This weekend The Level Up Fight Team was back at it again. The Team made its first trip to fight in New Jersey. The show was Warriors Cup <\/strong>which\u00a0is one of the best Muay Thai shows on the East Coast. The Cup is\u00a0WBC sanctioned making it one of the important events\u00a0to fight on in the US. The card would feature two National WBC Title Fight<\/strong>s as well as two amatuer title fights. Level Up was originally slated to have Jared Tipton and Patrick Rivera both fighting on the card. Unfortunately we were informed the week of the fight that Jareds opponent was unable to compete.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Patrick would be facing a tough opponent Joe Bastone<\/strong> of Impact Martial Arts. Joe has a winning record of 5-1 with a couple knockout finishes. We knew our game plan needed to be sound and executed properly. Patrick is a very strategic and smart fighter. To win the fight he used all the weapons available to him. Mixing his boxing, leg kicks and some strong clinch work Rivera was awarded a Unanimous Decision. After the result was announced to two fighters hugged in a show of mutual respect for one another. Seeing this type of sportsmanship is always a great thing.<\/span><\/p>\n
