Xavier Vigney wins Road to Glory USA heavyweight tournament

This past Friday the Road to Glory USA heavyweight tournament took place in Tulsa, OK. Eight hopefuls entered the one night tournament looking to win $20,000 in prize money and a contract with Glory. When it was over Xavier Vigney walked away the tournament champion after knockout out all three of his opponents. In the opening round Vigney knocked out Jack May, in the semi-finals scored a technical knockout over Julian Walters and in the tournament final he knocked out Maurice Green. All three of his knockouts came in the first round. Vigney now joins the four previous Road to Glory USA winners, Dustin Jacoby, Mike Lemaire, Francois Ambang, and Michael Mananquil.

Steven Banks who originally set to fight in the night's reserve bout came in as a last minute replacement. In his bout with James Wilson both fighters flew over the top rope with Wilson landing on Banks. Banks was taken to the hospital and could not continue and Wilson was awarded the (T)KO win. Banks, however, is okay and back home.

Results and Recap: K-1 Los Angeles under card fights

K-1 Los Angeles kicked off with three under card bouts. In the nights first bout Mike Lemaire and Glen Spencer, Jr battled for three hard fought rounds. Lemaire seemed to push the pace through out the fight working his punches and kicks well. He was able to mix knees into his attacks as he frequently had Spencer with his back against the ropes. Spencer was able to put some nice attacks of his own together, but Lemaire was able to dictate the pace and connect more frequently through out the fight. In the end Lemaire took home a unanimous decision victory.

In the night’s second fight Damien Early and Jermaine Soto were involved in a pretty even fight through the first two rounds. They both had some nice flurries which resembled Rock Em’ Sock Em’ Robots. In the third round, however, a nicely place right hand counter by Early sent Soto down and that was the end of the fight. The third round KO for Early was a spectacular beginning to what seems to be a promising career.
