Michael Dutchover Dominates in Main Event Debut

发表评论

费城, 佩恩/奥兰治, 加利福尼亚州. (三月 19, 2018)–初中轻量级 迈克尔Dutchover (8-0, 5 科斯) delivered an impressive performance in his main event debut 星期六 night from the Doubletree Hotel 在 橙子, 加利福尼亚州.

达奇奥弗, 20, thoroughly out boxed and outmaneuvered solid prospect 里卡多·洛佩斯(7-2-2, 6 科斯) to the tune of a one-side, unanimous decision win (分数: 59-55 在周围).
“I felt like I controlled the entire fight from beginning to end,” remarked Dutchover, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “He tried to come on late in the fight, but it was too late for him. I had already figured him out.”
的确, Dutchover put his stamp on the fight from the outset. The first three rounds consisted of the Texas native firing shots from a variety of angles. 洛佩兹, who is based in Tijuana, Mex., tried to get back in the game in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Dutchover used his counter punching ability to stymie the attack.
战斗之前, Dutchover promised to show off a more polished skill set after recently working as the chief sparring partner to world champion Oscar Valdez. He certainly looked like the high-end prospect that many predicted he would become once his impressive amateur run came to a close.
“I wanted to be smart out there,” said Dutchover after the fight. “You can’t overwhelm everyone with natural ability. At some point you’re going to have to think your way out of a tough situation. I think I showed off my ring IQ tonight [星期六].”

The bout was the co-feature this past 星期五 night at the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, 加利福尼亚州.

别墅, 20, capitalized on his southpaw stance by landing a strong jab and countering with a right hook that routinely found its mark. Sandoval often looked confused and never managed to find any angles against the busier Villa.
“I just tried to keep the pressure on him from start to finish,” 说别墅, who is co-promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing. “I think he fought a cautious fight, but I was still able to land a lot of punches in every round.”
Villa was most impressive in the fourth and fifth rounds when he delivered numerous sets of combinations that stunned the taller Sandoval. While Villa kept his unbeaten streak alive 在周五 夜晚, 另一个, less recognizable streak ended. In his previous unanimous decision wins, Villa had won every round on every scorecard. 在周五 夜晚, one judge failed to give Villa all six rounds (59-55).
“That streak was bound to end sooner or later,” Villa said. “I’ll have to start another one.”
“Once again Ruben had a terrific outing 在周五 夜晚,” 说横幅促销总统, 阿蒂Pelullo.

该 “Path to Glory” co-feature between Villa and Sandoval is set for 6-rounds and originates from the Doubletree Hotel in Ontario, 加利福尼亚州. 今晚.

别墅, a former two-time Golden Gloves winner, gave his take on 今晚的 last minute match up, his early dominance on the scorecards, and what its like sparring against heavier competition.

Your main sparring partners for this training camp were Joel Diaz, JR. and Andy Vences. Both fight at a heavier weight class than you (135-140 磅。). What kind of advantage will that give you 在周五 夜晚?

“It’s a tremendous advantage. 我的教练, Max Garcia, wanted me to spar bigger, longer guys with respectable records. Both Joel and Andy have hit the 20-fight mark and are highly skilled. I went four-minute rounds with them to make sure I was prepared for Tamayo. They gave me excellent work.”

Is there anything specific that you dialed in on for this training camp?

“I’m trying to use more angles so I can attack in different ways. 还, trying to mix up my movements so I don’t telegraph what I’m trying to do.”

Your opponent, Juan Sandoval, was added at the last minute. How does this affect your preparation?

“它的拳击. This type of stuff happens all the time especially when you’re first starting out. I’m not too worried. I put in an excellent training camp and I’m prepared for everything.”

Of your five wins that have resulted in unanimous decision victories, you’ve managed to win every round on every scorecard. Did you expect that kind of dominance early on?

“Staying in the gym pays dividends, but at the same time you should see that type of dominance in a prospect. The ability to impose your will boosts your confidence. I see every round of every fight going my way. It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence and you need that belief otherwise you’re in trouble.”

Villa is promoted by Banner Promotions and Thompson Boxing.

LAS VEGAS, 内华达 – 传统格斗联盟 (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 有 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, 亚利桑那, and Louisiana.

LFA的重头戏 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 30 – Millender VS. Barnes takes place 星期五, 1月12日 at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, 加利福尼亚州.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. 在主要事件, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “狼人” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place 星期五, January 19th 在凤凰城的联信剧院, 亚利桑那.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. 在主要事件, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. 在共顶篷, red-hot Ryan “超人” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place 星期五, January 26th 在掘金酒店在 & 赌场在查尔斯湖, 路易斯安那州.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on 1月12日. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
边角料 (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. 巴恩斯, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
LFA的重头戏 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. 在纸上, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. 然而, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. 莫菲特, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). The man known as “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
LFA联合主赛事 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “超人” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 和 LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 分钟和 28 秒.
九月 2016, Legacy FC 和 RFA 官员宣布，他们将合并成立综合武术领域首屈一指的发展组织 (MMA) 一月开始 2017. Legacy FC 和 RFA 已经开启了超过 150 已经通过在UFC的竞争达到了MMA的巅峰运动员.
