Barrington Douse vs. Josh Spearman
This is was a back and forth three round battle between two excited fighters. It was a show case for Douse’s striking and Spearman’s takedowns. Douse landed some hard knees, kicks and punches but it never slowed down Spearman one bit. Spearman absorbed all the punishment Douse could dish out and just kept on getting takedowns over the course of three rounds. The ring announcer announces a split decision for Spearman, but after a closer look at the score cards, the split decision goes in favor of Douse. This was the fight of the night, in my opinion.
Winner Barrington Douse Split Decision
