His fast, sharp and strong high kicks to Cook were slowly turning his legs and body pink.

As the fight progressed, Cook had no way of anticipating Loughnane’s strikes as he continually differed his fighting technique. Changing positions of is kicks, the height of the kicks and his rapid speed at issuing them meant Cook had little time to react.

The fight was completely Loughnane’s as Cook’s relentless blows made no impact, his inability to close the gap between him and his rival kept his strikes at bay.

While Cook made attempts at taking the clinch, Loughnane tactfully broke free showing pure technique and pure class that was thwarting Cook’s fierce blows.

Loughnane’s endless kicks were proving to be tiresome although Cook continued to fight showing the warrior he is but on the night Loughnane owned the fight.
