Battle at Ballys - Take-on Productions

TaKe On Productions presented Battle at Bally's from the Bally's Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the organization's first full rules Muay Thai event. The pro/am card had 12 bouts highlighted by the main event and co-main event.

In the headlining fight, a clash between Philadelphia and New York, it was Justin "The Purple People Eater" Greskiewicz (Philadelphia) defeating Eddie Martinez (New York) via split decision in a razor thin fight. The action started right from the opening bell as the two combatants worked the clinch for most of Roun1. They both landed stiff elbows and knees making it a pretty even round. Later in the fight, Greskiewicz started to find a rhythm with his kicks as he was successful in keeping Martinez at a distance. For Martinez, at times he was the aggressor, but rarely found his punching range as Greskiewicz was very accurate with his leg attacks. The bout ended in great fashion with both men throwing everything but the kitchen sink at their opponent. Bloodied and bruised, both combatants can be proud of their performance as it was fight of the night.

In the co-main event, Nick Vaughan defeated Jessie Cronier via TKO in Round 2. It was a back and forth contest similar to the main event, until the end. Vaughan was relentless in his attack and once Cronier was hurt Vaughan finished the fight with several hard elbows and punches. In winning the bout, Vaughan also becomes the first TaKe On Amateur Championship.
