COMBAT AT THE CAPITALE
June 1st,
2009
Monday June 1st, 2009 -
Former World Champion and
promoter Louis Neglia is at it
again with the latest
installment of New York City's
Premier kickboxing show - Combat
at the Capitale,
Friday night's show was non stop
action & another standing room
only crowd.
It is just a matter of time now
before we are all watching MMA
at a venue like this, but in the
mean time the MMA starved
Manhattanites are more then
happy to watch the fists fly and
the kicks land at the Landmark
Capitale.
Another huge 20 bout fight card
that did not end until well
after midnight, but no one was
complaining about that here you
actually get your moneys worth.
Highlights of the evening
included the one sided drubbing
handed out by Giancarlo
Vinciguerra against fellow
Brooklynite Eddie Fahey. Ed was
game but could not match the
offensive output that
Vinciguerra set. Vinciguerra
wins the battle for Brooklyn.
The knock out of the night has
to go to Yves Derisier out of
Dragon VMA, who put an end to
his match with Dean Middlebrook
via a roundhouse to th eface
that had Middlebrook out cold
before he hit the mat at the 40
second mark. of round 1.
TSMMA trooper Melissa Bopp also
had an impressive showing by
finishing off Cool hearts
competitor Casey Bohrman via TKO
at 2:20 of round 2.
Local NYC Muay Thai fixture
James "B52" Smith caulked up
another win on his ling resume
of fights but he was clearly the
better fighter tonight and seems
like he could have ended this
bout anytime he wanted to. The
bout was called at 36 seconds of
round 2 via TKO as his opponent
Mike "Fighting Irish" Ryan could
not continue due to
mummification.
The main event lived up to
everyone's expectations and was
the fight of the night with
exciting action throughout.
Justin Greskiewicz wins via
unanimous decision.
During Intermission Lou neglia
presented Referee Fred
Fitzgerald with a Lifetime
Achievement Award after he
refereed his 2000th bout. Fred
has refereed in six countries
and is one of the top Muay Thai
referees in the world.

ROC XX Fight-by-Fight Write Up
and Photos!
Submitted by:Arias Garcia Jr.
Posted
on : 6/28/2008
Atlantic City, NJ—Even
though the event was missing one of
its biggest fights, Lou
Neglia’s Ring of Combat XX
still brought plenty of excitement
to the Jersey Shore. The
event was highlighted by another
impressive performance from
Tom Gallicchio as he
successfully defended his
USKBA Welterweight Title
against Doug Gordon
with a rear naked choke
in the first round. In what appeared
to be a mismatch in the other title
bout, the undefeated Nick
Catone almost had a scare
when the grizzly veteran,
Eric Tavares slapped on an
armbar from the
bottom in their USKBA
Middleweight title bout. Catone
was resilient, avoided the
submission and TKO’d
Tavares near the
end of the first round. Here are the
official results and play-by-play
from Friday night’s
action:

ensues and Catone is unable to take
Tavares down after two feeble
attempts. Catone eats a left kick to
the face and catches it and takes
Tavares down. Tavares defends well
from the ground-and-pound and
secures and armbar. Catone slams him
a few times but Tavares holds onto
the armbar. Tavares eventually gives
it up and eats some leather in from
ground-and pound. Catone is able to
get the crucifix position on top and
traps both of Tavares’ arms. In this
position, Catone lands heavy blows
and the referee is forced to stop
the bout.
Catone def. Tavares by TKO –
4:25 rd. 1
USKBA Welterweight Title

Tom Gallicchio (Rhino
Fight Team) vs.

here, Gallicchio is able to land
heavy punches but Gordon gets out of
danger. Gallicchio almost gets side
control but then winds up taking
Gordon’s back and sinking the
hooks. Gallicchio secures the
rear-naked-choke and forces the
challenger to tap for another
impressive performance.

rear naked choke – 3:11 rd. 1
Costa Phillippou (Team

the bout just 22 seconds into the
first round.
Phillippou def. Andreocci by
KO – 0:22 rd. 1

vs. Brett
Kohan (Rhino Fight Team)
Round 1: These big
boys come out swinging and after
tasting each other’s leather, Kohan
goes for a takedown and ends up in a
clinch. They separate and both
appear to be comfortable on the
feet. Kohan lands a thunderous right
hand and drops Rivera on his
back. Kohan follows it up with some
vicious ground-and-pound knocking
Rivera and his mouthpiece completely
out. Doctors attend to Rivera and he
is finally helped to his feet after
a scary knockout.
Kohan def. Rivera by KO – 1:48
rd. 1
Scott
Harrington (Alex Wilkie)
vs. Ed
Fyvie (Ricardo Almeida/Spa
City BJJ)
Round 1: After
trading a few insignificant strikes,

the body. They clinch again with

followed by a knee. Fyvie then
pounces on Harrington and the fight
is stopped by the
referee. Harrington stands up and
has a nice size cut on the bridge of
his nose.

standing and lands a right hand and
subsequently takes Demuro down. In
guard, Demuro attempts a gogo plata
but it is quickly thwarted and the
fighters get back to their
feet. Another clinch ensues and the
referee separates them. Nabih starts
with some flashy kicks and punches
as Demuro seems uncomfortable in the
stand up game. It appears that
during this exchange, Demuro lost
his mouthpiece. During the break
between second and third round,
Demuro doesn’t answer the bell to an
apparent knee injury.
Nabih def. Demuro by TKO – 4:00
rd. 2

reversed to the bottom. Meals
attempts an armbar from the bottom

time Meals is more active but
Shelton is able to avoid any

another takedown but Shelton is able
to gain the top position again. From
here, Shelton lands some
ground-and-pound and lets Meals
stand up. Shelton lands another huge
right that puts Meals back on the

round.

striking from round two but Meals is
able to avoid any damage and gets
the takedown. Shelton tries for a
guillotine from the bottom but is
unsuccessful. Shelton is able to tie

but Shelton punishes him with shots
to the body and head. Meals tries

initially stuns Salgado with a left
hand and then finishes with an

flying. The referee halts the bout

but Goian is delivering some heavy
body shots. Camacho then reverses
and lands on top in Goian’s guard. A
stall in the action forces another
stand-up. Camacho attempts another
single leg but Goian defends
well. They both stand up and after a
brief exchange of strikes, Camacho
gets the takedown with 45 seconds
left in the round. However, Camacho
is unable to land any serious damage
on top and the round ends.
Round
3: Both fighters appear to
be tired but Camacho comes out and
gets another takedown. Goian defends
well in his guard an attempts a
guillotine choke from the
bottom. Although Camacho gets out,
he is unable to land any ground and
pound or improve position. The
referee forces another
stand-up. Camacho goes right in for
the takedown but Goian sprawls and
attempts a guillotine. Goian
attempts to take the back but
Camacho escapes and the fighters end
up in Camacho’s guard. The third
round ends with both fighters
extremely exhausted.
Goian def. Camacho by split
dec. after three rounds (29-28,
28-29, 29-28)
Jay Silva (Team Rampage
Jackson) vs.
Mark DaPolito
(Pitt’s Penn)
Round
1: After Silva tried a
flying knee, DaPolito grabbed him in
mid air and slammed him to the
mat. From there, DaPolito was unable
to do any significant damage from
Silva’s guard. When DaPolito
attempted to gain side control, he
was reversed and Silva landed on top
and gained full mount. DaPolito
turned to give his back and Silva
sunk the hooks in. However, he
wasn’t able to secure the rear naked
choke and DaPolito was able to get
the fight back to the feet. After a
clinch, DaPolito was able to take
Silva down and the round ended with
DaPolito on top.
Round 2:
A left-right
combination stunned DaPolito but he
was able to clinch quickly. Silva
was then able to secure a takedown
and gained DaPolito’s back. Same
result as round one as DaPolito was
able to escape and get on top. Silva
defended well in the guard and
doesn’t receive any damage. Silva
eventually escapes and gets on top
and passes to side control. DaPolito
gives his back up again and this
time, there was no escape from the
rear-naked-choke.
Silva def. DaPolito by rear
naked choke 3:47 rd. 2 |

