Result Summary

Sean Gauci def. Liam Gittins Decision (unanimous) · R3 5:00

In what evolved into an absolute barnburner, Sean Gauci showcased tremendous heart and cardio to earn a hard-fought decision over Liam Gittins. The bout started poorly for Gauci, as Gittins controlled the first round with superior boxing, snapping Gauci's head back with a piston-like jab and crisp one-two combinations. Recognizing he was falling behind, Gauci completely shifted his game plan in round two, aggressively chopping at Gittins' lead leg with punishing calf kicks. The damage quickly accumulated, slowing Gittins' movement and robbing him of his power. Late in the second round, Gauci capitalized on Gittins' compromised base by landing a flush head kick, followed by a double-leg takedown to comfortably steal the round. The third frame was a grueling test of wills, with both bantamweights biting down on their mouthpieces and trading heavy leather in the center of the cage. Gauci's superior gas tank shone through; he consistently beat Gittins to the punch in the final two minutes and punctuated his combinations with dominant clinch work, ultimately winning the judge's scorecards via decision.
