I am happy, sad, excited, and mad all at the same time. Do you guys want to know why? Well I don’t care if you do or don’t I am going to explain. First thing I am happy because my boy Don Schmidt laid someone else out, and returned to his dominate form. I am sad because I think Don is becoming a gate keeper. From the looks of it he might be the WFL version of Jon Fitch. He was dominated by Haarmann and I don’t know if he can beat him, but it seems nobody else in the division stands a chance against Schmidt. I am excited because Mike Town and Bob Henderson are fighting tonight and they are managed by my longtime friend Jonny Showtime, who brought me into this business. Now on to why I am mad, flat out I am seeing no activity on the Smack Talk Thread. Get over there and read these reviews in style instead of a little piece of main. Let us know what you think of the results, previews, future fights, call someone out, talk a little trash, give someone an ata boy, or do an interview. Every time you post in the forums you get two spin and win credits, for every ten credits you get a spin and you can win a lot of great stuff. I have won lotto tickets that netted me sixty bucks, I have won cask just under nine thousand, IQ tests, and best of all thirteen days of VIP. Turn this org into a community and receive prizes just for doing it. Few, now that I have gotten that off my chest let’s look at these fights.
Preliminary Bout Number 1- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Jon "Iron Will" Waldteufel (1-3) {0-3} versus Shen "The God Of War" Woo (0-2) {0-1}
These two have a combined WFL record of zero and four and Waldteufel has three of those loses. Jon not only has three loses but he was finished in all three of them. Waldteufel is a ground and pounder and if he wants to win this fight he will need to take Woo off his feet. Woo is a boxer and he needs to stay flat footed to generate his power. Woo tried way to many take downs in his last two fights for my taste and he should not go to the ground with Waldtefel. I think Woo will win this fight by TKO and I think it will happen in the second round.
Preliminary Bout Number 2- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Heikki "The Helsinki Hitman" Hirvonen (4-3) {0-0} versus Sergei "Perec" Garkov (4-7) {0-1}
Hirvonen has everything to lose and absolutely nothing to gain in this fight. Even though he is making his WFL debut he is a much higher rated fighter than Garkov. When you are rated and ranked higher a win does not do much for you, while a loss really hurts you so The Helsinki Hitman needs to be prepared. I don’t know how he prepares for this battle though as Garkov has better stand up and a more developed ground game. Sergei also has the age and the experience advantage in this fight. I see this fight going to the judges and my money would be on Garkov to win 30-27.
Preliminary Bout Number 3- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
Fernando "The Flash" Martinez (4-3) {0-1} versus Bob Henderson (1-1) {1-1}
Martinez is a wrestler and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. After seeing Henderson get submitted in his first fight you know Martinez will be going hard for a takedown. If he can get the takedown he will submit Henderson with ease. Henderson is a boxer who lands nice accurate punches and combinations. We have seen him go for takedowns but I am pretty sure that is just a way to score points, because we have not seen him do anything on the ground except tap out. Henderson will want to avoid going to the ground at all costs. I don’t think Henderson will keep this fight standing and I hate it but I have to pick against my friends fighter. I am going with Martinez to win by submission in the second round.
Preliminary Bout Number 4- Light Heavyweight Fight (205lbs)
David "El Toro" Thompson (3-0) {2-0} versus Adonis "Superman" Stevenson (3-2) {1-2}
Thompson keeps winning and moving up the ranks. A win in this fight and it could set him up with a top five fighter and get him a little closer to a title fight. He knocked out his first two opponents but his last fight went the distance. He proved that he has the conditioning to go into the deep rounds but now he is going to need to prove his submission defense. Stevenson got off to a great start in his career but taking the step up in completion did not seem to be the right course of action for the purple belt. He did get his first WFL win in his last fight and he will want to continue that. If he can get the fight to the ground he will have a real shot of winning. I don’t think that will be the case as I have Thompson picked to win by TKO in the second round.
