Punch Drunk Promotions & the Snoqualmie Casino presented another sold-out Rumble on the Ridge Saturday Mar 5th inside the ballroom at the casino. A total of 11 fights took place, 5 of them pro bouts. Strikeforce fighter, Lyle "Fancy Pants" Beerbohm, was cageside acting as the commentator alongside Jeff "The Fish" Aaron, for broadcast on FSN Northwest (soon to be Root Sports).

 

 

In the main event, Twin Dragon's Justin "Psycho" Larsson got a KO victory when he caught CJ Marsh 2 minutes into the 1st round with a shot that sent Marsh to the canvas. Larsson rushed in and quickly forced ref Ryan Hoisington to step in and stop the contest, handing Marsh the loss in his pro debut. Larsson, who took the fight on a couple days notice, gets his 2nd KO win in 2 consecutive weekends.

 

Robert Morrison and Ryan Hayes met once before in an amateur title fight in 2009 that Morrison won via TKO after 4 rounds. In the rematch between these now pro fighters, both stood and traded kicks and punches throughout the bout, with it never once even hinting at going to the ground. In the end, the judges saw it correctly for Morrison who was able to outpoint Hayes in all three rounds.

 

In other pro action, Charon Spain battled Roy Bradshaw for nearly two rounds before securing an arm triangle to finish the fight and move to 6-2. Sam Sicilia goes to 2-0 after spoiling Marc Fosyth's pro debut with a 2nd round Rear Naked Choke. 

 

Ian Williams won his pro debut by way of a 1st rd submission of David Quinton. Six amateur bouts were on the undercard, including the amateur 135 lb title bout won by Shane Friesz over Chris Wheaton via TKO by strikes midway through the 5th round. 

 

Rumble on the Ridge 18 will be held May 14th. More info at SnoCasino.com.
