Warehouse Wars 2

Toledo, Ohio

The Griffonrawl team ventured deep into the ghetto of Toledo to do battle in the "Warehouse Wars". Promoter Shawn Douglas did a great job of creating a real "Fight Club" type of atmosphere, and Griffonrawl fighters Aaron "Juice" Veverka and Mike "The Bull" Russo were up to the challenge. The turnout was less than expected, but it is understandable, as even the bad boys of Griffonrawl were looking over their shoulders while walking out to their cars in the ghetto warzone of Toledo. The details of each bout are given below.Aaron "Juice" Veverka vs. Mike O'neil (Winner by KO, Aaron "Juice-Dawg-in-the-hizzie" Veverka)Juice and his opponent came out fast and furious in the first round. They both looked sharp, were throwing good combinations, and were both eager to get off first. The first round was pretty even. Juice tended to dominate with kicks and knees, while opponent dominated when punches were thrown. After the first round, Juice adapted quickly to his opponents skills. Although Juice has good hands, his kicks and knees became his real weapons. In the second round, Juice kicked and kneed his opponent skillfully and mercilessly, while staying relaxed and pacing himself. In the third round, Juice began to enjoy himself. He would charge his opponent with flying push kicks and flying knees, and then immediately clinch, and methodically wear down his opponent with knees. He threw one final knee to the chest which sent his opponent to the canvas. Both of these fighters showed great skill, discipline and conditioning. Congratulations to Juice on his superior performance.Mike "The Bull" Russo vs. Carlos Druedwater (Winner by KO, Opponent)This bout should have been called "The Running of the Bulls", as Mike and Opponent came out sluggin' in the first round. They both landed some brutal punches, kicks, knees in the first round, and both seemed to be enjoying a contest of "who can hit harder". In the second round, it was apparent that both fighters wanted to exercise more caution as there was more feigning, head movement, and combinations thrown. Both men were looking good until Opponent had Mike against the ropes, and threw a cross - hook - right head kick combination that sent Mike to the canvas. Mike did not give anything up, as Opponent landed a beautiful head kick from very close range, and it caught Mike right on the buzzer. Hats off to both of these gentlemen, they put on a great show.