RING OF COMBAT 19
May 9th, 2008
|
Ring of Combat 19 - Adds Fuel to
the MMA Fire!!!
Friday May 9th, 2008
:: World Champion Louis Neglia knows
what it takes to put on a good show
- action, action & more action. ROC
19 served it up by the fistful!
The Ring of Combat is officially the
"Big show" on the east coast now
with the HDnet broadcasting deal and
every hungry local fighter looking
for national recognition. Mr. Neglia
brought in a new wave of hungry
local talent to fight some the local
established studs and it was a
recipe for a hot plate of beatdowns.
The first match of the evening
pitted BJJ stud Ed Fyvie in his
return to action against Atlantic
City MMA fighter Anthony Morrison.
Morrison was aggressive in his
ground and pound as Fyvie attempted
to submit him from the bottom.
Morrison was winning the striking
game but eventually fell in to a
triangle choke that forced the
tapout at 3:47 of R1. A triumphant
return for the Ed Fyvie.
The second match had two Jersey
Shore tough guys facing off with
Bill Scott representing BJJ Shore
Academy/Ricardo Almedia against
Atlantic City MMA fighter Joe
Diamond. This was a very technical
grappling match that could have been
a NAGA championship by its intense
grappling. Bill Scott appeared to
have a slight advantage via take
down and submission attempts after
R1. We start R2 the same way R1 went
with an immediate clinch and a
cooperative take down by Scott.
Diamond was nullified by Scott's
high Guard and then sunk in an
armbar from the bottom to force the
tapout at 1:54 of R2.
"Crazy" Chris Schlesinger looked to
get back in to the win column after
a year plus of down time. He
rededicated himself with team Soca
BJJ & Bellmore kickboxing and
stepped up to face Izuma Te Ryu
fighter Anthony Vetro. Vetro nails
Schlesinger with three hard left
hooks that do not faze Schlesinger
who then clinches with Vetro.
Schlesinger managed to get Vetros'
back late in R1 but Vetro somehow
powered out of the full mount and
was able to escape and defend a late
armbar attempt by Schlesinger. R2
begins with Sclesinger taking Vetro
down and immediately securing his
back he finished the match via Rear
naked choke at :47 of R2.
Serra/Longo warrior Anthony LaDonna
also looked to get back in to the
winners' circle as he faced off
against Rhino heavy hitter Mike
Medrano. Medrano threw heavy leather
with bad intentions then shot in on
LaDonna and took him down. The
ground and pound began as Medrano
laid in repeated blows from LaDonna'
guard. A massive mouse appears over
the left eye of Medrano although
Ladonna took the worse of R1 it is
Medrano who shows the damage.
Medrano nails LaDonna with a big
right hand as R2 begins and then
shoots in and secures another
takedown. More Ground and pound from
Medrano, they stand up and LaDonna
nails Medrano with a vicious flush
overhand right which connects with
the swollen left eye and wobbles
Medrano momentarily but then WHAM!
Medrano counters with a vicious
right hook that knocks out LaDonna
out on the spot for the KO victory
1:22 of R2. What a war, this is what
MMA fans live for the thrill of the
battle - hats off to both men.
The Alexis Aquino V. David Branch
match up looked like a bad match up
when considering experience. Branch
is a new comer to the Pro MMA set
but is no newbie to the sport,
training out of Team Insight in
Brooklyn and learning his BJJ
through the Renzo Gracie family
makes Mr. Branch one of the best
prepared newbie's around. The Rhino
Fight Teams' Alexis Aquino is not
one to back down even when punished
he keeps on coming forward. This
match promised to be a slug fest and
delivered but it was Branch who
seemed sharper in the striking
exchange early on. The two men
clinch after feeling each others
strikes. Branch continued to deliver
knees from the clinch which set up a
takedown which led to a full mount
and a TKO finish at 3:29 of R1 due
to unanswered strikes from the
mount. A major upset from Team
Insight - straight from Brooklyn
where the Warriors dwell.
Reality Fighting veteran Dom Stanco
has jumped ship and is now in the
treacherous ROC waters. Waiting on
the Jersey Shore for his arrival is
Mark Berracol out of the BJJ Shore
Academy/Ricardo Almedia. Stanco and
Berracol put on a very technical
grappling battle and had Berracol in
trouble numerous times but to
Berracols' credit he managed to
escape until he was finally finished
by Stanco at 3:57 of R2 due to
unanswered strikes.
The Eighth match of the evening
featured fast rising Doug Gordon out
of the Elite BJJ/Team Rush camp who
faced new comer Levon Maynard
representing Global Martial Arts
Academy. Gordon quickly charged in
and secured the takedown where he
delivered strikes until the Ref
stood them up. Maynard seemed to be
getting comfortable delivering kicks
to Gordons legs until Gordon decided
he had had enough and charged in
with his heavy hands to finish the
bout with a huge uppercut at 2:15 R1
for the TKO Finish. Keep your eyes
on Gordon he is a star on the rise.
Undefeated Light heavyweight rising
stud Ricardo Romero faced
Constantinos Phillippou representing
Team Serra/Longo. It is obvious that
Mr. Phillippou is looking to make a
name for him self in a hurry by
facing Mr. Romero this early in his
MMA career - baptizism by Fire.
Costas looked sharp in the striking
exchange and defended Romeros takes
downs well after being slammed hard
by Romero early on. Coach Ray Longo
did his homework and prepared their
fighter well as he won the first
round with his sharp striking and
take down defense. Round two begins
with a quick exchange then Costas
nails Romero with a hard right hand
that rocks Romero but his wrestling
instinct led him to secure a
takedown and side control where
Romero did nothing but smother
Costas until he recovered. Romero
then secures north south position
and begins nailing Costas with
strikes. Costas turns and Romero
attempts an armbar, then a
Guillotine; then are restarted to
end a very methodical R2 slight edge
to Romero for his control. R3 starts
and both men look exhausted who has
more in the gas tank??
Romero again secures the takedown
and side mount on Costas and
continues to deliver G & P. They
stand up and again Romero secures
the takedown and continues the
Ground and pound assault until the
bell rings. I score R3 for Romero
and the referees agree but Costas
should be proud of his performance
as he faced a very tough opponent
and belonged in the ring with him
despite the split decision loss.
The main event of the evening
featured Nick Catone also
representing BJJ Shore
Academy/Almedia facing Mitch
Whitesel from the Wreck Room for the
USKBA Middleweight title. Catone and
Whitesel exchanged strikes and then
engaged in a cliching battle until
Catone turned up the heat and laid
in to Whitesel with a barrage of
blows that forced the ref stoppage
at 2:27 R1 to secure the USKBA
Middleweight title!!

