#12 Tae-Shik Kim vs #37 Paul Gonzalez 17-1-0-3
Kim looks very impressive winning the first round quite handily and Gonzalez' left eye is swollen horribly as the round comes to a close. round 2 is better for Gonzalez but still not enought to match Kim who landed some nice vombos. The left eye is really becoming a problem for Gonzalez. The thrid round is pretty uneventful but Kim does enough to win the round.The fourth is huge as Gonzalez is dropped with a flush right hand for a 9 count and to make matters worse Gonzalez' right eye is now swelling.Gonzalez shows tremendous heart as he is dropped again in the fifth. his left eye is practically closed but he is still pressing the action.Gonzalez had a decent round 6 but Kim continues to outland Gonzalez with blistering hooks.Gonzalez is having a good round seven until Kim hits him with a right uppercut that drops Gonzalez again and gamely he rises to his feet. Not enough time in the round for Kim to finish him off.What a final round both guys go for the KO and the first shot Kim lamds drops Gonzalez for a three count he rises only to get dropped again with a hook to the body,amazingly he rises again and manages to rock Kim with 10 seconds left the decision is a fore gone conclusion 80-68 on all three cards Tae-Shik Kim
#5 Alfonso Lopez 19-0-0-3 vs #53 Shoji Oguma 23-1-1-11
Great first round as both guys exchange crisp punches with the edge going to Lopez.In rounds two and three Oguma gets on his bicycle and easily wins the rounds. Round four Lopez bounces back with some great counters and picks up the round. The fifth is evenly fought and too close to call.Ogama wins the sixth with great outside boxing and quick combos.Again the seventh is close as Lopez wins the early part of the round with crisp counterpunches but Oguma takes the last half of the round with incredible combos. In the eight Lopez moves inside and does some great infighting and wins the round. The ninth is fought in the center of the ring with both man landing hard shots. I think Lopez edged it out in the final seconds with a dazzeling combo. Lopez clearly wins the tenth with awesome counterpunching. The decision 95-95, 97-94 Lopez and 95-95 a majority draw. I felt Lopez did enough to pull it out
#8 Hi-Sup Shin 19-0-0-13 vs #21 Koji Kobayashi 14-0-0-4
Should be a great main event. Only problem Kobayashi may face is he is only at pre prime while the harder punching Shin is at prime.Kobayashi chose to trade with Shin which wasn't a good idea as Shin landed some bombs and easily picks up the first round. Kobayashi used the ring more in the second but wasn't able to stay away from Shin as he outlanded Kobayashi to win round two. In the third Kobayashis boxing ability begins to shine as he outclasses Shin to win the third. Shin rebounds in the fourht completely dominating Kobayashi when Kobayashi lands a right hand that opens a cut above Shins right eye. The doc examines it and the round continues.Shin is dominant agian in the fifth and this time he opens a cut over Kobayashi's right eye. The sixth is another big round for Shin as he is able to widen the cut and cause swelling under Kobayashis' right eye the doc examines it and the fight continues.Shin is once again dominating the 7th round when Kobayashi lands a keft right combo that starts the blood flow going again this time the ringside physician stops the bout Koji Kobayshi wins by TKO here in round 7. Shin was up on all three score cards 58-56 twice and 59-55. A rematch is definately in order.
