Rest of Bracket 3 Results

David Defiahbon vs. China Smith – China Smith, proud of his fan contingent, started off even better than Bobick had, decking David with a straight right for a 7 count to begin the fight! David danced and covered up, losing the round but staying the course, 16-5.

China attacked again in the 2nd, swarming all over Defiahbon, with a smashing hook giving him a 13-2 round. David landed more in the 3rd, but still lost, 14-7. The 4th was a slugfest, both fighters going toe to toe, no quarter asked and none given! David landed well, but couldn’t match up in power to China’s 2 booming hooks, 3 pile-driving uppercuts and one freight-train cross, and lost the round, 31-16. The crowd saluted both fighters for the non-stop action in this round!

Mindful of what happened to Bobick, China was all over D in the 5th, giving him little chance to land, and notched another easy round, 19-3. The 6th was the swan song, this time with the leader winning, as China put him down for a 3 count KD, and then a 4 count one! Then, with a final Thorian hammer blow, Smith got the KO at 2:32 of the 6th (ahead 37-0 at the time)! Defiahbon later asked what train had run over him. It was Freight Train China Smith, who has to be a strong contender based on this massacre!
Ahmed Abdin vs. Primo Carnera – This was like déjà vu with the Smith fight! Da Preem outscored Abdin 91-21, getting a KO at 2:29 of the 5th! He landed many heavy punches, hooks, crosses and uppercuts, and was rarely touched. Either he fought a poor opponent or he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with!

Soldier Kearns vs. Lee Oma – Soldier, a 4-1-3 veteran of the Tournament of the Turkeys, came out firing his heavy guns, landing an uppercut flush on Oma’s jaw that staggered Lee. Soldier won that round, 15-8, but that was his last hurrah, as Oma solved his style from then on, winning the next 4 rounds handily.

Soldier must have run out of ammo, as Lee pummeled him 17-2 in the 6th, then got a 4 count KD at the end of round 7, a 22-8 round. In the 8th, Oma took pity on Soldier (pity his hands were starting to hurt from landing 330 punches to 137) and settled for a 17-8 round. Oma was the unanimous winner by a 79-72 margin.
Jukebox Timebomb vs. Frank Slavin – Slavin exploded on Timebomb at the fight beginning, decking him for a 6 count! To Jukebox’s credit, Slavin didn’t land any more punches that round, so it ended 7-2. Frank measured Jukebox and dropped him again in the 2nd, this time with a straight right for an 8 count. He followed this with two smashing crosses, but Jukebox refused to go down, losing 21-6.

The 3rd was a quiet 7-8 round, Juke’s best of the night. In the 4th, Timebomb resembled a yo-yo, going down for a 7 count and then again for a 5 count, at which juncture the ref kindly stopped the fight at the 2:57 mark, Slavin the winner by a TKO! Jukebox insisted he could have fought on, an assertion backed by his manager and mentor, Danny Wofford. If he had, Slavin might have set a record for most KDs in a fight!

This completed this bracket of the opening round, with one more to go. The fans were hoarse from hollering, and all agreed that they’d gotten their money’s worth for this bracket! Hope the readers have enjoyed it as well!
