Anthony baby face Blackburn won the toss he is the minus 145 favorite minute State view on power slap one KO James Santa Maria in the second round how about this though Michael says he didn’t remember anything until the match was over went into a total Zone almost blacked out and that’s how it is I mean listen a lot of the timing my fives but I was competing even when I won I had no idea what happened until he watched it back afterwards and that’s what he said as you mentioned got a great knockout last time out looking to repeat that since last time he saw him he’s moved to Detroit he’s working some restaurants he works on trucks he stays very very busy but he’s been training very hard for this one he was two and two pounds when he signed up that was cut down to 175 following a very very strict guy only no carbohydrates throwing a few beers and while he’s at it you know cheats over the food again you call a keto I call it a steak and beer diet all I really eat is steak tough to do when you work at a pizza place in his hometown of Wyandotte Michigan says he wants to continue his power slap career and hopefully earn enough money so he can start his own pizza place you meant studying a lot of different techniques especially an extended wind up that’s the one thing he’s really focused on been watching a lot of other guys Anthony baby face Blackburn trying to improve to two and O in powerslap the pride of Wyandotte mission he is the number four ranked welterweight Contender Cole Young 26 years old from Hornell New York a plus 115 Underdog despite the fact that he was shot out of a cannon in his debut a power slap one a devastating first round knockout of Jay Rivera and this guy is unbelievable when you watch him and you know his story it really is one yeah the story is it’s kind of heartbreaking listen in life we all needed why his why is his son suddenly he’s diagnosed with the condition of CDG so completely power slab allows him not to work from time to spend as much time as possible at home for this young son listen this man’s got an extensive background it’s various Sports there’s no mixed martial arts has done kickboxing he’s played baseball on that baseball he feels will really allow him to get a good amount of torque generate a lot of power when he’s not doing that when he’s not competing he’s out there killing thinks the man’s a hunter is the taxidermist specialist Spurs and turns Spurs and Spurs attacks Again part of me a little more Showmanship from Cole Young this time around as we take a look at the tail of the tape the underdog is two inches taller and has a two inch reach advantage on the favorite Hawaiian dot Michigan Anthony Blackburn let’s send it to our power slap announcer Justin Bernard ladies and gentlemen this match is scheduled for three rounds in the power slap welterweight division introducing to you first out of the blue corner with a professional record one win zero losses he stands by beat nine inches tall

action begins a referee and charge Chris tyony winner of the coin toss and striking purse Anthony Blackburn [Music] so one thing to remember here Cole young guys so this will be the first time he has practiced eating shots one of the few slap Fighters we’ve heard that does is he wears head in here and he has his MMA coach go to about 75 80 shots I mean listen that’s not a bad idea he’s the only person to bring that up but he’s kind of got to get used to it whatever it is you got to get used to taking shots so he’s done that he’s been there’s nothing ever but not on the power slap stage [Applause] is it for all of it incredible that was a nice shot by Blackburn I can’t believe Cole Young ain’t that like he did move in right there you can hear the impact did not phase him one little bit sir competitors such an absolute assassin right on three I don’t know it’s gonna make it through this you must measure yeah and you can see that was the first time you can see the relief in his eyes he’s like I’ve got this I can take it I’m gonna put this man to sleep instantly [Applause] come on his left eye I don’t know if you remember from our meeting it’s already small it’s kind of it’s kind of good joke I would never do that I did say that um Here We Go Again both guys have eaten round two for Blackburn that’s a hell of a shot and again though look at that storms on everybody’s like come on I got this it’s almost like a strategy like a mini roll like he’s blocking away right yeah sir come on I don’t know if that reduces the impact at all but I think it’s brilliant go ahead and get seen you see it here definitely look at the size of his face how about the Crowd Oh Taylor will want in the house one of the buses with the boys guys nice to see four M3 right on three he’s loving injured right on three with a measure all right with the measure one defend in the arm s this one rock baby face a little more than that first round strike [Applause] sailing fabulous time Fair blue these guys are freaking animals both of them yeah you see yeah black but now baby we got some time look at it here that’s the high side the face distorts stays on the face chill out let’s chill out there competitor set let’s go with 15 okay score 15. two [Music] this is our second match of the night it has been a back and forth but right on one I’m filming at a very high level here in Las Vegas measure yeah that was a good one it seemed to affect him at all it doesn’t affect it the redness on his face all you got here hey hey for for everything bro for everything right here [Music] move forward just a little he El he moves right out of it hell yeah baby good snip baby the stay set right there I thought he smiled straight away he loves him right on three so we need to clean strikes won the first two rounds which is up in the air here it goes [Applause] you can tell by the sound of the hip hop fingers that’s devastating that’s not good it’s a one point deduction for stepping foul red stepping this could potentially cost the fight right here oh that is a that’s a tough one that’s really close you’re allowed to have a minor heel lift in my opinion that’s exactly what that was that was a lucky that wasn’t like Emmanuel Moonies no it wasn’t ablated foul that’s a tough one three times you rock the three times you stood there and ate that brother Ryan Phillips he came over to me before he said let’s not let a height you were doing a pretty good job you could be a coach in a height Man Too there you go that’s what I said let’s have a look here look at the feet look at the heels [Music] [Applause] it’s so minor he pivoted a little bit the heel came off the ground it wasn’t crazy it was not egregious that’s the word I was looking for I guess by the letter of the law is that stepping yes but it is the most minor infraction of Stephanie that is going over the speed limit by five miles an hour you’re good bro I think you got it I have right now we’re looking at a draw potentially let’s see what the judges well it looks to be inside you already had a black guy coming in this is one of those occasions rare occasions where I hope I’m wrong I always like to see somebody go hop a winner you know when you sacrifice this amount but no matter what competitive realm it is saying that though I’m sure both guys would rather have a draw than go home and lose it good looking fun man my eyes all blurry and yeah his eyes uh screwed up there look at that look at that oh man that’s gonna get worse it’s about one of my eyes if you want oh these guys are actually buddies yeah we’re talking a lot of smack during the deal and Anthony Blackburn said hey man listen if there’s anybody I want to win besides me it’s Cole Young you know it makes martial arts the number one criteria is damaging but look at that damage Cole Young takes that so let’s take a look round one here good shot big shot and well taken by Cole Young he responds he kind hell of a blow round two same again once again Carl Jung just walks away these guys were going toe-to-toe an impressive match the centers Justin Bernard ladies and gentlemen after three rounds we go to the judge’s scorecards for a decision the judges scored the contest 29-27 Blackburn 28-28 and 28-28 this match is a majority draw [Applause] I mean I’m huge bro
