Kevin Budziszewski A Fighter In the Making

Kevin Budziszewski(age 15) is considered to be one of the most feared and respected amateur fighters in the state of Wisconsin. He is currently training in the Trainers Elite facility led by tenth degree black belt and former professional boxer, Grand Master Ron Van Browning. As Kevin "Lights Out" Budziszewski trains vigorously for his next fight in the Golden Gloves, he faces his toughest fight yet. Andre "The Hittman" Pacquaio, an undefeated fighter from Milwaukee Wisconsin is scheduled to face off against Budziszewski on April Fourth, in the semi final rounds of the Wisconsin state golden gloves which will be shown on ESPN. Budziszewski-known for his ability to come back after hits that would leave most hospitalized, as well as his ingenious strategy-is currently 11-1, losing one fight by disqualification. Where his name may be complicated, however, his game plan is certainly not. "Im just planning on treating the fight like I always do", says Budziszewski, "I'll play it smart, obviously this fight may very well be my biggest fight yet, but I'm not planning on trying anything spectacular. has an incredible jab but if I can get inside it I think I stand a good chance. In all honesty every man has their art. Some are incredible mechanics where others praise their culinary abilities. My art is boxing; and I'm about to paint my masterpiece."

Budziszewski began his life as a natural born fighter. At the young age of seven, Budziszewski already knew that he wanted to go into boxing or the martial arts for a career. In February of 2000, Budziszewski began martial arts training at Karate America. His teachers noted right from the start of his contract that he was different than the other students. He disliked any childish games that were played, and his incessant determination, coordination, and concentration were unlike any the instructors had seen in a child his age. By the time Budziszewski received his Orange belt, he had become more knowledgeable and skilled than most of the black belts at the academy. After several years with Karate America, Budziszewski decided to pursue a path that focused more on the art of fighting, rather than the art of entertainment.

"Lights Out" was the nickname Budziszewski received in October 9th, 2006 after his second fight. Budziszewski was going into a fight that could easy be described by most as futile, against 134 pound undefeated welter weight champion Jeff Halstead. A minute and thirty seconds into the second round Budziszewski was up against the ropes, and it looked like game over for the rookie, who appeared sloppy, and tired. A minute and thirty four seconds into the round, however, the tides changed. Kevin struck Halstead with an earsplitting body shot. As Halstead groaned in agony and his head bent forward, Budziszewski threw a right uppercut that hit nothing but skin. As Halstead staggered backwards, he realized that this fight that he "had in the bag" was far from finished. After a series of traumatic blows to Halsteas's body and head, and a final left hook, Halstead was out cold, and it was "Lights Out", for the champion.

In 2007 Budziszewski, who was still doing martial arts, recognized Muay Thai as the superior form of fighting after a fight he had seen in person. Budziszewski soon began learning the art and eventually got even better at that than he was at boxing. He has had trainers and famous fighters come from all over the world to work with him, including Muay Thai legends Janjira Saekson and Samart Payakroon, as well as MMA legends such as Randy "The Natural" Couture and Chuck "The Iceman" Lidell.
