Breakthrough was one amazing event. Ten great fights including the Featherweight Title fight. Only two fights went the distance so we had plenty of exciting finishes and we will take a look at all of them. For those of you who follow my writings I have got back into the black with the betting as I only lost a few of my prediction on this event and I lost only a few hundred dollars but I won big on another event so this guy is pretty happy. I would like to send out a special thanks to In The Red Sportsbook for hosting the odds on our events. I would also like to thank Meet the Future for sponsoring our events, and JC Raven for all of the poster work.
Preliminary Bout Number 1- Middleweight Fight
Yoshito "The Snake" Silva majority draw Bob "Beast" Harris
Well this would have been very hard to predict. How could anyone say they think the fight will end in a controversial majority draw? The first round for me was a strange one on the judges’ score cards. Both fighters scored a takedown and both of them also looked for submissions. Silva looked for more submissions than Harris, but Harris scored a nice sweep after Silva’s takedown. Even though Harris was in more of a controlling mood I still think he won the round. I scored it 10-9 Harris while all three judges scored the round 10-9 for Silva.
The second round may be even more interesting on how it was judged. Silva scored two takedowns and Harris got none. Harris did control enough to get one stand up, and he was also able to get a sweep but Silva looked for submission and tried to finish. Harris only wanted to lie around and control, so I gave the round to Silva and I thought that should have been an easy round to score. One judge gave the round to Harris and I have no idea how, while the other two scored it 10-10. My card says 19-19, two judges’ cards read 19-20 Silva and the other card looks like mine as it says 19-19 but we score the rounds differently.
The third round was the most decisive round of the fight. Harris scored an early takedown and the fight never got back to standing. Harris did not attempt as many submissions as Silva but he controlled from the top and took better positions from time to time and I thought it was clear that Harris won the round. I scored the round 10-9 Harris so I have Harris winning 29-28. All three judges agree with me on the round so two of their cards read 29-29 while the over judge also has it 29-28 like I do. I am surprised by this fight ending in decision as I really think Harris won this fight.
Preliminary Bout Number 2- Bantamweight Fight (135lbs)
bj "Boogieman" Ferguson defeats Joe "The Pitch" Castro
I cannot comprehend how Ferguson dominated this fight. I thought it would be a close good fight, and I predicted Castro to win, but he was out right dominated in this one. Ferguson got an early takedown and Castro was able to stand up after several attempts to pass to mount. Once Castro was up Ferguson went to the clinch, and then scored another takedown. This time instead of just trying to force a pass Ferguson being mixed it up well with strikes, and after a few minutes of repeatedly punched in the face Castro tapped out from the strikes. Ferguson gets his twenty ninth win at 3:51 of the first round do to submission because of strikes.

Weiser got the takedown right after the opening bell rang and then he spent about two minutes attempting to pound away on Hallick. Lucky for Al Hallick Weiser was landing at a terrible rate, less than fifty percent. Weiser got swept right after the two minute mark and Hallick just held on until we got a stand up. Once the two fighters where back to their feet the complexion of the fight took a major turn. Hallick landed three kicks one to the body and the other two to the head. The first one to the head cut Weiser and sent him to the mat, and then the second one sent him to the mat again only this time he would not get up. Al KO Hallick wins the fight by knockout via head kick at 2:53 of the first round.

Preliminary Bout Number 5- Featherweight (145lbs)
Diego "Firefox ak" Nunes defeats Ben Zaylor
Zaylor did not seem like himself in this fight. The first round was not good, as Nunes was able to stop almost all of the takedown attempts that came from Zaylor. Nunes did several strikes but he was defending takedowns so much it was hard to link anything together. Nunes took the fight to the ground himself and tried for a submission but then decided he did not want to be on the ground with Zaylor. Once Zaylor got a takedown Nunes did a wonderful job controlling until there was a stand up. Nunes won this round with ease 10-9.
Zaylor gained the advantage in the clinch in the second round after being tagged up pretty badly early on. In the clinch Zaylor couldn’t do much as he tried more takedowns to no avail and threw so punches but Nunes did a great job of avoiding most of them. When the fighters were separated Nunes landed more strikes and then Zaylor locked it back up. The round came to an end with Zaylor accomplishing almost nothing. 10-9 for Nunes making the fight 20-18 for the fight in favor or Nunes.
Zaylor was back to looking to grapple in the third round as Nunes wouldn’t allow it. Every clinch attempt Nunes circled away and every takedown attempt Nunes was able to sprawl, and then made Zaylor pay for it. As the fight got latter Zaylor looked more desperate to grapple and Nunes just was not having it. Nunes outclassed Zaylor in the third round and everyone agrees Nunes won the round 10-9. That makes it 30-27 on my card and all three judges have the same thing wrote down. Diego Nunes wins by unanimous decision.

Kshitij "EL FENOMENO" Singh Negi defeats Bjorn "Borg" Johanson
Johanson was looking to take away the head kicks by going to the clinch and it kind of back fired. He was able to eliminate the head kicks but Negi was able to dominate inside the clinch. He really mixed up his strikes well not allowing Johanson to block or avoid. Johanson could not compete inside of the clinch but he knew he couldn’t take a flush head kick so he kept going to the clinch and then breaking it. Late in the round Negi could visiably see the damage he caused inside of the clinch and took control of one himself. He pushed Johanson up against the fence and started landing elbows to the face and knees to the body. Johanson was not defending well enough for the ref and he stepped end and called a stop to the fight. Negi gets the TKO stoppage win at 4:59 of the first round.

"THE KING" Oliver Queen defeats Jonathan "The Cheetah" Mvungi
Mvungi couldn’t land anything to open the fight and then Queen moved into the clinch. The two exchanged good hard punches in the clinch for a minute or so. Mvungi decided he wanted out of the clinch I guess he felt Queen was winning the dirty boxing. As soon as the clinch was broke Queen landed a few devastating strikes and Mvungi went down. Queen jumped on top and pounded Mvungi until the referee stopped the fight. Oliver Queen gets the big win at 1:30 of the first round by TKO.

Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)
Riley Cooper defeats "Muharebe Tankı" Murat Orgun
Cooper did an awesome job ducking and dodging most of what Orgun threw at him. Cooper landed a few shots but nothing big or devastating. He was able to get the takedown and then he started trying to get a part of any limb that Orgun left hanging out. Orgun did a great job defending the submissions and then he was able to hold on to Cooper until the referee stood the fight up. Cooper was able to avoid damage once it went back to the feet and I think he won the round with ease. I gave the round to Cooper scoring it 10-9.
The second round starts with an exchange of failed takedown attempts. Cooper does get a takedown though and he goes right to work looking for a submission. After a few failed attempts Cooper locked on a tight guillotine choke and Orgun was forced to tap out. Cooper gets the win by submission at 2:21 of the second round. ‘
