VEGAS BABY!




What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, usually ;). The Art of War Fight Team had another great night at the Future Champion Fight Night at Master Toddy's World Famous Gym on this past Saturday night. The team went 3-1 against some of the top fight teams from around the country.

Brian Petro was phenomenal in his fight debut winning his fight via TKO (with a body shot) in the 2nd round against a game opponent for "The Lab" in Arizona. Jesse Gillespe put in a dominate performance against his opponent from Ken Han's "Striking Unlimited" winning a unanimous decision. Eric Faria put on quite a show.... showing great versatility and a dominate clinch game against a tough opponent for the "Xyience" Training Center in Las Vegas. The fight was so exciting it was voted "Fight of the Night". With over 30 fights on the card and fighters from around the country that is an excellent accomplishment. Unfortunately, Lil Rock lost a tough fight via a decision against a very good opponent out of Meijero Gym in Los Angeles, CA. You'll get him next time Rock!

All the fighters did a great job in representing the fight team in this national tournament and the winners will be invited back for the finals in the summer. Thanks to all the Art of War Fight team fans that traveled all the way to Vegas to support the team. Your the best.

Great job to the coaches Jivoni Jordan and Kirian Fitzgibbons for getting the team ready and thanks to Edgar and Stan for helping with prepping and corning the fighters with Coach Kirian.

Finally a big thank you to Master Toddy for inviting the team to the card and putting on a first class show.
