Pat Barry vs Cheick Kongo
Two kickboxers here. Pat Barry (left) is the better kicker but the Parisian Cheick Kongo (right) is massive. Sadly too young to be cast as a villain in a Van Damme flick, Kongo boasted a chiseled physique before and now apparently carries an extra ten pounds of muscle.
Pat Barry is a small heavyweight, at 5'11" but has really thick legs, is sort of fat and actually outweighs Kongo, who is probably around 5 percent body fat. If Kongo were smart he would take Barry down and lay on top of him.
Round 1: The bell sounds and Barry is already starting with the leg kicks. Barry trying to get in on Kongo, but he’s probably just trying to set up his kicks. Barry with another leg kick. Barry stalking Kongo around the ring. Kongo going for a leg kick, but Barry checks it nicely.
Barry rocks Kongo with an overhead right; Miragliotta looks like he is going to stop the fight but lets it go. Kongo gets up but falls back on his ass immediately. Kongo is out on his feet. Big Dan lets it go and somehow Kongo gets up.
In the scramble Kongo pops Barry in the face and Barry is totally out with his eyes rolling back in his head. Disgusting. Kongo won that one on straight brainstem.
Wow. Phenomenal finish. Really impressive win for the Frenchman. Dana’s going to drop a wad on him for that one. We have no idea how he weathered that storm. Barry really should have won but he just wasn’t able to seal the deal.
