Combat at the Capitale – Knock Outs Galore
Friday September 25th, 2009 – Chinatown, New York City – World Champion Louis Neglia is at it again – with the latest installment of New York City’s Premier Kickboxing/Muay Thai show –Combat at the Capitale. There are plenty of other shows in the city but none compare with this show – the card was loaded with top notch fighters including some Pro MMA bad asses – not to mention the top notch venue on the Bowery and it is truly an event to witness. MMA star on the rise “Relentless” Jeff Lentz traded his MMA gloves for Boxing gloves tonight and continues to lay waste to anyone who dares enter a ring or a cage with him. Sensei “Scorpion” Majad was exterminated by Lentz via TKO at 1:05 of R3. Do not stand and trade blows with Lentz he will take your head off. Pro MMA fighter Jose Sulsano tried his hand at Kickboxing after a recent loss at the Ring of Combat 26 but fared no better against NYC Muay Thai veteran James “B52” Smith. Smith dropped a megaton bomb on Sulsano at 1:56 of R1 for the Knock out win. Sulsano needs to re-evaluate his decisions to fight anyone anytime – not good for your career to be finished in every fight. Jersey Fight Club’s Marcus Taylor delivered the knock out of the night when he knocked out Wayne Brown in the 3rd round of their fight. Taylor is one of those guys who you look at and think “wow this guy is too heavy to be a fighter” due to his round build. But do not judge a book by its cover – Taylor is fast – really fast and agile –kind of like Shaq when he starts dancing – you don’t expect him to be that light on his feet- just ask Wayne Brown.
Neglia Competition Team’s Andrea DeAngelo put on a striking clinic against a very tough Chrissy Yandolli, which led to the unanimous decision victory. DeAngelo’s Teammate James DeSantis was involved is a barnburner of a fight which was so close that it could have been called either way but his opponent Mike Han walked away with the split decision victory – can you say “rematch”? Below are the full results 184lb. 115lb (Women) 140lb. (Women) 149lb. 155lb. 174lb. 200lb. 155lb. 125lb. 140lb 165lb. 160lb. 167lb 205lb. 140lb. A great night of Knockouts from Promoter Louis Neglia.