Ring of Combat 17
Atlantic City, NJ
|
Ring of Combat 17 - Rocks the Tropicana/By
Eric Joza-November 30, 2007
Atlantic City, New Jersey - Promoter Louis Neglia
continues to set the standard for MMA here on the east coast.
Having inked a deal with Mark Cuban's HDNet Fights for national
broadcasting a few months ago, Mr. Neglia put together one of
the best fight cards in recent memory for the latest installment
of the Ring of Combat.
No
"spectacle" fights here just the cream of the crop of the local
talent pool - Team Ricardo Almeida, Team Renzo Gracie, Rhino
Fight Team, Team Serra Longo were all represented tonight . The
card included the finals of the "Beasts of the Northeast"
tournament. This alone was enough to sell out the Tropicana but
like a late night infomercial....wait there was more!
Two
Super Fights with Chris Ligouri taking on Jim Miller for local
top dog bragging rights and Gregor Gracie facing New York
Bombsquad's Eric Henry.
The
first preliminary was a fast paced struggle which set the tone
for the evening as new comer Tim Troxell dominated Tiger
Schulman fighter Vasilica Goian. Troxell sunk in a tight choke
early in the first round but the TSMMA fighter showed heart in
battling his way out but was eventually out hustled by the
relentless Troxell.
The
second preliminary bout of the evening pitted Long Island
fighter Nabih against Joshua Keys; Nabih had a strong cheering
section. The crowd broke out into "Nabih" chants as the Serra
Longo rep made his way to the ring. Unfortunately Nabih was at
the wrong end of a left hook from Joshua Keys that simply caught
the Serra Longo Fighter flush. A real surprise since Nabih had
been controlling the action up until the KO finish.
Nick
Catone made quick work of his opponent Ben Knight after a quick
scramble and take down it only took Catone 1:08 in to the first
round finish off Knight via Ground and pound elbows. Catone
opened up a nasty gash on Knights forehead which forced the ref
stoppage.
Local
stand out Marc Stevens faced off with Rhino Fight Team bruiser
Alexis Aquino. Stevens clinched and laid several knees to
Aquinos face which caused a faucet of a bloody nose in round
one. Stevens was a step quicker to the punch and the blood was a
clear indication of his dominance in the round. Aquino seemed to
gather himself late in round one and finished the round with top
back control landing some hammer fists. Aquino stepped it up in
round two stuffing Stevens' takedown attempts and securing a
dominant top position, when it went back to the stand up Aquino
clearly had the striking advantage. He may have been the one
bleeding but it was Stevens who suffered the beating in the end.
Aquino reigned down blows on his "Turtled" opponent and forced
the TKO referee stoppage via unanswered strikes, another win for
the Rhino Brusier.
In
another barnburner Tiger Schulman workhorse Rich "The Puerto
Rican Pit-bull" Bione went to war with Team Rush grappler Doug
Gordon. Bione is not afraid to test himself and Gordon presented
the current obstacle. Gordon quickly secured half mount on Bione
and began delivering hammer fists from the half mount, the two
scrambled for position with Gordon again securing the mount from
the back this time. Gordon flattened out Bione with both hooks
and secured the Rear naked choke for the submission victory at
2:40 R1. A dominant performance by the Team Rush fighter Doug
Gordon, exposing his vulnerable ground game.
Local
BJJ stud Dan Miller faced off against John Howard in the 4th
match of the main card. Miller quickly secured the takedown and
half mount to reign down strikes on Howard. Howard stuffed
Miler's second take down attempt and turned the tide for the
second half of round 1. A real chess match with surprising BJJ
skills from Howard as he battled Miller to a stand still in
Round 2. Miller finally secured the takedown after a hard
clinching scramble and began to deliver “GNP” from the guard for
most of Round three. After 3 rounds the bout was awarded to Dan
Miller via unanimous decision.
IFL
veteran Dante Rivera who has been on a tear as of late was set
to face Fernando Rivera until Fernando broke his foot while
warming up. Scratch match number 5 due to foot injury.
The
tournament finals were also well matched but one match really
stood out by pitting two of the most active and well regarded
fighters in these parts against one another - Team Ironhorse MMA
warrior Mike Massenzio v. Boneyard MMA fighter Lance Everson.
These two guys have been climbing the local fight ladder for
years it was only a matter of time before their paths
intersected. The two middleweights clinched and kneed each other
for the first minute with Massenzio securing the head and arm
clinch to control the position but Everson freed himself and
once again secured the underhooks for his clinching striking
game. Massenzio caught Everson with a sharp right hand that set
up a take down then secured the Guillotine choke in the guard
for the submission win at 4:04 of the first round. Massenzio
secures the middleweight tournament championship!
The
main event "Superfights" pitted two of the east coast best
lightweights against one another with the hope of the winner
reaching the UFC. Both of the Miller brothers are feared
opponents these days, Jim Miller came in to the match with an
8-1 record, the one loss coming at the hands of Ligouri's Rhino
teammate & training partner Frankie Edgar.
Ligouri's record is a bit deceiving at 7-5 one might assume that
Miller was going to waltz through him. A closer look reveals a
5-1 mark in his last 6 fights but it has been over a year since
Ligouri annihilated Dorian Price in under 2 minutes. Would there
be Ring Rust in his game? Would Miller submit Ligouri as he has
in all of his recent victories?
Ligouri came out looking svelt at 155lbs, two of the top dogs in
these parts did not disappoint. Miller secured the takedown
quickly and sunk in a tight armbar that almost finished the
fight but Ligouri scrambled free. Miller pressed the action and
had Ligouri defending half mount strikes, a kimura attempt, a
side arm attempt. Miller wanted no part of Ligouri’s stand up
and quickly took the Rhino fighter down and continued the
aggressive ground attack. The second round began with another
take down by Miller, Ligouri did a better job of defending the
submission attempts from Miller's guard and landed repeated
blows from the guard for most of round two. At some point Miller
opened up a nasty cut over Ligouri's right eye but his ground
and pound was relentless.
I
score this match even after two rounds as Miller won the first
round and Ligouri secured the second round. But the doctor would
not allow the fight to continue for the deciding third round due
to the cut. Miller was declared the winner via TKO Referee
stoppage due to a cut.
The
other Main Event pitted Gregor Gracie - the next generation of
the Gracie dynasty against the hard hitting Bombsquad trooper
Erik Henry. Gracie just earned his first MMA win this past June
with a submission win over Josh Lydell. Henry had been on a bit
of a winning streak until he lost a majority decision to Doug
Gordon at ROC 16. Gracie showed a confidence that only comes
with the Gracie family legacy. He quickly took Henry down and
passed to side control where he methodically maneuvered himself
in to an arm bar position but Henry stood up and tried to keep
the fight standing where he was more dominant. Gracie again
clinched and traded punches with Henry in order to set up the
take down. An accidental low blow by Henry gave Gracie a
breather from the clinching strikes of Henry. Gracie ended the
round with another takedown, score round one for Gracie.
Round
two began with a good striking exchange from both fighters but
Gracie quickly secured another takedown and sunk in a keylock
from side control and forced the submission victory as Henry
tapped out at 1:56 of R2.

Ring of Combat 16:
“Beasts of the Northeast” Tournament Semi-Finals
By Jim Genia
(October 26th, Tropicana Casino & Resort, Atlantic City) Sometimes you
can predict them, sometimes you can’t. At Lou Neglia’s Ring of Combat
16: “Beasts of the Northeast” tournament semi-finals, the warriors who
survived September’s opening round clashed to decide who goes on to the
finals. Who came out on top? Well, if you thought the last middleweight
tournament winner was going to make it, you were wrong. And if you
thought the wrestler with just one pro fight under his belt was going to
crumble against the far more experienced veteran, again, you were wrong.
It was a night that had knockouts, submissions and wars – and while some
of the outcomes were predictable, there were definitely a few upsets.
Highlights of the event included:
|
|
|
Velasquez pummeling
Ladonna
|
• The back-and-forth battle between Tom Velasquez and Anthony LaDonna,
which saw the Team Endgame representative dominate Round One and the
Team Serra/Longo representative dominate Round Two. But Velasquez
snagged a lightning-fast heelhook in the final round, and that was all
she wrote.
• Relative newcomer Mark Berraciol’s crushing right hook, which had
the veteran Andrew Calandrelli dazed and confused at 0:35 of the first
round.
• Rising star Mike Massenzio and his growing repertoire of
submissions. This time it was a north-south choke, and opponent Erik
Charles had no choice but to tap at 1:18 of the first.

