Cannon first to the face with the fist. Thammer using his mixed style to try and even things out at the end. A Thammer kick lands, so he continues to throw them. The third sees more kick attempts, and Cannon seems to have backed off in this fight. Round four was more kicks, Cannon starting to throw back but nothing landing. Both men are exhausted. Fifth sees a lot of attempts and no landing strikes by either opponent. Exhaustion wins this fight.
lol just a little bit though...
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
