Ivan vs JorgeJorge Caamal, LASD vs. Ivan Guillermo, LAPD have been one of the best rivalries in Public Safety boxing and will always be linked thanks to the epic battles they engaged in with one another. A new rivalry with the same magnitude is building between Brian Stevens, LASD and Jamaal Brathwaite, Orange County Sheriff’s Dept. These two mega talented Police Olympic Gold Medalists will face each other a second time this summer.   Agua Caliente will once again play host to the UCA State Championship, when Stevens puts his UCA Brathwaite vs Stevens 5Cruiserweight Title on the line to take on Brathwaite, in perhaps the most anticipated rematch in Battle of the Badges history. On July 21, 2012 both fighters entered the ring with perfect records and ranked #1 and #2 in state. Stevens scored a decision win over the highly skilled Brathwaite to claim the UCA Cruiserweight Title. Stevens would give Brathwaite his only defeat and leave the ring with the belt and title of best fighter in California. The rematch will happen nearly one year from their first encounter.  Both Brathwaite vs Stevens 3fighters are anxious to meet again and prove they are clearly the better fighter. Team Stevens is putting together a solid game plan for the rematch. They are bringing in fighters similar to Brathwaites style and traveling to different gyms. Brathwaite accepted the judge’s decision in the first fight but plans on handling the decision himself in the rematch. Public Safety boxing doesn’t get much better than this. Mark your calendar for this one. This is a fight you don’t want to miss.
