 SPFT 69 Skylar vs Loaf 2 REVIEW
Hi, how are you, and other pleasantries. We've got fights to discuss. I think it's safe to say this was a successful card. Lets get to the fights.
Frank Mac over Dave Lee via KO (Punch) 1:34 into round 3
What a comeback to start off the night. Frank Mac barely survived the first round as he was rocked and cut open in the final minute. In the second round, he fared a little better but it still seemed like Lee was controlling the action and having more success landing strikes. All that said, when the third round started, Mac was thirsty for blood. He started landing shot after shot until finally he dropped Lee with a straight right.

Alexander Lansing over Haiki Masatupo via KO (Head Kick) 0:33 into round 2
In many ways this was another come from behind knock out. Not nearly to the extent of the Frank Mac fight, but it can be argued things weren't going Lansing's way in the first round. He was taken down early and had to fight off Masatupo's submission attack. He played it safe, managed to escape to his feet eventually. Other than that take down, Lansing was in control of the standup throughout. In the second round, Lansing came out strong. He seemed to know he couldn't get caught mounted by a tough opponent like Masatupo again. At just over the 30 second mark in the round, Lansing unleashed one of the most viscous head kicks I've ever fake seen, to knock out Masatupo in his tracks.

Mogul Khan over Johnny Davis via Decision (Unanimous)
Here is a summary of the first two rounds. Khan gets a takedown, Davis defends submissions. It was a battle, but Khan clearly was controlling the action from the start and Davis was surviving. In the third round Davis made his attempt to come back, but he just seemed worn down from the grind of the first two rounds. He landed some shots, but so did Khan. Khan also was able to get another take down. He was less effective on the ground, but it was still a take down. Khan may have played it safe in the third, but Davis clearly needed a finish to win the fight.

Zenek Ziemski over Sameer Hamadoui via Submission (Kimura) 1:37 into round 1
Ziemski's came in to this fight, very focused to execute his game plan. He got a quick take down after avoiding a few strikes and then worked for a submission. There's not much else to say. This guy is a beast on the ground. Hamadoui was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Severi Turpaansaaja over Tycho Brahe via TKO (Strikes) 4:27 into round 2
Brahe simply couldn't hang with Turpaansaaja in the clinch. He was overwhelmed by the constant stream of punches that came in and rarely was able to land a shot of his own. “Turpy”, as George Tycoon refers to him, brought the dirtiest of boxing to the ring and Brahe couldn't match it. Turpy is moving up in the SPFT world.
George Tycoon's Total Prediction Score: 4.5
TJ Griffin over Armas Paisti via KO (Punch) 0:18 into round 2
Wow, what a war. These two stood toe to toe like rock-em sock-em robots until one of their heads went flying off. They traded shots for the entirety of the fight. Paisti landed some, Griffin landed some, neither gave in. Early in the second Griffin landed a couple right hooks that finished the job. Great fight.
George Tycoon's Total Prediction Score: 5.5
Karl Thomas over Aodhan o hAodha via TKO (Head Kick) 0:26 into round 2
Thomas outclassed his opponent from the start of the fight until he finished it early in the second round. Try as he might, o hAodha couldn't do a damn thing against the aggressive and accurate strikes of Thomas. If this had gone to a decision I would have scored the first round as 10-8 for Thomas. That is how dominant this performance was.
George Tycoon's Total Prediction Score: 7
Toshihiro Kai over Heinrich Dussander via Decision (Unanimous)
At no point in this fight did it seem like Dussander was in control of the action. He landed some shots, but Kai always landed more. He could break the clinch, but Kai would always drag it back. Dussander wasn't completely dominated, but I just don't think he did enough to win any of the rounds. Kai is the champ. Who's next?
George Tycoon's Total Prediction Score: 8.5
Riel Dan Reyes over Dwyane Wade via TKO (Strikes) 3:57 into round 1
Wade made a huge mistake in this fight and Reyes took full advantage. Reyes quickly ended up in mount after wade scored an early take down. From that point forward it was all about Reyes' ground and pound and the eventual first round finish in the co-main event. Solid performance from Reyes.
George Tycoon's Total Prediction Score: 8.5
Sergiy Sklyar over Meat Loaf via Decision (Unanimous)
We started the night with a big comeback and we end it with a big comeback. Meat Loaf was handling things quite well in the first two rounds. He had Sklyar right where he wanted him, he just couldn't make any of those submissions stick. Lets be honest. The striking was a little lacking in this fight. It was really about who had top control and was being aggressive. Through the first two rounds, Loaf took it easily. Through the next three, I'd have to agree with the judges and say Sklyar did enough. A couple of times, Loaf may have been more aggressive in the final three rounds, but Sklyar didn't really let him have anything. It was more like Loaf was grasping for control of the round. Three rounds to two. Close fight at the top of a close division.
