he wasn't very successful as Avery consistantly took him down

and threw a few punches and stood back up. Then continued to take him down and get back up.

Result: Avery Jackson Brown via Unanimous Decision



MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT

Tim Small -vs- Lesbian Partner

Lesbian partner is a dangerous foe to anyone that he steps into the cage with. If people didn't

know that before this fight now they do. Lesbian never even gave Tim the opportunity to get off

one strike before taking it into the clinch and delivering one of the most one sided ass whippins

seen at Showtime. Lesbian landed absolutely everything he threw and most were monster knees.

Result: Lesbian Partner 1st rd. TKO via Knees



CO-MAIN EVENT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT

Hannu Haavisto -vs- Jackson Kenny

This was a barn burner for sure. You could have chosen either fighter as the winner. The fight

went back and forth throughout the fight with each taking control for a round a peice in the

first two rounds. The third round was close but Jackson Kenny got the nod. Some may say that the

judges for this fight may have been a little incompetent or were to involved in their food or

something. However the fight went the distance and when that happens you leave the fight up to

the judges. It just goes to show you that you really don't want to let the judges decide the winner.

Result: Jackson Kenny via Unanimous Decision (Also decided to call the champ out for a title shot

which has been granted)



MAIN EVENT LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE BOUT

Nafes Alhangum -vs- David Berkowitz

Before the fight started some of the press had a chance to interview Nafes manager and he said

"Nafes Alhangum will be the Light Heavyweight Champion after this fight". Nafes probably wishes

his manager hadn't done that as he got the floor mop with himself tonight. He was beaten as if

he stolen David's girlfriend and done the dirty dirty with her. David unloaded with ungodly

power looking to put Nafes lights out with every strike. Before the first minute he did just

that after cutting and knocking him down.

Result: David Berkowitz 1st rd. Knockout via Punch and now the Light Heavyweight Champion



POST FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE



Tim Key is happy to say that this was the best event that Showtime Promotions has held to date.

the event was a sellout and we had many fans smiling as they exited the building and were still

talking about many of the fights. Tim also said that Jackson Kenny earned his shot at Sonny

Nagasaki on the October 10th or 17th card. This is the way an event is suppose to go with all

the fighters fulfilling their duties. You should expect expect events like this more often.



FIGHT OF THE NIGHT AWARDS



KNOCKOUT OF THE NIGHT: David Berkowitz
