#4 Nordine Taleb vs. Danny Roberts

Nordine Taleb showcased his KO power yet again

Nordine Taleb’s criminally underrated KO power was showcased yet again opposite Danny Roberts. Taleb ran right through Roberts in dominant fashion in this short and sweet fight.

Taleb didn’t waste much time in the feeling up process and came out strong right away. He read Roberts predictable patterns which included the latter not moving laterally but only in the forward and backward directions.

Taleb took advantage of the same, and dinged Roberts with a huge head kick. One punch later Roberts was out of it and the matchup was brought to an end.

Result: Nordine Taleb def. Danny Roberts via KO (Head Kick and Punch) (Round 1, 0:59)

#5 John Makdessi vs. Abel Trujillo

Makdessi silenced a lot of his doubters with a shut-out win over Abel Trujillo.

This matchup saw both fighters engage in a tactical fight, with neither side willing to give away any big openings. Makdessi seemed to be getting off his shots better and often on Trujillo.

Trujillo seemed considerably frustrated down the stretch which in turn contributed to his shots missing in wild fury; further helping Makdessi run away with the victory.

Result: John Makdessi def. Abel Trujillo via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

#6 Alessio Di Chirico vs. Oluwale Bamgbose

Yet another bad showing for Bamgbose ended up with him getting brutally finished.

Oluwale Bamgbose came out like a man possessed, throwing every shot with 100% power behind, but much like every fight, gassing himself out early. He didn’t have much left in Round 2; with no discernible defense whatsoever.

Di Chirico weathered the early storm and worked his way back into the fight. He smelled blood, and with an exhausted Bamgbose in front of him, he ended the fight with a huge knee.

Result: Alessio Di Chirico def. Oluwale Bamgbose via KO (Knee) (Round 2, 2:14)
