Ryan "The Lion" Madigan wins again !

Woodbridge, Virginia

On a show promoted by Scott Howard and Sean Douglas, Ryan was able to add yet another victory to his ever growing Proffesional record. Prior to Ryan's fight there had been a verbal agreement that the Muay Thai match would be for 4 rounds, since it was to be the main event of the evening. To jump back a few clicks the rest of the card consisted of a mix of Muay Thai, a couple of Mixed Martial Arts matches, and one Shidokan fight where Promoter/Fighter Sean Douglas walked away with the victory. Now back to "The Lion's match round 1 consisted of Ryan methodically picking apart his oppenent. Ryan was able to throw a lot of punching combinations that he would always end with a kick to the leg, body, or head, the only thing Ryan's oppenent was able to score in Round 1 was a Right hand to Ryan's head. Now on to round 2, Ryan would open things up with a straight right hand that would send his opponent from the middle of the ring clear into the ropes. With his oppenent on the ropes "The Lion" would start to chop at his legs at will. (That's what Muay Thai is all about!) In the 3 round Ryan was able to land many head kicks. Landing at will Ryan's confidence began building, with that said Ryan would attempt a front leg spinning back kick to his oppenents body. The spinning back kick would just barely miss it's mark only grazing the side of his oppenent. Later in the round Ryan got caught by a kick to the head which would open a nasty cut above Ryan's right eyebrow, however for those of you who know Ryan know that it takes a lot more than that to slow "The Lion" down. Ryan would next pin his opponent against the ropes where he would land several good old fashioned knees to his opponent to end the round. During the rest period Ryan's coach (Lorenzo Scott) was able to stop the bleeding from Ryan's cut and had him ready to Roar into the 4th round of a fight he was already winning. However right before the 4th round bell could sound Ryan's oppenent had his gloves cut off and refused to fight the 4th round in which they had already agreed upon. In my opinion only I think that Ryan's opponent new he had been beaten and was just trying to play off the cut so he would look good. Ryan should have been awarded the KO victory since his opponent was unable to answer the bell in the 4th, instead he was awarded the Unanimous decision victory. Way to go "Lion" the GriffonRawl team congratulates you on your recent victory.
