MAIN EVENT
 
 
Edgar Boon (2-0-0) vs Ugandan Knuckles (3-0-0) 
205 lbs
 
 VS 
 
 
And now for the MAIN EVENT! Edgar "The Herald" Boon (18 P4P) will face Ugandan Knuckles (19 P4P)! Boon won KO of the night awards last IXF 2 destroying his opponent in just under 17 seconds (WOW!). Knuckles on the other hand has destroyed 3 straight opponents in just under 5 minutes. What's more surprising is all of the fighters he defeated have good chins (Damn!). I'm expecting an early brawl in this one and I think this will end in the first round. Skills wise, it's gonna be Boon's MT going against Knuckles' Boxing. So excited to see how they play each other. A win here will probably bring them into the top 10 P4P! BRING IT ON!
 
Key areas:
KO POWER
Boxing vs MT
Standup strategy
 
Prediction: Knuckles by 1st round TKO
