Shooting Stars Tournament Round 1-Enson Inoue vs. Donnie Emerson


After an unsuccesful bid at the ALOHABRAWL title, Enson Inoue elected to try his hand in Shooting Stars. Inoue would face off against local fighter Donnie Emerson. Emerson is well-known among local fans for being a bouncer at a local biker bar. In typical Enson fashion this fight was an all slugfest. Both men came out swinging wildly with Enson taking an early edge. The larger Emerson came back strong and had Enson in serious trouble early in the 1st round. A big knee dropped Enson for a count on 8 and it looked like it would be an early night for the Hawaiian legend. Enson managed to dig deep and came back strong to finish the round. Enson came out again strong in the 2nd and dropped Emerson with a right hand and stomped on his head. Emerson took a count and got up and promptly dropped Enson with a right hand in return. Enson got up slowly and Emerson quickly took him to the mat. Emerson began raining down punches from the mount and Enson's corner threw in the towel. Once a dominant force in fighting, Enson has definitly lost a step or two. Though his fights are always exciting, Enson will likely never wear a title belt in Shooting Stars, Pancratium or ALOHABRAWL.

Emerson SUB 2:02 (round 2) mounted punches
