On Saturday June 21st 2008, X Fight in conjunction with Fairtex and the United States Muay Thai Federation (USMF) held their "War of Heroes" Fight Card at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The Art of War Fight Team had 2 Fighters on the card and a ton of fans in the stands for a great night of authentic Muay Thai action.
Coach Kirian wrapping Garth's hands before his amateur debut
1st up was a Garth Robbins, making his amateur debut, Garth did a great job for his 1st fight and was fighting a tough opponent from VIP MMA. Unfortunately Garth's fight went the distance and he "lost" a close 3 round decision, but he "won" our hearts ;). Head up Garth we are proud of you for your warrior spirt!
Bryan after his victory with Coaches Kirian and Jivoni
Next up was Bryan Petro, this was Bryan's 2nd amateur fight. Bryan fought a very game opponent from FSA in San Francisco but was just too dominate for him. Bryan put on a clinic during his fight, dropping his opponent to the canvas on multiple occasions with kicks, punches and knees and claimed a well deserved victory. Look for big things out of Bryan as he continues to excel as a fighter and climb in the rankings.
Thank you to Coach Kirian and Coach Jivoni for prepping the fighters and fight team member Jesse Gillespie for helping in the corner during the bouts. A heart felt thanks goes out to the ASD students who bought tickets and came out to support the team during this exciting event. A final thanks goes out to X Fight, Fairtex and the USMF for putting together this fantastic card and having our fighters on the card. We look forward to their next event!
