i just watched the hunt-nakasako match, and i was surprised how exciting it
was. nakasako gave a good account of himself. he landed quite a few kicks
in the first round, but they didnt seem to have much effect on mark. mark
did some nice bodywork with punching and kneeing, and he knocked down nakasako
down towards the end of the round with a knee to the midsection.
in the second round mark was lowering his head, getting ready to charge
when nakasako caught him with a nice right high kick and sent him down.
mark was battling his way back when nakasako caught him in the face with
another high kick, staggering him against the ropes. hunt looked pretty
woozy when nakasako made the "jerome lebanner " mistake of going after him
and trying to punch him out ;) nakasako landed a couple of punches, but
mark landed a big left uppercut that knocked him down and gave mark time
to regroup. nakasako couldnt recover after that and it was only a matter of time until hunt finally knocked him out.
this was the most impressive performance ive seen out of nakasako, maybe
hell show more heart in the future.
i think mark's future opponents will look to score with a lot of kicks,
high and low. but watch out for his counter punching, even if he seems to be
in trouble!
