Too Warm Preview

Event Preview: Too Warm
The Leftovers
2015-09-10, The Island, Hard Knocks - The Island
Author:The Dictator

Man, who decided the island should be somewhere on the equatorial band? It's hot in here but no women are around. Only sweaty dudes who think they're the best fighters in the world! It's Too Warm at the Hard Knocks of the Island! Let's look at the top 5 fights of this event:

 

#6 Luciano Andrade Quill Styles

Two promissing prospects who so far failed to leave their marks on the island. Andrade dropped 2 of his last 3 after putting up a decent win streak which gave him a title shot. He's a clinch puncher but he seems a bit underweight for LHW. Maybe he should drop down to 185lbs after this one. Styles, who is 6-4 with us, is finally on a 3 fight winning streak and another nice win should start making some noise towards the top of the division.

 

#7 Temoodschin Khan Luk Yuha 

Khan is consistent in the sense that he always loses against the top guys and always win against the lower guys. He's still counting on his powerfull kicks to get him to the top but that may be just a bit too predictable. Yuha surely counts as one of the top guys and that's bad news for his opponent. He's just out of a tough loss on his 1st title shot attempt and he'll want to steer his ship back with this one. He's the favorite by far so this is his fight to lose.

 

#8 Sonny Bradford Ganbaatar Khan

Sonny is also on the edge of contendership having a 6-2 record with us and his only losses were against top competition. He's a versatile distance fighter but his accuracy is a problem. His opponent from Mongolia sports a 6-6 record but all his wins were by KO. He tends to go all out for the kill and some of his opponents have taken advantage from this. Sonny does seem to share the same fight philosophy so this one is a fight of the night candidate.

 

#9 Co Main Event - Teppo Tavi Johnny Hetfield 

This one will dictate who gets the chance to rematch with the all powerfull Fernardu Palmier. Both of these fighters were KOed by the champ and are hitching to set the record straight. Only one of them will get the chance though. Tavi is 6-1 with us while Hetfield is 2-1. Both are strikers but while Tavi likes to clinch, Johnny likes to punch from a distance. Another fight of the night candidate here!

 

#10 Main Event - Wybrant De Houtman Dylan Carter - 185lbs Title Fight

The undefeated dutchman was at the right place at the right time. He took home the belt without having to fight the submission beasts Gerson and Bobby Jones. Troy Kirkland took the title by surprise and then was bested in a fantastic and thrilling fight against the new champ Wybrant. His first title defense comes against the experienced Dylan Carter. The South African came over to the Leftovers with a 3 fight winning streak at the Highland Challengers and added two more wins to his record including a fantastic win against former champ Ricardo Gerson. Even though he's the challenger, I believe he's the favourite here. He likes to strike from a distance but he's not afraid of the clinch either while De Houtman is the precise reverse. Wow, so many fight of the night candidates tonight!
