[…] Schilt is younger and taller than Aerts and that made him a winner here. Frankly I think Schilt’s fighting style is not very entertaining to watch. He is a thorough and careful fighter that don’t take any unnecessary chances. And with his size he can afford it. Still this was a nail biter. Aerts was down in the second round and that is never a good sign. If a fighter has been down it is hard for them to get back in shape and win. Schilt won using his size and knees but Aerts gave everything. This was about more than the 400,000 dollar check. Video of the fight here. “Midway though the second, however, Schilt charged in with kicks and knees to score a down. Aerts appeared fine after the count, and the never-say-die fighter had moments of his own in the round, charging with a right and left straight punch combination that made partial contact and put Schilt on the ropes. In the third The Lumberjack pumped in more low kicks, including one that caught Schilt across the back of the thigh and very nearly felled him. Aerts added some straight punches, but could he not put the hurt on Schilt. For his part, Schilt was always strong with the fists, stymieing Aerts’ attempts to get inside. When the distance did close, Schilt had the big knees at the ready. Aerts was tired and a little wobbly by the end of this one, which went to Schilt by unanimous decision.“ […]
