Tokyo Sabres qualify for IFL playoffs
by
Welterweight Antonio McKee won a unanimous decision over Mike Dolce to give the IFL’s Tokyo Sabres a 3-2 win over the Portland Wolfpack.
The Tokyo win aired on June 29 on Fox Sports Net and ensured the Sabres a spot in the IFL playoffs.
Also winning for Tokyo were heavyweight Orvil Palmer and light heavyweight Vladmir Matyushenko.
The IFL semifinals are set for Aug. 2 in East Rutherford, N.J. The matchups are the Sabres vs. the New York Pitbulls and the Los Angeles Anacondas vs. the Quad Cities Silverbacks,.
I do like the idea of the team concept, although it’s going to take a while to catch fire. The key is to build loyalty, so the fans really care about seeing their hometown team win.
