Carl got pretty comfortable, but after defeating fellow Swede Isak Stendahl in a grueling 5 round battle? He wanted to test out the ABC. A good run for the title, I honestly believe Carl could last a little longer since ABC's Heavyweight division isn't all that large. Tough matches, all of them.

He only agreed if the first match he has of the 3 fight contract is in Sweden infront of his family.

ABC - HW - Hitoshi KADA vs. Carl WANG

This Japanese is one tough customer, his 5 fight win streak just ended to a knock out by he's still considered very skilled and one of the better HWs in ABC. We trained for this, but things can be hectic. What will happen when Carl goes up against great fighters?

Kada connect with his combination and easily backs out of a counter. None of Carl's attempts at striking seem to be landing, he should posture up more and mix in some kicks. Wang finally connects with a strike that sends Kada tumbling, but the Japanese HW quickly recovers. He's staggered with another jab from Carl, who gets a little too confident and throws a kick which is countered by a clean overhand to the nose.

"Okay, Carl. We need to keep this up standing, trade with him when need be and if you do take him down? Try to get proper positioning and impose your STRENGTH on him."

I knew from the start that Kada is a submission specialist, so i'll need to help Carl can endure and bang with this Jap. The round starts off with an exchange, before Kada seems to sink in a KIMURA! Carl barely slides out, not good. Hitoshi expertly moves on the ground, and even i'm surprised by his strength. Carl does try a submission attempt, but is thwarted easily-- This wasn't good Carl.

"I'd say keep it on the feet,but you may need to finish him. You're big and might just be the next big thing in Sweden. Go in there and -win-."

Carl lands a jab, but misses with the follow up. The Japanese HW misses with the haymaker, and Carl quickly capitalizes by taking his back. Kada does the right thing by keeping Carl close to avoid strikes, but Wang has him caught in guard now--Round over.

I'm not sure who won, but it went to a decision. I'm expecting a split if anything. Praying for Carl.

That first and third round sealed the deal, and I have ABC talking to be about a potential title shot. Already?
