Result’s Courtsey of Hawaii Fight Scene and The Black Hawaiian

By Bryanna Fissori

Vendetta III, held at the Waipahu Filcom on Saturday, March 3rd was a full night of entertainment. The card consisted of Pankration, Triple Threat and Kickboxing match-ups of many up-and-comers in the Hawaii combat sports scene as well as some veterans. The vast majority of the opponent pairings were fitting for the competitors skill level, despite fact that both Big Island and Kauai were also hosting events on the same night, which typically results in a smaller pool of competitors to pull from to fill cards. Overcoming that obstacle, the promoters for Vendetta secured 14 solid bouts for the evening.

Thank you to the fighters for a great showing in the cage.

The “Downtown Showdown” Amatuer and Youth Kickboxing event was hosted by 6:11 Entertainment on Saturday, January 21, 2012. The stands filled with supporters as first timers and seasoned amatuers stepped into the ring to show their skills. The night was action packed from begining to end culminating in a heavy handed main event between Neale Johnson and Clem Halemano filled with vicous flurries and clenches which served to keep the crowd wondering if the fighters were about to turn the kickboxing match into a ground war. The split decision went to Halemano.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will serve to benefit “Facedown Youth Ministries” based out of International River of Life Christian Center in Waianae. The funds from the will be used to help subsidize travel, hotel, transportation, food and misc. expenses for the group’s upcoming Christian Camp held annually in California in June.
