TWGC 19 (265+lbs, D2): Rio de Janeiro Q - Round 1
Date: Nov 24, 2017 |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight Tycoon World Grappling Championship rules bout between Travis Browne (ranked 1799 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nickey Spillane (ranked 1426 p4p, 168 weight class). Browne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Knock You Out. Spillane has chosen The Foggy Dew as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Nickey Spillane was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
This TWGC bout is 1 fifteen minute round in the super heavyweight division. Introducing today's competitors. In the red corner, competing out of New York, with a TWGC record of 0 wins and 0 losses; Travis Browne! And in the blue corner, fighting out of Rio de Janeiro, with a TWGC record of 4 wins and 1 losses; Nickey Spillane!
The judges for this bout are Emerson Jorge, Seu Braga and Edson Gomes.
