 Hey GAMMA and MMA fans, it is Capelli King for yet another GAAAAMMMMAA Gossip. In this weeks Gossip, i want to focus on what happened last weekend, starting with GAMMA#297 Green v Watts.
IN the co-main event we had Frank Sinatra take on Raz Matazz, in a rematch which was over 2 years in the making. This time round though it was a much closer fight, with Frank earning himself a cut early in round 1, however this did not stop him from winning the round. Raz tried to mix up his strategy with a varied attacks, where as Frank mostly worked his boxing, going for a takedown whenever he got a chance.
The end decision was very VERY (did i say very) close, with 2 judges giving it to Frank and one to Raz. All judges had the 3rd round for Raz Matazz though, so if this was a championship fight Raz probably would have taken it. Raz is currently in his worse slump in his career and in his next fight he will be getting his trilogy against Fred Ettish.
In the main event of GAMMA#297, the underdog Usain Watts took on the up and coming superstar Keith Green. Keith showed once again why he is so highly rated with another KO win over a highly rated veteran. Usain went in very strong in the fight, winning by close margin rounds one and 2, with Usain fighting over a very early cut in the first round.
In the end though, Keith's granite chin and KO power is what made the difference, putting rest to Usain's challenge with an "uppercut out of nowhere" to put Usain to sleep. That put Keith's run to 9 consecutive wins in a row (winning all in GAMMA). This however was his first KO win since May 2012. Keith is now ranked number 34 p4p in the world and is already the 7th highest ranked GAMMA fighter ever. This was his second title defense.
In the co-main event of GAMMA#298, Peter Cabreros beat Max Power in a super fight between ONI and GAMMA. This takes the total super fight record of GAMMA to 60-27, with the all time super fight record holder being Jeremy Tonal with a record of 16-3-0. This was Peter Cabreros's first KO win for a while and he is regaining some of his early promise when he just joined GAMMA. He will be headlining the event in 2 weeks time at GAMMA#301.
In the main event we watched Vladik Fedotov go up against Ferdinando Ferrari. Vladik has been somewhat unlucky so far in his GAMMA career because every time he is top contender, he loses the fight. Nevertheless, his 11-3-1 GAMMA record is still one of the best in recent times and you feel he is just one or two wins from his desired title fight.
He went up against GAMMA newcomer Ferdinando Ferrari. Ferdinando has started lively in GAMMA with a win through a Decision (Unanimous) over Leandro Rodrigues in his very first GAMMA fight. But Vladik Fedotov is a totally different animal and this fight was the biggest in his career so far.
The fight was a very very close one. Vladik came in with the clear target in using his Muay Thai, be that in the clinch or standing. With Ferdinando focusing mostly on his boxing skills with the occasional takedown attempt. In the end, it was yet another controversial split decision, with Vladik tipping the judges vote.
The biggest fight last week was actually not in GAMMA. It was across the ocean in Tokyo city between GAMMA 265lbs champion Fidel Duberry and ONI kingpin Vangelis Kokkalis. In the end though, it was a very one sided affair. Fidel came in with very offensive intentions and hit Vangelis with a barrage of strikes, mixing it between punches and leg kicks. How Vangelis made it to round 2 was a mystery, however Fidel was not going to let this go any further and in round 2 he ended Vangelis recent streak with a huge uppercut, KOing the 36 year old veteran.
