New York Pitbulls qualify for IFL playoffs

by Jeff Gorman

The New York Pitbulls locked up the final spot in the IFL playoffs with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Dragons on last weekend’s IFL TV show.

The series began when Brent Beaupartlant won the middleweight fight for Toronto. His opponent, Fabiano Leopaldo, suffered a separated shoulder.

New York evened the series when light heavyweight Andre Gusmao (4-0) beat Wojtek Kaszowski at 3:53 with the rear naked choke.

Toronto went back up 2-1 when lightweight Wagnney Fabiano defeated Erik Owings, but New York welterweight Delson Heleno tied the score on another injury stoppage. This time, it was Gideon Ray of Toronto suffering a dislocated right elbow.

It all came down to the heavyweight fight between Rafael Feijao of Toronto and Marcio Cruz of New York. Cruz got the win on a disqualification after Feijao was called twice for using knee strikes on his downed opponent.

In the IFL semifinals, the Pitbulls will take on the Tokyo Sabres. The regular-season champion Los Angeles Anacondas will face the Quad Cities Silverbacks in the other semifinal. Both team series will be taped on Aug. 2 in East Rutherford, N.J.
