INY 62 Wauler vs Vieri

This is it, the moment the best the 4Kings Org had to offer, debut in the INY, with two outstanding 4K champions going head to head with two of Immortals’ finest champions in Wauler and Ventura.

The undercard is stacked, with Hall of Famer Shane Wellman Junior taking on striking sensation Aldous Huxley, Chikatilo looking to bounce back against super tough Le Sheet, and former heavyweight golden boy and Immortals first ever entrant into the HOF, Derric Styles facing the streaking heavy handed bomber from the Galactus camp, Maxim Simmons.

So in the words of the great Mills Lane…Lets Get It On!

155lb World Title

Wauler vs Vieri

Wauler 10-2 6KOS fights out of the highly regarded Stonewall Jackson camp, a proverbial breeding ground for top class MMA contenders. Wauler stepped down from 170 a year back and hasn’t looked back. He’s beaten McGuire, Van Kirkland twice, and demolished Huxley in a clash of the bombers. Wauler is an old school boxer, heavy hands, granite chin, powerful in the clinch, his hard upbringing means nothing fazes this guy, and having faced VK twice he is a fearsome proposition.

Vieri 10-1 10KOS fought at 170 in the 4K, but he now faces Wauler at his natural weight of 155. He has a great chin, can box, has decent kicks, but he excels on the ground, because once he gets the fight to the mat he is brutal, a beast of a destroyer with his ground and pound.

Vieri was the man that bludgeoned Jorge Aquino, when Dead Disney was proclaiming future greatness for his now flawed charge, so Vieri is the real deal, the man.

Wauler vs Vieri, 5 rounds between two of the pound for pound best at 150K plus, the Casino is open and taking bets.

185lb World Title

Ventura vs Richards

Ventura is 9-0 4Kos and is fast evolving into the greatest Muay Thai practioner in the Immortals, a sniper of a striker, who has beaten Melton Snr twice, outclassed an albeit faded Archie Fallon and exposed a streaking Bowman Rook in a brutal display.

Ventura has to date, displayed awesome takedown defense, and has been able to tie up superior grapplers when he has been taken down.

This will be the ultimate test for Ventura’s defensive grappling skills, as Richards has made a career out of takedowns, ground and pound and world class BJJ. Richards was a superstar in the 4K where he made 5 successful defenses in his first reign, and fought some of the best 185lb and 205lb fighters in the world during his 2 years in Amsterdam.

A world class striker, a world class grappler, two great champions, two of the most high profile MMA camps in the world, this is another super fight. The casino is open, you decide…

155lb Division

Wellman Jnr vs Huxley

Wellman Jnr 11-9 shot to fame with his HOF winning submission of Corey Smith, a fight most, including Bruno Falcone, thought was a nailed down win for Smith, who had easily KO’d Wellman Jnr in an earlier meeting. Wellman has fought everyone, and boasts wins over Smith, Zavier, Saunders, Sandoval and an ancient sub win over VK. Wellman Jnr now gets another high profile fight against notorious bomber Aldous Huxley, who asked for this fight, so the Ramirez camp must see this as a fight his man can win. Huxley has lost his last 2 fights, by KO and submission, and it is Wellmans BJJ skills that are the biggest threat to Huxley. Wellman can finish guys on the ground, just ask Corey Smith, so Huxley will look to counter and land a bomb as Wellman has a suspect chin. I’m with Huxley here, Wellman is inconsistent, Huxley will have worked hard on takedown defense and I think he will keep it standing long enough to get Wellman out of there.

265lb+ Division

Le Sheet vs Chikatilo

Mouth watering clash between two of the finest super-heavies in the division. Le Sheet 7-3 6KOS is a wrestler, who looks to stick his opponents on their backs and pound the resistance out of them. His record is compiled of the best guys in the division, having faced Lebedev twice, Kar, Jones, Jenkins, and Chikatilo. In his first fight against Chikatilo he got the fight to the ground but couldn’t impose his will, and Chiko coped well, and scored with some heavy shots in the stand up, dropping and rocking Le Sheet. Le Sheet will need to ensure he takes advantage of successful takedowns, because Chiko is far the better striker.

