Sacramento BOTB-October 6, 2012

A lot of talent will be on display for the Oct 6^th Sacramento Battle of the Badges. The Main Event will feature a rematch between the #1 ranked Light Heavyweight Matt Wurdinger, Santa Clara PD vs. the #1 ranked Super Middleweight Ricky Seward, Big Bear City Fire. Their first meeting was for the Gold Medal in the 2011 Western States Police & Fire Games, Ontario, California. Wurdinger and Seward showed everyone why boxing is referred to as the Sweet Science. Two well rounded fighters that have perfected their craft. High level counter punching, pin-point accuracy, perfect balance, a beautiful fight to watch. Wurdinger would get the win but it was not easy. Wurdinger has his eyes set on the UCA Light heavyweight Title. He will have to get through Seward a second time to continue his journey to the UCA title. Seward is moving up in weight to take on Wurdinger in hopes of securing a title shot.  The winner will guarantee himself a shot at the Light Heavyweight Champion James Davis, Folsom Prison.

Also on the card will be 3rd ranked Francisco Flores Stanislaus Co. SD taking on 4th ranked Larry Fernandez, CDCR Solano, Lightweights for the UCA NorCal Title.

Perhaps the most exciting fight on the card will be 2^nd ranked Brent Bugarin, Santa Clara SD vs. 3^rd ranked Neil Tremethick, U.S. Army, 147lbs for the UCA NorCal Title.
