Artsy, calm, composed and FLASHY!! that’s exactly how Zabit performed tonight. Right in the opening round, Zabit missed a cartwheel head kick which could have sealed the fate of Kyle. Using his long reach and quick footwork Zabit was able to land more strikes. Kyle continued to cover the distance and get inside to reach Zabit’s chin but his attempts went in vain as Zabit landed more leg kicks and got cut in the forehead. In the final round, Kyle came back possessed and despite eating multiple strikes, was able to land some decent shots. The final seconds saw both the featherweights exchange loads of punches and getting better of each other.
