The fans were totality excited while on the same show IKF Pro "Full Contact Rules" Middleweight World Champion Dave Marinoble (Right - Roseville, CA, USA, 17-1-2 with 8 wins by KO/TKO) faced off for a rematch with IKF Pro "San Shou" Middleweight World Champion Rudy Ott (Left - San Jose, CA, USA, 20-3 with 5 wins by KO/TKO) of their August 31st event in Redding California, USA. In Redding, Ott won the IKF Pro San Shou Middleweight World Title by unanimous decision, 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47. This time, Marinoble revenged his loss in this Pro San Shou bout. Marinoble changed his game plan focusing more on scoring with kicks and punches instead of throws. Stamina which seemed to be what Marinoble was lacking before proved to be a key factor in this bout. Ott was overwhelmed by the different approach Marinoble took which came from several factors. Keeping the pressure on through the entire 5 rounds, using more balance, control and not getting thrown made the difference in the end. This bout was fought with sheer blood, guts and determination of both fighters who both continued to again be Champions both in and out of the ring! In the end, Marinoble prevailed with a unanimous decision. With a win each now, do we hear the cry for a "Rematch" and the title on the line this time? Who knows, but regardless, these two are TRUE IKF CHAMPIONS! Here are the other results of this event below;
