Izzy could have coasted to a victory had he evaded Alex a bit, but he kept getting bullied to the cage and cornered. Granted, because of Alex's power, Izzy couldn't back him into a corner or control the pace given that it could have come with a knockout blow.
As I mentioned before, this guy Alex has power. Very nice kickboxing match, but I do think they'll do a rematch as it was very competitive and Izzy was winning 3-1 going into the 5th round.
For what it's worth, Alex's kryptonite is wrestling/jiu-jitsu. If Izzy doesn't recapture the belt, whomever goes after Alex needs to put on a submission wrestling clinic.
