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. Full ResultsMens Muay Thai 152lb. Limit Anthony Phillip (TSMMA) V.

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.
James "Binky" Jones is the new Ring of Combat Light Weight Champion!!!
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!!! Full results Preliminary bouts 171lb. Limit Carmine Zocchi (Rhino Fight Team) V. Brian McLaughlin (Hudson Valley BJJ) McLaughlin wins via rear naked choke at 1:57 R1. 147lb.

Another great night of MMA action from Promoter Louis Neglia |
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.

Ring of Combat XII
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. Here are the full results Preliminary Bouts 140lb Weight Class:Joe Bentz (Fight Factory) V. Steve Vitti (Rhino Fight Team) Winner: Steve Vitti via triangle choke at 2:50 R2. 165lb. Weight Class:Joe Scarola (Serra Longo) V. Bill Worfolk Winner: Joe Scarola via arm bar at 1:51 R1. 1st round Light Weight Tournament matches Charles Wilson (Double Tap Fight Crew) V.

Will Kerr (Strikezone)Winner: Ian Loveland via Guillotine at 3:22 R1, Loveland advances to face Bione. Jay "el terrible" Estrada (Gilbert Grappling/Estrada K9 unit) V. Kevin "badboy" English (Duneland Vale Tudo)Winner: BOUT RULED A NO CONTEST DUE TO AN ACCIDENTAL ILLEGAL STRIKE. THE STATE ATHLETIC COMMISION WOULD NOT ALLOW THE BOUT TO CONTINUE. WE ASSUME THERE WILL BE A REMATCH TO RESOLVE THIS BRACKET OR PERHAPS ALTERNATE IDO PARIENTE FILLS THE VOID.

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 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. *Photo of 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.
**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. Here are the evenings full results142lb.

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.
