"RUMBLE IN ROCHESTER 6" FILLED WITH TOP NOTCH AMATEUR KICKBOXING BOUTS
In kickboxing circles, Rochester NY is well know for being the home of USKBA Heavyweight World Champion Dan "The Lizard" Lucas. Unfortunately, due to the New York State Athletic Commission, the USKBA is not permitted to sanction Professional Martial Arts in New York, and thus prevents Dan Lucas from defending his title in his hometown. For this event, Dan had to be content with cornering his fighters and helping out with the 'promotion' duties. The matchmaking on this event was terrific as every fighter gave all that had in the ring. Although "RUMBLE IN ROCHESTER 6" featured the 'new generation' of Full Contact Kickboxers, the enthusiastic crowd thrilled to the 'special senior exhibition bout' between Ellwyn Roberts and Jim Louth. They made all of us proud to be in the sport of kickboxing. USKBA

NEW JERSEY BUDGET SIGNING NOT QUICK ENOUGH FOR "RING OF COMBAT XI" AT THE TROPICANA IN ATLANTIC CITY
"RING OF COMBAT XI" was scheduled for Friday, July 7, 2006 at The Tropicana in Atlantic City, New Jersey. On Thursday night, July 6th, the decision had to made whether to prepare The Showroom for the show, or not. The Tropicana needed to set up The Showroom. Even though it looked like the budget was going to be passed and signed, Governor Corzine said that it would take from "24 to 36 hours" to have everything signed, sealed and delivered. This meant the State employees, among them the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, would not be able to return to work until everything was accomplished. The decision was made to cancel the show. In hindsight, this was the correct choice. The casinos did not open for business until Saturday morning, July 8th. Normally one does not hear about the behind-the-scenes frantic situations before most of these events. But this time, something should be said about the hard work and rushing around that was done to try to make this event happen. This was not just for the thousands of fans who purchased tickets to "RING IF COMBAT XI", but for the fighters who trained hard and were ready to get into the ring. Promoter Louis Neglia constantly met with The Tropicana to see what could be done. Even Commissioner Larry Hazzard and General Counsel Nick Lembo, of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, had worked hard to get a crew of Officials that were ready to work the event. Unfortunately, it was beyond their control and the event had to be canceled. As this cancellation was definitely a set back for Mixed Martial Arts, with the fighters that are in the New Jersey area, promoters like Louis Neglia and a Commission like the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board, New Jersey is still on course to being 'The Mecca of MMA'. For information on the rescheduled "RING OF COMBAT XI", call 718-372-9089, or visit the Ring of Combat website at: www.ringofcombat.com. |

FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON "RING OF COMBAT XI", CONTACT THE TROPICANA
Tropicana's hotel, restaurants, and shopping in The Quarter are open for business. This also includes the Tropicana Showroom entertainment venues and IMAX Theatre movies as well. Please tune into your local news station or check back here on Tropicana's website at www.tropicana.net for further updates. Thank
you, From USKBA ACTION SPORTS... As of the time of this posting (12:00 noon EST, Thursday, July 6, 2006), the fighters are arriving in Atlantic City and we are on our way down there. Governor John Corzine is in a meeting to discuss the status of the budget and the resumption of having State employees (both 'essential' and 'non-essential') report back to work. The employees of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (classified as 'non-essential'), have offered their services, without getting paid, in order for "RING OF COMBAT XI" to go on. This included the services of Commissioner Larry Hazzard and General Counsel Nick Lembo. Unfortunately, the answer from the State was 'no'. Governor Corzine has told the State Senate and Assembly to work out the issues by 'today'. In addition to 'working it out' by today, a motion has been brought to have the members of the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board be classified as 'essential' as thus will be able to work the event tomorrow. It looks like many things are being done to have this show go on! |
