Whoa nelly! Donny Stremphf here. Wild Bob’s Bar in downtown London was hopping this past Saturday January 17th during NACF-002. We had 10 fights that kept everyone at Wild Bob’s on their feet and cheerin’ loudly! Stay with me here as I break down the main event and give the results of all the fights.
Main Card
145 Ibs: Hematoma Hominick vs Labed Murazel
Hematoma Hominick defended his featherweight title with a nice swift counter overhand right. The fight only took 41 seconds as Hematoma came out the aggressor, although Murazel also gave it his all. Hominick, though, was the better boxer. He cut Murazel in the beginning of the fight, rocked him with a counter right, and then finished it off with another counter. Although short, this fight was very exciting. It ended up receiving a 96 percent fight rating. I predicted a 2nd round TKO with Hominick retaining his belt, making me partially right.
Result: Hematoma Hominick def Labed Murazel by way of KO in round 1.
265+ Ibs: Armas Lumpio vs Zbigniew Ciosek
The next fight of the night was an Openweight bout between Lumpio and Ciosek. Both fighters kept themselves busy, throwing mostly head strikes. The first part of round one started out with some decent back and forth action until Ciosek drove Lumpio into the clinch. That was short lived though as Lumpio broke the clinch just after. The rest of the round stayed on the outside as both fighters kept throwing strikes. Lumpio was a little more aggressive but Ciosek landed more strikes. He took round one. Round two began with Ciosek aggressively pursuing Lumpio. Things stayed slow until Ciosek moved Lumpio into the clinch. Ciosek kept himself busy, hitting Lumpio with a mix of strikes, although he did miss a decent amount. Lumpio, however, eventually did get the control and started landing some good shots, taking the round. The deciding final round split about halfway in and out of the clinch. The round began with Lumpio clinching up. After a slow period of action, things picked up while in the clinch before Ciosek broke out of it. Some more back and forth action kept the last round going. It was close, but Ciosek took the final round to win the fight. Although the fight only had an average rating of 63 percent, each round was close, with both fighters keeping things busy. Lumpio mixed up his strikes while Ciosek kept more to the boxing game, although he did land a couple knees and a good amount of kicks. I predicted a decision win, but for Lumpio not Ciosek.
Result: Zbigniew Ciosek def Armas Lumpio by way of unanimous decision.
145 Ibs: Tom Rushe vs Akira Pandunegoro
The tale of too much aggression, that’s what defined this fight. Pandunegoro came out kicking and couldn’t connect on one of them. After missing a fourth kick in a period of about 13 seconds, Rushe landed with a nice jab that sent Pandunegoro to the ground. Pandunegoro took the eight-count wait after the knockdown, but it was not enough time to recover. He was rocked and Rushe finished him off with a brutal three-punch combo that KOed his opponent. The fight only lasted 21 seconds, but with constant action and a KO, it was given a rating of 100 percent. Rushe landed every punch he threw, while Pandunegoro wasn’t able to land any. I predicted Rushe winning by a round 1 KO, spot on baby!
Result: Tom Rushe def Akira Pandunegoro by way of KO in round 1
265 Ibs: Brian Hurley vs Aleksandar Dragovic
Two words: complete domination. Dragovic was looking for his first win and he got it in dominating fashion. He wanted to keep the fight on the outside and that is exactly what he did. He kept his distance with mostly kicks, including the 77 body kicks that he landed of the 78 that he threw at his opponent. Hurley had no answer for his opponent. He tried to clinch 21 times, only being successful one time, however, that time in the clinch didn’t last very long. Dragovic humiliated his opponent, who will have to go back to the drawing board after this fight. Dragovic dominated every round, especially the second, which he won 10-8. I could break this fight down by each round, but it would be mostly redundant, so I’ll save you all the time. The fight rating of 84 percent showed that even a lopsided fight can be entertaining. I was completely off with this one as I predicted round one KO by Hurley.
Result: Alexsandar Dragovic def Brian Hurley by way of unanimous decision.
185 Ibs: Simon Marcus vs Oliver Buddington
Although not as lopsided as the last fight, we had another one-sided affair in this middleweight bout. Buddington won handily in this one, controlling all aspects of the fight. He did most of his work in the clinch, landing 16 head and body punches. Each round was basically the same, beginning on the outside then moving to the clinch. The fight was more about control over aggression, with Buddington dominating each position. Marcus did give it his all, but Buddington was too much for him. He couldn’t get out of Buddington’s control and was unable to bring the fight in the direction he wanted to take it. The lack of aggression resulted in a 40 percent fight rating. I did not get a chance to give a prediction for this one.
Result: Oliver Buddington def Simon Marcus by way of unanimous decision.
