Guam’s Sarusal wants to fight in Trench Warz 15
A female mixed martial arts practitioner from Guam is looking forward to brawl again on Saipan and hopes to be in the fight card of Trench Warz 15: Supremacy set for Dec. 16 at the Saipan World Resort’s Royal Taga Ballroom.
Guam’s Gianna “Gia-Baby” Sarusal, of Dededo Boxing Club and Lights Out Gym, is eager to come back for another female boxing exhibition match set in the 130 to 150 lb division.
Interested contenders must be at least 18 years old. Sarusal’s last exhibition match resulted in a draw against Saipan’s Tara “The Tarantula” Namauleg.
Trench Tech Purebred Promotions, meanwhile, has updated its tentative fight card for Trench Warz 15.
So far 12 fights are listed on the card, which features a heavyweight main event at 230 lbs between Trench Tech’s Mylo “Bam Bam” Lassiter (1-1) and Guam’s Manny “The Enforcer” Chong (8-8) of the Thug Cop Fight Club.
Chong is returning to the cage after over a two-year hiatus. He lost his last fight back in July 2009 when he was knocked out by Saipan’s Kelvin “The Big Hit” Fitial of Marianas Elite. Fitial is the current Pacific Xtreme Combat heavyweight champion.
Lassiter is looking to bounce back from a submission loss issued by South Korea’s Doo Hwan Kim (1-0) last month in PXC 27.
Trench Tech’s Shane “Pikaboo” Alvarez (7-0), meanwhile, will put his featherweight title on the line against Guam’s Rob “The Real Deal” Wusstig (2-5) of Counter Shot MMA.
Alvarez is looking to stretch his unbeaten streak to eight. He was awarded a unanimous decision after five grueling rounds with Marianas Elite’s Derrick “El Peligro” Rangamar (3-10) in Rites of Passage 11: Onra back in September.
Wusstig hasn’t notched a win since July 2008 and lost three fights in 2010, one by submission and two via decision.
Trench Tech’s Fasi “Quickdraw” Jesse (7-4) is paired up against Marianas Elite’s Maitai “The Charger” Charley (3-7) at 145 lbs.
Both fighters are hungry for a win as Charley endured a tough split decision loss to Trench Tech’s “Badd” Brad Palacios (5-3) last June, while Korean Top Team’s Jang Yong “The Beast” Kim submitted Jesse with an arm bar in the first round in last month’s PXC 27.
In other matchups, Trench Tech’s Slade “The Rage” Adelbai (8-4-1D) returns to the octagon after a year off to take on Guam’s Martin Pablo in a heavyweight bout at 235 lbs, while Trench Tech’s Martin “Ningbo Slice” Cepeda (3-1) will step inside the octagon opposite Counter Shot’s Keith Corpuz in a light heavyweight match.
