Shark FIGHTS 13 Results: Prangley & Alexander Survive!!



Trevor Prangley defeats Keith Jardine by Split-Decision. The "Dean Of Disappointment" cited a migraine before the start of the fight as his Achilles heel in starting slow but also we should give credit to the South African who ignores father time while improving his veteran game. Jardine's chin is "questionable" to be very gracious, but those high knees were very nice and Keith had no idea they were coming. The recovery after being dropped a mere 4 times in the 1st round was amazing though. Triangle, armbar, and even heel hook all almost found their mark but again, credit the Shark Fights Light Heavyweight Champion for beautifully and deftly escaping all of the peril he was placed in. In the 2nd, they started slow again until a right hand dropped Keith for the 5th time though he would recover. Desperately down 2 obvious rounds (more on that later), a not "Mean," but content looking Jardine began the 3rd. He did not attack, he did not fight like he needed the stoppage to win and seemed to be letting the fight go. Then, just under the final minute, Jardine began to lose his mind with a brutal blitzkrieg attack that was blasting Trevor. Prangley fought back perhaps on instinct, and even looked like he was about to fall when Keith just gassed out and gave away the final 10 seconds with his hands on his knees.
* Well, that's about 6 in a row and just for the sake of confidence, Jardine needs a fight with an opponent he can definitely beat. The cat is a great guy and has fought just the best added with some bad luck and just the most awkward gorilla with turrets style ever seen. I root for the guy but the chin will always be an issue, and make it about against a man with zero stand up ability. Trevor Prangley gets a big name win for his career and hopefully some meaningful fights.

Houston Alexander defeats Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou by Rd. 2 TKO. I'm pretty sure I've seen Sokojoke fight this exact same fight 3 or 4 times. Soko came out firing on all cylinders while Houston seemed tentative again like his disastrous performance against Kimbo Slice. A sneaky left hand dropped Alexander and he was up and down more than Paris Hilton's head in the back of a limo auditioning for another movie. It was just a brutal beatdown though Houston clung to a leg in desperation which did save his ass. Wobbly and with a distant look in his eyes, Alexander survived miraculously and going to the 2nd everyone saw what was coming. Sokojoke got rocked by Houston almost immediately and you could see him quit as the barrage seemed endless. Sokojoke was hurt bad and as the planet Houston swarmed with brutality and everyone within view screamed for the stoppage.
* What an amazing and inspirational comeback for a really good guy! Houston survived on instinct which was impressive while I would be content to never see Sokojoke fight again. The guy just sucks and cannot fix the obvious holes in his game. The referee should be forced into the cage alone with Rameau and they can discuss the late stoppage.

Danillo Villefort took an almost easy Unanimous Decision win over Joey Villasenor who has seen the peak of his career.

Tarec Saffiedine Upset veteran Brock Larson for a Unanimous Decision victory. The Belgium striker from Strikeforce used his impressive stand-up arsenal to avoid damage take the bout on points.
