AMARILLO, Texas – It’s tough to say what the most impressive part of
Shark Fights light heavyweight champion Trevor Prangley’s win over Keith
Jardine at Shark Fights 13 really was.
His armbar defense in the opening round of Saturday’s fight looked nice,
and his counterpunching was effective against the always hard-to-hit
Jardine.
But perhaps the two most enduring images from the fight are Prangley
flashing a wide grin at Jardine after taking a flush hook to the jaw
in the opening round and the South African standing tall to a barrage of
desperate strikes in the final minute. Prangley said it was his chin,
adequately shown in those moments, that proved essential for victory.
