ShoXC Results for Sept. 26 “Reis vs. Cullum”

September 27th, 2008

Another great night of fighting from Showtime. Earning the first ever EliteXC 150lb. title is Wilson Reis, who was able to control the position of the fight over Abel Cullum to earn the judges nod. Cullum showed he deserved a chance at the tile as he did some amazing submission escapes and rocked Reis a couple of times during the fight.

Resario is a light heavyweight contender as he completely dominated the previously undefeated Seumanutafa, landing some sick knee’s to the body to secure the TKO win on Saturday night.

Malaipet put on a Thai Kickboxing clinic chopping the legs of the winded David Douglas in the second round. Now if any of his opponent would ever stand with him for more then a second he might actually win a fight. Douglas was able to pass his guard and gain full mount with no resistance to eventually pound out the Tahi fighter in the third round.

Wilson Reis defeats Abel Cullum by Unanimous Decision (48-47, 49-46 x2)
