[EndlessCritic]

[Guld]

Big takedown from Kirk.

 

[Guld]

A bit of control by Kirk, but the striking (and more importantly the dmg) was big in Ribovics' favor.
2-1 Ribovics

 

[Vir_Ars]

that was a dog's fight

 

[PuertoRican]

Kirk looked good until he didn't. Good performance from Ribovics.

Kirk always looks good in rd 1, then usually gasses, he beat amirkhani because that is even a worse gasser...

Makwan hasn't trained in a decent gym in a long time. Pretty bad look for Estevan getting controlled like that in rd 1 by Kirk but a good comeback in later rounds.

 

[Broe.]

Ribovics keeps coming. He has got a great spirit and reacts well to getting hit. He does have some problems on the mat though.

 

[EndlessCritic]

ded.

 

[sonhow]

Jesus what a KO
