It's Showtime! Events May 2011.

To kick this blog off I will be taking a look at some of the recent fights put on by the It's Showtime promotion in May 2011. Some kind soul has put a bunch of the fights on youtube; and I probably won't end up linking to them all directly here as I'm sure you can find them for yourselves, but expect to see a few of them pop up over the next few days; with a very brief write up, as I get the hang of using spoiler tags on blogger.

HESDY GERGES vs CHRIS KNOWLES 21st May 2011 - Fight starts about 5:50 for those who can't be bothered to watch the walk ins



GERGES vs KNOWLES SPOILER

A valiant effort from Chris Knowles but eventually Hesdy's class showed through. Knowles more or less held his own in the first round and landed a couple of nice leg kicks, but the taller and more accurate striker Gerges stayed in control of the round. But it took less than a minute of the second round for Hesdy to land a killer combination on Knowles, with a right hook, right uppercut, right hook, left knee to the body and then a devestating straight right which Knowles didn't see coming knocking everything out of Chris Knowles.
