On March 31st, the San Andreas Fighting Association hosted their Finale of the first SAFA Amateur Series. Through three events that built up to this final moment of competition, the main card fight became the most anticipated fight of the year so far between Leslie "Riverboy" Gunnell, and Louvell "Fantome" Cevon. The two have fought through several fights throughout the SAFA's series, which has led them to compete for the Grand Prize Pool of $160,000 USD. The event featured other fighters such as Lucas "LEEZ" Yang, Jackie "THE BULL" Sassano, Frank "GYRENE" Raynor, and Tomas "GUZ" Guzman.

The event saw a large crowd and anticipation to support their fighter of choice. Fans and spectators chanted, screamed, and cheered on their pick - some being disappointed, while some thrilled at their victories. After a successful event, the winner of the SAFA Amateur Series saw Leslie "Riverboy" Gunnell come out on top, winning a total of $160,000 - despite suffering injuries that had him transported to a nearby hospital.

Riverboy becomes the first ever SAFA First Amateur All Weight Rumble Champion.
