I hope to win the Vendetta in even fights, have a lot of fun and avenge my loss to Allen at UAL 10 – said Herman Stevens before the fight with Allen Ford at the October Vendetta in Vegas.
His words came true. Thw fight was in the category up to 95 kg 191 - 210 lbs (Heavy weight), right arm. The final score was 4:2 for Stevens.
It wasn't easy, Allen is dominant out of straps – recalls Stevens. - It's hard to hold his hand, straps helped, I felt control, independent of my arm.
Stevens felt no big surprises during this fight.
Allen fought like I thought he would – says Stevens. - Considering how even we were at UAL 10, and that I have gained some strength since that time, I expected a win. It was a good fight, with changes in style between rounds. I fought outside, I hooked, I even fought without using my palm. I am very happy and am already going back to training. I am happy that I won.
Allen Ford doesn't look like a strong guy, but somehow he generates incredible power, at great speeds – said Engin Terzi of the fight. - He is a clever guy, with great technique, one of my favourite USA fighters. This was a battle of two technical guys.
