Friday Night Fights "Fall Brawl" took place at the Hall at St. Pauls in New York and featured three pro Muay Thai fights. All three bouts were action packed and featured a variety of talent.
In the night's main event Dwight Grant and Dan Cucueta were each making their pro debuts. Grant established himself in the fight by successfully using his boxing and transitioning effectively to using his knees. Despite Cucueta being a very tough and game opponent, Grant seemed to be a bit too much in the end. A knockdown and a standing eight count in favor of Grant helped put his stamp on the fight as the judges awarded him the fight by unanimous decision.
In the night's co-main event Daniel Finz and Travis Lerchern fought a very close fight. Both fighters had some good exchanges with their hands in the fight, but seemed to favor the kicks. Finz looked to attack the legs of Lerchern with kicks, while Lerchern opted to work the body kicks. When the fight was over Lerchern took home the win by split decision.
In the night's first pro fight UFC veteran Dave Branch was making his pro Muay Thai debut, as was his opponent Strahinda Ivanovic. Branch looked good as he worked a "Dutch" style, Ivanovic was a solid opponent, but Branch worked behind a very solid jab and was able to take a unanimous decision on the judges score cards.
Results:
Dwight Grant def. Dan Cucueta via Unanimous Decision
Travis Lerchern def. Daniel Finz via Split Decision
Dave Branch def. Strahinda Ivanovic via Unanimous Decision
