Andrade Wins RFL Title

“El Torro” Alex Andrade (8-4) won a five-round unanimous decision for the Revolution Fight League Middleweight Championship over John Troyer (8-2) Saturday night in Louisville.

Andrade’s best round was the second, when “El Torro” bullied Troyer to the mat and pounded away.  Troyer scrambled into an Andrade leglock at the end of the round; but, the bell rang before Andrade could work the technique for a tap.

Troyer won the stand-up exchanges; but, Andrade put the fight on the mat and rode out the UD.

“Duke” Brian Geraghty (20-12-1) put “Beast” Dustin Neace (15-12-1) to sleep in a triangle choke at the end of round three for a rare choke KO.

“Big Wave” Dave Mewborn (5-0-1) of Athens’s Hardcore Gym tapped Heath Davis (2-2) in a rear naked choke in round one.

“Ironman” Robert Thompson (4-2) knocked out “Chocolate Nightmare” Courtney Ray (7-7) in round one to end a two-fight losing streak.

Bryan Goldsby (4-3) earned a TKO “W” over Matt Troyer (2-2) due to referee stoppage in the second round after a gutsy stand-up battle.
