Andrew “Benji” Vienamin vs Ben Serranno – May 1997, Ultimate Promotion 🔥🥊 Before the headlines, before the underworld reputation, there was a young fighter stepping through the ropes. Andrew “Benji” Vienamin, trained out of Ultimate under John Scida, was known around the Melbourne scene as a tough, no-nonsense competitor. He wasn’t flashy, he was aggressive, durable, and always pressing forward. The kind of fighter who relied on grit, pressure, and heart rather than finesse. This fight showed exactly that. Standing across from him was debut fighter Ben Serranno out of NSW, with Adam Watt in his corner. Despite it being his first fight, Serranno came in composed, technical, and sharp. Round 1 saw a major turning point — Serranno dropped Vienamin early, catching him clean and proving he belonged. But what stood out was Benji’s response. He got up, reset, and pushed forward, absorbing shots and continuing to apply pressure. No panic, no quitting, just toughness. That resilience became a defining trait of Vienamin. Outside the ring, he later became widely known as a significant figure in Melbourne’s gangland conflicts during the late 1990s and early 2000s, closely associated with key figures in the underworld landscape. His life was ultimately cut short in 2004, marking a violent end to a controversial chapter of that era. But this fight captures something different — a snapshot of Benji before all of that. A fighter. Focused. Determined. Dangerous in his own way. Serranno would go on to take the win via split decision, but both men left a mark. For Vienamin, it was never just about winning — it was about the fight itself. A raw, real piece of Australian fight history. #AndrewVienamin #BenjiVienamin #MelbourneUnderworld #UnderbellyEra #FightHistory #AustralianKickboxing #UltimateGym #JohnScida #AdamWatt #OldSchoolFights #FightRewind #CombatSports #90sFightScene #BoxingAustralia #MuayThaiAustralia #RingWarriors #SplitDecision #TrueFighters #FightCulture
