DSC_4186 (518x800) The LA Battle of the Badges Main Event featured another LASD vs LAPD rivalry.  #1, Mike Frazier, LASD vs 5th ranked Bert Castaneda, LAPD for the UCA Heavyweight Championship Title. It was clear to everyone Castaneda needed to make it a pressure filled grinding fight if he wanted to defeat the undefeated #1 ranked Frazier. Frazier is as slick as they come and may be equipped with the fastest hands and best footwork in the game. Castaneda had his moments and was most effective when he drove Frazier back to the ropes with pressure and a barrage of punches.  Frazier would use his jab and elusiveness to stay out of danger. The first two rounds were tough to score and the title was up for grabs going into the third and final round. Castaneda would land some thundering overhand rights but Frazier’s experience, ring generalship and ability to control the fight sealed the win for him. With the win Frazier keeps is record unblemished, solidifies his spot as the best Heavyweight in the country and becomes the new UCA Heavyweight Champion. Moving forward the fight that makes the most sense for Frazier’s first title defense is 3rd ranked, Ryan Hotchkiss, Barstow Police Dept.  Just the thought of a potential bout between Frazier and Hotchkiss has public safety boxing fans excited.

The Quiet Cannon is a hot bed for boxing and has been showcasing Public Safety boxing talent since it opened its doors. Friday night was nothing short of another exciting night of boxing featuring the best Public Safety fighters in the game. This card was amazing to watch. The LA Battle of the Badges will go down in history as the most talent stacked cards. Aside from 4 UCA Championship Title fights there were six, #1 ranked fighters, one, 4th ranked fighter, three 5th ranked fighters and one 8th ranked fighter.  What a night of boxing.
