Las Vegas, Nevada "ShoBox" middleweight tournament finals

Anthony Hanshaw vs. Jean Paul Mendy, Fight was called a draw!
I think "not fun to watch" would be the best way to describe the fight, both fighters wanted the win, however left the fans not wanting to see this one again.

Both fighters will most likely fight again, and the second time around one would hope for a better ending. so we are just going to have to wait till they fight again to find out who the "Sho Box" middleweight tournament winner is...

Co-feature:

Jose Antonio Izquierdo vs. Nick Casal

Jose started off slow and out of rhythm for the first three rounds, however he started to pick up the pace in round 4, and steadily began to pounce on Nick Casal.

To his credit Casal took all that Izquierdo could throw at him, he just did not seem to have the power to keep the more aggressive fighter away.

Jose Antonio Izquierdo now moves to 16 - 0 - 1 with 13 KO's
