When Josh Elkins sees the footage of his bout tonight against Brandon Priest he won't like what he sees. Elkins dropped a four-round majority decision to Priest in a bout he had ample opportunities to win.
Elkins suffered a knockdown in the second round as he got caught with a shot in close and was dropped. In the same round, Elkins spun Priest completely around with a right hand and Priest eventually fell to the canvas. However, referee Dave Braslow did not rule a knockdown.
In the third round, Elkins caught Priest stumbling in with a short right hand and got the knockdown. Elkins seemed to be in control in the final round as he landed a beautiful right uppercut from distance that stunned Priest. However, the West Dundee, IL competitor managed to hang on for the win.
