Whoa, this was another good fight (but it experienced a brief simming delay due to my washer overflowing and causing hell). But once it happened, the crowd was happy. These guys are both very tough, and came out hitting HARD. A fast combination by Volkov is what made the difference here though, as some of those shots hit clean, and Gary was hurt. He is a tough bastard though and fought for another 2 rounds on willpower alone and managed to get some good shots in of his own. His conditioning was great, whereas Volkov's was poor, so I was wondering if we would see a complete turn around as this progressed, but we did not. Volkov finished Gary before he was totally gassed. Otherwise, this could have been another epic comeback.
