Allentown, PA - December 13, 2025: The scene for fighting Saturday was the packed Parkview Inn Ballroom. The United States Kickboxing Alliance (USKA Fight Sports) debuted their New Attitude Boxing (NAB) card in addition to their traditional kickboxing card.
The boxing (#118) debuted in the afternoon with nine fights, including three of which were championship events. The kickboxing (#119) started in the evening and had ten fights on the card. The cards did not disappoint as every fight was very competitive and had fans on their feet.
In the first ever NAB championship match, Sabrina Lorenzo, Algeo MMA (King of Prussia, PA) challenged Alaina Dutill, CFS Academy (Shillington, PA) in a three-round 115 pound fight. Lorenzo won the fight by unanimous decision. This dual could turn into a real rivalry as there is no doubt that Dutill, as well as Lorenzo, look forward to a rematch.
In the second championship boxing match, Noe Bello, Algeo MMA, challenged Bryan Torres-Rivera, Semper Fi MMA (Philadelphia, PA) in a three-round 175 pound title fight. Bello won the close fight by split decision.
In the third championship boxing match, Mitchell White, Gracie 717 (Lancaster, PA) challenged Joe Morgan, Hellfish MMA (Chalfont, PA) in a 185 pound title fight. Morgan won this very close fight by split decision.
After the main boxing fight, Morgan had this to say: “Boxing has always been such a political sport, you’d see fighters lose close decisions because one fighter is favored by a promoter or given matchups to build some fighters easier than others.” He continued by saying: “But Muay Thai and kickboxing has always been about putting on the best fights for the crowd’s entertainment, where win or lose, both fighters could be celebrated.” “NAB has taken their experience from that world and brought that same excitement and passion into the sport of boxing.” “It was an honor and a pleasure to be apart of their first event and I can’t wait to see where things go from here,” he said.
USKA President Gary Grant Jr. had this to say about the new NAB: “The first NAB show was a great event.” “Every single fight delivered with all fights going the distance.”
Grant also spoke about the process of getting NAB going: “There was a lot of politics being played behind the scenes with the various national governing bodies.” “Threats to possible card fighters were made and either some fighters backed out or their gym pulled the fighter’s application because of the pressure of potential retaliation.”
Gary said: “Our five-round title fights with no head gear were hugely entertaining.” “The Lorenzo v Dutill fight was a huge upset, making Lorenzo the 115 pound champion.” “Bello defeating Torres-Rivera was by far the fight of the boxing night, making Bello the 175 pound champ.” “And the main event saw Morgan continue his win streak as he defeated White for the 185 pound title.”
Here are the complete results of the boxing matches:
125 JR - Andrew Waybright (5 Stones Boxing) unanimous decision over Julian Brown (Kings Corner Boxing).
155 JR - Jake Riedlmeier (Washington Boxing Academy) unanimous decision over Ryan Vargas (SMF Striking).
137 - Khalif Middleton (Skeleton Crew Fight Club) unanimous decision over Joshua Tricoche (Five Stones Boxing).

175 - Dyaus Rai (Kings Corner Boxing) unanimous decision over Gregg Jose Castillo (unattached).
115 - Sabrina Lorenzo (Algeo MMA) unanimous decision over Alaina Dutill (CFS Academy).
175 - Noe Bello (Algeo MMA) split decision over Bryan Torres-Rivera (Semper Fi MMA).
185 - Joe Morgan (Hellfish) split decision over Mitchell White (Gracie 717).
On the kickboxing card, the sixth fight of the evening featured a local District XI student-athlete who is a senior at Liberty High School. Kendra Cressman has been involved in mixed martial arts for more than six years now and has attained her black belt. She trains at Tiger Schulmann’s in Bethlehem, PA and is currently on the Liberty girls wrestling team. She has been grappling since the inception of the girls wrestling program.
Cressman won her 130 pound fight Saturday night by unanimous decision. "I think I performed very well." "My hard training and long days with both school wrestling and then MMA training helped me tremendously in my win," she said. "The event overall was very well run, the staff was positive and helpful in making sure we were where we needed to be."
In the main kickboxing bout to close out the night, there couldn't have been a more explosive battle. Colin Hartey, fighting out of the blue corner for Algeo MMA, knocked out Joshua Lawler, Renzo Gracie PA, with about a minute to go in the first round. This was a donnybrook right from the bell.
Lawler was aggressive and attacked Hartey early with kicks and a right jab. Hartey missed with an uppercut and Lawler hit Hartey with a stunning right hook which knocked Hartey back into the ropes. As both fighters backed away from the ropes and circled, Lawler attempted a right kick to Hartey’s head but he left himself wide open and off-balance. Hartey blocked the strike and immediately took advantage of the opening by hitting Lawler with a wicked left hook which knocked him to the canvas. Lawler was able to stand for a ten count but afterward was still a bit dazed. Hartey finished the fight by putting his left foot on Lawler’s right cheek which resulted in Lawler falling like a tree to the canvas. The blows exchanged by both fighters were some of the hardest of the night and the crowd certainly reacted to each strike.
Grant Jr., who has now organized 119 fights in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey, spoke about Saturday evening’s fights, saying: “The evening show was amazing and in front of a packed house, it was all Muay Thai and kickboxing.” “There were a great mix of knockouts and fights going the distance.” Gary continued: “The Hartey and Lawler fight was a huge finish to a superb night…the KO has gone viral and was the KO of the entire day.” “We will be back in 2026 starting in February and we’re planning many great events in great locations.”
Here are the complete results of the kickboxing:
175 - Keble Bennett (Zombie BJJ) first round TKO of Andre Gordon Jr. (Daniel Gracie Delco BJJ & MMA).
150 - Harrison Coron (Broadstreet Kickboxing) second round TKO of Brendan Rivera (Black Sheep Mixed Martial Arts).

170 - Colin Hartey (Algeo MMA) KO of Joshua Lawler (Renzo Gracie PA).
Throughout the day, and especially for the close championship/main events, the judges had a difficult task in scoring the fights as each and every fighter battled. There were a few fights where fighters and fans had a different opinion of who should have won, leaving some disappointed. However, as one fighter was overheard saying: “It’s back to work, and it’s my fault for leaving it that close and up to the judges…next time I won’t allow that to happen.”
