Heavyweight: Vladimir Matyushenko (Sabres) vs. Tim Boetsch (Pitbulls)
Boetsche is fighting for the second time in a week. Boetsch starts the fight with a guillotine attempt but Matyushenko gets out of it. Matyushenko ends up on top of Boetsch but the two fighters end up on their feet where they whale away at each other. I give this round to Matyushenko.
In the second round, Boetsch hit Matyushenko with a right hand that appears to rock Matyushenko. But, Matyushenko ends up on top of Boetsch on side control. The two fighters are back on their feet but Boetsch gets Matyushenko back on the ground and attempts a guillotine choke. I give this round to Boetsch.
The third round starts with a takedown by Matyushenko but he can't do anything on the ground. The two get back on their feet and Matyushenko takes Boetsch down again. Matyushenko has Boetsch pinned in the corner where Matyushenko pounds away at Boetsch. Matyushenko ends up on top of Boetsch as the round ends. I give this round to Matyushenko.
I predict Matyushenko wins 29-28.
Official Result: Matyushenko wins by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).
Pitbulls win 3-2. Most of the remaining crowd doesn't wait for the decision to be announced as they head for the doors.
