ECW 16: Gale Force - November 30th, 2002 - Texas
Main Event - ECW Light Heavyweight Title
LHJoshua Hope 10-0 © vsCal Hillson 7-0
Bad blood arose during the build up and Hillson refuses to touch gloves, both men come out swinging, but Hope is more precise in his striking and holds an early edge.Hope's defense is excellent as Hillson is throwing wild looping bombs, landing very few and eventually leading to Hope getting a takedown in the 3rd, where he locks Hillson in a choke, that the latter fights off.Hillson is gassed by the 4th and goes down from a hard right late in the round, Hope steps up the pace in the final round and poleaxes Hillson with a straight right, rendering him unconcious!
Joshua Hope beats Cal Hillson by KO (punch) in 0:22 of rd 5 (Good) retains ECW LH Title

Gutierrez chops Hersch down with leg kicks and rattles him early, Hersch does get a takedown but Julio has the answers
LHJerry Bogdonovich 12-1 beats MacGregor Dare 6-1 by TKO (strikes) in 3:38 or rd 1 (Great)
A wicked uppercut from 'The Dockland Destroyer' plants Dare and J-Bog follows it up with vicious ground and pound
WWGus Fitzpatrick 9-0 beats Lloyd McAllister 16-6 by KO (punch) in 0:57 of rd 2 (Good)
Biding his time waiting for a title shot, Fitz endsrather uneventful tuneup with a single devasting right hook
HWGuy Broom 7-1 beats John Fitzwallace 10-6 by unanimous decision 30-27, 30-27, 30-27 (Poor)
A complete sloth-fest full of leaning on each other and pitty-pat punches that goes to the "busier" man

Wrap up
Hillson, whose pre-fight antics did not endear him to his home crowd was exposed as Hope used precision striking and patience to drag him into deep water, outclassing him along the way.Gutierrez calls out Hunter Scribbins (You would think he would want Monroe) after his win, while Bogdonovich requests a rematch with Rupert Dreck, the only man to beat him, and Guy Broom calls out Damien Jones, cold on the heels of his underwhelming win.Our popularity gains in order are for the US, Canada, Mexico and ECW Fightcast makes enough of an impact in the latter countries to be considered a success, we clear $189,940 with revenue of $162,715 coming from advertising and subscriptions
