The Brazilian is hit several times against an opponent who takes no risks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 2: The Palestinian sends a big middle kick from the start. For his part, Gilbert Burns tries big hooks, without chaining behind. Neither athlete works in combination: each just sends punches and comes out. Hostilities mainly take place standing up, with no real change in level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 3: Muhammad continues to control the center of the cage, and imposes a false rhythm on the Brazilian. Burns tries a big start but his opponent does not flinch &#8230; &#8216;Remember the Name&#8217; manages to put away systematically, and is more active than Gilbert Burns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 4: More enterprising, Belal Muhammad tries to frame &#8216;Durinho&#8217; against the cage. The Brazilian tries to send some hard shots and change levels, but without success. The Palestinian sends good middle kicks and takes the advantage in a fairly calm fight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Round 5: Belal Muhammad really bothers the Brazilian by imposing a tricky rhythm. For his part, Gilbert Burns seems dominated in striking and without a solution. &#8216;Remember the Name&#8217; is completely unendangered.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Victory of Belal Muhammad over Gilbert Burns by unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 49-46).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"x76ihet xwmqs3e x112ta8 xxxdfa6 x6ikm8r x10wlt62\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100064662463499%2Fvideos%2F255808890343085%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=476&amp;t=0\" width=\"476\" height=\"476\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With this success, &#8216;Remember the Name&#8217; therefore seems to be heading for a title fight for its next release.
