FEEL DI RHYTHIM!!! Sorry for di lateness, folks. Ganja's been a bit busy with work. By work I mean getting so high I forgot my aunt's birthday was yesterday. I ended up running three miles to her house and handing a last minute gift. She didn't complain, a pound of herb and a diamond necklace are top-quality gifts in my opinion. Anyways, he have done it! The heavyweight final is finally here! Over the last few weeks, Four Kings has held a electrifying tournament that has seen fighters rise and fall. With the $100,000 dollar prize, it was obvious this one would be fire works. A sold out Beer Garden was the place to be, or at your house watching it on TV, whatever floats your boat. This arena has an ironic name for being in the capital of ganja here in Europe. Nonetheless, it was something to watch. Carlos Quintana, the hard-hitting, overweight striker who knocked out Uche Mohammed to win the heavyweight crown. Steve Rogers, the self proclaimed "American Hero", a Muay Thai machine who climb up the heavyweight rankings by knocking every opponent out. This is the type of match that gets Ganja excited! Two strikers battling for the heavyweight crown, it's like Ganja in a medicinal marijuana store. But please, you didn't come here to read my senseless rambling. You came for a recap and if you just wait a fucking second, you'll get one. Let's review the fights, shall we?
Main Event:
"Captain America" Steve Rogers (8-1) Vs. Carlos "Bam Bam" Quintana (6-0)
WAR!!! This is exactly what I'm talking about. This isn't a bunch of anaemic 18-year olds brawling for some ridiculous amount of money. This is war, for the glory and the Four Kings gold. You also win a date with Ganja with every title belt won. These guys are pretty much the same. Rogers focused on a Muay Thai style and Carlos Quintana has a well-rounded game but they both refuse to go down to the ground! It's always exciting for the fans. Sadly for Quintana, his attack was completely neutralised. Rogers clinch from the start of the fight and refused to let go. He kept the champion pressed up against the cage as he battered him with punches. Quintana wasn't able to fight back, Rogers' relentless pace kept him at bay. "Bam Bam" tried a few punches of his own but they proved to be useless. I've never seen someone dominate Quintana like that. Rogers opened up a huge gash early on and kept hammering the cut. Quintana proved to have the champion spirit as he fought back defensively and survive the brutal first round. Rogers easily took the first and continue his onslaught in the second. Rogers came out a aggressive a he did in the first and quickly engaged the battered champion. He out-struck the superior striker and closed the distance once more. He hammered Quintana for a few moments before the doctor was called in by the ref. I swear I saw him flinch at the sight of Quintana's horrific cut. He had no choice but to stop the bout, crowing a new champion. I think a rematch may be in order, Quintana could've recovered but Rogers would've got the better of him. I'd love to see these two go at it again, but right now Rogers has to pick what restaurant to take me to. He needs to keep in mind that I love Chinese food.
Steve Rogers wins via TKO (Cut) in 1:13 of round two.
Co-Main Event:
Kane "Killa" Kilburn (9-4) Vs. Zorba "Minotaur" The Greek (9-5)
WOOO!!! There's nothing like a little welterweight action to warmup the crowd. It was yet another clinch battle, only this one focused on actual Muay Thai. Kane Kilburn shocked me and the rest of the arena with his impressive performance against the hard-hitting former champion. The young up and comer was pitted against, well, a monster. Zorba The Greek has way more experience over world-class opponents and definitely has the advantage in his striking, especially those deadly hands. Kilburn played it cool however, he refused to strike with the superior puncher. Kilburn executed his gameplay perfectly. He tied up The Greek and unleashed his Muay Thai arsenal. It's be a while since if seen a fighter have such prowess in the fine art of eight limbs. He showered The Greek with elbows and knees that had him ducking for cover. The Greek didn't even look like he wanted to fight, he tried a few takedowns but once those failed, he gave up hope. Kilbun continued his domination through the first round. The second was no different however, Kilburn refused to let go. He engaged in another tight Thai clinch and continued to batter The Greek, who this point turned into a punching bag. Kilburn kept his pressure for three minutes before The Greek started to crumble. Kilburn rocked with a beautiful knee before sending a second one to his jaw. When the ref stepped in, Zorba didn't seem hurt but he was glad it was over. Slain by a youngster, where has this world gone?
