Doug Viney Wins K-1 Las Vegas Shocker
LAS VEGAS, August 11, 2007 -- Doug Viney came to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino carrying his own bags, inconspicuous in an entourage that included K-1 superstar Ray Sefo and World Grand Prix Tournament favorite Alexandre Pitchkounov. Viney had a minor role to play, he was slotted for the tournament reserve bout -- an undercard contest that takes place while the house lights are half on and the stands are half empty, long before pyrotechnics and music trumpet the "elite" fighters' arrival. But when the night was over, Viney was standing center stage with the tournament trophy and a spot in next month's K-1 WGP Final Elimination in Seoul. It is an understatement to say that this was one hell of an achievement for Doug Viney.
