MATT WARD SET TO FIGHT TYLER SMITH ON AUGUST 16 IN FLORENCE, AL
Aug 15, 2014 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Growing up, Matt Ward was always a shy and quiet
kid, yet competitive and athletic. So after high school, he wanted
to try something new and decided to give mixed martial arts a try.
He found Triad Martial Arts and has been there for eight years. He
has been quite successful so far and was undefeated as an amateur
and is 1-1 as a professional fighter.
On Saturday night, Ward will face his biggest test to date when he goes up against Tyler Smith from Memphis, TN. Smith is also 1-1 as a pro, had over twenty five amateur fights, and is one of the most athletic fighters in the region. When asked about this fight, here is what Ward had to say:
“My opponent seems very explosive and fearless. He’s not afraid to
get in your face and go for the win. I feel like I’m the more
technical fighter, but he has fight experience on me. I’d like to
win this fight however I can whether it be submission, knockout, or
TKO, it doesn’t matter, but I would like the finish. I don’t trust
judges. My strength as a fighter is my ground game, but I’m feeling
comfortable on my feet these days. I’m extremely excited to have
this opportunity. I’ve been trying to get on V3 for a year now. I
have no ill will towards my opponent, he’s a competitor as am I.
After the fight I will shake his hand and thank him for the
opportunity. As far as my prediction on the fight, I’ll just say
second round TKO.”
This fight is an early candidate for “Fight of the Night.” Fight fans, you definitely do not want to miss this one!
