Big Men Prepare For Battle

With less than 4 weeks until the most anticipated fight card of the year two fighters with championship aspirations are logging many hours of road work, bag work, sparring and mental preparation. On Saturday April 11, 2015 #1 ranked Pierce Masse, Fresno Police Dept. will challenge Chris Lewis, Fresno Sheriff’s Dept. for his UCA Super Heavyweight State Championship title. Stablemate and trainer Bryan Williams, Fresno Police Dept. looks to make history when he returns to the ring to take on Louisana Battle of the Badges Champion James Moore, Monroe Fire Dept. for the UCA Masters Heavyweight Championship Title. Masse and Williams are pushing themselves harder than ever. Both fighters typically train out of Thrive Training Center in Fresno. However for this camp Williams set up a gym in his garage (aka Bat Cave) and trains himself and other fighters all hours of the day. “I can train whenever I want” Williams said. “If I feel like training at 2am when I get off work I change my clothes and come into my garage and workout.” Whether Williams and Masse are training in a Bat Cave or at a boxing gym they will be ready April 11th.  Doors open at 5pm, first bell rings at 7pm. The Smoke Joint will be serving their famous BBQ and the bar will be open. The Tachi Palace Resort & Casino is offering a special rate of $105.00 per night for the fighters and fans.
