Main Event – Jones vs McIntyre

The Main Event of the Central California Battle of the Badges features the UCA Super Heavyweight State Champion Cleon Jones, Yolo Co Corrections defending his UCA Belt against a young, hungry challenger, 2nd ranked Shay McIntyre, CDCR Folsom Prison.  Jones is widely regarded as the best Super Heavyweight in California and is well aware of the challenges that await him. He knows he has gone from being the hunter to the hunted and he must train even harder than he did to win the title. On Saturday April 19, 2014 Jones will see a familiar face standing across the ring from him.  Jones and McIntyre have shared the ring once before. On October 6^th, 2013 McIntyre was a civilian fill in on the Sacramento Battle of the Badges card. McIntyre would pick up a razor close decision win over Jones. McIntyre has since become a Correctional Officer at Folsom Prison and looks to knock off the Champion once again. McIntyre hasn’t been in the ring since fighting Jones.  After the McIntyre fight, Jones was anxious to get back in the ring and challenge the best in the division.  On April 20, 2013 Jones met the former 2nd ranked Rahsaan Harrison, LASD, for the Super Heavyweight Title at the Richmond Battle of the Badges. Jones used his reflexes, timing, counter punching and athleticism to claim the UCA State Title.  You can expect much of the same from the crafty southpaw when he faces the young, up and coming Shay McIntyre, CDCR Folsom Prison for the Super Heavyweight State Championship Title.

The Central California Battle of the Badges event will take place at the Historic Hanford Civic Auditorium. Doors open at 5:00 and the first bout will begin at 7:00pm. General Admission tickets are $30 and Pre sale ticket prices before April 14^th, are $25.
