Galaxy 68: Tradition Preview!

Event Preview: Galaxy 68: Tradition
Feral Combat
2013-08-11, London, Hard Knocks - London
Author:

After 37 events we are finally back with a preview! Since Galaxy 30 we had tons of exciting fights, a lot of blood was spilled and we saw the rise of new champions. But none of that matters because today we will have all of that in only one event! We will have not 1, not 2 but 3 title fights! This event has everything to be the greatest event of the org and I bet you won’t be disappointed. So enjoy a little piece of Galaxy FC legacy and join us in our Galaxy 68: Tradition preview!


Claudio ‘’Papa’’ Damaestri vs Jack ‘’Last Chance’’ Colquitt

To open this great event we will have a battle of strikers. But they have different styles. Colquitt is a traditional boxer while Damaestri is a clinch fighter. Both of these guys are young fighters and have negative records. Colquitt already proved his value for the org but he is in a bad run, losing 6 of his 9 fights for the org.  Damaestri is debuting for the org and want to show his skills. From my point of view, Colquitt struggles a lot in the clinch and that can be deadly to him but I trust he has enough power to score a knockout. No predictions here!


‘’Thumbs Up’’ Pekka Kaukalo vs Tasos Ieronymakis

Although this is only the second fight, I guarantee you we have 2 awesome fighters here that could easily be on the top of the heavyweight division. These guys are vicious strikers and they want to chop each other’s head as soon as the bell rings! Kaukalo Just fought for the title in other org and lost it. Tasos also come from a lost when he debuted for the org, getting knocked out in the first round. A lot of pride is in stake here and both fighters know they have the potential to beat everyone’s ass and eventually claim for the title but today only one will be victorious. What are your bets?


Bryce ‘’Lucky Limes’’ ODonnell vs Frank Calamity

This fight will be very interesting. Bryce for the first time is moving to the featherweight division. He moved down because the champion if the lightweight division is his team member and they want to conquer all divisions possible. He has 3 wins in a roll. The same as Calamity who has 2 wins in a roll and wants to keep the good moment. Both of these guys are well rounded and sincerely, I have no clue where they will want to take the fight. It could be a striking match or maybe a ground fight. The only thing for sure it that this is going to be a great fight! The winner will mostly likely do a contender fight next!


Casey Ryback vs Alex Boulder

It was very hard to match this fight. 2 different guys turned down the fight offer to fight Ryback but not Boulder. This guy is a trooper. He took the fight in short notice and wants to prove the world the power he has in his hands. But Ryback has nothing to do with this. He has 2 wins in a roll and wants to add one more. He is a well rounded fighter while Boulder is a boxer. Boulder brawls hard and if he gets you, it’s hospital time. That being said, Ryback is the most skilled fighter here and should use his ground game to get a safe victory.


‘’The Big Bear’’ Jong Bak vs ‘’Bounty Hunter’’ Jaques Du Coudray

Both of these guys are very even both on the stand up as on the ground. Bak since he joined the org has more losses than victories and he wants to change that. Du Coudray in the other hand has hit a few bumps but in the overall he is doing great. Bak nailed most of his victories by submission and he probably will look for one more in this fight. My bet is Jaques will keep the fight standing at all cost but I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins this bout on the ground. Maybe he has more tools to win this fight but he has to keep his focus all the time, otherwise Bak will take his arm home or put him to sleep.


‘’Wonderboy’’ Chris Van De Kemp vs Jake Dixon

Van De Kemp is with us since day one. He fought one Galaxy 1, he is the second fighter who most fought for the org and he is also the second fighter who has more submissions for the org. Add 5 awards of the night along the way and you will have a hall of fame candidate! Dixon in the other hand is in a very bad shape with almost no energy. If he doesn’t stop with the booze, he will be an easy prey and Van De Kemp will score another submission in his career. I hope he recover his senses and have a good fight.


Kinfe Kidane vs Dante ‘’The Hurricane’’ Smith

Kinfe is a former contender for the heavyweight division and he managed to draw with the undefeated champion but in the rematch, he got KOed in the second round.  Dante debuted very well with a KO but in his second fight, he was the one Knocked out. Both of these guys want redemption and get back on track to the title. To achieve that, both have to use their striking skills. Dante is a boxer with 11 wins by knockout while Kidane is a deadly clinch fighter and will probably want to take the fight there. I don’t know who will win but I don’t think they will leave this fight in the hands of the judges.


Dan ‘’The Man’’ Swanson vs ‘’One Punch’’ Brad Brunch

We will finally have our first title fight of the night! For the 190K+ Openweight division, we will have a rematch. Brunch has one lost in his career and it was for Swanson. And Swanson, well, he has 7 wins streak, having defending his title twice. He is also a hall of fame contestant and I’m glad to announce he will be the first fighter from our junior division to ascend to his natural weight! That being said, both of these guys are strikers with 9 victories in their career. Swanson has 8 KOs and Brunch has 9! The only decision victory from Swanson was against Brunch! This fight will be awesome and I bet this time we will see a knockout today! Can’t wait for this fight!


‘’Nro 3’’ Luu Viulu vs Gerwazy Obuch

In the co main event we have the light heavyweight title in stake. We will have the clash of two major forces of the org: The finns and the poles! Viulu defending his title and the pride of the finns is a striker, finishing 12 of his 16 victories by KO. In his first title defense he was the underdog and managed to beat his opponent. In the polish side we have Obuch, he is a young grappler with an undefeated record of 7 victories. If he wins, he will be the youngest fighter to become champion in the history of Galaxy FC, besting Rondo in this matter. Since we have a classic striker versus grappler in this fight, it’s quite obvious what they should do to win so as long as Viulu keeps the fight standing, he is the favorite but if it goes to the ground, Obuch is the man. Who will win? Watch the fight and found out!


Eli ‘’Apprime’’ Armis vs Reginald Francis Colon

In the main event we will have the battle of Colon versus Armis for the bantamweight title! Colon has a great history is Galaxy FC. He fights here since Galaxy 1 and in Galaxy 57 he finally became the champion. He has a record of 7-1 for Galaxy FC and that puts him in the run to become a hall of fame! Armis in the other had made his debut in Galaxy 60 with a win by submission in less than a minute of fight, making him a top contender for the division. Both of these guys are ground fighters but Colon is only a wonderful wrestler while Armis holds a BJJ black belt. Maybe the key to the victory for Colon is to stand and bang otherwise he might get submitted. Still, anything is possible here! I think it will be a great fight!


Phew, preview finally done! I hope you all enjoy it. I kept it short and simple which should do the trick. We will have 3 title fights in this event and I think there is a good chance we beat our ratings score. Cross your fingers and stay tuned for this event because it will be awesome!

See ya
