Play by play : Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill

Round 1
The Queen City natives touch hands to begin the contest. Franklin goes to the lead leg of Hamill with three low kicks in the opening 40 seconds. Franklin continues to work the leg but he has yet to connect with a solid kick. Hamill counter punches from the outside but like Franklin, struggles to land with a clean blow. Franklin goes to the inside of Hamill’s right leg and these smack their target. A glancing left hook from Hamill opens a cut above the right eye of Franklin. One minute remains in the frame. Hamill rushes in and muscles Franklin to the canvas. Hamill, now bleeding from above his right eye, defends an armbar attempt. The fighters stand and trade knees as the horn sounds. Franklin’s cut appears to be deep and serious.

Round 2
While Franklin’s cut is deep, bleeding has been stopped for now. Franklin applies pressure with kicks to the body and a flurry of punches. Referee Mario Yamasaki steps in to have the doctor check out Franklin. A chunk of flesh is missing on the eye lid near Franklin’s right temple. The doctor allows the fight to continue. Franklin kicks Hamill on the cup. Time is given to Hamill to recover and a referee warning is issued. Franklin pours it on with kicks to the inside and outside of the left leg of Hamill. A stiff left kick to the body connects for Franklin. Another low kick crashes into Hamill’s left leg. The wrestler, feeling the affects of the punishment, starts to reach for his takedowns instead of dropping levels. A flying knee from Franklin misses short at the end of the frame.

Round 3
Franklin crushes Hamill with a liver kick and this fight is over. The wrestler folds to the canvas and covers while tapping out. The official time is 0:39 of the third.

Matt looked more beef up and improved to keep hands up. Yes, his hand up to leave open spots (legs and lower body) up to Rich's kicks. The match would be stop by ref - big gash cut on Rich's eyebrow. I wants to see Matt to throw more combo punching (right punch-left punch-kick) instead he threw same punch over and over. He did better kicking, too. I likes this Matt better than his past fights. Wish he could take good fight camp for his next fight...I would love to see Matt to work with Randy Couture's cap or American Top Team camp.

Good fought and keep it up, Matt! :applause:

We will see Matt in UFC in late 2008 or early 2009.

I see>> some negative comments on Matt? :(

Yeah. That sucks.

Easy to put negatives on whoever for some reason :

- "never playing in pro/college game" people (who not understand - mental / physical game)

- jealous over sport's money and fame people then wants to hurt them (our entertainment's Brittney Spears and Tom Cruise...no need to explain :lol:)

- lost big money on gambling on their betting then lash out on player who they betted on (Andrés Escobar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

- took too serious (movie - "The Fan" with DeNiro and Snipes The Fan (1996 film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

- their favorite team/player lost to better team/player (Matt lost to better fighter, Rich and same thing with Escobar ^^)

- disorder mental people (I can't fault them. Same thing with "The Fan" ^^)

and more than I tried to think. :hmm:

That is their thoughts on Matt still be legal in USA (thank god we don't live in North Korea). What better? I got my freedom to do eyerolling on their thoughts :roll: < "Oh please" :D

WAR HAMILL!
 
Got email via Facebook and I likes to share with you ADers what Matt saying :

Matt Hamill said the following;

I would like to thank everyone for their unbelievable support. It wasn’t my night on Saturday and my fans, friends, family, trainers and the UFC have stuck by me. I want to congratulate my friend Rich Franklin on his great performance. He and his camp are the best guys in this sport and it was truly an honor to compete against them. My performance Saturday night was not what I wanted nor was it what my trainers expected. The reason for my performance falls solely on my shoulders and no one else. My guys did a great job getting me prepared and my game plan was right on. I was unable to follow it and I don’t know why. I’m not one to make excuses so I won’t. Rich did exactly what they said he would do. I couldn’t get my head into the fight and because of that I found myself on the defensive which is something I am not used to. All I can say is that I will get back in the gym soon and start working on my mistakes. I promise to all my fans, I will never have a performance like I showed on Saturday night again.


Reminders: for those who did not yet invite your friends, pleae invite them to join the group to support Matt Hamill in his training center to improve his performances...

thanks
on behalf of the Matt Hamill supporters...

Well spoken, Matt. :)

WAR HAMILL!

That is old news for MMA community, dude.

Every "loser" fighters go back in the picutre.

Like LWH Chuck "Iceman" Liddell almost thought about reitrement after loss to Evans last saturday as if he doesn't want to fight nasty fighters in next two fights before title match, against "Shogun" Rua, Wanderlei Silva, Machida, Jackson or Sokudjuo.

My guess : Hamill might face Sokoudjo or Thiago Silva (if they lost)? We will find out by late winter or spring in 2009.

If he started UFC at early, then he'll be probably better.

Yeah, that could be better than he is now.

He might keep figthing until 40's?. Randy Couture's 45 years old against Brock Lesner this November.

Darn, I am too old to give my try MMA out...would be great with young deaf fighter coming up. While ago, I was told there got young deaf figther already fight in small MMA in California...I tried to ask who is that? They say "Don't know"....as if just rumor? or that was Matt Hamill who trained with The Punisment Team under Tito Ortiz in Big Bear, CA.

That would be cool if Deaf Fighting Championship or EliteDeafXC like our national deaf tourney of basketball, softball and bowling out there today. :D
