The 911 Fight Night Boxing Event takes place Saturday August 18, 2018 at the Shaun Diamond Plaza in Pomona CA and will be headlined by #1 ranked Dusty Rodriguez, Santa Monica Fire Dept vs the UCA Welterweight Champion Mike Delery Los Angeles Police Dept who will be moving up a weight class in hopes of capturing the vacant UCA Jr Middleweight crown.  Aside from both fighters being extremely talented and having superior boxing skills they have something else in common, they have both been in the ring with the former Interim UCA Jr Middleweight Champion 2nd ranked Chris Martinez, Fresno Police Dept.  Taking into account the styles of Rodriguez and Delery this fight promises to be a memorable slugfest. Who better to ask to break down the fight than the man himself, Chris Martinez. 

Ring Generalship: I think Rodriguez is a solid boxer. He has a strong foundation and knows his way around the ring. Delery is another solid fighter but has less ring experience. I think Rodriguez can control the pace of the fight but Delery will have to bring the pressure in order to pull off the win. Both fighters have displayed good timing and patience in past fights, but no one wants to see that, everyone wants to see them bang it out.  

Mental/Focus: Rodriguez is a strong fighter mentally and physically. Rodriguez works hard to prepare for his fights and is focused while under pressure in the ring. Rodriguez is a patient fighter, which makes him dangerous. Delery also works hard to prepare for his matches. Delery is an athlete who is in great shape. I think Delery is going to have to make Rodriguez respect him by landing something hard in the first round and keeping Rodriguez busy and moving. Delery has to stay focused and not allow Rodriguez to control the pace of the fight. Prior mental preparation is key for both fighters. Who will be the one to work harder to prepare for this fight? Who will have the stamina to constantly bring pressure during the entire fight?  Who will stand firm during the storm and counter with explosiveness? Who’s going to have the heart to push beyond their limitations to bring home the title?

Speed: Delery has decent speed and good footwork. I think Delery is going to have to throw more than Rodriguez and keep moving, while fighting from the outside, throwing different combinations. I believe Delery has the reach and the ability to fight Rodriguez on the outside. Rodriguez has decent speed but more importantly he throws from different angles. I think Rodriguez can play two parts in this fight. Rodriguez can bring the pressure, cut the ring off and smother Delery or he can be patient, time it right and explode on Delery.

Power: You never know a fighter’s power until you stand on the receiving end of a punch. Rodriguez has explosive power that comes out when least expected. Unfortunately, I did not go the distance with Delery to feel his power. Delery put me down with a well-placed punch to the kidney. I felt some of Delery’s other punches, but I didn’t get into a good exchange with him to feel him bring it, so I can’t give a good review on Delery’s power. Rodriguez has a stiff jab and a solid right. His basic punches are solid, which sets up his hooks and upper cuts. I honestly don’t think Delery can fight Rodriguez on the inside.

Footwork: Rodriguez has good footwork and has a solid foundation. You hardly every see him stumble over his own feet or lose balance. This discipline works to his benefit. Rodriguez closes the distance well and is a well balanced fighter. Delery has decent footwork. He has a solid foundation, but I think he is going to have to move and outwork Rodriguez to win this fight. Rodriguez will have to stalk Delery, bring the pressure and make the fight uncomfortable for him.   

Defense: Delery does a good job at keeping his hands up to defend himself. Rodriguez does the same but he also knows how to counter after being touched. Both fighters have great defense, but this can be a boring fight if they decide to both wait.

Toughness: Both guys are tough, respectable fighters. I think this will be a good test for both of them. I think whoever wants it more will be the tougher fighter during the fight.

Cardio: Rodriguez is in great shape. I’ve seen Rodriguez give it his all, during all three rounds. I’ve seen Delery come out throwing a lot of punches during the first two rounds, but he slows down during the third round. I know Delery is not taking Rodriguez lightly, so I’m sure he will be prepared to give it his all.

Prediction: I think Delery is going to have to stay busy, throwing lots of punches and keep Rodriguez thinking. Delery has to be in top shape to fight this way. Rodriguez also has to train hard and stay disciplined. I think Rodriguez will have to cut the ring off, bring pressure, and let his hands go. This is a fight I will be at. Either way it goes, I respect both fighters, they have to expect the unexpected and don’t take each other lightly.

The UCA Jr Middleweight Championship title fight between Mike Delery, Los Angeles Police Dept and Dusty Rodriguez, Santa Monica Fire Dept was canceled at the scale this morning. The UCA Welterweight Champion Mike Delery was moving up to the Jr Middleweight division to take on the #1 ranked Dusty Rodriguez in an attempt to pick up his 2nd title. In a stunning development the #1 ranked Rodriguez was unable to attend the official weigh in due to a family obligation and safety concerns about the weigh in. Rodriguez said, “I will not weigh in the day of the fight. Its unhealthy for anyone to wait until a few hours before competing without proper hydration and food intake” Delery came in 3 pounds under the contracted weight of 154 pounds. The UCA Jr Middleweight title will remain vacant.

The #1 ranked Remin Pineda, LASD came in 3 pounds over the contracted weight of 160 lbs. “I sat in the steam room and ran but I couldn’t get the last 3 pounds off” Pineda said. This is the lowest weight Pineda has ever fought at. When asked, “When was the last time you weighed 160?” Pineda said, “When I was in high school” The fight will still go on tonight but if Pineda wins he will not win the UCA Middleweight Title. The title will remain vacant. The undefeated Kellen Kramer, Bell Garden Police Dept weighed in at a ready 157 lbs. 10 fights are scheduled for tonight’s 911 Fight Night. Doors open at 5pm first fight at 7pm. Tickets will be sold at the door. Don’t miss 911 Fight Night outdoors at the Shaun Diamond Plaza, 171 West 2nd Street Pomona California.

Kellen Kramer, Bell Gardens Police Dept. and Remin Pineda, Los Angeles Sheriffs Dept. put on a “Fight of the Year” performance Saturday night at the 911 Fight Night Event in Pomona, CA. When the final instructions were given by the referee and the fighters touched gloves it was on. Kramer came forward throwing punches like he had 6 arms. Pineda tried to block and move his head but the punches kept coming. Pineda absorbed a lot of blows and somehow was able to remain standing and fire back. Kramer continued to turn up the heat, making it a rugged fight, essentially throwing the kitchen sink at his opponent. Referee Tom Taylor momentarily stopped the action in the 2nd round to give Pineda a standing 8 count from Kramer’s unanswered punches. Pineda bounced back with punches of his own to finish the round. Going into the 3rd round Pineda needed a knockout to win. Kramer did not play it safe and protect his lead he showed no mercy and continued his onslaught until the final bell. What a fight! Ladies and gentlemen the Middleweight division has a new face. And the new….UCA Middleweight Champion Kellen Kramer, Bell Gardens Police Department. Kramer is a fun fighter to watch and has people asking when he will be back in the ring. Kramer’s next fight will be announced soon. To see results of all the fights visit the results page.
