Tom & Mark Billington vs. Bomaye Fight Club signed for MLW Blood & Thunder TV trucks roll up to Philadelphia January 7 for a huge TV taping

(PHILADELPHIA) — Major League Wrestling today announced The Billington Bulldogs (Tom & Mark Billington) vs. BOMAYE Fight Club (Myron Reed & Mr. Thomas) at MLW Blood & Thunder on Saturday, January 7 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.  Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office. The card is an MLW TV taping, airing nationwide in the US and in over 60 countries around the world. One of the sport’s most celebrated British dynasties collide with the hottest fight team in MLW: the BOMAYE Fight Club in Philadelphia. The bone-crushing power of Mr. Thomas and finesse of Myron Reed will represent the BOMAYE Fight Club as they look to stomp out the emerging force in the tag team division, Mark and Thomas Billington. The fight team, composed of the 2019 Opera Cup winner Davey Boy Smith Jr., and his cousins Thomas and Mark Billington, collectively as the British Bulldogs, have united to win gold and glory in MLW. The Billington Family, which roots date back to being executioners in the late 1800s before venturing into combat sports, has been a fixture of the squared circle for over a century. From bare knuckle fights to boxing to the Dynamite Kid’s prolific pro wrestling career, the Billington Family is a storied brawling British clan. The legendary tag team of cousins Davey Boy Smith Sr. and “Dynamite Kid” Tom Billington, the British Bulldogs, defined tag team wrestling in the 1980s, dominating every organization from Japan to North America to Europe. Decorated in gold, Smith and Billington were feared and respected for their tenacity and innovation. Now the Smiths and Billingtons reunite as a new generation forge a new chapter in their family’s rich history. Debuting in 2019, Mark and Thomas, the nephews of the Dynamite Kid, have recently been training for their MLW debut with their cousin Davey Boy and another distant relative in Canada: Bret “Hitman” Hart. What will the trio have in store for fans and BOMAYE at Blood & Thunder? Only time will tell, but they will be up against some stiff competition. Mark and Tom Billington will be up against the 3-time World Middleweight Champ Reed and the heavy hitting muscle of BOMAYE in Mr. Thomas. With payback for the Opera Cup on their minds, the Bulldogs are in the hunt for retribution. Which team will reign supreme?

Bellator MMA 131

Bellator MMA 131

Por Daniel “Mr. Clutch” Mercado Castro

El Valley View Casino Center en San Diego, California vibró con un mega cartel que presentó Bellator MMA. La lucha estelar llenó todas las expectativas cuando dos leyendas de la MMA, Tito Ortiz (18-11-1) y Stephan Bonnar (15-9), llevaron su riña personal dentro del hexágono. Ortiz dominó a Bonnar en una pelea cerrada por decisión dividida (30-27, 28-29 y 30-27). Yo la vi 30-27 a favor de Tito. Ortiz dominó una pelea que fue a palo limpio de principio a fin donde desde el primer round puso a sangrar a Bonnar. Ortiz utilizó su lucha con takedowns para acumular los puntos necesarios para dominar a Bonnar. Luego de la pelea siguió la guerra personal con Ortiz echándole agua encima de Bonnar al este hacerse el muerto cuando escucho la decisión. Ortiz también retó a Bonnar a otra pelea. ¡Que amores! 

Hay que destacar la presentación fabulosa que realizó Bellator para los peleadores en esta cartelera, parecía de lucha libre, excelente e impresionante. Will Brooks (15-1) se coronó campeón Lightweight al vencer vía TKO a los 3:48 del cuarto asalto a Michael Chandler (12-3). Esta pelea comenzó bien cerrada y pareja donde Brooks lució más efectivo pero por el mínimo sobre Chandler. En el cuarto asalto, Brooks sacó una fuerte derecha que estremeció a Chandler y hasta pareció decirle al arbitro que no iba más. Brooks al no ver que el arbitro detuviera la pelea, procedió atacar a Chandler con furia para lograr la victoria por TKO. El arbitro detuvo la pelea luego de no ver contestación de Chandler a los golpes de Brooks. Joe Schilling (18-7) sorprendió y de que manera a Melvin Manhoef (37-13) en una pelea de Middleweights donde un combinación de derecha e izquierda le dio la victoria a los 32 segundos del segundo asalto. Es la primera victoria en MMA de Schilling, un ex campeón de Glory (Kickboxing). Manhoef dominó completamente el primer asalto y por poco logra vencer a Schilling con sus poderoso striking. ¡Que comeback! Mike Richman (18-5) con una fuerte izquierda seguida de una salsa de puños, venció por KO a los 46 segundos del primer asalto al debutante Nam Phan (20-14). En una batalla en las 205 libras, King Mo (14-4) se apuntó un triunfo por TKO a los 39 segundos del tercer asalto sobre Joe Vedepo (17-9). Mo desfiguró el rostro de Vedepo y lo dominó en el suelo a su vez.
