Great fight. As expected Noons showed who the superior striker was, but Heun showed the limitations of Noons of the ground, even though Noons survived, and showed decent take down defense. Noons' bobbing seemed to leave his neck very exposed for a choke, but Heun only grabbed hold in the last seconds. Heun proved to be very dynamic and durable as his face looked like a pizza by the end, but he was still swinging hard.
I gave the 1st round to Noons as the fight was only the ground briefly.
Noons clearly won the last 2 rounds, almost taking the 2nd 10-8.
