Luan Krasniqi (1-0 1) vs. Nathan Mann (1-0 1) –Krasniqi had been losing to Nino Valdez before KOing him in the 9^th! Mann had stopped Fighting Bob Martin via a TKO on cuts in Round 8.

Luan was the Man in a brutal 1^st. He landed uppercuts & combinations at will, a savage combination almost flooring Mann at the end of the round

, which went 21-5. Mann was more able to avoid punishment in the 2^nd, but still lost, 8-5. They exchanged leather in an exciting 3^rd. Krasniqi landed 30 times, but Mann was a dervish, his jabs & crosses automatic as he landed 49 times, taking the round, 15-11.

Luan rallied for a 12-4 4^th, his hooks and crosses effective. Mann may have taken the 5^th, 8-6, landing a shot to the body that hurt at round’s end. I had Krasniqi up 48-47 at this point. Mann landed the equalizer, a murderous combination, early in the 6^th, and Luan barely made it up at the count of 9. The Rottweiler resembled a Dachshund as he covered up

, and Mann was now the Man, knocking him across the ring into the ropes with a right hook and stunning uppercut! The 20-0 pasting shifted the momentum, and Krasniqi was happy just to have survived the round!

Mann walloped Luan with a hook in the 7^th, But Krasniqi bounced back, clinching until his head cleared and then boxing his way to an 8-4 round. Kras had his cross landing in the 8^th, as Mann was suddenly tired. Luan had a huge lead, but then Nathan rallied in the last minute, cutting it to 13-8, and, more importantly, bringing about a nasty cut to the middle of Luan’s left eyebrow

!

Krasniqi’s cut was still bleeding as he came out for the 9^th, and an aggressive Mann dropped him for a second time with a gnarly combination

. He sprang up at the count of 5, covering up again, and escaped further damage, as Mann was overeager and his timing was off. Still, he took the round, 9-2, though he’d wished for a stoppage.

In the 10^th, Krasniqi battled back, landing a ferocious cross, and suddenly Mann’s nose was bloody, from a nasty break

. He was in obvious pain, and the ref jumped in and halted the contest, awarding a TKO at 2:10 of the 10^th to Krasniqi as a result of the injury! Nathan, who had been leading 86-84 & 87-83 (2), begged to have the fight continued, to no avail

. To the boos of the populace, the decision remained the same, and Krasniqi has dodged a second bullet. He’ll meet the winner of the Layne-Weaver quadrilogy, and can he dodge the salvos his opponent will be firing?
