The pairings and results for the third bracket of Round 2 are as follows (level 1 fighters bolded in pairings):Eddie Gregg vs Joey GuyLarry Alexander vs. Bonbadier Billy WellsChina Smith vs. Primo CarneraLee Oma vs. Frank Slavin

The fans at the Adams Mark were treated to quite a show with this bracket

!

Eddie Gregg vs Joey Guy – Gregg had demolished Lynn Ball with a 1st round KO, while Guy had proven that an average Joe could get a decision over a King. So the two boxers whose first and last names could be used as first names squared off!

Guy opened well, punching out an 11-6 1st round where he cut Gregg over the right eye. Gregg was bidding to be a level 1 fighter advancing to the Sweet Sixteen, and his bid was hurt when he lost a point in the 2nd for low blows, taking the luster off a round he dominated, 14-4, highlighted by a hammering hook!

It was all-Gregg in the 3rd. He put Guy down with a wicked combination for a 3 count, then landed two huge hooks for a score of 19-2! His cut was reopened in the 4th, so he went into whirling dervish mode and landed two boom-boom hooks and two crunching crosses, 17-6 at the end! Joey’s right eye was swelling by then, so it seemed a question of which injury would get worst first!

Gregg poured it on in the 5th, flooring the game Guy for a 2 count and then a 5 count! With the score 29-2, the ref halted the fight, Gregg the winner by a TKO at 2:00 of the 5th! His devastating wins to date belie the fact that he’s a level 1!

Larry Alexander vs. Bonbadier Billy Wells – Alexander had used one huge round to decision Daroll Wilson, while Wells was being clobbered by Duane Bobick when the fight was stopped on cuts!

Billy caught Alexander flush on the chin with a huge cross, but Larry stayed on his feet, ducking and clinching until the cobwebs cleared, then landing a few counters of his own to reduce the margin to 9-6. They traded power punches in the 2nd, but Billy’s big uppercut got his the round, 15-11.

Alexander won a relatively quiet 3rd, 10-4, then he started the 4th with a bang, belting Bombadier Billy with an uppercut and a sharp combination! Billy countered with a big hook of his own, and rallied in the last minute to take the lead, 14-12! Alexander threw a wild overhand right early in the 5th. It landed flush, and Wells dropped for the count, Alexander getting the KO at 0:53 of the 5th! Both fighters left to the cheers of the capacity crowd

!

China Smith vs. Primo Carnera – China was awesome in knocking out David Defiahbon, while Carnera made even shorter work of Ahmed Abdin for his KO! The betting line was that this fight wouldn’t last the distance!

This was a vicious, rock-em, sock-em robots fight! China scored with a huge combination and hook before sending Primo to the canvas for a 7 count, the round ending 17-3. Carnera, a wily veteran, benefited from a head butt in round 2, as a mouse formed on Smith’s right eye and swelled significantly, causing a temporary halt. Carnera won the round, 7-4.

Things went from bad to worse for China in the 3rd. Carnera landed a number of punches, to the tune of 12-0, and China’s eye was looking even worse! The 4th found Carnera finding the range against the almost one-eyed Smith with two booming hooks! He then knocked Smith to the canvas for a 7 count and for a 1 count at the bell! The round was 24-4, and China’s eye was a mess, with the ref almost stopping the fight!

Coming out like a madman in the 5th, China went inside and belted Carnera with a cross, then followed up, not giving the giant a chance to go after his eye! He found Primo’s jaw with a mountain-toppling uppercut, and Da Preem went down for a 3 count! China was relentless and pressed on, raining blow after blow on Carnera, until the ref stopped the fight, Smith the winner by a TKO, at 2:46 of the 5th! The score at that time was 30-7 for that round!

What a fight! Both men looked like they’d been through a meat-grinder. China’s fan contingent, hailing in part from Winter Park, may have made the difference! When asked after the fight if he’d like a rematch, Primo replied “not in this universe!” But it could happen. This was a fight where neither fighter deserved to be eliminated

!

Lee Oma vs. Frank Slavin – Oma had convincingly beaten a crowd favorite, Soldier Kearns, while Slavin had decimated everyone’s favorite, Jukebox Timebomb. The fans were hoarse after the prior bout, so these two almost felt they were fighting in a church!

They traded the first 2 rounds, Slavin landing a nice cross for a 14-4 1st, then dropping the 2nd, 13-7, when he was cut inside the left eyebrow. There was a ton of action in the next 3 rounds. Slavin hammered home two big hooks and a crushing uppercut in the 3rd, which was 16-12. The fight was stopped as his cut reopened, but he was allowed to continue.

Slavin won a hotly-contested 4th, 15-10, when his cross at the end wobbled Oma! Oma was on the short end again in the 5th, 14-8, as Slavin landed two more powerful uppercuts, giving him a nice lead through 5. Oma jabbed nicely in the 6th, and was ahead 14-6 when the fight was halted and then stopped after Slavin’s cut reopened. It went into the books as a TKO at 2:57 of the 6th, Oma the winner. Slavin’s corner felt they was robbed

!

So this quartet of fights was action-packed, and the crowd settled back into their seats to watch the final four fights of this Round 2! Mixed martial arts and ultimate fighting had nothing on this set of fights!
