Marianas Elite\u2019s Maitai \u201cThe Charger\u201d Charley lived up to his name, relentlessly attacking Guam\u2019s Kyle Pablo en route to a referee stoppage win in their 150-lb bout in the Rites of Passage 11: Onra held last Friday night at the Royal Taga Ballroom of the Saipan World Resort.<\/p>\n
Charley clobbered Pablo with successive strikes, prompting the referee to step in and pulled the plug on the latter at 3:53 in the second round. Charley was the aggressor in the second round after engaging the Guam fighter in a chess match in the first round. The Marianas Elite bet managed a couple of top position in the opening round, but Pablo played good defense to stay afloat.<\/p>\n
Charley was then hemmed in briefly at the start of the second round, but slipped out of the hold and took the top position again and this time he dealt out some ferocious strikes until the referee pulled him off and called the fight.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other winners in ROP 11: Onra were Tinian\u2019s Regino Mundo, Zalaka\u2019s Jacob \u201cOne Blow\u201d Ilo, Haga\u2019s Jordan \u201cJungle Boy\u201d Ogo, and Zalaka\u2019s Joe \u201cDa Combo\u201d Duenas<\/p>\n
Mundo of team Zeng Zung defeated Guam newcomer Justin \u201cDungka\u201d Dizon by unanimous decision in their 150-lb kickboxing match.<\/p>\n
Ilo topped Guam\u2019s John Garcia of Counter Shot by split-decision in another kickboxing fight at the 125-lb weight class. While both fighters kept a high pace in the bout, Ilo looked much more relaxed and showcased more power with his punches.<\/p>\n
Ogo also won his kickboxing fight in the same weight class against Counter Shot\u2019s Jared \u201cSmiley Face\u201d Santos, prevailing via unanimous decision. Ogo was the obvious aggressor, throwing haymaker after haymaker right at the middle of Santos\u2019 face. Although unorthodox it proved to be very effective.<\/p>\n
Duenas remained unbeaten in three fights after winning over Predator Combat\u2019s Tabi Jay Muna (4-12) via verbal submission at 1:47 into the second round of their 135-lb bout. Notably, Muna took the fight on a less than 24-hour notice, as Duenas\u2019 original opponent did not make the weight. Although a veteran at the octagon, Muna\u2019s conditioning was in question from the get go.<\/p>\n
Muna found himself caught in a headlock for the majority of the fight and was injured at some point during the second round. The fight was called off when Muna could not get up to his feet when the referee opted to stand up the tangled brawlers.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Trench Tech\u2019s next event will be the Trench Warz 15: Supremacy and is scheduled for December 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
