CageSport XIII Event Coverage and Results

February 20, 2011   Dan Rose   No comments

CageSport XIII took place Saturday night in front of a capacity crowd in Tacoma, WA.  It was an entertaining, action packed card from top to bottom, with a main event of the night featuring a clash between Landon Showalter and Justin Davis.  While Showalter sports a less than remarkable 6-11 record, it’s important to note that he’s been in the cage with the likes of UFC veterans such as Robbie Lawler, Brad Blackburn, Drew Fickett, Chris Leben, Dennis Hallman, Matt Lindland, Steve Bruno, and Pete Sell, holding victories over Bruno and Fickett.   His adversary this evening was “Dangerous” Justin Davis who many believed would be outgunned against the talented and battle tested Showalter.   It didn’t turn out to be the case.

Tired of fighters excuses

January 26, 2010   Joshua Wood (Editor in Chief)   4 Comments

These days more and more fighters take the easy way out when they lose and blame it on something other then themselves. Whether its an injury they had before the fight, over training or a bad call by the ref, its always something. Too few fighters actually man up and say they made a mistake or just got caught these days that’s its getting ridiculous. If it’s not Tito Ortiz claiming he had a “broken skull” or BJ Penn crying “grease-gate” its Josh Koscheck claiming the ref stopped it early even though his eyes rolled into the back of his head. It goes on and on with excuse after excuse and I’m getting rather tired of them to be honest.

The bliss of two event in 24 hours has now past and we are left with the aftermath of some great fights. Its rare for two events to be back to back like this but when they happen it a treat. Both events were really entertaining featuring allot of close match ups that went to the judges. Even though allot of the fights when to the judges they were very good fights and the judges got them right too. After starting out 5-5 on the year I turned things around going 14-6-1 for the two events bringing me up to 19-11-1.
