Heavyweight - Attila Orban (12-4) [BFT 2-0] vs Rooster "True Grit" Cogburn (6-12) [BFT 2-5]
BFT's introduction to Attilla has been phenominal to date. He came in putting on a show for all the fans with his Fight of the Night performance against George Rose. There were some that were doubters of his skills though. His last 9 fights were decisions (with a no contest thrown in). What does he do to shut them up? He comes out with a first round knockout against Steve Tompkins. This guy is tough.
Cogburn has been on a bit of a skid as of recently. He's a game fighter none the less. He's had good fights against great opponents, featuring the likes of Kim Jong Dong and Pete Tippin. With 4 of his 6 wins being by knockout, he's not one to be taken lightly on the feet.
Prediction: Cogburn is tough and all... but Orban takes this one. Orban by RD 1 TKO.
Lightweight - Suchart "Fishbowl" Chaowanungkarn (15-13-1) [BFT 14-10-1] vs Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao (13-13) [BFT 8-13]
Fishbowl. Former Title Contender. 9 of his BFT wins are by knockout. 5 Fight of the Nights. 1 KO of the Night. This man has done done all the talking for himself already. Some try to count him out with a recent two fight losing skid. I say, you can never count this kid out. There's a reason he fought for the title.
Pacman. 2 Time former Title Contender. 9 of his overall wins are by knockout. 2 Fight of the Nights. This guy has not been given the respect he deserved. He has already fought for the title 2 times. He hasn't been looking great as of recently, with his last winning streak coming to an end in October of last year. But tonight he has a cance to make it 2 in a row after beating Dave Hall.
Prediction: These guys are 1-1 against each other. Their last fight had Fishbowl be the more damaging fighter. I think after his most recent loss being a week ago, he wants to show he can take this. Chaowanungkarn by Unanimous Decision.
Heavyweight - Joseph Mageramsky (12-8) [BFT 7-7] vs Steve Henry (5-5) [BFT 0-2]
Joseph Mageramsky is a 2 time Heavyweight Challenger. He has a lot of fights against big names. Jake the Snake. Hagen Germanicus. Laguna Lunaris. Careless Emotion. He wants another crack at the title, and even though he is on a 2 fight losing streak, with a dominating performance, he could certainly get that shot.
Steve Henry is a young guy looking to make a name for himself. He is also on a two fight losing streak, but he is no push over. All of his victories have been by knockout. His one punch knockout power is enough for any person on the BFT roster to be worried for. He'll need to take advantage of that power to earn his first BFT win.
Prediction: On the feet, you need to think that Henry has the advantage. If the fight hits the ground, Mageramsky will take it. The question is, does Joe have what it takes to bring the fight there? I think he will have to fight to do it. I wouldn't be surprised to see him do it, but I have my doubts. Henry by RD 2 TKO.
Co-Main - Welterweight - "Clap" Igor Wietrzny (6-5) [BFT 6-5] vs "Nom" Nom Nomm (4-2-1) [BFT 4-1-1]
BFT home grown Igor Wietrzny has had his fair share of great performances. He has all 6 of his victories by submission. With only one of his fight ever going to decision, this guy comes in with the do-or-die attitude. And one way of another, he is looking to add another first round stoppage to his record.
3-0-1 in his last 4 fights, Nomm is making waves in the Welterweight division. He holds finishies in 3 of his 4 victories. This is another guy who is not a fan of being in the ring too long. Will he have what it takes to put Igor away early? I guess we'll have to see the power to get another TKO on his record.
Prediction: These two faced each other previously. We learned there that Nomm does not have what it takes to roll with Igor on the mats. Now, if Nom can keep the fight standing, I believe he can put Igor away. Unfortunately, I believe that Igor can and will take the fight on the mat. Igor by RD 1 submission.
Main - Lightweight - "Stoneface" Samuel Vimes (7-1) [BFT 5-1] vs "The Edge" Darren Colby (7-6) [BFT 1-4]
On a 4 fight winning streak, Vimes is knocking on the door to a title shot. He avenged the first loss of his career against Victor Bonifacio. He has 2 fight of the night performances. When he gets the finish, he gets great knockouts. Ask Who Da and Jack Daniels. He's right there at the top of the division. He just needs a great finish to get that title shot.
"The Edge" (which is funny since he looks like he could use an Edge razor =P) hasn't looked sharp in his BFT performances. He has faced stiff competition so far against the likes of "Fishbowl" and Bonifacio. But with 4 destructive knockouts to his name, he is certainly not one to be counted out. With one punch away from any a victory at any time, he can make the big upset here.
Prediction: Neither one of these guys want this to really hit the mats. I thinks "Stoneface" can take more damage and dish it right back, and we'll see his name soon in a headliner for the title. Vimes by RD 2 TKO.
