 We had a terrific Wednesday Warfare because it was action packed. Out of the ten fights we had seven finishes and only one of those was a submission. We had three big knock outs and a few decisions that where still amazing fights. It seemed the whole night everyone just kicked it into gear, as we sold out The Underground packing in a thousand people. I was a little broke this week so I was unable to place bets, but let’s see if I would have been a winner this week.
Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Derec "The Smile" Negreanu defeats Timothy "The Assassin" Christopher Iii
Alright I started off the night getting a correct prediction. I called the Canadian to win, but I am a little embarrassed since I thought it would go to decision. I thought to myself this is one of those fights where it seems nobody was getting finished rather someone was dominating or not. A jab and then an overhand right put Christopher the III to the ground, and then Negreanu jumped on top and got the referee stoppage at :05 seconds of the first round. I got the fighter correct but I was off on the time by almost fifth teen minutes.
Preliminary Bout Number 2- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)
Darek "The Polish Prodigy" Walczak defeats "WEAPON X" Jason Prolight
From so close to so far away, I did not get the round, method, or fighter in the one correct. I had said Prolight should win with a submission in the second round. Well the fight ended in the first round not the second, it was by knockout and not submission, and yep you guessed it Walczak defeated Prolight. Prolight got the early takedown but Darek was able to control long enough for a standup from the referee. After the standup it was all The Polish Prodigy’s fight, as he was stopping takedowns from double legs, and clinch takedowns. In the meantime he was just all over Prolight with kicks, knees, elbows and fists. Walczak got the big win after a massive knee put Prolight out of it at 3:18 of the first round.
Preliminary Bout Number 3- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)
Flash "Light" Gordon defeats Jack "The Tank" Harris
Gordon came looking to take Harris’s head off. Right from the opening buzzer Gordon was on him in and out of the clinch. Gordon early in the round land a flush shot and Harris hit the deck, but he did a nice job covering up and preventing the stoppage, plus putting the fight where he wants it. Gordon on top though just stalled after Harris had recovered so we got a referee standup. As soon as Gordon could get his hands on Harris off the standup he took it. The clinch seemed like too much work trying to stop the takedown so Gordon broke the clinch loaded up and kicked Harris right in the head knocking him flat out at 1:57 of the first round. That is another win for me going up to two and one for the night, but I just can’t seem to get the finish or round correct.
Preliminary Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Andrew "Animal" Todd defeats Peter "Spiderman" Season
I thought this was going to be a real short fight and I also thought Season was going to dominate. The first round Todd got a few takedowns and on the ground he worked striking as well as making some nice transitions but I did not think Season was in any trouble during the round. That round was easily won by Todd 10-9 all the way around.
Todd dominated round two just as much if not more. He landed more punches and just executed a wonderful game plan. All three judges scored the round 10-8 and I can agree with that. Todd do some laying around on the ground and got stood up once, but Season did nothing.
Round three Season was a little more active off his back in the prior rounds, but nothing spectacular. Season was able to force two refree stand ups and he attempted a submission but still he was taken down twice. The clear winner of this round was the same as the last, 10-9 for Todd giving him the unanimous decision win, 30-26 on all three judges scorecards. Well maybe I am just lucky not being able to gamble this week, two and two is not a good start to the night.
Preliminary Bout Number 5- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Lygmantas Daunotas defeats Lotas Mauras
Wow! Daunotas is a beast! Opens the fight up with a massive head kick cut and dropping Mauras and when Mauras stood up he was just drove into the ground with a huge takedown from Daunotas. Daunotas smelled blood in the water and he was looking for a submission of any kind, and once he couldn’t get one he took full mount. From there he just started driving punches into Mauras’s head and we got the stoppage at 4:55 of the first round. The violent one Lygmantas Daunotas is for real, and I cannot wait to see him in action again.
Main Card Bout Number 1- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
Jonathan "Beast" Vinyard defeats Robert "Chop" Decker
I pretty much nailed this one, got almost every detail correct. Decker went for the early takedown and got it. Decker then went for the submission and Vinyard escaped in side control. From there both fighter continued to look for submissions but Vinayard maintained the dominance in the fight. Vinyard got the submission when Decker tapped out to a Kimura at 3:25 of the first round.
Main Card Bout Number 2- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
Duke Ellington defeats Cap Roundtree
This went the way I thought it would, except Roundtree put up a much better fight then I thought he could. I just felt that Ellington was head and shoulders better at everything that I honestly thought Roundtree would lose in the opening seconds. Roundtree impressed me with his heart and chin in this fight as he was clearly out classed. Ellington picked Roundtree apart landing almost seventy strikes before the big TKO. For Roundtree to take that much punishment and then come back for more shocked me. Roundtree is sure to have a bright future if he can improve his striking skills, and start working on a decent ground game. The tools are there for him to have a great career. Ellington continued down redemption road though as he got a TKO win at 3:45 of the third round.
Main Card Bout Number 3- Middleweight Fight (185lbs)
"The Muharib" Mohamed al Hadj defeats "Al Capone" Vanden Plas
Wow now this was a great fight. Two strikers went toe to toe for over ten minutes. Hadj completely destroyed Plas in the first round, as he outclassed him in with punches and kicks. Hadj was dodging and ducking most of what Plas had to offer. Hadj was able to cut Plas in this round as he clearly won it. The second round was not to much different as Hadj poured on the strikes. Plas did manage to land a bit more in the second but nothing earth shattering. The third round was crazy. Plas came out crazy in the third round and he landed a big kick cutting Hadj. Mohamed al Hadj instantly started firing back with everything he had. A few seconds later Plas was dropped with a burtal right hand that knocked him flat out. Hadj wins by knockout at 1:21 of the first round.
Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Bantamweight Title Fight (135lbs)
Ethan "Captain Insaneo" Harris defeats Takeshi Watanabe
I don’t even know what to say about this fight. How was this the fight of the night? This could have been the most boring fight ever seen, hundred percent match raiting my ass. Harris retained the title in a five round decision where he landed twenty five elbows from the clinch out of one hundred and ten, and he scored a single take down. The twenty five minutes of the fight for Watanabe was worse. This guy landed seven combos out of eighty something attempts and he was three of six from inside the clinch with punches. This was honestly boring to watch, Harris retains the title as stated in a five round decision.
Main Even Main Card Bout Number 5- Featherweight Fight (145lbs)
Roy "The Wardog" Pitbull defeats "THE KING" Oliver Queen
I had a feeling that these two would go to decision and Pitbull would win, though I did think this was going to be a strike fest. That was clearly not the case as Pitbull took the fight to the mat early and the two exchanged submission attempts. Queen tried for eight but they were easily defended and the round goes to Pitbull. Round two was pretty much the same except the two both tried four submissions after the takedown and once again nobody could finish. Round two goes to Pitbull and round three will have to as well. Pitbull scored two takedowns and both fighter went for two submissions each. Pitbull maintained the dominance throughout the entire fight. I gave all three rounds to Pitbull and so did all three judges. Pitbul wins by unanimous decision 30-27 on all three cards.
Well I am certainly happy I didn’t have the cash to gamble this week. Going six and four I would have lost money more than likely. Tomorrow I will have your next preview and I am dropping some cash on this one, so get your paychecks ready guys.
