Hello Fight fans, King here bringing you a Synchronicity PPV preview for this Saturday Night at the Colossuseum in LA. The event is Syn' 279:Fear of the Unknown and will feature two title fights including the Heavyweight and Welterweight Crowns on the line, as well as 8 other world class match ups. So lets get the action underway.......
155lbs-Giorgio Valentino (20-8-1) vs Mayuri Tatsuki (31-12-1) Prediction -Valentino by (t)KO in the 1st Rd
170lbs-Oliver Schwalle (11-8) vs Vincent Hunter (19-10) Prediction -Hunter by UD

155lbs-Jacque Schtrappe (27-10-1) vs Derek "The Artist" Riggs (25-16)
The Main Card kicks off with an exciting Lightweight match up between these two veterans of the tycoon world. Jacque Schtrappe is on a two fight losing streak, including a losing effort against current Champion Gary Bunn back at Syn' 268 so he could really use a win to keep himself from falling farther down the rankings. Derek Riggs looked impressive in his Syn' debut after coming over from LFNC, and another win will get him one step closer to a title shot. Riggs relies a lot on his Elite Boxing skill, and does a great job mixing in body punches and combos that help keep his opponents off balance. Jacque is a very aggressive fighter and throw a lot of strikes from a lot of different angles. He is relentless with his Boxing attacking both the head and body, and he throws a lot of low kicks punishing his opponents legs and body. I don't see either one of these guys wanting to take this one to the ground, so it should be a nice display of a stand up war. Schtrappe has some serious stopping power in both hands, but I think that Riggs has the chin to hold up to onslaught. The difference maker should be Schtrappe's kicks, he should be able to use them to slow Riggs down enough to start picking him apart.
170lb Title-Antonio Montana (38-18) vs C.Oswaldo "Sonny" Sanchez (30-12-1)
Our first Title fight of the evening pits Current Welterweight Champion Oswaldo Sanchez who is fresh off of a losing effort in moving down to Lightweight but is eager to get his first Title defense in the books, taking on the last CFC Welterweight Champion Antonio Montana. Montana does a good job peppering his opponents legs while unleashing a relentless Elite Boxing attack that sees him throwing a large amount of shots to the head that he lands at an impressive 60% rate. Sanchez also has a very active striking attack and is confident enough to take the fight into the clinch where he has a pretty vicious dirty Boxing game. Montana has more natural power and has 21 career knockout victories to back that up, while Sanchez looks to just overwhelm his opponent with his striking game and out pointing them. I think that Montana has the chin to with stand any strikes from Sanchez, but the question will be if he can get any offense going himself or if you will fall victim to a judges decision.
185lbs-Tweedle Dee (34-7-1) vs Dragon Slayer (18-5-1)
In our only Middleweight contest of the evening we have the up and coming Dragon Slayer who looks to be rolling on his way to a title fight trying to take out the veteran Tweedle Dee. Tweedle Dee beat current Champion Evangelista in his Syn' debut, but then fell short in his first defense at Syn' 276 suffering a devastating Knockout loss. Dragon Slayer has been on a tear since his losing effort against the current Champion, and he wants nothing more than another crack at getting the strap. Slayer has a very balanced striking attack with a great mix of head punches and legs kicks, but has a very solid clinch game as well. Tweedle Dee has a crazy aggressive stand up game, I mean this guys throws a ton of strikes and lands a lot of those attempts. Dee's opponents sometimes have a hard time getting any offense going because of his relentless game plan, so it will be interesting to see how the less experienced fighter reacts to the pressure. Both of these fighters have the power to end the fight standing in a hurry but you may see Dee throw in a take down or two and use his superior grappling game to show his dominance and dictate the pace of the action.
205lbs-Otto "Kooma" Jokinen (33-10) vs Alfonso Lopez (15-2)
In our Co Main event of the evening we have a hell of a Light Heavyweight Match up between the Opa Jokinen managed fighter Otto Jokinen and the Steel Penn Icon Champion Alfonso Lopez who is riding a hype train into this fight. Lopez comes into this one with a 10 fight streak, and can prove to the Tycoon world that he is the real deal with a win over the 43 fight veteran Otto. Jokinen at only 29 years old has a pretty impressive resume already, and this will be his fourth fight under the Syn' banner and he has went 2-1 up to this point. Otto relies pretty heavy on his striking game where he throws a nice combo of Punches and kicks at an extremely accurate rate, but he also isn't afraid of taking the fight into the clinch and has some vicious knees. Alfonso has some serious power and that can be on display with about every strike that this guy throws, as he throws a lot of power and he likes to throw it often. Both of these two fights love to stand and bang, and neither one will be looking for it to go the judges. So it will be interesting to see who will be able to take advantage the young up and coming stud, or the sly Veteran that is looking to show he still has a lot of miles left.
265lb Title-Kyle Carlton (24-2) vs C.Devin "Furious" Styles (20-5)
Our Main event of the evening if for the Heavyweight Championship Title and it features ex Evo Champ and #1 P4P fighter Kyle Carlton making his Syn' debut and looking to dethrone the newly crowned Champion Devin Styles. Styles comes into this fight on a 4 fight win streak, but this will be one of the toughest fights of his career so it will be nice to see how he reacts to that and if he can keep the title around his waist at the end of the night. Kyle Carlton has been the number fighter in the Tycoon world and he wants nothing more than to get back there, and currently sitting at number 11 a win in this one will get him one more step in the right direction. Carlton is the truest form of a knockout artist that there is with all 24 of his career wins being by way of stoppage, and this guy seriously has dynamite in both of his gloves. Devin is a dynamic striker who punishes his opponents legs, and throws a fare amount of head punches. Styles has been known to get a little sloppy with his striking game, so he could leave himself open to be countered and with Carlton's power that could spell disaster for the current Champion. Styles has a granite chin so he may be withstand Kyle's punches for awhile, but he'll need to get his offense going early and get the momentum going in his favor. This one could have Fight of the Night or KO of the Night written all over it, but either way it should be a great way to finish the night off!
There you have it folks an absolutely great night of fights, and I'm sure that the fans in attendance will really enjoy the show. I would like to thank Reaper Combatwear for sponsoring the event, and make sure to check out Syn City Betzone to earn some money from your favorite Syn' fighters!
