Lion Fight Promotions presents “Schilling vs Marcus 2″ – Official Press Release and Fight Card!
The much anticipated rematch between U.S.A.’s Joe “Stich’em Up” Schilling and Canada’s Simon “Bad Boy” Marcus is set to occur on May 12th in Las Vegas. Once again these two heated rivals will step in the ring, put all talk aside, and let their fists, elbows, knees, and kicks do all the talking. However, while their first encounter included a much publicized “winner takes all” bet that would send the defeated fighter home with just $1, this bout will bring the victor an opportunity that may in fact be more important than their opponents purse money. Joe Schilling and Simon Marcus will be fighting for the opportunity to face Light Heavyweight World Champion Artem “The Lion” Levin on the WBC’s “Battle of the Belts” event on June 9th in Bangkok, Thailand in a world title bout. Both Joe Schilling and Simon Marcus have been very vocal about their desire to face Artem Levin and potentially become world champions. While the first bout between Marcus and Schilling ended with Marcus winning a decisive, yet to some a controversial TKO, Marcus agreed to face Schilling again in order to put the matter to rest. Since their bout, the usually outspoken Schilling has remained unusually quiet, by most accounts choosing to focus all of his energy on training for his upcoming rematch with Marcus. Meanwhile, Simon Marcus has kept himself busy recently defeating Kaoklai Kaennorasing in Bangkok to win a WPMF World Title and fighting in China.
Weekend Results! Adanza and Yamato score stoppage victories in Japan, Lindsay scores KO win at Bangkok Fight Night 12 in Atlanta
As you should have heard by now, pint-sized American Muay Thai sensation, Romie Adanza scored a 2nd round TKO victory over Tomonori Sato in Japan this past weekend to become the WBC Super Flyweight International title holder. Neither fighter had really edged out the other after Round 1, but in Round 2 Adanza landed a quick elbow that opened a deep cut on Tomonori Sato’s forehead, prompting the referee to stop the fight and have the doctors take a look at the Japanese fighters cut. The doctor felt the cut was much to deep to allow the fight to continue and thus Adanza walked away with the W. Although the fight didn’t allow Adanza to showcase his exciting style to the Japanese fans, it nonetheless was a brilliant victory for the exciting American fighter who continues to rise up the ranks internationally. Also on the card, Japanese fighter Tetsuya Yamato snapped a two-fight losing streak with a 1st round knockout victory over former Lumpinee Stadium champion Densiam Lookprabaht. Yamato landed a big left hook that floored the Thai, prompting the referee to give him a standing 8 count. Although Lookprabaht was back on his feet, Yamato wasn’t about to let the Thai off the hook. Yamato rushed the Thai and floored him once again, this time for good as the ref waved off the fight.

Once again our friend Jeff Dojillo and his entire team have put together a solid Muay Thai masterpiece of videos that showcase the growth of Muay Thai in the U.S. and some of the fighters that are putting U.S. Muay Thai on the map. Before last years historic M-One USA vs. Thailand event, photographer and now documentary filmmaker Jeff Dojillo brought us his “Into the Fight” series of interviews that helped Muay Thai fans learn more about the 3 American talents; Joe Schilling, Kevin Ross, and Romie Adanza, that would be participating in the event and facing off with the always dangerous Thai team. Due to the success of that series of videos and a request by fans to see more behind the scenes footage concerning the M-One USA vs. Thailand event, Jeff and his team got together and compiled all of their footage from that event, added in never before seen footage they shot after the event and decided to release a 4-part documentary series titled “Into the Fight: USA vs Thailand”.