Main Card Bout Number 1- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
Mike "Down" Town (1-1) {1-1} versus Joshua "Savage" Swanson (4-3) {2-1}
These two are at the bottom of the division here in the WFL. If Town losses he can recover as this is only his third fight. If Swanson takes a loss he will end up at four and four and wins over fighters who no longer have a job. A loss for Swanson could derail his career one maybe two years. Both of these fighters are brown belts in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Town is a much better wrestler while Swanson has a little but to offer in the striking department. If the fight stays standing for a while I think Savage wins with a knockout, but on the ground I got Town by decision. Since Swanson loves the ground game and Town is such a good wrestler I have to go with Town winning by decision 30-27.
Main Card Bout Number 2- Lightweight Fight (155lbs)
Holy Diver (9-13) {1-0} versus Risto Haeyhae (2-1) {1-1}
Diver came to WFL to get his career back on track and so far so good. He defeated Yodthanong Photirat back at WFL 6 when Yodthanong Photirat tapped out do to strikes. Diver is more of a ground fighter but he can stand up and strike when he has to. Haeyhae is also a ground fighter but he is nowhere as refined as Diver. Risto also has no striking so basically this fight will be a one sided affair. I see no chance of Risto being able to pull off a victory but my prediction is this fight will not happen. I heard Diver has been on weight gain and he will not make weight. Now that is a rumor I heard so if it is not true I got Diver winning by submission in the first round.
Main Card Bout Number 3- Heavyweight Fight (265lbs)
Kakashi "Gaiden" Hatake (13-12) {0-1} versus Valera "The Soldier" Kamenskiy (7-15) {0-0}
Hatake really needs this win. He is the number four heavyweight in the WFL and a win could put him next in line for a title shot. Hatake focused on getting Rogers to the ground in his WFL debut, but Rogers denied him and then knocked him out. If Rogers wins Hatake could be two wins away from the title shot, but if Kamala Naamahaara retains I think this win gives Hatake the shot. Valera came to WFL to get his career straitened back out. He has lost seven of his last eight fights and if he keeps losing the thirty two year old may be looking at retirement. I don’t know what kind of game plan he will have coming into this fight because Hatake is better than him in every aspect. I think Hatake wins by TKO in the first round.
Co Main Event Main Card Bout Number 4- Welterweight Fight (170lbs)
"The Triangler" Thunder Jackson (16-7-1) {0-0-0} versus Bobby Deckard (5-1) {2-1}
Jackson got off to an amazing start to his career. He started off eleven and two before things went downhill. He then went two five and one over the next eight fights. The Triangler made a nice turn around as he has won three straight fights. He is currently third in the division and the winner of this fight should be looking at the next title shot at welterweight. Deckard is five and one with four wins by submission. A wrestler by trade but he has been working on his Jiu Jitsu and it really shows in his record. Jackson is a better striker and much better at Jiu Jitsu so he will want to keep this fight standing, but he should be alright if it goes to the ground. Deckard is the far superior wrestler and if he can get the fight to the ground he will want to improve to side control and not move. He will need to work just enough to not get the stand up. I think Jackson will win this by decision and I will give him all three rounds 30-27.
Main Event Main Card Bout Number 5- Heavyweight Title Fight (265lbs)
"Apu" Kamala Naamahaara (11-5) {2-0} versus "Iron Fist" Jason Rogers (11-10) {1-0}
When I look at the break down of this fight there is one stat that just jumps right off the page. Apu was eleven wins all by TKO and Rogers has ten losses all by TKO. A rock solid kick against a glass jaw seams really bad for somebody. Rogers is a well-rounded fighter but I think Apu is better than him at almost all aspects of the fight. If Rogers wants to get a win his best bet and I can’t believe I am saying this but it is to clinch and stall. Hope Apu gets angry and takes the fight to the ground where he can try to submit from the bottom. I think Naamahaara will get the knockout win in this one, and I would bet its by head kick in the first round.
That will wrap up this event, please be sure to stop by the Smack Talk Thread and read it in style. I will see you all Tomorrow at the fight, thanks for reading.
