Sâmbăta I made the trip west from my London home to the beautiful city of Cardiff for the Owen Watkins promoted event at the Ice Arena Wales.

The event was due to be headlined by the much anticipated all Welsh Heavyweight title clash between Hari Miles and Dorian Darch, for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) European Heavyweight Championship. However the fight had to be postponed as Darch was unable to take part due to a suspension he received following a fight on a different event a few weeks prior.

Despite this setback Owen Watkins had decided that the show must go on and I for one am pleased he made that choice, as the planned undercard featured a number of top class amateurs I have been looking forward to watching making their professional debuts.

First up was debuting Carl Thomas versus Kyle McNicholas in a four round Light Heavyweight Contest.

Both lads started really well exhibiting their respective boxing skills.

As the round progressed Thomas stepped up the pressure, backing McNicholas onto the ropes and began letting rip with shots to the body and head of the Liverpudlian.

As the round progressed into the final minute Thomas landed a cracking right to the head that shook McNicholas to the core, Thomas followed up with a left to the body followed almost immediately with a big left to the body that sent McNicholas to the canvas.

Surprisingly McNicholas made the count, they sure breed them tough on Merseyside, as that was a vicious body shot just below the lower rib, you just don’t see people get up after those that often.

On the restart Thomas went straight back on the attack, firstly firing off a stiff jab followed by another stinging left to the body and a double right to the head.

Thomas kept up the pressure, peppering McNicholas with a wicked body-head combination followed by another good stiff jab to back McNicholas into a neutral corner before letting rip with a sensational left hook to the body, that sent McNicholas down for a second time.

Referee Roger Riley began the count and as it just reached the eight count point McNicholas began to try and rise without success, leaving the referee no option but to wave the fight off just as the bell tolled to signal the end of the first round.

I’m pleased to say that McNicholas was perfectly OK and did get to his feet shortly after.

My final thoughts on this particular fight are; it may have only lasted one round but what a cracking round it was.

Next up see Kacper Dudzinski making his pro debut against Belfast’s Michael Kelly in a four round Super Welterweight contest.

Right from the off Dudzinski got behind his seriously strong jab and began controlling the proceedings with fast hands and stiff double jabs.

Kelly is no mug, nici vorbă de așa ceva, he’s as savvy as they come, but even he had to concede to taking a defensive stance and patiently wait for any opportunity, no matter how slender, to counter, which to be honest were few and far between.

Dudzinski seriously impressed against Kelly and has a fantastic future in the sport.

It may have been his debut, but based on his performance sâmbăta noapte, against a former genuine title challenger, I reckon he’ll go all the way to the top and deserves it too, anyone who can keep Kelly on the back foot the way Dudzinski did for virtually the full four rounds is without doubt something special.

Don’t get me wrong Kelly landed some cracking shots but Dudzinski’s sensationally fast hand speed and superb defence kept those opportunities to the bare minimum.

Nice little touch from Kelly late in the final round, following a ‘matrix style’ reaction move, that almost prevented him touching a glove down, totuși, much to his annoyance he received a count from referee Chris Kelly, although Kelly was convinced he’d actually had avoided his glove touching the canvas, but instead of standing there and protesting he dropped down and proceeded to do push ups throughout the count to show his disapproval, mult spre deliciul mulțimii.

After four brilliant rounds it came as no surprise that it was Dudzinski whose hand was held aloft – the official result showed Dudzinski scoring his maiden pro victory by a 40-35 Marja de puncte.

Next up was Ben McGivern versus Ben Hough in a four round Cruiserweight contest.

Ce o luptă, McGivern mainly bossing the proceedings, forcing Hough on to the back foot as well as the ropes for a good chunk of the first stanza. Hough may have been on the defensive for a good part of the first but when the opportunities arose he took them in style.

It was virtually a complete turnaround in Round Two, with Hough wrestling control and putting McGivern on the back foot, and ropes, similar to the way the Scot had bossed the first round.

The third stanza was a much closer fought affair, so much so I found it hard to split them, points wise.

The fourth started out more or less as the third ended, with both protagonists going for it hammer and tongs, but as the Round progressed McGivern stepped up the pace enough to not only secure the round, but also the victory.

After four sensational all action rounds, as I gave away above, it was McGivern that came away victorious, referee Roger Riley scoring the excellent contest 39-37 in favour of the Scotsman.

Following the fight both boxers agreed to a rematch, which I have been reliably informed is likely to take place in Liverpool on 08 septembrie – put the date in your diary this is a fight no one should miss!

The penultimate fight of the night see Blackwood, South Wales’ Liam Preece versus very, very late replacement Pentrefoelas, North Wales’ Steffan Hughes in an all Welsh contest.

What a corker this fight was, it was an all action thriller from start right through to the final bell.

Considering Preece had a considerable weight disadvantage to deal with, he really went for it, taking the fight to his more experienced, and heavier, adversar.

Preece boxed confidently not only when on the attack but also when defending against the pinpoint accurate exocets launched by Hughes.

Preece was impressive throughout, and I’m sure it didn’t surprise anyone in the Ice Arena Wales when referee Chris Kelly’s scorecard was read out as a 40-36 points victory for the South Wales Lad.

The final pro fight of the night pitted highly rated former amateur star Port Talbot’s Levi Griffiths versus Liverpool’s Scott McIntyre.

