Miami Stealth Overpowers NYC Attitude to Secure Semifinal Spot
By Mohamed Bahaa
In a high-energy showdown at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on July 21, 2024, the Miami Stealth triumphed over the reigning champions, NYC Attitude, with a score of 229-222, advancing to the Team Combat League (TCL) Season 2 semifinals. Coached by Herman Caicedo, the Miami team showcased remarkable prowess, securing an early lead and maintaining it throughout the match.
The Stealth’s initial momentum was unstoppable, winning four of the first six bouts. Despite NYC Attitude’s efforts to narrow the gap, coming within a single point in Round 13 after Kayla Yontef’s 10-9 victory over Katharina Lehner, Miami’s Yordan “El Diamante” Barrera extinguished their hopes with a decisive knockout of Eslih Owusu in Round 14. Barrera’s performance earned him the night’s first star award.
“This feels excellent. I train very hard to do that, especially when my team needs it,” Barrera expressed. She also mentioned that she appreciates NYC’s strong competition. Thanks to TCL, teammates hard work in the gym is paying off, and it feels like they’re on our way to winning it all.
Miami’s middleweight Raidel Rodriguez also shone, earning the second star for his victories over NYC’s Lasha Gurguliani in Rounds 6 and 19, both scored 10-9. The third star went to NYC’s Pryce Taylor, who secured dual 10-9 wins against Nestor Santana and Gustavo Trujillo in Rounds 8 and 23, respectively.
NYC’s welterweight Ryan Zempoaltecatl, a dual nominee for TCL Rookie of the Year and TCL Most Entertaining Fighter, had a mixed night, defeating Orestes Velazquez 10-9 in Round 12 but falling to Claudio Marrero by the same score in Round 20. Similarly, Yunieski Gonzalez, a nominee for the TCL Most Resilient Fighter Award, defeated Tre’Vaughn Jones 10-9 in Round 18 but lost to Atif Oberlton in Round 15.
Among other notable performances, Enrique Leon, a featherweight Rookie of the Year nominee, was defeated 10-9 by Opeyemi Adeyemi in Round 1. “Queen” Ronica Jeffrey, a former world champion and TCL Most Resilient Fighter Award nominee, won her bout 10-9 against Tyler Schaefer.
Miami’s welterweight Samantha Ginithan, a Rookie of the Year nominee, experienced her first TCL loss, dropping to 8-1 after a 10-9 defeat by NYC’s Feifilimai Faiva in Round 5.
NYC’s Lightweight Sherbek Rakhmatulloev had a fierce Round 3 with Miami’s Armando Rabi, featuring mutual knockdowns. Rabi emerged victorious 9-8, boosting Miami’s lead to 29-26.
Coach Herman Caicedo praised his team’s cohesion, saying, “We’ve been together the whole year and I’ve been able to coach them. They know what to expect. I believe that’s an advantage. I feel fabulous and I’m happy to be here.”
With this victory, Miami Stealth eyes the championship, driven by teamwork and relentless training.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis is once again finding himself on the wrong side of the law, and once again on charges that stem from an alleged domestic violence incident.

Miami Gardens police said on Oct. 29, a woman claiming to be involved in an intimate relationship with Davis since 2022 arrived at the police department with her lawyer, alleging Davis physically abused her.
“The victim reported sustaining minor injuries, including visible bruising to her left arm, at the time the report was made, and sought medical attention,” said Miami Gardens police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty.
Investigators said just days prior, surveillance video showed Davis arrive at a gentlemen’s club where the victim was working.
“The victim reported that Mr. Davis grabbed her by the back of her head, pulled her hair with one hand and by her throat and forcefully escorted her down a stairway and toward the parking garage while maintaining his grip on the back of her head,” said Jeanty.
Police said the victim was only able to get away after he released her.
This is not Davis’ first run-in with the law involving domestic violence. In 2020 he was seen grabbing his then-girlfriend by the throat at a celebrity basketball game.
In 2022, Local 10 News was there as he bonded out of the Broward County Jail after being arrested for allegedly hitting an ex-girlfriend in the face.
Most recently, in July 2025, Local 10 News was also there as he bonded out of the Miami-Dade County jail after allegedly striking the mother of his child in the back of the head.
A U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is assisting the Miami Gardens Police Department as they work to arrest Davis on new charges.
At last check, Davis was still not in custody as of Wednesday evening.
Local 10 has reached out to his attorney to see if they are aware of the warrant and if Davis will turn himself in, but has not heard back as of the time of this story’s publication.
