Friday Night at the Fights!

Wheeling, West Virginia

Here is the results and some details of this event. The fights took place at the Wheeling Island & Race Track arena which had a casino inside. (We had to peal Mr. Stafford away from the slot machines !)Before going any further I should add that Juice was the only kickboxing fight of the night (It was under International rules), and Mikes match was an amature Boxing match. Juice fought a good fight, it went all 3 rounds. However he unfortunately lost the decision, but he did very well from the outside landing many, many, leg kicks and body kicks. His opponent (Brian Cameches) was able to get Juice to the ropes where he used his boxing to score some nice shots that cost Juice the decision. Mikes fight was shaping up to be a good one, Mike looked really good early on slipping jabs and contering well until he decided he wanted to go for the KO early (Bad idea !) Both Mike Russo and his oppenent Mike Metz were throwing heavy bombs, it was just a matter of time until one connected unfortunetly it was Russo who caught the big one first. It takes Big Balls just to get in the ring many people will talk all tough but will never back it up. As far as the rest of the night of fights they were all Professional Boxing matches, which I might add were very exciting. A special thank you to Tim Stafford, and Brett Wessler for helping me corner. Also a special thank you to Amanda Lucic for coming out and cheering the team on. Both Mike, and Juice are warriors and both deserve respect. Both these men will be back stronger & more focused than ever. Ill see everybody in class !
