In what would turn into one of the most unique events I personally have ever attended or covered, BKFC New York crowned a new heavyweight champion in the rematch between Joey Beltran and Arnold Adams, with Adams coming out ahead on the judges’ scorecards unanimously.
Adams, who won their first matchup, was able to make an immediate impact almost stopping the fight in the first round by keeping Beltran on the end of his punches thanks to him utilizing his 79.5-inch reach. The rounds final bell would save Beltran but in rounds two and three Beltran would adapt and come out and look to clinch and work the dirty boxing and bodywork to earn some rounds.
