The fight between John Burbol and John Antanitis was fairly even on the feet. Burbol landed the bigger shots but in the end it was the takedowns that made the difference. An argument could be made that Burbol won round 2 having rocked Antanitis a few times. But the judges disagreed scoring the fight 30-27 x 3 for John AntanitisPaul Compton's fight was a war. His opponent, Tony Castillo, came out with some very eccentric footwork, which kept Paul at bay for the first few minutes of the fight. Once Paul found his timing and range though and landed a few solid shots Castillo changed tactics to closing distance and wrestling. This worked better and the judges gave Castillo the edge in round 1.
Round 2 was Paul's. He worked the standup well, and did the necessary damage to take the round. Round 3 saw Castillo return to wrestling and control most of the round on the ground. Paul was very active from the bottom, but was not able to do enough to convince the judges. Final score on the bout was 29-28 for Tony Castillo
