Bronson Brown vs Joe Marless
This was the most waited fight to date , Bronson Brown vs Joe Marless. Bronson having a big reputation and also a very popular person in the Durban community, even though this was Bronson’s debut in MMA he was still not phased at the fact that Joe Marless is no stranger in the ring and also weighing a considerable amount heavier than he is. Bronson is a man with a big heart and no fear, previously a world power lifting champion he promised himself that he will get in the ring with nothing to prove but it was just a personal goal, which he has now accomplished, win or loose.
Joe coming off a loss from his last fight with David Mc Vay was now stepping in the ring with much spoken about Bronson Brown. Not having seen Bronson in the ring before and not knowing much about him other than his reputation, Joe pulled it together and landed a right hander which shook Bronson, stumbling back into the ropes the fight was stopped in the first round after a good show from both fighters. We hope to see Bronson in the ring again in the near future and it would be interesting to see who is going to challenge Joe in the next tournament.
David Mc Vay vs Donavan Hawkey
David Mc Vay coming off a win in his last show down with Joe Marless stepped in the ring with the new wonder kid Donavan Hawke, Donavan coming from a boxing background has taken to MMA rather fast and showing good results and potential. Donavan also coming off a win from his last fight was looking fit and confident.
This was a perfect display of a good fighter and great tecknique, Donavan took David to the ground straight into side control where he slipped over and mounted David Mc Vay, ground and pound is the name of the game and that is what Donavan was doing, David gave the arm and Donavan took full advantage of this and ended the fight with a armbar in the first round. Donavan is showing great skill and potential it would be very interesting to see who is going to be next on his list.