Capitale
NYC

A night of Knockouts!/By Eric
Joza -October 15, 2007
Friday Night October 12th, 2007 - Louis Neglia's
Combat at the Capitale continues the streak of sell out events with
another massive 18 bout fight card.
New York City is starving for real combat sports and Mr. Neglia has
been cooking up his special brand of pugilism to satisfy the New
York audiences for years. Like a vintage wine the shows are getting
better and better with time, don’t take my word for it come and
check out the spectacle for yourself (if you can get tickets they
sell out quickly!).
This is one of the best MMA shows on the East Coast and many of the
local fighters sharpen their striking skills at the Capitale in
Chinatown. It was a who's who of local talent representing some of
the best gyms in the area; Longo Competition Team, TSMMA, Bellmore
Kickboxing, Wat Gym, Neglia Competition team to name a few.
If MMA ever gets sanctioned here in New York Mr. Neglia will be
ready to feed the hungry masses by the fistful.
Highlights of the evening
-
The Devastating KO of Zadie Morris at the hands of James "B-52"
Smith it took little over a minute for Smith to connect and leave
Morris looking at the pretty lights!!!
-
The one sided drubbing Brent Appiarius delivered to a game Jonathan
Kudman. Kudman showed tons of heart but could not keep up with the
more experienced Appiarius and his relentless pace.
-
TSMMA's Melissa Bopp who "Bopped" Eternal M.A. fighter Danielle
Farula and forced the TKO ref stoppage with her non-stop assault.
-
Andrea DeAngelo’s assault of Nikki Domer which forced the Ref
stoppage over a tough Nikki Domer.
-
Devon Cormack’s schooling of Matt Lyall, Cormack just tooled Lyall
with his laid back demeanor. Nothing makes up for experience.

 "Capitale"
Punishment/By EricJoza
Friday June 29th,
2007 - Chinatown, NYC- World Champion Louis Neglia presents the
latest installment of New York City’s Premier Kickboxing Series -
Combat at the Capitale.
Boine after his victory
As is the norm for
this venue it was again a sell out crowd in attendance to watch the
fists fly & the kicks connect. The main event featured local TSMMA
fighter Rich "The Puerto Rican Pit-bull" Bione, as he looked to
continue his winning streak against Pakistan Eagle fighter Yaser
Sauket. Yaser landed a low blow early in the match which fired up
the TSMMA fighter and led to the first round TKO for Boine who
hasn't lost a fight in several months.
Bellmore
Kickboxing student Seth Tiringer provided the highlight of the night
with his vicious Roundhouse KO of Scott Conlon. If you blinked you
might of missed the lightning quick kick to the head.
The co-main event
rematch between Uriah Hall & James "B-52" Smith was strong enough
for the loyal Capitale crowd to be the sole main event as these two
waged war in their first match up with Smith winning the decision.
This time the table was turned as Hall dictated the pace of the
match and pulled out the unanimous decision victory over Smith. I
assume that a rubber match is now in order since each fighter now
holds a victory over the other.
Neglia Competition
Team student Brent Appiarus made quick work of Dragon Martial Arts
fighter Ed Fahey. Appiarus simply out punched his opponent to the
point that the referee would not allow the match to continue after
the first round.
Neglia Competition Team student s Andrea D'Angelo won via unanimous
decision over Monica Bermudez.

Ring of Combat 14 - Tournament of Champions Finals -Three New
Champions Crowned
April
27, 2007, Atlantic City-New Jersey-World
Champion Promoter Louis Neglia's Ring of Combat Tournament Finals
provided another night of excitement for the thousands of fans in
attendance at the sold out Tropicana Resort and Casino. The Ring of
Combat series has provided some of the best MMA on the east coast
and tonight was no exception.
24 Fighters from
all over the country made their way to the Tropicana Hotel & Casino
in Atlantic City to compete in the tournament but there can be only
one winner in each weight class and tonight we got down to the
nitty-gritty. The 6 finalists did not hold anything back, we had
knock-outs, we had submissions and at the end of the night the three
winners of the tournament went home with championship belts & their
pockets a lot heavier with their share of the $100,000.00 dollar
purse.
The tournament
finalists were as follows:
Lightweight Division
Team Quests Ian
"The Barn Owl" Loveland emerged from one end of the bracket to face
Marylands Renzo Gracie/Team Ground Control fighter James
"Binky" Jones.
 On
Paper is seemed that Loveland would have his way with Jones due to
his experience and quality of opponents, But Jones was not to be
denied this evening. The Jiu-Jistu Fighter got the fight to the
ground and endured some of Loveland's ground and pound while
stringing together submission attempts and eventually locked up
Loveland's arms in a deep arm-bar for the submission victory.
James "Binky"
Jones is the new Ring of Combat Light Weight Champion!!!
 Welterweight
Division
Texas native Todd
"The maniac" Moore has run through his opponents and was set to face
undefeated New York native Phillipe Nover representing Team Insight.
Unfortunately Mr. Nover suffered a shoulder injury while training
and could not face Moore in the finals, so his semi-finals opponent
Jay "Deisel" Coleman gets the spot in the Finals. This was an
interesting match up on paper as both fighters are at the upper
echelon of the weight class, Moore did not give the Rhino fighter a
chance to display his abilities as he shot in on Coleman and forced
the referee stoppage via unanswered strikes from the guard to secure
the Ring of Combat Welterweight Championship in 52 seconds of the
first round.
Todd "The Maniac"
Moore is the New Ring of Combat Welterweight Champion!!!
Middleweight Division
Marc Stevens has
been on a bit of a tear of late winning his last 3 fights; his
opponent Jason House showed tons of heart in the semi-finals match
against Rhino Fighter & Marco Ruas Black belt Erick Tavares. Tavares
was beating the hell out of House until his corner changed their
game plan in the second round and chopped Tavares down with Thai
kicks for the TKO ref stoppage and advancement. So we know there is
no quit in House, this match up was very intriguing as these two
guys almost mirror each other in their aggressiveness. This was the
most exciting fight of the night as both men traded punches, kicks
and takedowns for the full three round. Stevens was the aggressor
and controlled the pace of the match and it resulted in a unanimous
decision victory for Marc Stevens.
Marc Stevens is
the new Ring of Combat Middleweight Champion!!!

