 HFC 20 - Barbosa vs Diaz
Hello my HARDCORE faithful. It is safe to say a new age is upon us. Tonight marks the first title unification bout between HFC and Madness. The 145lb Madness belt will be retired for eternity. New York, New York, I hope you are ready for history because on 5/23 it will be made! President J.W. Hardman is glad everyone is excited, however he hasn't had a chance to enjoy much of it.- “It’s been full on, new contracts, events, even transitioning the BFC to be our development league, this last month has been busy! It is all very good things though as we are building a very solid foundation. To be honest we are building a dynasty”. Seems to be the case as HFC is now snuggly sitting in the top 10 organizations and BFC (HFC’s development organization) is sitting inside the top 20. This card will only help that fact as it is absolutely stacked. Let's jump right into this thing, it is going to be epic.
Daniel Barbosa (8-3) Vs. Jewel "Diamond in the Rough" Diaz (7-1-1) - 145lb Featherweight Bout
Considering the belt will be won moments before this fight, it is safe to say this one has some huge implications. In fact I will say it, whoever wins the fight below, should not get too comfortable, because they will be facing the winner of this fight very soon after. The 145lb division is on fire and people are pumped about it. This is pretty clean cut style wise. Jewel wants to ground and pound, Barbosa is a powerful striker on the feet. Both fighters will do their best to avoid the other's expertise. Should be a legendary fight that could go either way.
Prediction: Both fighters end bloodied and beaten, 3 rounds of punishment is given out both ways. Judges give Jewel a small split decision victory.
©"The Maniac" Wreak Havoc Vs. ©DeShawn West (9-0) - 145lb Featherweight Title Unification Bout
Oh man, it's rare I get this pumped for a fight. Champ vs Champ. DeShawn has looked devastatingly unstoppable, racking up 9 wins and 0 losses. His Muay Thai is phenomenal. The "The Maniac" Wreak Havoc is coming off a tough loss when he fought in a different cross organization battle against a different 145lb champ. Technically this is The Maniac’s 4th straight fight against someone holding a belt. Tough stretch no question. This will be a great fight. I give a slight edge to DeShawn but The Maniac is so crafty I can see anything happening here.
Prediction: Deshawn cruises through four rounds displaying his amazing Muay Thai. Then in the fifth round, a light switches and DeShawn decides to end it, he lands a brutal flying knee that instantly KO’s The Maniac Wreak Havoc. DeShawn West is the new HFC 145lb champion. He has a stern warning for the rest of the division to “retire”.
"Rancid" Reno Rocca (9-4) Vs. "The Phoenix" Chanthaphone Southanouvong (7-2) - 185lb Middleweight Bout
Very exciting fight here. HFC mainstay Reno Rocca will show The Phoenix how HFC does things. This will be Phoenix’s first fight under the HFC banner. Both these guys will be top contenders once the dust settles from the merger. A treat for us to see them square off now. Phoenix will look to box but also likes to wrestle. Rocca is very good at submissions, he may be able to catch Phoenix on one if Phoenix is not careful.
Prediction: The Phoneix rises from the ashes and puts on a great performance, he finishes Rocca with some nasty GNP in the 2nd round.
Boris Krylov (6-2) Vs. "The Anaconda" Henri Kirchen (5-1) - 265lb Heavyweight Bout
Two incredibly talented Heavyweights duking it out. This will also have big implications in the rankings moving forward. Boris has lethal hands. He’s literally killed like 5 people with his punches. The Anaconda is lethal on the ground. He’s literally killed like 5 dudes with his submissions. Someone may die in this fight but it will be epic to watch.
Prediction: Boris clips the Anaconda with a massive right hand. Boris then makes the fatal mistake of following the Anaconda to the mat, 45 seconds later and Boris is tapping out due to a nasty arm lock.
