King of the Rock 3 Fight Results – Judson TKO Upset Win Over Downey

March 4, 2012 in Events

Fight Results

1 Shelley Strachan Def. Megan Williams Womens Kickboxing. Strachan got the win by unanimous judges decision. A great opening match to King of the Rock 3. Williams and Strachan are both well known to the local scene and for the large crowd in attendance kicked things off with a very good fast paced fight.
2 Colin Butts Def. Tyler Mertens Amateur MMA match. A great matchup for two young local mma fighters. Colin Butts gets a win by referee stoppage due to ground and pound, in round 2. While the end was decisive, Tyler Mertens showed great technique that has to be noted. The front kick is the most elementary martial art technique and also the most underrated. Mertens used front kicks very effectively throughout the match, paring them with notable jab and uppercut combinations. Colin Butts did manage to get through to Mertens and draw first blood on him, and a sizeable amount of it that cause the fight Doctor to almost call the fight right there. The fight ended when Colin Butts worked out of Tyler Mertens headlock to get the dominant position on the mat to bring the fight to a decisive finish.
3 Marty Wise Def. Matt Shannon Amateur MMA. Marty Wise wisely finished the fight early. After blows landing on target and a short ground fight for position, Wise easily coaxed the lesser experienced Shannon over to take his back to get into a submission by rear naked choke.
4 Johnathan Dubois Def. Dave Koliwski Exhibition Boxing. Johnathan Dubois showed off what a threat he can be as a boxer in this exhibition match. Despite being well outmatched for height and reach, Dubois got inside on Koliwski, knocking him down for a first, second, then third time which finally and decisively led to the referee stoppage. Dubois then knocked down Koliwski hard for the third time in round 1 and was awarded TKO by referee stoppage.
4 Dillon Brown & Lee Muller Exhibition Kickboxing. Dillon Brown, showed his skills as a fighter by working the pocket fearlessly in a flowing exhibition match against Lee Muller of Canada’s Best Karate.
6 Scott Judson Def. Mike Downey Amateur Kickboxing / Muay Thai. The story goes that some time ago, Scott Judson saw Mike Downey wearing a championship belt in a bar after one of his wins. Judson told Mike Downey then and there that he wanted that belt! While that particular belt wasn’t on the line at King of the Rock 3, Judson and Downey did agree to throw down over a belt, and that is how they came to be matched for the main card. Knowing Downey’s reputation as a fighter already holding several championship titles, not to mention his very recent return from a training camp in Thailand, most people would have bet on the experienced Downey over Judson, the Courtenay local. Problem is, nobody told Judson he couldn’t win the fight, and nobody told his numerous fans in the crowd either. Inside the ring, Judson got Downey in round 1 with a sweep and the crowd went wild. Mike Downey did a great deal to shore up his scorecard in round two, sweeping Judson twice and taking the fight to him. But round 3 gave Judson the opportunity to beat Downey with power and accuracy, knocking him down once, and then finally a second time. Downey got hit hard in there, and not having the ability to get up it would bring an end the fight by TKO.

Judson took on a highly regarded, highly respected fighter and beat him soundly. That is what you call an upset. Judson is going to ave some serious fights in his near future and make believers out of those who dont know him.
