Carabello Over Walker at Bellator

For those of us unable to go to the IX Center last night, it was frustrating to watch the live stream on the Internet. The stream started late, and picked up the action about a minute into the 4^th round of Donny's Walker's fight with Frank Carabello.

What we saw was Carabello controlling the distance in the fight with his right, and Walker trying to get inside. From the comments of the announcers, that had pretty much been the fight up to that point. Carabello had controlled the action, and had won the first three rounds.

At 2:25 of the 4th Carabello over extended himself and Walker stepped inside to deliver a left, Carabello countered with a flying knee that caught Walker flush on his chin and he dropped.  The announcers sid Carabello had been using that combination all through the fight, and finally changed it up once he had Walker's timing down.
