(Its almost like nobody wants to tell Buffer that its 2007 because its just so funny to hear him call it 2006 time and time again.)
RD1:
Touch up and we are ready to go.. Feitosa and Bonjasky begin with a flurry of leg kicks leg checks and jabs, with Feitosa controlling the tempo of the fight for the first minute or so of round one. Remy is in a defensive stance waiting to find an opening on Feitosa.. guarding and landing kicks to the legs/torso from time to time. Feitosa lands a beautiful axe kick on Bonjasky but little if any damage was done.. Bonjasky is keeping his gloves over his face to the point where Feitosa could easily exploit the wide open ribs. Several push kicks by Feitosa and two or three blocked hooks by Bonjasky and we reach the end of round 1
I score this round 10-9 Feitosa
Bonjasky was cringing during the break between rounds.
RD2:
More of the same, with Feitosa continuing to push the action.. could Bonjasky be playing rope-a-dope? Bonjasky lands a leg kick and jab to Feitosa, but with little under 1 minute left in this second round it is obvious that Feitosa has the momentum rolling still and has landed a good deal more blows than Bonjasky has. Bonjasky is doing absolutely nothing, his heart is not in it tonight at all. Aside from a shin to the body left hook to the head combo nothing much has damaged Feitosa.. Bonjasky throws a flying knee but it connects after the bell, and Feitosa had it blocked anyhow.
rd2 - 10-8 Feitosa
RD3:
Bonjasky comes in throwing punches and kicks 100 miles an hour with Feitosa in the defensive, returning leg checks when able. Bonjasky has worked Feitosa into the corner and has landed a flying knee and several nice kicks but Feitosa recoveres and pushes the pace and almost manages to get Bonjasky in the opposite corner of the ring. Feitosa is starting to get a little tired. Spinning back kick to Bonjasaky, countered by the flying gentleman with a trademark knee. Under 1 minute remains and Feitosa is weathering the storm of Bonjasky this round. In the last 10 seconds Bonjasky lands 3 high kicks 2 straights and around 3 hooks, winning this round 10-9 on my cards. Unless extra rounds are declared I see this fight going to Feitosa via split decision.
Judges declare 30-29 30-29 and one 29-29 draw, making the winner Remy Bonjasky, which was a total shocker to me. I was almost 100% guarenteeing this fight would see a RD4 at least. Was one of the most exciting fights of the evening, very technical.
