Round 1 Quarry lands a right hook to the body as both fighters show good footwork in the center of the Octagon. Quarry wildly chases Starnes around the cage throwing punches as Starnes turns his back halfway and sprints away. The crowd starts to let Starnes hear it as he continues to run away from the fight. Starnes clinches with Quarry against the fence and trades knees to the body. Quarry gets his back off the fencing and lands a right hand. Starnes continues his best Donovan Bailey impersonation as he sprints away from his opponent. Quarry is wasting lots of energy but he lands good shots just before the round expires. Round 2 Back to the body goes Quarry with a kick and a left hook. He's mixing in low kicks to Starnes' left leg as well. Quarry steps forward and Starnes circles and flat out runs away. The crowd lets him hear it for his actions. Two more low kicks connect for Quarry as Starnes starts to favor his lead leg. Quarry slips and is hit with a hard right but he shakes it off. The track meet resumed as Starnes ran around the cage avoiding a striking exchange. At the end of the round, chants of "Bor-ing, bor-ing," showered the Octagon. Round 3 Starnes, perhaps aware of his plight with the judges' scorecards, turns it up with three straight rights that find their target. Just when it seemed that Starnes is piecing together a rhythm with his timed side-steps and left jab, he reverts to retreat mode as Quarry stepped forward with heavy punches. Like an inexperienced quarterback, Starnes moved well in the pocket but got happy feet when the blitz was on. The dreadful fight ends after 15 horrible minutes. The official judges see the bout 30-27, 30-26 and 30-24 for Nathan Quarry. |