Chikatilo 10-3 9Kos is a great striker, devastating kicks, KO power and from a successful and experienced camp. Chiko is coming off a KO loss in a title fight to Irving Brown when he was blasted by the champ in only 1min 24. Chiko won’t have to fear the striking of Le Sheet, he will look to utilize his own striking, stuff the takedowns and take Le Sheet apart, cut him up and knock him out.

Chiko will feel confident here, he dominated the first meeting, but you only have to look to Smith vs Wellman II to know anything can happen once the cage door closes.

265 Division

Styles vs Simmons

The great Derric Styles not headlining a card? That’s because he has been stopped in his last 2 fights. Styles 13-2 12Kos made his long awaited comeback after contract disputes led to inactivity and a year away from the gym, against champ Soham Roy and lasted under 3 mins. His camp later stated they regretted accepting the fight (an offer only to reset the inactivity clause) and that Styles’ skills had eroded while he was eating burgers and banging hookers. So this time we hope to see the real HOF superstar in the cage, the man that beat Kally the 1st time, who stopped Lebedev and Brute. Styles has heavy hands, complimented by his world class boxing, but if he is return to being a dominant force he must be at his best each and every fight. The Immortals heavyweight division is fast evolving into a super competitive division, and many of his previous victims have found the organization too tough and moved to the minor leagues.

That cannot be said about world class boxer Maxim Simmons who at 5-3 5Kos has had his fair share of ups and downs and battled his way up the rankings. Early career defeats to Snipes, Frazier and Devin Styles, were mixed in with wins over journeymen Kenrick Nikkil and Morty Gaggle, but it is his recent form that has impressed. Three consecutive 1st round KO wins against decent opposition, in Sakers, Worthington and Jackson have earned a high profile fight here against a living legend. Should Simmons do the unthinkable and hang a 3rd consecutive loss on Styles then Simmons will surely have finally arrived on world stage. But where would that leave Styles? A 1st round KO will be the result, the legend vs the Cinderella man, who will prevail?

Undercard

145lb Division

Calirante vs Gallagher

Calirante 3-0 uses his awesome wrestling as a base for keeping his fights standing, utilizing the clinch and firing off kicks. Gallagher 6-5 poses his first serious test as a pro, as Gallagher has fought the best in the division, having pushed Mac Jackson close and beaten Chuck Norris who is 8-1 and subsequently left the INY to find less talented opposition to pad his record. Gallagher will mix up his attack, but he will test Calirante’s takedown defense in what could be a terrific fight.

Never rule out a Melton camp fighter, even with a record of 6-5!

205lb Division

White vs Logan

Big rematch with striker White 2-2-1 hoping to keep it standing this time and edge take a decision against boxer come BJJ fighter Logan 4-3-1. I think White will get that W this time.

265lb+ Division

Rowe vs Riggs

Rowe 4-7 has won 2 of his last 3 and is dangerous on the ground. Riggs 4-3 will be happy to oblige in what should be a submission war. I give Riggs a slight edge.

135lb Division

Tutov vs Parasca

Tutov 2-2 is former amateur boxing star with some BJJ skills for ground defense, and he will need them if BJJ ground fighter Parasca gets this fight to the ground. Parasca 3-2 has lost his last 2 but against top opposition so this could go either way.

155lb Division

Ross vs Jones

Ross 3-2 has lost his last 2, has a BJJ Brown Belt, but has been outfought twice on the ground. Jones 4-6-1 prefers to use his BJJ to mixed effect, and he has a draw with Gallegos so he will hope to be able to hang with Ross on the ground. I’m thinking Ross, but you never know.

Enjoy the night, it should be incredible!
