1) Niko Boscarino vs. Kevin Zalac: Pro middleweight fight. Zalac is listed by NAAFS as 8-0-1, but who knows what he is as a pro. They mix pro and amateur bouts together for records.
FIGHT: Zalac TKO Rnd 1. This is a semicompetitive fight with Boscarino coming at Zalac and landing a lot of stuff in the clinch. However, Zalac can get the fight down with an armbar attempt and once it is on the mat, he's got the advantages. He eventually takes Boscarino's back and pounds him out to ref stop. Boscarino landed a lot though on a guy who isn't that great. Cut him too. (0)
2) Dan Spohn vs. John Hawk: Light heavyweight fight with NAAFS' beloved heavyweight turned light heavyweight.
FIGHT: Spohn Unanimous Decision. Ugh, this was terrible to watch. I don't even want to break down both men. As usual, Hawk ends up looking like a light heavyweight Tim Sylvia and fights that way too. They end up against the cage the majority of the time with Spohn landing by far the more telling blows within the clinch and even at distance. Spohn is terribly sloppy - he was landing arm shots with a foot in the air moving backwards and banging up Hawk - imagine if his feet were planted right! Hawk does persevere and get a takedown late in the fight but does basically nothing with it. Spohn is the best 205lb prospect in the NAAFS and I think Razak Al-Hassan fucks him up bad. Given that he's beaten everyone of value that promotion promotes, I'd like to see it. Why the hell not? (0)
OVERALL FOR THE SHOW: 2.5 out of 10. Again, a long bad fight after a short but semi exciting one featuring guys no one will remember ever having been MMA fighters except themselves and a couple family members in 10 years.
