 Alpha-1 Promotions: Unbreakable
Author: Jimmy Normal
Alpha-1 fighters showed up in Los Angeles on Saturday to prove who is Unbreakable! It turns out that not everybody is as we saw 6 finishes on this card. 89,274 fans packed the Memorial Colossuseum and were brought to a frenzy and were treated to a wild night of fights! Let’s get to the action!
PRELIMS - 265lb CONTEST: Cedric De Boise vs Fernand Duif
This is going to be a tough one to write about because I was hoping for a quality striking battle between these two given their records. Duif played it smart however and refused to get into many striking exchanges at range, instead utilizing clinch warfare to his advantage. Possibly a smart move considering De Boise had him bleeding inside the first minute of the fight. In any event, you can’t take anything away from the Fernand Duif for recognizing - and avoiding - a dangerous situation and Cedric De Boise will, no doubt, be back.
WINNER: Fernand Duif (UD)
PRELIMS - 135lb CONTEST: Lewis Burwell Puller vs Tom Thomas
Well this one was decisive; Puller considers himself a big fish and pumps the brakes on Tom Thomas’ aspirations of fighting the top tier at the moment. Huge 1st round finish for Puller tonight and this has to have the top 5 taking notice and has no doubt earned him plenty more fans in the process..
WINNER: Lewis Burwell Puller t(KO)
185lb CHAMPIONSHIP CO-MAIN EVENT: Jack Lynn vs Yusuke Urameshi
I was all in on Jack Lynn for this one and boy was I wrong. I offer my sincere apologies to Yusuke Urameshi for my prediction on this one. This was an unbelievable scrap that could have easily taken the FOTN award. Jack Lynn came out doing what Jack Lynn does; looks for the finish. Lynn had Urameshi in all sorts of trouble early on, taking him down, working for the submission, rocking and cutting him all in the 1st round. Urameshi kept his composure, managed to escape back to his feet and get himself back into this contest. Another takedown by Lynn in the 3rd round was answered with a quick escape and then the tables fully turned. Urameshi steps up his production and puts Jack Lynn away in the 3rd and final round. I’m going to be a bit more careful in my predictions from now on.
WINNER: Yusuke Urameshi (t(KO)
Jimmy’s Prediction: Lynn by Submission (0-1)
185lb CONTEST MAIN EVENT: Jarna Kuiva vs Michel Colucci
Michel Colucci makes a statement in this one, and Jarna Kuiva hits a brick wall. Colucci shows he should still be in every discussion as it pertains to the title picture, with a bounce back submission win after his loss to Yes Man Sanchez. As predicted, Colucci pulled off a slick armbar finish here and kept Kuiva playing defense for the entire fight.
WINNER: Michel Colucci (Sub)
Jimmy’s Prediction: Colucci by Submission (1-1)
Honourable mention goes out tonight for Lightweight Champion Domenico Mazziotti, who was curiously left out of the Main Event for his latest title defense. Nonetheless, Mazzioti showed up as the consummate professional and schools Sao Alela in under a minute to retain his shiny Alpha-1 belt in dominant fashion.
FOTN:DeSilva vs Granger
KOTN: Domenico Mazziotti
SOTN:John Lawrence
