EliteXC: Nick Diaz Vs. Thomas Denny
The opening round of the fight between Nick Diaz and Thomas Denny was such a brawl. With limited defense from both fighters and each throwing their fair share of huge punches it ended up being one of the best rounds of fighting I have seen in a long time. Diaz did own the last part of round one and in turn he dazed Thomas Denny.
By the time the second round had come Thomas Denny had already taken quite a beating. The second round got underway and Nick Diaz just exploded on Denny. He gave him some huge punches and Denny could not take any more. Denny ended up falling and Diaz gave a little ground ‘n’ pound to finish the fight off just 30 seconds into the second round.
This fight gets my vote for Fight of the Night.