Kane Kilburn wins via TKO (Knees) in 3:48 of round two.
Karol "Finisher" Cropp (4-0) Vs. "Great Aristotle" Shaquille Oneal (4-2)
PON DI GAZA!!! Feels good to prepare the crowd for the up coming action with these two freaks. These heavy-set mother fuckers are always bringing the fight, no matter who the opponent is. Karol Cropp is an undefeated rising heavyweight who unfortunately wasn't featured in the tournament. Cropp is making his transition from a local org and was clearly looking to make a statement here in Four Kings. Oneal is not new to the Four Kings cage. He was in the quarter finals of the tournament but was knocked out in the first round (literary). Cropp was born to finish fights, he's an excellent boxer and has a brown belt in BJJ for some reason. This guy can finish it wherever he goes. Oneal's standup is not something to be taken lightly either. He's got great boxing and has polished his Muay Thai recently. Cropp has the advantage on the ground but I predicted the fight wouldn't reach the canvas. Finally! I was right! The first round was a wonderful back and forth slugfest. This is what the heavyweight division is truly about. Both fighters landed great shots, mixing up their punches and kicks, looking to out-work each other. Cropp was a bit more technical with his shots, his strikes landed flush while Oneal's were wide and sloppy. Oneal can only blame himself, his punches were too wide and swung too hard. Cropp dropped Oneal early in the first with a shot that marked the beginning of the end. Cropp followed his stunned opponent into half guard and unloaded vicious elbows. Crop posture up and continued to rain down shots on his defenceless opponent. The red was forced to stop the fight, Oneal didn't seem angry about the stoppage, he knows that shit pissed him off. Talk about a statement though, Cropp has made it clear he belongs in Four Kings.
Karol Cropp wins via TKO (Strikes) in 0:38 of round two.
Ed Gein (5-1) Vs. Bruce Becker (11-5)
WELTER!!! Holy shiznit! We seem to be having a pattern between the fights. Heavy, Welter, Heavy, Welter. It's a very strange line up with strange fighters. Most of these guys are pretty young and are already such beasts. These two are no exception, to a certain point. Neither man is particularly gifted at any martial art used in MMA but neither had a weakness. Well, if they faced a higher ranked fighter, they would, but tonight wasn't the case. Two well-rounded welterweights going at it! From the start this one was destined to be fireworks. After a quick exchange between the two, Ed Gein was dropped by a huge high kick that almost took his head off. Gein battled on to land a flush hook followed by a jab to send Becker back pedaling in distress. Gein dropped Becker with a lovely left but the stubborn bastard got back up. The round finished out with some back and forth action, with Gein coming out on top (no homo). The second round started off with a quick exchange before Gein rocked Becker with a monster combo. Becker regained his senses for a few moments before Gein landed a brutal uppercut that knocked Becker out cold! Holy shit!
Ed Gein wins via KO (Punch) in 1:21 of round two.
"The Prodigy" Jima Jamm (5-1) Vs. Pentti "Pena" Ali (8-9)
JAM OUT! We started off the main card with this exciting, but short Cruiserweight bout. The well known former title challenger, Jima Jamm would be putting his notorious striking on display against the not-so well known, Pentti Ali. Both these guys have seen better days but let's be real. They desperately need a win to keep their job. I just love who these type of fights are always placed at the start of the main card. A knockout or submission is bound to happen! Jima Jamm came out like a bull on crack, he always does. He didn't need to feel his opponent out and started throwing bombs right away. Ali tried to come back some sloppy counter punches that didn't find their mark. Jamm dropped Ali with a stiff uppercut that had the red ready to stop the fight. Jamm waved Ali back to his feet to keep the action going. Ali get's floored by a sharp hook that drops him on his face. Jamm proved who wanted to keep his job more, or more like who didn't deserve to get fired. I kinda feel bad for Ali, the image of him lying face down, ass up will forever live on.
Jimma Jam wins via KO (Punch) in 0:36 of round one.
