Stanonik struggled between stances while Willis was more confident in picking one, and sticking with it. Willis varied his output to the body and to the head, despite increased aggression from Stanonik, who even landed a miracle Superman punch. Nice. Willis, out of nowhere, with a ONE-HITTER-QUITTER! What an uppercut! And Stanonik just got hammered to the floor. He’s still not even moved. What a finish!

We’ve got two 175-pounders up next with Jaleel Willis making his Dirty Boxing Championship debut against an unbeaten Dirty Boxing fighter Peter Stanonik.

Parrish with an early left hand on Smith. Neither of these guys are in optimum shape so we could see fatigue if this does go the decision, like the middleweight scrap, earlier. Considering his size, Parrish is reasonably quick on his feet and able to avoid Smith’s bigger punches. Parrish goes to the body and has to get out the way fast. I’ve seen enough. Somebody’s getting knocked the hell out in this one, likely running into a shot. And it might well be Smith who runs into one! He’s on the floor! Parris has got a knockdown! It’s not a finish but Smith is in a BAD way! Parrish gets close. Smith is on the canvas again but it was more of a throw than being from a punch. Big elbow from Parrish to close the round, and Smith is touching his eye, he’s uncomfortable, and he’s now beaten and through the bottom rope. It’s all over! Big finish from big Parrish!

All eyes now fall on Braxton Smith and Ben Parrish as the heavyweights are tasked with bringing an end to the run of underwhelming decisions, with fireworks.

And here are the scores: 30-27 x 3 for Andrew Stewart!

“I feel real damned good in front of my home crowd,” Stewart said. “I’m not a prelim fighter, especially in Nashville. I’m a main card, guy.”

The crowd boo during the third round of the Stewart vs Mettendaf fight. Stewart telegraphs but still lands his overhand right bomb. His body shots still look good, but Mettendaf leaves it to the final bell before he finally comes alive. Far too little, far too late from him.

Stewart chases Mettendaf around the ring but the bigger man’s feet ensure he evades most of the more powerful strikes. Mettendaf’s fencing left hand is also a reasonable defensive posture. His activity is lacking, though, with Stewart the one to bring the action. Stewart punches the mouthpiece out of Mettendaf to claim the round.,

First impressions are that Mettendaf looks a unit compared to the more diminutive Stewart. Mettendaf keeps things tight defensively, as he waits for his openings. Stewart lands combinations, and rips one-twos at the bigger man’s body — a good strategy when giving up height. While the previous middleweight fight just showcased different ways a fighter could box while knackered, this bout displays the opposite: a full tank, but void of effort.

… Dirty Boxing Championship commentator Brendan Tobin kind of sounds like Shane Gillis.

Staying with middleweight we have hometown favorite Andrew Stewart against Ivanieldo Mettendef who is a friend of Jairzinho Rozenstruik

These guys are EXHAUSTED! I’ve seen worse fights, though. At least they’re still trying, even if it might cause them to KO themselves from fatigue. As had been apparent in the second, and even the first, Cannon’s activity should just coast him through the judges’s scorecards.

And all the judges agreed with a clean 30-27 across the board in favor of Cannon, who now advances to 2-0 in Dirty Boxing Championship.

Though technique has a lot to be desired, Cannon’s winging punches begin to catch Cannon who just can’t seem to get out of the way. After one onslaught, Cannon had his hands on his knees, breathing heavy. Both these guys are spent. But Cannon still pushes the action.

Oh, man.

James Cannon has a winging punching style which is even more exaggerated than Deontay Wilder. He’s just telegraphing the hell out of these shots. Neither of these guys have defense. And just one minute into the fight, it looks like they’re both struggling for air. This was three minutes of feral fighting.

Zaine Burton will hope to match that debutante energy by beating James Cannon, who finished Hector Lombard in his last DBX fight, at middleweight in the third fight of the night.

After three rounds of Dirty Boxing action…

29-28 to Agapova

29-28 to Yanez

And the third judge…

29-28 to … Desiree ‘Dirty Des’ Yanez!

That third judge is pretty much how we at Uncrowned scored it, as Yanez scores a win on her debut for the promotion.

With it all to play for in the third, both fighters abandon their defense to just sock each other again and again and again. Head shots. Body blows. Elbow tips. How are they not exhausted?! Agapova is backed onto the turnbuckle, struggles to fight her way out of the vulnerable area, as Yanez keeps her pinned. Eventually Yanez lets her free, more from her own tiredness, surely, than anything. 10 seconds left on the clock. Yanez empties the gas tank! Surely she takes it on the cards.

Yanez just doesn’t stop coming in the second! There is brutal pressure from ‘Dirty’ Des, with body-shots, elbows. Just horrible. Yanez fences to distance-measure and then whacks her at the end. She was almost out on her feet at the start of the round but battled back wonderfully! We could be one round each heading into the third and final round.

Agapova and Yanez also bring their action, following the tempo of the first bout nicely, but with different styles. Both women have longer arms than the men, and so the leverage they naturally have when landing their shots are a contrast to the phone-booth nature of the first fight.

Mariya Agapova takes on ‘Dirty’ Desiree Yanez in the night’s next bout
