AFC 8 April 14th

4 fighters that use the Comox Valley Boxing Club as one of their training facilities will be squaring off next weekend in Victoria at the Bear Mountain arena. The event is AFC 8
Nathan Swayze (2-2) vs Derek Mrak (0-0) 205
Alexi Argyriou vs Guy Gauthier 155
Chris Anderson vs Bronson Petterson 185
Dustin Joynson vs Dylan Moore Heavyweight
They have been using the Boxing club as a meeting place most Tuesday and thursdays night for sparring. CVBC is known for its great sparring program bringing fighters in from all over the island. 
I have watched and been on the on the receiving side of many of brutal workouts these talented athletes have endured and know that they will be in ready to be at their best on fight night. Andrew Buckland has had in hand in their training.
 Swayze is coming off a 3 round battle against Brad Robinson at AFC 7 where he won by decision. Since then he has been juggling a business (Vancouver Island Masonry) a family and trying to find time to train for next fight. He is also training follow teammate Mike Hackert for his fight against Tim Hague. This might be too much for 99% of us out there. Nathan is the type of guy that thrives from  that. He will be the best " Roadhouse" that ever entered the cage. Mrak might only have a record of 0-0 as a pro but has been in the cage many times as an amateur. This will be not be an easy match but Nathan wont dissapoint. This one might not go the distance.
 Guy Gauthier took his last fight on a few days notice against a veteran to combat sports Johnny Williams. Not only was it short notice but it was his first fight. He might not have one that fight but it was very close and if he had any experience he would have come out on top. He is up against one of Zuma's young prodigies. This will be a big test for both of them. I am looking forward to see this match.
 Chris Anderson vs Bronson Petersen. This is a huge grudge match. These guys hate each other and I highly doubt that this one will go the distance. They both possess great talent but Anderson has been putting in the time to get better every day. This one can go either way win one punch.
Dylan Moore used to be 10 thaousand pound. Just kidding. He was around 300 and had to make 265 to be at the maximum weight to be in the HW division. Not only has he made that weight he keeps trimmimg up and getting more agile. Dillon has been going toe to toe with Mike Hackert holding his own so I dont see him being scared of any punches. His opponent is from Zuma so we know that he is working as hard and is getting top training as they have probably the best coachiing in Canada. This one might come down to who has the biggest heart and who can go the distance.
 There is a lot of talent forming out of the North Island. More then ever before. I am very happy to be of the part of it.
 There is a deal on cvbc members and family for rooms at the Bear Mountain Resort. For more info please contact Elma at the club. For tickets to the event go to http://www.armageddonfc.com/
