Herb Dean gave Sanchez a break.....
Eddie Sanchez beat Colin Robinson
R1 – Immediate clinch and both heavyweights hit the fence in a tangle, exchanging uppercuts. Robinson begins to get the upperhand, and Sanchez slips for a minute, but regains his footing. Both exchanging body shots and knees. They separate and Sanchez is staggering. Robinson plows into him for the takedown and goes to town on Sanchez with punches and elbows from almost every position, including mount. A minute passes, but referee Herb Dean does not stop it, and Robinson eventually gasses. With a minute to go, Sanchez reverses to mount and Robinson just makes it to the bell under a barrage of punishment.
R2 – Takedown by Sanchez who flows to mount on a spent Robinson. The end is quick this time, and a shame, as the Irish fighter should have earned the stoppage himself in round one.
