Lee Moriarty vs Calvin Tankman: Fighting Spirit Heavyweight Grand Prix First Round: paradigm pro wrestling, 15th November 2019.
Moriarty tries to stick and move while Tankman bullies him into the corner. Good start.
Big over-under Beell from Tankman
Moriarty with the educated feet: a roundhouse and side hook kick, stance switching, head movement and footwork.
Tankman keeping his guard up, looking to jab and choose his shots carefully. Feels somewhat authentic so far.

Tankman tries to slow the fight down with a Front Headlock, Moriarty looks to peak out escape and scramble away and Tankman looks to stay smothering him.
This is great stuff and completely logical given the size difference.

A release German with bad intentions from Tankman nearly launches Moriarty out of the ring!
Referee remembering to count is always a plus.
Commentary saying "Big points there"... OK, but how many points? If it's point deductions from a starting 15, what's the score? Inform the audience.

Tankman catches a bicycle knee, Moriarty scrambles away. All believable so far: neither have forgotten their physical abilities and limitations so far.
Moriarty is the much lighter, quicker fighter, Tankman is slower but much more powerful.

Stiff looking palm strikes from Tankman (he's not working stiff, they just look nice and snug). I really dig Tankman not just looking to throw wild haymakers. Suggests a 'Fight IQ' as it's known in combat sports.
A failed shot from Moriarty on a Single leg is repaid in full by Tankman with a release Fisherman's Buster

A push kick to the jaw from Moriarty stuns Tankman, Tankman covers up trying to survive, throws a desperation haymaker that Moriarty slips before eating a roundhouse kick to the head.
Moriarty finishes him with an axe kick and the referee declares the Knock Out.
