Aloha Brawl Crowns its 1st Champion!!!

Local favorite Kaleo Hamano brawled his way through a 4 man tournament thrilling fans and winning the ALOHABRAWL belt along the way. Hamano who is the younger brother of famous fighter Taiki Hamano is known on the beaches of Hawaii for his happy-go-lucky attitude and his fists of dynamite. Hamano easily beat Japanese shootwrestler Yoshiki Takahashi in the 1st round with a choke. On the other side of the tournament, Hawaiian legend Akebono took on Japanese Karate fighter Tomohiko Hashimoto. Akebono was a legendary Sumo champion in Japan but is now trying his hand at ALOHABRAWL style fighting. Akebono managed to overwhelm the much smaller Hashimoto finally knocking him out in the 2nd round. The finals would be an all-Hawaiian affair with Akebono meeting Kaleo Hamano. Hamano would be fighting a man who weighed over twice as much as he did. The 1st round was Akebono's as Hamano was tentative and avoided exchanges. Akebono was quickly tiring and in round 2, Hamano pounced. Hamano unloaded a vicious assault on Akebono but ran out of time. Wasting no time in round 3, Hamano quickly managed to knock Akebono down and finished him off with punches on the mat. Hamano quickly rushed over to check on Akebono and told him "nothing personal brah" before celebrating with his older brother and corner men. Hamano will be a popular attraction here on the island and ALOHABRAWL will only get bigger.....
