Final Thoughts:

  • Matt Wiman shocked me with how easily he dominated Miller. 
  • Pat Barry seemed be holding back on his kicks.  Once he started unloading them, he dominated.  So why did he wait until the 3rd round?
  • Matt Mitrione got a lot of praise after the fight for his improved footwork, handspeed and how he dominated the fight.  Sure, Mitrione won, but didn’t it sound like he was being over-hyped? 
  • Melvin Guillard dominated the previously undefeated Evans.  Guillard said he will go undeafeated this year and will get a title shot in the not to distant future.  Based on his performance last night, Guillard may be right.
