A possible explosive clash looms between two of the highest regarded females in the league, WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Champion and Actress “Money Heist” Jennifer Miranda (8-0) and Danielle Bennet (7-1) representing Atlanta. Another volatile matchup that fans are monitoring is undefeated Devon Young versus Errol Spence sparring partner Adrian Taylor (13-1) of Dallas. There is also an intriguing battle between Javonn Davis (7-0) of Atlanta vs. AJ Graham (10-0) of Dallas, in a battle of undefeated warriors. Coaches play an outsized role in Team Combat League matchups, pre-approved by boxing commissions, which are determined on the fly. Coaches alternate selecting one of three fighters rostered in each respective weight class to send in against an fighter already proposed by the opposing coach. Viewers are left in the dark as to which fighter each team will do battle with one another until the decision is made by coaches in real time. This uncertainty, combined with the fast paced three-minute round in boxing rules format, will provide constant action where spectators will be left on the edge of their seats to see what comes next. “We are honored to be taking part in the first ever match of the Team Combat League,” coach Arnold of the Attack remarked. “We intend to have the Atlanta Attack ready to live up to its name by coming out as aggressors against the Dallas Enforcers.” “We do not feel the Enforcers can match up to our grit, determination and talent and expect for that to be on display on Wednesday, March 29.” coach Mustafa Meekins added.“We are excited about finally putting all our training on display for all fans to see,” AC Bryant of the Dallas Enforcers said. “We have a great tradition in Dallas of sports teams that excite the local fan base, and we hope and expect to continue in the tradition of other great Dallas sports teams. Dismantling the Atlanta Attack will be the first step towards establishing a winning tradition in Dallas.” |
