In part one, we begin by recapping the fights on that show.
On the card's main event superfight, Renzo Gracie won a controversial split decision victory over Carlos Newton. We speak with both Renzo Gracie and Carlos Newton right after their fight.
The IFL World Team Championship title was won by the Quad Cities Silverbacks, coached by Pat Miletich, who won four of five fights over the Portland Wolfpack, coached by Matt Lindland. We speak with both Pat Miletich and Matt Lindland about their teams as well as their own plans for the future.
In part two, we speak with Big Ben Rothwell, the heavyweight for the Silverbacks who is undefeated in IFL competition. He scored a first-round TKO over Devin Cole of the Wolfpack. We speak with two fighters from Renzo Gracie's New York Pitbulls, Andre Gusmao and Erik Owings, who each won their superfights on this card. And we speak with boxing and entertainment publicist Keisha Morrisey, who gives us her evaluation of this event.

Travis Simms vs Jose Antonio Rivera, read the preview
South Carolina Boxing Report by the Professor
Date: Jan 5 2007 12:21 PM
TRAVIS SIMMS, DOWN SOUTH GETTING RIGHT FOR WBA 154lb CHAMPION JOSE ANTONIO RIVERA
Travis Simms and WBA ..1 Middleweight Contender Randy Griffin have been in Columbia, South Carolina, training for their upcoming fights. Simms has strong ties to South Carolina having fought here several times over the years.
WBA Champion "In Recess" "Tremendous" Travis Simms takes on the current WBA Super Welterweight Champion Jose Antonio Rivera in a much anticipated fight on the undercard of the James Toney vs. Sam Peter heavyweight rematch.
Simms is anxious to reclaim the title he won from Alex Garcia and Rivera is eager to prove himself to be the true champion. Both fighters are from the New England area and are familiar with each others style. This should make for an emotional and exciting fight for the fans.
Travis Simms is hoping that this fight will put him back on track after being out of action for over two and a half years due to legal and personal issues. Jose Rivera is coming off one of the most impressive performances of 2006 against Alex Garcia, after moving up from the welterweight division.
According to all reports, both fighters are in excellent shape for this fight. With so much on the line for Simms, expect him to be at the top of his game and give the performance of his life.
Both Travis and Randy Griffin have considered coming back to train in South Carolina again. With access to two great boxing gyms, White Rock Boxing Gym and Palmetto Boxing and Fitness, Simms and company have been able to get in some great work.
The recent influx of top professional boxers training in South Carolina could be the spark that takes boxing to another level here and hopefully lead to bigger fights in these parts.
The fights take place on January 6th, 2007 at The Seminole Hard Rock Arena in Miami,Florida.
Francisco "El Gato" Figueroa, Roman Karmazin, Guillermo Jones, Laura Ramsey and Ijeoma Egbunine are also fighting on the card.
