won his first professional match last week by knocking out the “Boogeyman” in the second round of the “Lights Out Extreme Fighting” event in Long Beach.
Sainsbury entered the octagon against Steven O’Bryant on May 18 with a three-inch reach advantage. However, his opponent had put on 24 pounds since their weigh in the morning before the fight, and Sainsbury was given the option to call the fight. He didn’t.The welterweights taunted each other during the start of the first round. By the end, Sainsbury, whose face was dripping blood, appeared to have a slight edge.
“One thing I have is a lot of heart and self confidence,” Sainsbury said. “I am super humbled and blessed to be here.” As a result of the win, multiple promoters are asking Sainsbury to compete at their events. He will need a few weeks to recover before he competes again.The comments below represent the opinion of the writer and do not represent the views or policies of CalCoastNews.com.
