KFL: Friday Night Fights (February 27, 2015)

The opener was basically what we expected; a hard-fought contest between two guys looking for bigger opportunities. In the end, hydraslash proved to be too much to handle. Only time will tell if the result is productive, but they brought it tonight. Good match for both.

Struggling to find success as a unit, dibula & UlcaTron both scored singles wins this week. UlcaTron's win looked more impressive in a vacuum, but since he's previously shown himself as the stronger of the two, we're not that surprised. Still, there's something to be said for going out there and ending with your arm raised. Could be a real confidence builder going forward.

Count redman with the crowd who came to play this week! He looked strong, almost as if he and Zentile were not in the same league! Scoring a +4 impact is sure to make redman's direct competitors take notice. Perhaps he's ready to finally take that next step!

It would seem that the fighter who has benefited most from the calendar turning to 2015 is none other than zebraska! Dead last in the KFL last season, zebraska has already tripled his win total from 2014! Sitting at 3-2, he's currently just outside the league's top ten! However, I think it's best to bring him along slowly. No sense rushing him to the spotlight, only to get crushed.

Some fringe contenders strengthened their cases this week, with NovaStarr, jack4813, and Nephrite all picking up wins. Nephrite's victory was the best of the three, because it put an end to the 5-0 start of nightbreed_16! Not to take anything away from the formers, because they earned it out there too, but stopping an undefeated run really gives you a boost in the eyes of the fans. It did wonders for TNR when he defended his belt against the 8-0 record of 4avenger5, as he held it for another month after that match. This win is sure to spring Nephrite up the ladder! I don't think the defeat hurts nightbreed_16 too much; he'll just have to get back in line.

Looks like Shoe & Murdoink might have something to say about who the best team in the KFL is! Retaining their "United" moniker, they made it look fairly easy out there against two of the top dogs in the division, Jerrod & Killswitch. If this is the seeds of a rivalry being planted, I'm really excited to see where it goes.

LordSkarlet now stands alone as the only undefeated fighter in the KFL this season, though he's only just reached 3-0 now. A modest win streak to be sure, but because it's LordSkarlet it serves as notice to the other contenders. Defeating CTR is no easy task, and he got it done.

Two weeks after their Undisputed Championship encounter, m0s3pH and VenoMark collied again under the banner of the KFL! A real treat for the fans, the two heavy hitters put on a great match. Since VenoMark will be defending his belt next week, the match was non-title. Not sure the result does anything for either man right now, but it serves as a warm-up for the KFL Champion, who has not been in action since the tournament began.

I'm not sure that I had him picked from the start, but your new #1 Contender is DeathScepter! With the win, he also moves into the overall #1 rank, befitting of his title. I'm already looking forward to the title match next week! BMK has been a bit of a hard luck guy since originally going solo last year. He's back with Onryo now, but I've always wanted to see him take that next big step as a singles competitor. For now, it'll have to wait.
