ALOHABRAWL III-TITLEBOUT-Kaleo Hamano (Freestyle/Hawaii) vs. Enson Inoue (BJJ/Hawaii)



The highly anticipated mega-fight between 2 of Hawaii's most famous fighters left no-one disappointed. When Kaleo Hamano met Enson Inoue in the cage the result was pure violence. Both men came out with guns blazing and neither man took a step backwards. Inoue's experiance took the lead as he was able to land the better punches and outgrappled Hamano on the mat. Hamano hung in and rocked Inoue on several occasions. The end of the 1st saw both men still unloading with Inoue ahead on points. Hamano came out in the 2nd with a flying knee that busted Inoue wide open...With Inoue bleeding profusely, Hamano began unloading everything he had rocking Inoue badly. Inoue was reeling and Hamano began looking for the payoff. In an amazing show of moxie, Inoue turned the tide and had Hamano on wobbly legs after a big right hand. Hamano seemed on the verge of being knocked out but the blood in Inoue's eyes seemed just enough to keep him from landing the finishing punch. A bloody and exhausted Inoue clinched Hamano and found himself being lifted and slammed on the mat. The combination of the impact of the slam, the cut and exhaustion left Inoue on the mat and the fight was over. A joyous Hamano burst into tears as he celebrated a career defining win.
