Following the recent success of Tuesday Fight Nights 1 Team Thomas Fight Club: Amateurs returns to Wild Bob’s Bar on 6th March 2012 bringing with them Tuesday Fight Nights 2. Miyake Morimasa will be taking on the older and many could argue in his prime "The American Dream" David Cross in the main event of the night. In the co-main event of the night the very experienced Eddie O Hare is taking on Frederic Laurent.   

Let’s have a look at the event and the fighters that are involved, where I will give my opinion on the fighters, the matchup and my prediction for the fight.  

[MAIN EVENT] - Preview & Predictions  
[01] Miya Morimasa vs. David Cross  
[02] Frederic Laurent vs. Eddie O Hare  
[03] Bruce Wayne vs. Mark Ellis  
[04] Frankie Ricci vs. Jimmy Sisphar  
[05] Charles Whentworth vs. Aurini God Emperor  

[UNDERCARD] - Only Predictions.   
[06] Bernard Chapin vs. John Hubert  
[07] Felix Cardosa vs. Lick Myballs  
[08] Dick Niaz vs. Cody Rose  
[09] Harold Palmer vs. Tyrone Sprong  
[10] Satiago De Jesus vs. Cain Velasquez  
[01] [LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT – MIYAKE MORIMASA VS. DAVID CROSS]  

David Cross is just coming off the first round destruction of Arn Anderson which leaves him at a three fight win streak however his oppenent in Morimasa is on a 2 fight win streak aswell. Morimasa who's had 28 matches overall has only ever had one decision and the majority of his matches have ended in the first or early second round win or lose. This is a very interesting fight because they both have knockout power and are both in there prime at the moment. Personally I feel is Cross loses it could be the end of at least the title race for him because he's at an age now where a loss will really slow him down, so if he wants to challenge for a belt this match is a must win for him.   

- PREDICTION -   

I think Miyake Morimasa will manage to take away the win, that's not to think it's going to be easy for him. However from what you can see from his record, if he makes one mistake a person with the skill like Cross's he will take the mistake and use it into his own advantage and most likely finish the fight.   

Miyake Morimasa via TKO in round one.  

[02] [WELTERWEIGHT – FREDERIC LAURENT VS. EDDIE O HARE]  

It's a suprise to me that the co-main event is being fought in the welterweight division because TTFC:A don't have a welterweight division, however there are many reasons behind the scenes why this could be! Aslong as they put on a good show and have both agreed to fight in this weightclass then let's get it on!   

O Hare is the elder by four years and ten more fights on his record than Laurent you can certainly say that he has more experience than his younger competitor. However if you look at Laurent he is currently unstoppable at the moment, his career started with a loser to an elder fighter in Abieezer but he seemed to learned from his mistakes in that match and went on to a six fight win streak by finishing each oppenent in the very first round. But if it goes past the second round it will go to the decision and it would be interesting to see how well Laurent could do in the second and third rounds as the last time that happened he lost the decision.   

- PREDICTION -  

Very hard one to predict because normally I would go with experience and age over everything else, however Laurent is completely unstoppable at the moment and I don't think O Hare will be the one to stop him either.  

Frederic Laurent via KO in round one.  

[03] [LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT – BRUCE WAYNE VS. MARK ELLIS]  

Mark Ellis will be taking on Bruce Wayne in one of the main cards of the night! This would be the classic striker vs. grappler match and when both fighters are undefeated with a record of two wins and no loses which should make for a very interesting fight. One thing keeps coming to mind, I really hope for sake of Mark Ellis’s health that Bruce Wayne isn’t the famous billionaire from Gotham city because we might have to get an ambulance ready.  

Anyway Wayne is quite a good striker and when compared to Ellis he is far superior. He will have a little more confidence because he came off his last win via TKO in the first round. However Ellis has won both his last two fights via submission both of which in the first round.  

- PREDICTION -  

I think Ellis is going to work to get this onto the ground as fast as he can and then once he has Bruce Wayne there he will make him tap or take a limb home with him. Either way he will get the win, unless Bruce Wayne manages to use that god like brain of his and show us he is the real Bruce Wayne billionaire and not just a copycat.  

Mark Ellis via Submission in round one.  

[04] [LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT – FRANKIE RICCI VS. JIMMY SISPHAR]  

Boxer vs. Muay Thai... the old classic question, who is better? Which stands above the other? Personally I've always been a Muay Thai fan ever since I watched the Thailand special forces and how they trained. So stepping into this fight I'd be abit one sided and think that Jimmy Sisphar has the upper hand on on Frankie. Looking at Frankie though he has the boxing power and the chin, also his first and only fight was won by submission and this make you wonder if Ricci can block his submission attempts if he gets him to the ground!  

- PREDICTION -  

I believe even though Sisphar could keep this standing and win the fight this way I believe that Ricci should be able to protect himself from an early storm and then take it too the ground and ultimatly win the fight.  

Frankie Ricci via Submission in round two.  

[05] [MIDDLE WEIGHT – CHARLES WHENTWORTH VS. AURINI GOD EMPEROR]  

God Emperor is debuting in this opening fight on the main card and he takes on Whentworth who is coming off a loss from last year so hopefully he has trained his weaknesses and is ready to step into the cage again.   

God Emperor has the advantage when it comes to the ground and wrestling which I think he should use to his advantage if he managed to stay out of Whentworth's clinch, that's the question though. Can he stay out of the clinch?   

- PREDICTION -  

I think coming off the loss and not fighting since last year will be difficult for Whentworth and he won't have time to relax and God Emperor will get an early take down and submit him or ground and pound him.  

Aurini God Emperor via Submission in round one.  

[06] [MIDDLEWEIGHT - BERNARD CHAPIN VS. JOHN HUBERT]  

Bernard Chapin via Unanimous decision.  

[07] [MIDDLEWEIGHT - FELIX CARDOSA VS. LICK MYBALLS]  

Lick Myballs via TKO in round two.  

[08] [MIDDLEWEIGHT - DICK NIAZ VS. CODY ROSE]  

Cody Rose via TKO in round three.   

[09] [MIDDLEWEIGHT - HAROLD PALMER VS. TYRONE SPRONG]  

Tyrone Sprong via Unanimous decision.   

[10] [MIDDLEWEIGHT - SANTIAGO DE JESUS VS. CAIN VELASQUEZ]  

Santiago De Jesus via Knockout in round two.