Ring of Combat XII
Tournament of Champions - Round I
/By Eric Joza
|
Ring of Combat 12-Tournament of Champions - Round I/By
Eric Joza
Friday November
17th, 2006 - Atlantic City, New Jersey- Promoter Louis Neglia's 12th
installment of the highly successful Ring of Combat series is a bit of a
throwback to the early days of MMA when the elimination tournament was the hot
ticket in town.
The Ring of
Combat assembled an impressive group of up and comers who are looking to claim
their spots among the best of the best. With three weight classes and 4 fights
per division in the first round of action it promised to be one hell of a show.
The great crowd at the Tropicana was not disappointed tonight as the young studs
let their fists & submissions do the talking. Winners will advance to the 2nd
round (March 16th 2007) to determine the finalists for the third and final round
(April 27, 2007) and be crowned tournament Champions in each weight division a
la Pride Grand Prix style.
We had some of
the best teams in the country competing for tonight for advancement to the
championship round. Team Quest, Team Serra Longo, Rhino Fight Team, and Team TSK
to name a few. This was an action packed card that kept the crowd cheering
through out the evening.
The Brawl of
the night had to go to Landon "The Show" Showalter & Don "The Hammer" Wagner.
Showalter was the sharper more experienced fighter but Wagner should change his
nickname to "Heart" because he showed tons of it while taking the worst of the
striking exchange. Wagner would not take a step back he kept coming and almost
stole the second round with a flurry of hooks and uppercuts. But it was too
little too late as the judges ruled the unanimous decision for the "Show".
The match
between TSK fighter Rich Bione & Rhino's Kevin Roddy kept the crowd on the edge
of their seats. Bione was the superior striker as he nailed Roddy at will while
the fight remained standing. The ground though was Roddy?s turf as he nearly
submitted Bione with an arm bar late in the first round and dominated Bione on
the ground in the second round as well. The bout was ruled a draw and another
round was ordered up; Bione wanted no part of Roddy's ground game and landed a
hard right hand that knock Roddy down and resulted in the TKO referee stoppage
at :30 seconds of R3 for the TSK fighter.
The submission
of the night has to go to Team Serra Longo soldier Joey Scarola with the slick
arm bar finish of Will Kerr after escaping a tight guillotine choke in the first
minute of action. Scarola is a guy to watch out for, as he is solid all around
but lethal on the ground.
The Knock out
of the night goes to the Rhino Fight Team's Jay "Diesel" Coleman as he silenced
the entire arena with the devastating knock out of Team TSK's Dominic
Dellagatta. There was no love loss between these two camps as these two fight
teams have been warring since the late 1990?s for Tri-State bragging rights.
Like the Hatfields and McCoys; Team TSK & Team Rhino share common ground and
there seems to be some border issues that need to be resolved. I am sure this is
not the last time these two teams will face each other.
Keep your eyes
on Team Renzo rep Colin O'Rourke as he dominated Yon Guenechea & begins
his rise in the ranks.
Team Quest
fighter Mike Dolce & Wreck Room's Mitch Whitesel had a very competitive match
that resulted in a unanimous decision victory for Dolce.

Ring of Combat XI lived up to its reputation
with an amazing night of action. The Tropicana played host to a
great night of MMA action with nine fights and not a single
decision. Every fight ended in a submission or a knockout with every
submission coming via rear naked choke.
The night featured two fantastic
championship matches, kicked off by defending ROC Champion Laura
D'Auguste's title defense against Megumi Yabushita of Japan. The two
had fought last year in Tokyo at Smack Girl with Laura winning a
split decision to take the World Championship. This time, she would
maintain her ROC Championship without any help from the judges.
The first round featured amazing action
standing and on the ground as both fighters displayed well-rounded
skill. D'Auguste featured her sharp punching throughout the round,
clearly outclassing Yabushita in the standup action. But the
Japanese Judo Champion was able to take down D'Auguste on a couple
of occasions. One was an impressive Judo throw, carrying D'Auguste
completely over her back. However, Laura showed her composure and
skill by securing herself around Yabushita's neck and attempting to
get a back mount before her opponent was able to scramble back to
her feet. One exchange saw D'Auguste land a jab-cross combination
countered by Yabushita's lightning fast spinning back fist. However,
the strike may have done more damage to the Japanese fighter as she
was forced to retire at the end of the first round with what
appeared to be a broken forearm. It was unclear if she broke the
forearm with the spinning back fist or during a late throw. Either
way, it was not the ending D'Auguste was looking for. "I wanted to
knock her out," said the mother of one and full-time nurse. It's
been hard for D'Auguste to find opponents and with an attitude like
that it's not surprising. "I want Tara Larosa next," says D'Auguste.
We look forward to that exciting matchup as both fighters have wins
over similar competition. Laura left the ring retaining her ROC
Welterweight Championship Title, undefeated MMA record and current
#1 world ranking.
Championship matchup number two featured
two Brazilians coming to Atlantic City to settle the score. On the
line was the Ring of Combat Men's Super Welterweight Championship.
Israel Gomes brought an undefeated 6-0 record into the match against
a less heralded Adriano "Nasal" De Lima Pereira. Gomes, out of the
Muay Thai Dream Team Camp looked to use his impressive Muay Thai
skill to complement his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background and finish
off Nasal. For the De Lima Pereira, Brazilian Top Team member, it
was the ground where he felt most comfortable. Nasal immediately
shot a beautiful double leg takedown and ended in Gomes' guard.
Gomes tried to use open guard to keep Nasal off but was unsuccessful
as the De Lima Pereira passed quickly to sidemount. Keeping tight
pressure, Nasal used short hammerfists to occupy Gomes and locked in
an L shoulder lock. Gomes tried to turn out of it but gave up his
back. Nasal, showing his own jiu-jitsu skill, was able to sink his
hooks and patiently broke Gomes down, securing a submission with a
rear naked choke. "I trained extremely hard for this fight," said De
Lima Pereira, "I think he took me a little lightly." We look forward
to seeing the first title defense from the exciting Brazilian. De
Lima Pereira left Atlantic City proud owner of the Ring of Combat
Men's Super Welterweight Championship.
Ring of Combat is gaining notoriety for
amazing under cards. An amazing 17 straight undercard fights have
ended in TKO or submission. ROC XI featured seven in a row. Included
were successful debuts for numerous fighters.
Up first was one of only two fights to
reach the second round, Team Tiger Schulmann newcomer Rich Boine
against Fight Factory first-timer Joe Bentz. Bentz entered the ring
first showing the nerves one might expect from a first time fighter,
while Boine, fresh off a June victory at Combat at the Capitale in
his kickboxing debut, came in with a determined look ripping off his
t-shirt in a clear attempt to intimidate Bentz.
Bentz looked to take the fight to ground quickly but Boine showed
solid takedown defense throughout the first round, ending up in
Bentz' guard on a couple of occasions with neither fighter landing
any successful strikes. Bentz' looked for submissions but could
never clear his hips and Boine was unable to land anything more than
glancing blows. As soon as the fighters were put back on their feet
by referee Dan Miragliata, it was clear Boine had a distinct hand
speed advantage. His punches were straight and explosive and Bentz
clearly wanted no part of it, continuously tying up and looking to
take things down to the ground. The first round ended with neither
fighter gaining a decided edge.
In round number two the younger Boine
clearly benefited from experienced coaching. Shihan Tiger Schulmann
and co-trainer Ron Schulmann urged Boine to stop maintaining his
sprawl and get back to his feet every time Bentz shot for a
takedown. The strategy worked as Boine was able to rock the Fight
Factory team member early. When Bentz ducked for a takedown, Boine
immediately sprawled then popped back to his feet at his corner's
urging. Only seconds later, he landed a thunderous barrage of
punches, backing Bentz to the ropes and forcing Dan Miragliata to
step in. Boine starts his career off with an impressive 2nd round
TKO. Ring of Combat fans can look forward to more explosive action
from Boine in the near future.
Fight number two featured two more
newcomers, Sean McCann of Team End Game and Scott Conlon of
Alternative Fitness. Conlon got off to a great start landing a clean
right hand to the chin of McCann. But it was not the end for him as
he showed a strong chin and after clearing the cobwebs quickly put
an end to Conlon's pro debut. McCann landed a series of short shots
to the head with Conlon eventually falling to the mat. McCann walked
away from his Ring of Combat debut with a great knockout victory.
The third fight of the night featured two
fighters looking to notch their first victory. Tenyeh Dixon of Team
Ground Control/Renzo Gracie started his career off with two straight
submission defeats. His opponent Stephane Cloud brought a 0-1 record
coming off a recent submission loss of his own. Both appeared
confident before the fight, expecting to reverse the trend, but only
one would walk away the winner. Both fighters come from a standup
background and they started the round off with a flurry as Dixon
threw a high kick and Cloud, an expert in Savate, countered back
with his hands. Dixon, true to his team's name, quickly took the
fight the ground. He did so in style with a great slam that put him
in Cloud's butterfly guard. Dixon showed improved ground ability
landing shots from the guard and quickly passing to side control.
Not worrying about submissions despite what appeared to be a
possible arm bar, Dixon settled for pounding out Cloud, again
forcing referee Dan Miragliata to stop the bout. Dixon was ecstatic
after the win, excited at taking the next steps in his career. "I
went in to my first fight not knowing (anything). My second fight I
thought I knew (something), but I didn't really know (anything).
I've been training a lot for this fight and I feel great," said an
obviously exuberant Dixon. Look out for Dixon to push his record
even at a future Ring of Combat event.
Two more fighters looking for redemption
entered the ring for the fourth fight of the night. Steve McCabe of
the Fight Factory scored an impressive win at Ring of Combat IX, but
then was stopped by Frank Edgar at ROC X. His opponent, Andrew
Montanez, brought a 2 - 5 record in his pro MMA fights. McCabe, who
says he was disrupted by the postponement of ROC XI, originally
scheduled in early July, came out looking like he would redeem
himself. McCabe completely controlled the Team Frank Shamrock
fighter demonstrating his superiority in every facet of MMA.
The second round started off much like the first with McCabe showing
control standing and on the ground, at one point forcing referee Dan
Miragliata to take a closer look at Montanez. It was a good thing
for the Long Islander that Miragliata decided to let the fight
continue, as midway through the round he was able to secure a quick
takedown and find McCabe's back. Securing his hooks quickly and
sinking a Rear Naked Choke, the fight came to a quick and stunning
conclusion. Montanez came one step closer to evening his record
while McCabe left the ring with a look of profound disappointment.
This was a fight he clearly was winning on the scorecards, but a
game Montanez was able to stage a fantastic comeback. We look
forward to seeing him fight again in a future Ring of Combat event.
Looking to build on teammate Rich Boine's
early success, Radji Bryson-Barrett entered the red corner
representing Team Tiger Schulmann. His opponent in the fifth match
of the evening would be Dave Rose of Eternal Martial Arts. Barrett
looked to keep the fight standing as he readily admits his
preference for kickboxing over grappling. It didn't seem like Rose
would disappoint, a self-proclaimed street fighter looking to hone
his craft in competition. Right from the bell, Barrett showed his
superior standup skills, landing clean strikes. What was surprising
was his slam of Rose. Finding himself with underhooks, Barrett took
advantage, lifting Rose completely off his feet and ending up in a
tight sidemount. Like Dixon earlier in the night, Barrett didn't
look for submissions, instead content to pound hammerfists the side
of Rose's head. Referee Dan Miragliata stepped in quickly to stop
the fight and raise the victorious hand of the Team Tiger Schulmann
fighter.
Tom Pursell of Team Propain faced a change
of opponent in the night's sixth bout. Being a late replacement
himself one week earlier, he was expecting to face tough Ring of
Combat veteran Garrett Carmody. Instead, it was Carmody's last
opponent Joe Thompson who stepped into the ring. Thompson was called
on Thursday night to replace Carmody, out with an injured knee.
Thompson made weight and after getting doctor's clearance looked to
bounce back from a loss in April. Pursell responded with a dominant
performance, igniting the crowd with a series of early haymakers and
dropping Thompson to the canvas where he dropped a series of
hammering punches to Thompson's head. The referee stepped in quickly
but not before Thompson was left sprawled on the canvas. The moment
clearly affected Pursell as he looked on to see if his opponent was
OK. To everyone's relief Thompson was able to regain his feet after
a couple minutes and walked out of the ring himself. Pursell's
impressive show of power will doubtlessly leave Ring of Combat fans
looking for his return.
The finale of the undercard brought crowd
favorite Phillipe Nover to the ring. Nover scored an impressive TKO
at Ring of Combat IX and looked to build on a 2-0-1 record. His
opponent was Dave Drago. Although new to the pro game, Drago has
been competing regularly and came with a 10-4 amateur MMA record.
The experience didn't faze Nover as he came out looking like he
would repeat his performance of last October. Stunning Drago on
their feet, Nover quickly found himself on the ground. Although
Drago was able to escape an early rear naked choke attempt by Nover,
he was worn down by the Phillipino's constant pressure and
eventually gave up his back a second time, succumbing to a rear
naked choke. Look for Nover to compete for an ROC belt soon!
Ring of Combat XI didn't last long, but
fans left excited at the outcome of all nine fights. 16 men entered
the ring and we saw three rear naked chokes and five impressive
TKO's. Eight men left with the adoration of their fans and the
thrill of victory, one Adriano "Nasal" De Lima Pereira leaving with
the Men's Super Welterweight Championship.
Congratulations to all the Ring of Combat
fighters, and we'll see you in October at Ring of Combat XII.

