Trench Tech\u2019s Shane \u201cPikaboo\u201d Alvarez will put his unblemished record and featherweight title on the line when he takes on Guam\u2019s Rob \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Wusstig in Trench Warz 15: Supremacy on Dec. 16 at Saipan World Resort\u2019s Royal Taga Ballroom.<\/p>\n
Alvarez is looking to stretch his unbeaten streak to eight. He was awarded a unanimous decision victory after five grueling rounds against Marianas Elite\u2019s Derrick \u201cEl Peligro\u201d Rangamar in Rites of Passage 11: Onra last September.<\/p>\n
Wusstig, fighting out of Counter Shot MMA, totes an unremarkable 2-5 record and has not notched a win since July 2008. He lost three fights in 2010, one by submission and two via decision.<\/p>\n
Trench Tech also announced changes to the Trench Warz 15\u2019s fight card with Josh \u201cChaos\u201d Duenas (1-0) going up against Kev \u201cThe Rev\u201d Esteves in a battle of independents at 135 lbs.<\/p>\n
Trench Tech\u2019s \u201cBadd\u201d Brad Palacios (5-3), meanwhile, will take on Guam\u2019s Bryan Toves of the Light Out Gym at 145 lbs and Palacios\u2019 stablemate Mark \u201cThe Dark\u201d Nuique (5-0) will face off against Predator Combat\u2019s \u201cTabi\u201d Jay Muna (2-10) at 135 lbs.<\/p>\n
In addition, Guam\u2019s Gianna \u201cGia-Baby\u201d Sarusal of Dededo Boxing Club and Lights Out Gym is still looking for an opponent in a female boxing exhibition match set from 130 to 150 lbs. <\/p>\n
Interested contenders must be at least 18 years old. Sarusal\u2019s last exhibition match resulted in a draw against Saipan\u2019s Tara \u201cThe Tarantula\u201d Namauleg in Rites of Passage 11: Onra.<\/p>\n
A total of 14 fights are listed on the fight card for Trench Warz 15, including the heavyweight main event at 230 lbs between Trench Tech\u2019s Mylo \u201cBam Bam\u201d Lassiter (1-1) and Guam\u2019s Manny \u201cThe Enforcer\u201d Chong (8-8) of Thug Cop Fight Club. <\/p>\n
Chong is returning to the cage after over a two-year hiatus. He lost his last fight in July 2009 when Marianas Elite\u2019s Kelvin \u201cThe Big Hit\u201d Fitial knocked him out. Fitial is the current Pacific Xtreme Combat heavyweight champion. <\/p>\n
Lassiter, meanwhile, is looking to bounce back from a submission loss issued by South Korea\u2019s Doo Hwan Kim (1-0) last month in PXC 27.<\/p>\n
Trench Tech\u2019s Fasi \u201cQuickdraw\u201d Jesse (7-4), for his part, will square off against Marianas Elite\u2019s Maitai \u201cThe Charger\u201d Charley (3-7) at 145 lbs. <\/p>\n
Both fighters are hungry for a win as Charley absorbed a tough split-decision loss to Trench Tech\u2019s \u201cBadd\u201d Brad Palacios last June, while Korean Top Team\u2019s Jang Yong \u201cThe Beast\u201d Kim submitted Jesse with an arm bar in the first round of last month in PXC 27.<\/p>\n
