 Matt Quin (12-2, 5-1 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. “The Firecracker” Scott Fleming (23-30, 0-4 GAMMA) [None] Middleweight (185)
Alika Webb’s hot young prospect, Matt Quin, was up first on the main card in this spectacular event, taking on the wily veteran Fleming, who is a representative of W.J. “The Rooster” Rivers.
Quin scored a beautiful reversal to put a cap on round 1, as he swept Fleming over onto his back from the downed position. Quin was the one who wanted to clinch in the 2nd, as he landed beautiful elbow strikes and had Fleming reeling.
Quin was too defensively skilled for the older opponent, and at the end of the round his strikes found their mark, as an overhand right put Fleming to sleep. Quin has now put his name in the title contention picture, as Fleming will look back to this one and wonder what exactly went wrong.
RESULT: Quin def. Fleming via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 2nd Round (4:58)
“The Whoreson” Lik Alotadik (28-15-2, 15-9-1 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. “The Candyman” Willy Wonka (34-17, 15-14 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom]
Featherweight (145)
Alliance partners went at it here for the fourth time in their careers, as Alotadik, who is represented by Sammy Gentili, wanted his 3rd win in 4 tries against fellow L.O.D.-er Wonka, who is Jebba .’s man. The exciting grudge match began with Alotadik stuffing a few takedowns and tagging Wonka with some nice shots to take the 1st easily. That woke Wonka up, as he took Alotadik to the ground in the 2nd and started to connect with some body shots. In the 3rd, Wonka knew he had to go for the finish, as he took the fight to the mat once more and started searching for submissions. Alotadik never let his guard down, however, and despite being controlled for the majority of the round still looked confident as he stood in the center of the cage awaiting the decision. 29-28s all around for Alotadik, who must feel as though this score has been settled once and for all. We will have to wait and see if Wonka agrees.
RESULT: Alotadik def. Wonka via Unanimous Decision in the 3rd Round (5:00)
“Voodoo Child” Virgil Keller (29-15, 9-6 GAMMA) [Hitokiri-13] VS. Shinsui Kyoraku (22-16, 4-3 GAMMA) [The Devil’s Rejects]
Middleweight (185)
Two more veterans stepped into the octagon next in a packed Wombley Arena, as England’s own Keller, managed by Mike Hunt, took on the man from Japan Kyoraku, a client of Big Boss. Kyoraku was far busier to start this one off, as leg kicks and punches found their mark, albeit for not much damage. Kyoraku continued his performance into the 2nd, cutting Keller a minute in and not laying off of the attack. It was that relentless attack that may have led to Keller surprising him with a 3-punch combo that hurt Kyoraku badly, leading to Kyoraku still reeling as he entered for the 3rd and final round. A pounding ensued to finish the fight, leaving Kyoraku out cold after Keller turned the table and overwhelmed him with shots to finish this one. An incredibly impressive performance from both of these men!
RESULT: Keller def. Kyoraku via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 3rd Round (0:28)
Viv Richards (c) (15-2, 8-1 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. Hektor Troy (38-20-1, 11-4-1 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] Middleweight (185) CHAMPIONSHIP
Our one and only title match on this card today was the Middleweight belt on the line, as the champion, Whymer van Mastadon’s Viv Richards, came in to this one riding a six-fight winning streak and looking to extend it against Gerbert Bryant’s Hektor Troy. Richards and Troy came in seemingly a perfect matchup for each other, but, surprisingly, this one was over before it really even started. The two exchanged a bit and then Richards caught Troy with a counter right that cut him open. Four more shots landed and Troy fell to the floor, not to rise again in this bout. The champion completes yet another defense, and it looks as though Richards will be one for the ages. Troy will be sent a bit down the card and try to work his way back up into a rematch with Richards. For now, he will have to settle for taking home fight of the night honors, along with Richards.
RESULT: Richards (c) def. Troy via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 1st Round (0:35)
Lan “Aanallein” Mandragoran (35-20, 19-13 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] VS. “The Hammer” Tony Slevin (21-5, 6-2 GAMMA) [Legion of Doom] Super Heavyweight (265+)
Gale Hawthorne’s Mandragoran and Digga Dogman’s Slevin were the combatants in our main event, a number one contendership on the line between two legendary super heavyweights. Slevin initially came out looking to clinch and pushed Mandragoran up against the cage, only to discover that the advantage there was not as vast as he may have calculated. It took a minute or so, but eventually the gameplan payed off, as Slevin cut Mandragoran with a beautiful elbow. Mandragoran hung in there, landing some nice body shots and keep Slevin honest with some excellent clinch defense, but a short right hook took the wind out of his sails and weakened his knees, allowing Slevin to tee off on him. “The Hammer” lived up to his nickname, with a giant elbow that left Mandragoran slumped against the cage. It was our K.O. of the night, and the world will be eagerly awaiting Slevin’s title shot. Let’s see if he can make good on all the promise he has shown thus far.
RESULT: Slevin def. Mandragoran via T.K.O. (Strikes) in the 1st Round (3:55)
