A couple of notable call outs in Trench Warz 15

 Marianas Elite’s Vince Pua was called out by Guam’s Ricky Camp after the former’s 140-lb catch-weight bout against Camp’s stablemate Ryan Toves during Trench Warz 15: Supremacy last Friday at the Saipan World Resort.

Lights Out Gym’ Camp (2-0) was Toves’ cornerman that night and as passions flared in the aftermath, he challenged Pua to a bout at 145 lbs in the next Trench Tech event.

Still unbeaten in four tries, Pua put on yet another impressive display, recording a technical knockout victory over Toves at 2:47 of the first round.

Pua went for a takedown right out of the gate, but was stuffed pretty well by Toves.

Toves then managed the top position, but Pua crawled back to his feet and went for another take down.

Pua took top position and Toves appeared to play good defense until Pua lifted him up and slammed him twice.

The second slam dazed Toves, allowing Pua to finish him off with some vicious head strikes until referee Keith Nabors called it off.

The bout set the stage for Rob “The Real Deal” Wusstig (3-5), of Guam’s Countershot Mixed Martial Arts, and home bet Shane “Pikaboo” Alvarez’s title match, which the former earned a split-decision victory after a handful of exhausting five-minute rounds.

In addition, Tinian’s Craig “Earthquake” Borja and Rhenz Benghit also put on a good showing on Friday night.

Zeng Zung’s Borja defeating Zalaka’s Jake “One Blow” Ilo by majority decision after three five-minute rounds in their MMA bout set at 140-lbs.

Ilo took the first round with a big takedown that sent Borja to the mat in an awkward position. Borja’s arm was caught behind him in the fall giving Ilo room to open a cut under his rival’s left eye with some powerful elbow strikes.

Borja, however, recovered in the second round and almost caught Ilo in a rear-naked choke.

The latter was too slippery to sink it in so Borja dealt out some punishing ground-and-pound strikes to the face.

Then both fighters stood and banged in the final round, making it very difficult on the judges.

It was non-stop action in the last three minutes as both fighters wanted it bad, but perhaps an all out football tackle by Borja in the last 10 seconds may have made the difference.

Team Relentless’s Benghit bested Zalaka’s John Ilo by unanimous decision in their K-1 kickboxing exhibition set at 145lbs.

This match may have been listed as an exhibition, but turned out to be one of the most exciting parings of the night.

Both got in some nice shots early and both fell to the canvas, albeit briefly. It was pretty well even in the opening three minutes as Ilo held the reach advantage, but Benghit was bobbing and weaving in his own respect.

While both mixed it up well, Benghit took round two using his left hand with some nice footwork and was credited with a knock down.

Then they gave each other hell for the first half of the final round, making yet another tough call by the judges.

Some other Trench Tech winners included Mark “The Dark” Nuique (6-0) and Martin “Ning-Bo Slice” Cepeda (5-2).

Nuique toppled Predator Combat’s “Tabi” Jay Muna at 2:58 of the second round due to strikes from the mount position.

Nuique returned to the octagon in true form after taking a year off.

He waited patiently for his opportunities and improved his unbeaten streak to six in a row.

Muna was eventually mounted and saved by the bell in Round 1, but was not so fortunate the second time around.

While Nuique held about a 5-lb weight advantage, he still displayed superior wrestling skills in the fight and cleanly mounted Muna in both rounds with Nabors calling it just before the end of round two.

Cepeda earned a unanimous decision victory over Guam newcomer Keith Corpuz, of Countershot, in their bout set at 190 lbs.

Being by far the more experienced fighter, Cepeda did a good job cutting Corpus off in the cage and his wrestling and grappling skills showed through in the match, however, props to Corpus for going the distance.

Cepeda tried to finish the fight about three different ways as he dominated all three rounds, but his rookie opponent had nothing to hang his head about.

Meanwhile Guam’s Josh The Hedgehog” Alvarez (9-4), of Countershot, and Spike 22’s Jared “The Haole Horror” Melon also notched wins in their parings.

Josh Alvarez defeated Trench Tech’s Josh “Chaos” Duenas (1-2) by split decision at 135 lbs.

Duenas may have taken round one with some crafty wrestling, but Alvarez kept to his ground game and dictated the action in Rounds 2 and 3.

It was no easy task, but Alvarez kept the fight on the ground and maintained top position, while mixing in some good ground and pound strikes.

Melon dominated independent fighter Dung Castro, swiftly finishing off his opponent with a flurry of strikes from the mount at 1:58 of the first round.

Melon smothered Castro right away and waited for the just the right time to unleash his attack. It did not take long once Melon actually pulled the trigger.

And finally, Zalaka’s Zach Reyes received the nod over Tinian’s George “Kamikaze” Manglona, of Team Relentless, in their boxing exhibition match at 145 lbs by unanimous decision.

Reyes appeared the more conditioned fighter and maintained a good fast pace for all three rounds.

He rung Manglona’s bell in the second round, causing the latter to be checked by the doctor before being allowed to continue, and went on to dominate the final stanza.

To his credit, Manglona hung tough and made it through the storm.

Trench Tech’s next scheduled event is headlined Rites of Passage 12: Unstoppable and is slated for March 16, 2012.
