Jeremy Kennedy vs. Alessandro Ricci
R1: Kennedy steers Ricci onto the fence with a wall of jabs from a low stance. Despite Kennedy’s body lock, Ricci circles off the fence. Kennedy returns the favor in the battle for clinch position. They both land short knees to the body on the break. Kennedy lets go with wide punches and, though they glance, Ricci reaches out and snaps Kennedy’s head into a sharp knee.
After another uneventful clinch exchange, Ricci spears Kennedy in the body with another knee, this one of the step-in variety. Kennedy forces another clinch but nothing’s doin’. Kennedy steps back and throws a few blocked punches, then returns to the clinch grind. Ricci holding his own despite constantly giving up double under-hooks in the clinch. Ricci breaks the clinch with another hard knee up the middle. This time Kennedy hits a takedown but Ricci pops right back up to his feet. 10-9 Ricci.
R2: Kennedy connects to the body with his opening flurry, which he again follows into the clinch. Halfhearted high-crotch attempt from Kennedy but he bails on it. The pace slows as Kennedy holds Ricci in the clinch but Kennedy hits an outside trip after the short lull. Ricci slowly works back to his feet and Kennedy stings him with a flurry before putting him back on the fence.
Kennedy steps back and lets his hands go, punching his way through Ricci’s counter knee to the body and finishing another takedown. Ricci stands back up and circles Kennedy onto the fence but he’s not given as much time to work by the ref. After they’re reset in the center, Kennedy again whirs both hands aggressively, closing the round with a decent combo. 10-9 Kennedy.
