On Friday, January 13, Desperados Night Club was packed to capacity for FanBase Promotion’s four fight evening of boxing dubbed “Time for Truth.” This was easily one of the most hyped shows in recent Calgarian boxing history, featuring Adam ‘A-Bomb’ Trupish (9-0-0) of Windsor, Ontario, via Edmonton, Alberta, putting his NABA light middleweight championship on the line against Janks Trotter (7-0-1) of Calgary, Alberta. There was some bad blood brewing prior to the fight, with Trupish stating he was hesitant to face Trotter because, “it wouldn’t be much of a fight,” assuring his fans that, if and when the fight happened, he would “gladly whoop his ass.” The NABA champ took some heat for his brash comments but, after last night, few can question their validity.

As Trupish and Trotter went through their pre-fight routines in their respective corners, they looked roughly equal in physical stature. Trupish came in the taller man by two inches at 5’11”, but looked to have an even more significant reach advantage than his height would suggest. Trotter was in trouble almost immediately, being promptly dropped to the canvas by the champion. The Calgarian staggered to his feat, clearly in serious trouble, but was permitted to continue by the referee. With his man hurt, Trupish moved in to finish, forcing Trotter to hold on as best he could. Eventually, the referee was forced to separate the two, leading the weary Trotter to stagger the length of the ring. Moments later, the fight was over. Trupish floored Trotter for a second time, forcing the referee to call a halt to the contest at 1:12 of the first round. With the win, Trupish moves to a perfect 10-0-0, putting him hot on the heels of some international prospects and/or champions in the division. Read More
