Sou montre nan, Lawrence anrejistre bobin rekò veterinè KO a nan RFA alun ak aktyèl zetwal ch James Krause kòm byen ke fyète ak evantyèlman ch avyon de gè Cristiano Marcelo. Lawrence, yon ansyen de-tan Gan Golden chanpyon ak dekore kickboxer, sèlman te gen yon 3-0 dosye nan mma nan moman an, men rive nan trimès-final yo anvan touche “Goumen nan mitan lannwit lan” ak “KO nan mitan lannwit lan” bonis pou KO visye li nan Jan Cofer nan premye ch li.
