Lucus Hales (NRG) looked excellent in his debut against the strong Joel Lovett (Phoenix).

There was no question from the outset that the NRG fighter was sharper, but Lovett was strong and looked as though he had the ability to catch up with Hales.

Hales was having none of it though and he pressed the action constantly, making the Phoenix fighter miss. 

Lovett's best round was definately the opener but after that it was all uphill. He was always in the fight and looked dangerous but Hales just would not be denied and kept the pace strong and consistent throughout.

The final bell saw a conclusive victory and an excellent debut for the NRG fighter!