COMBAT AT THE CAPITALE RESULTS
 Friday June 23rd 2006- Chinatown, NYC-
It was a rainy night in New York City and the action was hot inside the Capitale
for the latest installment of Promoter Louis Neglia's "Combat at the Capitale".
It was another
standing room only Sell-Out crowd!
**Photo of New Champ Will Hamilton
1st Match, TSK's
Sophia Gegovic and Team Longo representative Christine Rosa stepped in to the
ring for the WKA women's featherweight title
 match. Gegovic and Rosa waged a war from the first
bell, both fighters traded blows relentlessly.
An unbelievable pace
that showed how much dedication to conditioning is required to compete at this
level. The match was very close but Rosa was able to press the action against
Gegovic to edge out the split decision victory over the very tough TSK fighter
and secure the WKA Womens' Featherweight title.

Christina Rosa
TSK's Uriah Hall
faced off against Weapon Swat team's Jim "B52" Smith in a heavy weight Muay Thai
match. These two big men went toe to toe for the entire match with Jim Smith
securing the unanimous decision victory. A very good match up.
 Andy & Hardip Singh put on quite a
battle for the WKA N.E. 120lb. Muay Thai championship. The two lightweight
fighters put on one of the most entertaining matches of the evening with their
high paced kickboxing clinic. Andy Singh was the "sharper" of the two and out
worked Hardip to capture the Championship via a unanimous decision after five
hard fought rounds.
**Photo of Singh vs Singh
The main event of the
evening pitted Steven Richards from the Extreme LaCosta team against another TSK
bruiser in Will Hamilton. Hamilton rocked Richards late in the first round,
which forced the doctor to check on Richards. The Doctor stopped the match in
between rounds to the disappointment of the Extreme corner and the crowd who
were very much in to this match as the two fighters battled intensely for the
first round.
A rematch is the best
way to appease the unhappy Extreme team and I am sure that Will Hamilton would
like nothing else but to let his blows finish the fight. Hamilton's win made it
a winning night for the TSK contingent who finished the evening with a 5-4
record against some very stiff competition.

 USKBA
ACTION SPORTS Promoter World Champion Louis Neglia
made his triumphant return to Atlantic City with "RING OF
COMBAT 10", a night of Championship Mixed Martial Arts
and Muay Thai Kickboxing all in one show. On April 14, 2006,
The sold out Tropicana Showroom in Atlantic City, New

Going into
this event, everyone knew the rematch between SHENNEN
MACEO
and RAMI IBRAHIM was going to be a war. This time, they
were getting into the ring to fight for the USKBA
Thaiboxing Super Lightweight World Championship Title.
And fight they did! Scheduled for five 3-minute rounds, this
bout went the distance. Although both fighters threw an
assortment of punches and kicks, it seemed that Ibrahim
concentrated on kicking with punches and Maceo concentrated
on punching with kicking. Don't get us wrong... both
fighters were effective with their assortment of punches and
kicks and this bout definitely showed some of the best
fighting that Thaiboxing has to offer. A review of the
judges' scorecards showed that the scoring was exactly the
same for every round and, therefore, for the final tally.
Round 1 went to Maceo 10-9 on all three judges' scorecards.
Round 2 went to Ibrahim 10-9 on all three judges'
scorecards. Round 3 went to Ibrahim 10-9 on all three
judges' scorecards. Round 4 went to Maceo 10-9 on all three
judges' scorecards. At the end of four rounds, this bout was
even. The fifth, and final, round went to Maceo by 10-9 on
all three judges' scorecards. This close bout was scored
48-47, 48-47, 48-47 in favor of the winner by unanimous
decision and USKBA Thaiboxing Super Lightweight World
Champion... Shennen Maceo. Congratulations to
both fighters for a true World Championship Title bout. The
fans loved it.

