JSCRAP - BW - Edwin MACLEAN vs. Gabe ANDERSSON

Will Gabe ever grow up? He has all the talent when it comes to submissions, but continues to hit the beach more than the gym. He surfs and stays flexible through yoga, but it hasn't been enough to get noticed by ABC. He has a good 4 fights remaining so we try not to worry too much about that ... I want Gabe to develop.

Edwin is undefeated, 2-0, in his pro career so far so it should be a good place to test Gabe's skills out right? Lets go!

Gabe "Vegan Surfer" Andersson wins by Unanimous Decision


ABC - HW - Carl WANG (C) vs. Otto SIMMONS

Carl's first defense of his Heavyweight title in the ABC organization. Simmons is riding a 6 fight win streak and has only lost once, looking to be a formidable opponent. Carl keeps taking this abuse and comes back repeatedly. I'm quite impressed, having never though he would make it this far but his heart goes a long way. Preliator gave me a call and said they want to sign him if he can defend his title. Regardless of how he wins.

Round one was pretty .. Surprising. Carl lands with a double jab, circling his opponent with a mix of punches and kicks. Otto responds with a kick, and then hook to the head. Carl unleashes a few body shots that forces Simmons' back against the cage, before Carl swims to double underhooks and takes him down!

"Lovely work, Carl. Bring the fight to him, buddy. You won that round, just need to get going through a few more. Two and you lock up the decision."

The two fighters end up in a clinch, but Carl gets his head under Otto's chin to land some quality piston shots. However, Otto lands a good elbow that sends Carl stumbling! Crud! Simmons lands a massive strikes while landing into guard. Carl, however, endured well by driving elbows to the head of Otto.Carl tries to get the armbar, but Otto has some masterful work getting out of it with an overhand to Carl. Owch.They exchange ground strikes, but I feel Carl gets the better of that. The round is ending so I prepare with Charlie to enter the ring and ... Otto dropsa long punch--Mistake one. Carl throws the leg over into an armbar. Simmons tries to hang on, but has to tap! Convincing win from the Gentle Giant!

Your winner by submission through an armbar, and STILL ABC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! ...

Carl "Gentle Giant" Wang wins by Submission (Armbar)


Carl inks the deal with Preliator, but still keeps a part time position in the construction company he had worked in. Maybe Wang could make this into a productive career to support his family. Wang goes up-- Danielsson has yet to win, but can Carl?
