There is a new Cruiserweight Champion and his name is Brian Stevens from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. When you have great talent you have a great fight. That’s what Brian Stevens and Jamaal Brathwaite, Orange County Sheriff’s Dept brought to the SoCal Battle of the Badges Saturday night. Two of the division’s most revered fighters collided in a pivotal bout to determine who the best fighter in California is. From start to finish it was action packed. Stevens and Brathwaite displayed tremendous talent and the ability to deal with adversity.  Stevens had to get off the canvas, and Brathwaite had to deal with the range and movement of Stevens. Brathwaite had the advantage in power but Stevens movement and ability to keep Brathwaite at the end of his punches was the difference that earned him the win.  When it comes to Public Safety boxing few do it better than Stevens and Brathwaite.  The UCA is honored to have had two class acts fighting for the UCA Title.