RING OF
COMBAT RESULTS
Drago Retains His Belt and TSK
Goes 4-0 at Ring of Combat 10
By Jim Genia
(April 14th, Atlantic City, New Jersey) Without a
doubt, it ended up being on of the best shows to hit New
Jersey in a while. At promoter Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat
10, there were knockouts, there were submissions, and there
were wars. But the common denominator that made the night
was that every man came to fight. And as the action unfolded
at the Showroom at the Tropicana, the capacity crowd
definitely made their presence known. Highlights of the
event included:
 |
|
Drago cracks Showalter |
- Team Rhino's Frank Edgar and his
dominant ground-and-pound performance against Steve McCabe, which ended with a
scramble, a guillotine and a tap out.
- Team Tiger Schulmann's Lyman
Good and his technical striking, as he nailed John Zecchino repeatedly with low
kicks and a right hand that would eventually send Zecchino through the ropes.
- Team Tiger Schulmann's Nissim
Levy's superior boxing and Ken Gibson's heart. Levy bloodied and punished the
hell out of Gibson - and Gibson just kept coming.
The full results:

Rhino-158lbs) vs. Steve McCabe (Fight Factory-168lbs)

RING OF
COMBAT RESULTS
New York City, New York- January 27, 2006-Another sell out
crowd filled the Capitale Friday night for the latest
installment of New York City's premier kick boxing show.
Promoter Louis Neglia put together a massive 17 bout fight
card this evening which produced plenty of action but also
felt like a marathon by bout 14 as the event went on well
past 1:00am.
The
competition was fierce through out the night as some of the
best local fight teams squared off this evening.
Team
TSK's Katlyn Chookagian upset defending women's WKA
Northeast Champion Andrea DeAngelo, the TSK fighter is now
the new WKA Northeast women's title holder.
Julio
Flores defended his regional 153lb title for the first time
against the very tough Frenchman Boris Vuiton. Vuiton's
stiff jab & reach created some difficulty for Flores but his
aggressive ring control & solid punching led him to
victory.
The
match between Team Extreme's Jarrell Miller & Weapon's 9's
Jim Smith appeared to be a mismatch based on physical
appearance. Smith was ripped, a true physical speciman;
while Miller appeared to be shedding quite a bit of weight
and was a bit on the flabby side. The Extreme Lacosta
fighter was not intimidated by his muscular opponent. The
two big men went to war for three rounds with "king kong
killer" Miller pulling out the split decision victory. Do
not judge a book by it's cover.
The
main event of the evening was a rematch between Team
Extreme's Terrence "Big T" Connor & former Champion Derrick
Riddick out of the Wat Gym. Riddick was not taking Connor
lightly this time as he came out swinging for the KO during
the first round and actually had Connor reeling at the end
of the first round. Lacosta settled his fighter down at the
end of the round and sent Connor out to defend his belt.
"Big T" did not disappoint, the remaining crowd was on the
edge of their seats as both men traded blows all over the
ring. It was Connor who landed the finishing strikes in the
second round and KO'D Riddick to retain his belt in dramatic
fashion.

ANOTHER PACKED HOUSE THRILLS TO ACTION ON "COMBAT AT THE
CAPITALE" IN NEW YORK CITY
USKBA ACTION SPORTS
Promoter World Champion Louis Neglia
had another packed house at his "COMBAT AT THE CAPITALE"
event on September 23, 2005 at The Capitale in New York
City. Four USKBA and Ring of Combat Championship Title

undercard of Amateur Full Contact Kickboxing and Thaiboxing
action and a Main Event that had two unbeaten professional
kickboxers going toe to toe with each other.
In the Main Event, scheduled
for four rounds of Professional Full Contact Kickboxing (165
lb limit), former USKBA Amateur Full Contact Kickboxing
Super Middleweight World Champion JAMES ONNIKIAN faced

Light Heavyweight World Champion ERIC PINARRETA. Both

everything they had in this fight. This bout went the
distance with Pinarreta winning the split decision.

THE FUTURE OF OUR SPORTS CAN BE SEEN IN "JUNIOR FIGHTERS"
EVENT
The first
"JUNIOR FIGHTERS" event was held in October 2004. On May 21,
2005,
USKBA ACTION SPORTS
Promoter World Champion Louis Neglia
(see photo at left)
held his second "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" event. This
time, the amateur Junior bouts in Thaiboxing and Full Contact  Kickboxing,
were held at the spacious New Brunswick Boxing Gym in New
Brunswick, New Jersey. By the success of the first two
"JUNIOR FIGHTERS"
events, there should be many more to come. In fact
Promoter Louis Neglia says "I want to do four of these events
each year" (in addition to his "RING OF COMBAT" and
"COMBAT AT THE CAPITALE" events). How does one measure
'success' when all the competitors are under the age of 18? The
answer is simple. By the look on the fighters' faces before and
after the event. Although some go home disappointed, their
training studios put the emphasis on gaining 'ring experience'.
Win, lose or draw, the experience that is gained by competing on
one of these events can never be simply taught in the classroom.
All competitors come away winners. These "JUNIOR FIGHTERS"
are not sitting on the sidelines...they are in the ring
gaining valuable experience. These "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" are
the future of the sport.
The time and
number of rounds of the bouts vary by the age of the
competitors. For the youngest competitors, a typical bout can be
2 one minute rounds not scored. It can then go up to 2 one and a
half minute rounds graduating to 3 two minute rounds that are
scored. It any event, the action is second to none. Competitors
on "JUNIOR FIGHTERS" events give their all and the
audience members are most enthusiastic.
The results are
as follows:
Thaiboxing
KATLYN
CHOOKAGIAN
(16 yrs old) def Andrea DeAngelo (17 yrs old) by split

d'AUGUSTE AND GABERT RETAIN TITLES ON "RING OF COMBAT 8"
To all the fans that braved the cold and windy atmosphere of
the old summer resort area of Asbury Park on New Jersey's shore,
the end justified the means. On March 19, 2005, they came to the
Asbury Park Convention Hall to see a top notch MMA event and

featured quality MMA bouts with displays of technique and power.
In the Main Event, scheduled for three 5
minute rounds, Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Welterweight Champion
LAURA d'AUGUSTE went against ROXANNE MODAFFERI. Modafferi was
coming off an impressive win. d'Auguste was coming off a
successful title defense. On paper, Modafferi seemed to be
d'Auguste's toughest opponent to date. This provided to be true
as this bout went the distance. At the end of three 5 minute
rounds, the unanimous decision went to Laura d'Auguste, who
retains her Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA Welterweight Championship
Title.
In the Featured Bout, scheduled for three 5 minute rounds,

squared off against DAVID PORTER. It had been some time since
Gabert's last title defense. Gabert is one of the toughest
fighters in his weight division. Porter, with an undefeated
amateur record, came into the fight confident that he could hang
with Gabert and possibly take the title from him. Gabert proved
to be too much for Porter. This bout was over at 3:25 of Round 1
as Gabert applied armbar and kept the pressure on forcing Porter
to tapout. Gabert retains his Ring of Combat/USKBA MMA
Cruiserweight Championship Title.

