The Indian based Super Fight League promotion held their third event today (May 6, 2012), streaming the live show on Youtube for free from the IGI Stadium in New Delhi, India.
SFL brought in Phil Baroni to act as part of the color commenting team for the live event. It was certainly interesting having him run around in a leather jacket and no shirt during the show.
The event was headlined by a heavyweight bout between former WWE star Bobby Lashley and traveled veteran James Thompson.
The two fighters would go the distance in their three round match, with most of the exciting action taking place in the first and second round of the fight. Into the second, and more so in the third, both fighters would begin to gas out. The only reprieve for the fighters would have would come in the third after Thompson landed an illegal knee, for which Lashley used all five minutes to recover. In the end the judges would give it to Thompson by a score of 29-28 across the board.
As well as featuring several Indian fighters, there were a few recognizable names such as former WEC champ Doug ‘the Rhino’ Marshall and Trevor Prangley.
