Notable International victories include Naldo Silva via KO, and Outh Phoutang via decision.

Chris Romulo - Romulo has gone 3-0 in 2010. He claimed the Pro WKA Middleweight Title, and his wins include a KO of Sacha Hijazi via head kick, a TKO of Robert Blake, and a decision victory over Sean Hinds.

Miriam Nakamoto - Nakamoto has gone 4-0 in 2010, and she still has one fight left that will be taking place on Dec. 18th against Chantal Ughi. Notable wins include Angela Parr, and a historic first round TKO against Claire Haigh that made Miriam the first American woman to hold a WBC title.

Ky Hollenbeck - Hollenbeck has gone 5-0-1 in 2010, including KO's in his last three bouts. He still has the potential to add two more wins to his record before years end as he will be competing in a 4-man tournament in China on Dec. 18th, which will feature fighters such as Luis Bio, and Steve Moxon. Hollenbeck's wins include KO's over Kenny Finister, and Shawn Lee.

Joseph Valtellini - Valtellini has put together a record of 3-0 since turning pro in May. His wins include TKO's over Dorian Price, and most recently Sean Hinds.

Gabriel Varga - Varga has gone 2-1 in 2010, with his only loss being a very controversial decision to Terrence Hill.

Joe Schilling - Schilling has gone 3-0 in 2010. His wins include TKO's of Ryan Roy, and Chaz Mulky, as well as a victory in Rajadamnern
Stadium in Thailand.
