Da Crazy Hawaiian vs. Dumpling 2: Revisiting the first fight between the Power Slap 11 headliners
America's Da Crazy Hawaiian (real name: Layne 'Koa' Viernes) first fought Russia's Dumpling (real name: Vasilii Kamotskii aka Vasily Kamotsky) in October 2024. They headlined Power Slap 9 in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
The Hawaiian was penalized for flinching fouls in rounds one and three. He appeared to land stronger slaps and was relatively unfazed by Dumpling's slaps. Round five saw him seemingly wobble Dumpling. The fight's last slap came from Dumpling but couldn't hurt the American.
The point deductions, due to fouling, sparked speculation that Dumpling would win on points. However, the judges scored it as a majority draw (48-46, 47-47, 47-47). The Hawaiian defends his Power Slap super heavyweight belt against Dumpling again; this time at Power Slap 11 at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Jan. 30, 2025.
