This night had eight exciting amateur fights. Two titles on the line - a Minnesota State Title and a Warriors Title. The fighters came ready to rock and roll, and they did just that. The fans had a full night fast paced, hard hitting and high action bouts.  Thank you to all the competitors for proving their valor and walking the walk!

Winner: Jordan Allen by unanimous decision
Anderson 30-27, Duffy 29-28, Campbell 29-28

 This was the night’s only MMA fight, and it was the right way to set the stage for the night. All 3 rounds were the same scenario brawler vs. technician…Fletcher came out banging right at the sound of the bell - very aggressive “head down” non-stop attack with all hands. Allen very calm (almost to calm) waited and was very patient for Fletcher to relax. In the middle of Fletchers wild attacks Allen was able to land accurate techniques with hands and feet with several axe kicks to the face. In Round 3 both fighters began to tier. Allen was able to land kicks to the legs and body with punches landing straight to the face, as Fletcher was able to land clean punches to the face too. In the end both fighters had their share of hard hits, blood, cuts and black eyes. Winner by Split decision…Allen. 

Winner: Majority Draw!
Anderson 27-30, Duffy 28-28, Campbell 30-27

This fight is under review by the International Kickboxing Federation.

Round one started with Riley being very busy with ring control, movement and well placed strikes. Riley’s Super Man punch founded it’s mark EVERY time. Profant was looking for the one hit KO and never really found a pace that worked against riley’s blitzes and ring movement. Round 2 the same story, Profant tried to pressure Riley but was stopped by Riley’s peppering hit and move strategy. Profant seemed to get frustrated and tried to land the “one hitter quitter” as he pushed and trapped Riley against the ropes but again it was Riley’s side to side movement that kept him out of trouble. Also Riley’s Super Man punches really stole the show and excited the crowd; he was able to throw it at will. Round 3 Profant was able to put some pressure on Riley but with nothing effective. Not sure what the judges were doing, or what fight they were watching but the results were a MAJORITY DRAW! And the crowd was defiantly disappointed.

Winner: Chris Schorrock by split decision
Anderson 29-28, Duffy 29-26, Campbell 27-29

If you are thinking of being a fighter…conditioning is critical! Ollerman began the fight looking as if he would win by TKO/KO very strong hard hitting and LONG. Ollerman used his reach with long legs and arms to land stinging strikes that really shuck up Schorrock. WELL, as round 2 started Ollerman was tiered and Schorrock landed looping hooks with booth lefts and rights. An 8 count was one hit away with Ollerman using the ropes to stay standing but Schorrock was unable deliver the final blow due to fatigue him self. The 3rd round was similar to the 2nd. Ollerman was simply tiered with wobbly legs and barely holding his hands in place to protect himself. Schorrock very fatigued him self - just couldn’t get the job done. Schorrock wins it by Split decision. Again, the judging seemed suspect as Schorrock clearly won the last two rounds.

Winner: Truman Kellie by TKO 2nd Round “no show”

 “Adam Gotvald is on 45 day suspention due to TKO”

 It’s a HUGE advantage to study a form of striking in the martial arts, in order to be an effect Kickboxer. Truman displayed awesome kicking ability with his background in Karate. I believe his background aided him with his calm demeanor and poise with good ring control and movement. Gotvald was awarded two standing 8 counts one of them coming by way of hook kick to the head. Gotvald was very, very, very close to a 1st round TKO. Gotvald was unable to answer the bell for the second round.

Winner: Mike Yount by unanimous decision:
Anderson 30-25, Duffy 30-24, Campbell 30-24

Yount showed impressive techniques with punch combinations and effective kicks. Yount fought as if to be a Cruiser weight and not a Super Heavy Weight. Able was very game fighter and showed lots of heart and fought on threw the punishment delivered by Yount. Able lost 2 points through the fight, one for low kicks and the second for not getting the required 6 kicks in round 3. Yount wins by unanimous decision.

Winner: Elijah Thibodeaux by majority decision:
Anderson 27-29, Duffy 28-28, Campbell 27-29

This was another shaking call by the judges! Both fighters showed good control, form and pressure. Thibodeaux seemed to win the first round by general ringmenship and out kicking and out punching Masterton, however all 3 judges gave this round to Masterton. Masterton was catching and holding Elijah’s kicks and was penalized one point in the second round giving Thibodeaux the winning advantage. Again Thibodeaux showed better pressure and general ringmenship in round 3 but the judges were split on it. Thibodeaux wins by majority decision.

Winner: Chuck Anderson by split decision
Anderson 37-39, Duffy 39-37, Campbell 36-40

 Battle of the low blows! These two fighters might want to get checked out, to see if they can still have children some day? Each fighter was down on the canvas at least two times for groin hits and several others that didn’t put them down, but they needed time to recover. Also both of these fighters were Bobby Anderson (the promoter’s) students, Charles Anderson being his son. Very even match, both fighters had lots of respect for each other but also tried to win the fight aggressively. It was Anderson that won the split decision

Winner: Matt Hunter by Majority decision
Anderson 40-36, Duffy 38-38, Campbell 40-36

 This was the second time these fighters met. A great match up to watch especially for the IKF Minnesota State Title. During their last fight many thought that Patneaude edged out Hunter for the win, but it was Hunter that got gold. Hunter defiantly looked more experienced than he did in the past. Patneaude was also very in shape with endurance as both fighters fought the entire 4 rounds and did not appear to be fatigued at all. The difference here was that Hunter changed his fighting style and approach with a more busy and accurate striking application by paying attention to the open areas and picking his shots. Where as Patneaude seem to have the exact combat plan as before, with a, “just go out and fight” attitude. He has good skills and is very aggressive but it wasn’t enough to win tonight. This was a very close fight, yet it was Hunters growth that was clear tonight, keep an eye on this future champion. Congratulations to Matt Hunter, the NEW Amateur IKF Walter Weight Minnesota State Champion!