Two Bombardiers from Japan compete at the Capitale (A landmark
site in NYC)
A spectacular show in a spectacular place! The
honors belong to Louis Neglia, Promoter, and the Palatial
Capitale in New York City, site of Neglia's splendid February
11th kickboxing event. It was the perfect showcase for glory.
Action and space were an ideal fit. An architecht whose life was
featured in James Cagney's final film, Ragtime, built the
Capitale in the 19th century. Corinthian columns, venetian
glass, marble mosaic floors and sixty-five feet high ceilings
make it look like a grand gold temple styled in the best of
taste with a genuinely awesome atmosphere.
The 40,000 square foot Capitale was sold out and packed with
wildly enthusiastic fans who witnessed a night of the most
dramatic and skilled Kickboxing and Muay Thai imaginable. The
quality of the action was remarkebly consistent, considering
there were 14 battles, professional and amateur, of men and
women in many weight divisions.
Fighting enginuity and brave hearts were in evidence all
night. This is one of those rare instances of a claim that
sounds too good to be true being nonetheless valid.
Had an exit poll been taken of the fans leaving the Calitale
after the show, it would have reflected a uninanimous sense that
a finer display of athleticism and artistry in Martial Arts is
simply not available anywhere else. Some of the contests were
intensely anticipated for years. Two of Japan's most powerful
fighters made the ten thousand mile trip for what they knew was
the chance of a lifetime
These were the results of the WKA USKBA sanctioned event:

MMA and Full Contact Kickboxing action for the Standing Room
Only crowd.
 The
USKBA Full Contact Kickboxing Super Lightweight World
Championship Title was on the line with Champion TIM
“Bring The Pain” LANE defending his title against
ERIK "The Hurricane" MARSHALL. Lane truly lived up to
his nickname. This fight was action packed from start to
finish! Round One opened with a very short feeling out
process as these two fighters exchanged kicks and punches.
By the middle of the round, Marshall was landing more
punches and kicks. Shortly after, Lane turned up the heat
and landed some solid shots staggering Marshall. In Round
Two, Marshall was ready to wage war. The two exchanged
punches, but it was Lane that controlled the ring landing
relentless body shots. Round Three was more of the same,
these two warriors exchanged strong punches and kicks. In
Round Four, Lane landed some powerful kicks to the body
followed by more big punches. Lane trapped Marshal in the
corner and began to tear him with a barrage of body and head
shots dropping Marshall. Referee Jim Garguilo counted to ten
before Marshall was able to get up. The winner, and still

with an explosive bout between DEREK JOHNSON and
GREG KILLIAN

with his take downs. Killian was able to defend some with
solid punches, but Johnson was able to take him to the mat
several times. After some exchanges on the ground the
fighters were stood back up by the  referee.
The two exchanged punches. Killian connected with a big
right hand sending Johnson to the mat. As Killian followed
up, Johnson nearly fell out of the ring. The referee stopped
the match and restarted the fighters in the middle of the
ring. Johnson was able to regain his composure and weather
the storm. In Round Two, Johnson was able to take Killian to
the mat and throw some heavy punches from Killian’s half
guard. Round Three was just as exciting. At the opening of
the round, Johnson shot in for the double leg as Killian
quickly tried for the guillotine choke. When they hit the
ground, Killian switched to a Kimaura attempt, but Johnson
walked right out of it. Killian was however able to roll
Johnson and gain top control. Once on top, Killian landed
some heavy body shots then attempted an arm bar. Johnson, in

a real show of skill and heart from both women. At the
opening of Round One, they met in the center of the ring and
traded punches. After a brief  exchange,
Laura started landing solid shots straight down the middle,
as Tanya tried to cover up. After weathering that storm,
Tanya began firing back and found herself once again trading
blows with Laura. By the end of Round One, Tanya’s face was
beat red and her eye was swollen, but that didn’t slow her
down. Round Two resembled Round One. Laura was clearly
controlling the fight landing just about everything she
threw. Tanya attempted a few take downs but was
unsuccessful. Round Three was another exciting round. The
two exchanged punches and kicks once again, but it was Laura
that would walk away victorious. The winner by doctor

to pass and get side mount then full mount where he rained
down punches. Rotondella tried to escape but Muller was able
to take his back and lock in a rear naked choke. The

side mount. Tirelli tries to defend and Cummo takes his

throwing punches of his own. Early In Round Three, Tirelli
lands some big punches on what seemed to be an exhausted
Cummo. Shortly after that Cummo connects with some solid
punches of his own rocking Tirelli . This bout went to the

unanimous decision ...David Tirelli.

One, both fighters quickly went to the ground with Sell in
the guard of Liguori. They traded punches on the
ground with Sell getting the better of  the
exchange. Sell worked on passing Liguori’s guard while
dropping bombs. Liguori answered back with solid strikes
from the bottom. In Round Two, Sell gets a takedown and
regains top control. Liguori avoids a Kimaura attempted by
Sell and is able to get to his feet, but Sell shoots and
takes him to the mat with a double leg. Liguori reverses and
takes top control landing some big punches of his own. Sell
was able to get off of his back and tried to double leg
Liguori. Liguori was able to sprawl, hold control and land a
few more punches until the end of the round. Round Three was
the best round. There was non stop action. Liguori lands a
couple of punches before Sell double legs him and gains side
control and connects with some solid punches. Sell made a
few submission attempts. Liguori escapes them and lands more
punches. Liguori stands but Sell quickly takes him back
down. They get back up, clinch and fall back to the mat and
Liguori gets side control and drops big punches. They stand
back up and as Sell goes for another take-down, the bell
rings putting an end to this awesome fight. The winner,
and champion, by split decision ...Peter “Drago” Sell.
"RING OF COMBAT" Cruiserweight Championship. Champion
JAMES GABERT vs. EDDY ROLON. Round One saw the
fighters quickly hitting the mat with Gabert in Rolon’s
guard. They were both active with Gabert maintaining top
control while Rolon was trying to lock Gabert's leg with his
own legs. Eventually they stalemated and the referee stood  them
back up. Rolon under hooks Gabert's arm and tries to roll
him, but Gabert is able to base out and regain top control.
In Round Two, Rolon throws a leg kick, Gabert catches it and
slams Rolon to the mat. Gabert again takes side mount and
throws punches. After Rolon neutralized Gabert's punches,
the referee again brings the fighters back to their feet.
Gabert landed some strong leg kicks before clinching and
going back to the mat with Rolon in Gabert's guard. Rolon
then stands out of Gabert's guard and does a front flip to
pass guard (this move looked like it came right out of the
books of Sakuraba)! Gabert was able to  regain
top control just before the round ended. In Round Three, the
fighters clenched and exchanged knees. Gabert scores another
takedown and gets top control once again. Rolon reaches back
for an ankle lock but Gabert escapes, takes top control and
lands some punches. Rolon again neutralized the punches of
Gabert and the referee stands them back up. Rolon tries to
pull guard but Gabert gets full mount and starts throwing
down punches. Rolon escapes looking for a heel hook. Gabert
tries for the same but loses it and lands some good body
shots. Seconds later, the round ends. The winner, and
still Champion by unanimous decision ...James Gabert.
Main Event Super Fight. NICKY “The Mad Monkey” SERRA vs
RICK McCOY. The fight opened with a brief exchange. The
fighters quickly clinch landing some good body shots.  Serra
showed why he’s called “The Mad Monkey” by jumping into a
flying triangle taking McCoy to the mat. Once on the ground,
Serra tightened the triangle and threw a barrage of heavy
punches to the head of McCoy while occasionally looking over
to his corner smiling. McCoy tried to escape but the
triangle was too tight and he eventually tapped out. The
winner by submission (triangle choke) at 2:58 of Round One
...Nicky Serra.
