LONE STARS - L.A. IS WORLD CHAMPIONS

TULSA – The walk off home run, the last second jump shot and now the game winning knockout, the latter is courtesy of light heavyweight Raymond Daniels. The story of the Stars goes farther back than the moment Daniels landed one of the meanest head kicks in World Combat League history. The comeback win for L.A was the completion of a season filled with lofty external expectations and even bigger internal team goals. With their victory over the New York Clash, L.A went wire to wire as the league’s number one collection of fighters. A dominant regular season gave way to two come from behind wins in the playoffs and a title game for the ages with the Eastern Conference champions.

Leo Valdivia and Jason Bourelly started the show. Bourelly used his speed advantage early, landing strikes on the inside and out. An accidental head butt halted the fight with 58 seconds to go. Valdivia had a nasty cut right above his left eye and the fight went to a judge’s decision, leaving both men disappointed with the 14-14 tie.Back to back wins by Brandon Hastings and Jack Felton gave L.A 45-33 lead.

The heavyweights took center stage, where New York’s Patrick Barry put on another impressive performance this time against newcomer Matt Thomas. Thomas came out firing early. Barry side stepped the opening 30 second barrage and took the fight over.

Scoring multiple knockdowns from leg kicks and well timed punches Barry won the fight going away 17-3.
