The Level Up Fight Team Strikes Again
This weekend The Level Up Fight Team was back at it again. The Team made its first trip to fight in New Jersey. The show was Warriors Cup which is one of the best Muay Thai shows on the East Coast. The Cup is WBC sanctioned making it one of the important events to fight on in the US. The card would feature two National WBC Title Fights as well as two amatuer title fights. Level Up was originally slated to have Jared Tipton and Patrick Rivera both fighting on the card. Unfortunately we were informed the week of the fight that Jareds opponent was unable to compete.
Patrick would be facing a tough opponent Joe Bastone of Impact Martial Arts. Joe has a winning record of 5-1 with a couple knockout finishes. We knew our game plan needed to be sound and executed properly. Patrick is a very strategic and smart fighter. To win the fight he used all the weapons available to him. Mixing his boxing, leg kicks and some strong clinch work Rivera was awarded a Unanimous Decision. After the result was announced to two fighters hugged in a show of mutual respect for one another. Seeing this type of sportsmanship is always a great thing.
We were very honored to be a part of this amazing card. Chris Tran of Warriors Cup is one of the most gracious Promoters we have worked with. We felt at home the entire time, and plan to compete on every upcoming Warriors Cup there is. The event was recorded by Go Fight Live and can be ordered at GFL.tv. If you missed the action, or would just like to see it again head over now and enjoy the show.
We would like to thank our Sponsors for all the support. Urban Ninja, and Ink Generation for our apparell. We would also like to thank everyone that helped us prepare for this fight, Brian Crenshaw and the Combat Sports Center Fight Team, Henry Smith and his Towson Thai Boxing Team, and our good friend Matt Van Valkenburgh of Annapolis Muay Thai for all your help!!
