Results – RFO: Big Guns 16 – The Summit

We are live at the Summit County Fairgrounds in Tallmadge, Ohio, where tonight RFO: Big Guns 16 – The Summit goes down.

One of the biggest events in RFO history, the main event of tonight’s 15-bout card features a pair of veteran professional featherweights squaring off as Cleveland native Frank “The Tank” Caraballo (14-7) takes on South Carolina’s Keith “Rockstar” Richardson (14-6). Caraballo has won his last two fights in a row, including victories over UFC veteran Tommy Hayden and the well-respected Cody Stevens. Richardson has won four in a row while competing for the North Carolina based Fight Lab promotion.

In the co-feature, a pair of fast-rising heavyweights will square off as Curt Lemmon (4-1) takes on Jeff Hughes (3-0) in a pivotal bout. Lemmon is coming off of the first loss of his pro career to John Hawk earlier this year, while Hughes has been unbeaten through three bouts with all three coming via stoppage.

A third pro bout was scheduled to feature a pair of middleweights, but Kyle Dunmeyer (0-2) failed to show up to weigh-ins for his scheduled bout against Tony Dipero (0-0, 9-7 am).

In the amateur main event, Rich Cantolina (12-7) will defend his featherweight title against challenger Adli Edwards (6-1).
