The Warriors Cup XIV recap



Muay Thai is alive and well in NJ. Fightswewant.com was on hand at the Warriors Cup XIV held on March 3rd 2012 at the Rahway Rec Center in Rahway NJ. This was an extremely well run event with 16 amateur bouts of nonstop action which included two title matches. The fighters represented various local gyms in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and as far away as Massachusetts and Virginia. Also on the card where 3 female matches and as is typically the case, they came to bang and did not disappoint.

While all the bouts were entertaining, we wanted to make mention of and highlight a few of them here. The second bout of the night was contested at the B-Class Welterweight division (145 lbs) between Robinson Marte fighting out of the Lions Roar Muay Thai gym in the Bronx, NY and Alexandre Paulinho from Gold Team BJJ). We had Marte winning the first road and ahead on points when he dropped Paulinho at 1:05 in the second round for the TKO win.

The second female bout of the night had B-Class Super Featherweights (130 lbs) Joanie Di Meo (Weapons 9 –SCA) versus Kate Allen (Cool Hearts Muay Thai Camp). It appears Di Meo was having difficulty with Allen’s long range. Allen fed her a steady diet of power leg kicks in route to a 30-27 unanimous decision.

The first of two title fights and part of the co main event was between the Middleweight (155 lb) Champ, Rich Brattole representing W9/SCA against the Challenger Romain Gaston fighting out of Boston Muay Thai. This won went the distance with Brattole dominating the four rounds to record the unanimous decision.

The co main event was a Super Middleweight (168) title defense tilt between the Champ, Stephen Regman , fighting out of Tiger Schulman MMA and the Challenger, Flavio Brita fighting out of Boston Muay Thai. This one ended in a controversial draw. If you don’t beat the champ in convincing fashion you should not win a title fight. While both camps and fans were unhappy, I think the judges got it right. Overall it wasn't too good of a night for the out of town guest.
