  As the old guys always say, “Thats a tall glass of water” and it is one on our event poster this Sunday, after you see it you may need a tall glass of water to cool your nerves. Welcome back everyone to Heavyweight Prize Fighting's exciting Sunday night event that will take place here in Las Vegas. We have another full card featuring 10 fights full of violence for our viewer's pleasure.


 
 
 
Blake Elliot “Charles” Junior Shnitkey should be nicknamed “The Law Firm” for how many names he has, but some say he should be nicknamed “Sleep-Tight” for how many times he has been unconscious in the cage so far in his career. At 25 years old, Shnitkey has been knocked out 5 times and he has only fought in 11 matches. In our latest interview he complained about the outrageous amount of phone calls he had been receiving from Life Insurance agents trying to advertise their quotes with commision sales numbers and paperwork for him to sign. I wouldnt be so quick to write him off to the morgue but if I was a brain surgeon or primary care physician that specialized in Dimensia ailing victims, I would certainly contact this guy for some testing. Luckily for him, Driello Touredo is a diverse fighter and might decide to spare him by taking him to the ground and submitting him, but im sure he has noticed Shnitkey's tendencies and will try to take advantage of them in this fight.
 
 
 
Lenny McLean will try to follow up his victory over Josh Barnett with another win but this time it will be just a bit tougher to come across as he will take on Seamus O Donnell. Representing Cynical Truth, O Donnell will show off his elite Muay Thai kicks in hopes that they will score him a victory sunday. He has come on strong since his loss to Micheal Crichton in his HWP debut, giving us two exciting victories to watch. Also in his favor is that he is a much better wrestler, usually that will give a decent advantage if the fight gets to the ground. McLean is a much more proficient clinch fighter so I think O Donnell will try his best to avoid spending much time there. I think McLean, while fighting at a disadvantage, has a few very logical paths to victory and that might prove it hard for O Donnell to find himself on a 3 fight win streak.
 
 
 
Nick Gaston and Jack Anderson are meeting for the fight on this card that I expect to finish by knockout the absolute most. Gaston competed in 7 events before joining BEEF and has just hanging around in HWP for the rest of his career. Sitting at 31-14 I think that was a smart move of his to make. Gaston was finished in his last two fights being on the receiving end of knockouts from Sunny Supernova and Ruiner Barnett, so he will look to avenge those two losses here and has all of the tools anyone could possbily ask for against Jack Anderson. Anderson doesnt have any advantage on paper but all that matters is winning and at 22-9 he has certainly found a way to win. Jack Anderson does nearly everything in his fights except take his opponent down, that fact alone should provide for a good fight but if you werent convinced, Nick Gaston is no one trick pony. The best man will definitely win this one, but I am not so sure that I wont end up seeing this fight twice. 
 
 
 
Hiranuka Po Stakanu has been an extremely dangerous fighter, but when I looked at his opponent's stats I see no opportuntiy for Po to win. I am sure Hiranuka has it in his mind that he will steal a victory here but Brian King is just too much for him, being an elite boxer and nearly the same in Muay Thai and wrestling, The bomber will leave Stakanu's face the same way hiroshima was some time ago. 3 minutes was all Brian King needed for HWP judges to decide that he was the winner over reigning champion Jeremy Jackson and I believe that will be all he needs to dispose of Po on Sunday night as the main event. Stakanu doesnt really have many options here because in order to out-point him, he will want to land as many strikes as possible and accurately but if he puts more pop into his punches and kicks he may end up shadow boxing instead of fighting the King. Likewise, if he goes a bit too aggressive those same 3 minutes are just what the Bomber needs to put anyone to sleep. 
 
 
 
Packed with action scheduled for a slow Sunday night, HWP has put together another great event. Since we are in the gambling capital of the world it would only make sense for you fans to take some cash to the bank with bets on this event. I want to thank you all for reading and HWP's affiliates for making this happen. Have a great day and TO ALL ENJOY!