Griffiths is so slick, the classy youngster began well and landed some stinging shots, which forced McIntyre to switch to ‘plan B’ early on in an attempt to keep on the inside to prevent the Welshman from getting his big shots off.

McIntyre’s plan B may not have been pretty, but boy oh boy it was highly effective.

After the initial ‘open’ perioadă, which allowed the slick Welshman to achieve a good level of success, the majority of the fight could have taken place in a phone box.

McIntyre clearly had no intention of giving Griffiths any opportunity to let rip with any big shots, he just kept him tied up throughout, sometimes by foul means, so much so that after numerous warnings for holding or not breaking when told, referee Roger Riley deducted a point, however even that point deduction wasn’t going to prevent the Liverpool man from securing the victory, the official score being 39-36.

Trebuie să spun, whilst personally disappointed that the Miles-Darch WBF European title fight didn’t take place, promoter Owen Watkins had put together such a top class support card that I, as well as am sure everyone else in attendance had their Pugilistic Appetite well and truly sated by the fare on offer and look forward to his next promotion, which will take place at the Cwrt Herbert Leisure Centre in Neath on the 22nd September.

Stoppage Win Over Martinez Sets Khan on Course For Another Title Shot

Raport: Gianluca Di Caro – Photos courtesy of Joe Ibbotson.

 

It may have been the coldest weekend of the year in the UK so far, but the icy cold conditions sâmbăta night didn’t prevent the fans turning out to support local hero Tasif Khan as he faced Mexican Champion and former WBC World Title Challenger Juan Lopez Martinez on the Bridie Murtagh (Saorise Promotions) promoted Dinner Event at the Royal Taj (formerly the Connaught Rooms) in Bradford.

 

The importance of the fight clearly wasn’t lost on any of Khan’s fans, their man may already have secured World Boxing Union (WBU), Global Boxing Union (GBU) and World Boxing Confederation (WBC) World Championships over the past couple of years, but a victory sâmbăta would mean that Khan, who is already highly ranked by the International Boxing Federation (IBF) in their Intercontinental Ratings, would be eligible to mount a challenge for the prestigious IBF Intercontinental Championship in the Summer as the first step to mounting a potential future challenge for the coveted IBF World Crown.

 

Prior to the first fight of the night, Master of Ceremonies Sam Gorman gave a moving eulogy to British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) Vice-Președinte (Scoția) Kenny Barr, who tragically passed away in December at the age of just 34, which was followed by a standing Ten Bell tribute.

 

OK now let’s get onto the the main event, a ten round non-championship Super Flyweight contest between the aforementioned Tasif Khan and Juan Lopez Martinez.

 

The atmosphere was electric as the protagonists made their way to the ring with the entourages in support waving their respective countries flags and in Khan’s case also carrying his many Championship belts. After the pre-fight razzmatazz and introductions it was down to business for the young Gladiators.

 

Right from the opening bell both men began to cautiously vie for Centre-ring, Khan utilizing his superior reach to take effective control and force his more experienced opponent on to the back foot.

 

About the midway point of the round Khan began to step up the pace, landing some big shots to both body and head, each time Martinez stood his ground and countered with good effect.

 

In the second it was more or less the same, with Khan taking the initiative and actively attacking, whilst Martinez remained content to counter when the opportunity arose.

 

Round three see Khan step up the pace further, utilizing superior hand speed and slick movement to land a some sensational shots, the most notable was a huge right to the chin late on in the round. Martinez was clearly shaken, but still thinking clearly enough to change his tactics and tie the Bradford man up on the inside to prevent further big shots landing.

 

Initially Martinez took the fight to Khan in the fourth, in doing so landed a sensational hook to the head of Khan. However this tactic just played into Khan’s hands and the Bradford man came back with some sensational combinations each time the Mexican mounted an attack.

 

As the round progressed into the second minute, Khan caught Martinez with another big shot which sent the Mexican back towards the ropes, Khan stepped in and let rip with a double handed flurry culminating with a big left hook to the body, which sent Martinez to the canvas. Martinez made the count and made it to the end of the round by tying up Khan on the inside again.

 

Round five see Martinez utilizing the tying up Khan on the inside tactic more, and at times looked outclassed. Khan’s superior ring-craft really came into play as the round entered the final minute, the confident persona Martinez carried in the early rounds was now gone, Martinez was beginning to try and slow Khan’s scintillating pace down to a crawl, constantly grabbing hold each time Khan mounted an attack, before letting rip with uppercuts at every opportunity, much to the dismay of Khan’s corner, who were shouting at their man to work off his jab and keep him at a distance.

 

Round six see Khan confidently begin to wear Martinez down further with fast double handed flurries and powerful combinations to both body and head. At more or less the half way point of the round Khan broke loose from another attempted holding session from Martinez and fired a couple of stiff jabs, before stepping in with a huge hook to the body. Martinez immediately collapsed to the canvas and was clearly distraught, however the tough Mexican tried his hardest to make it to his feet before referee James Ancliff’s count reached its conclusion, albeit unsuccessful in doing so.

 

The official time for the stoppage 1 minute and 32 seconds of the sixth round.

 

Preceding the Khan-Martinez headline bout was a six round Super Middleweight contest between Bardley, Lincolnshire’s unbeaten Nathan Decastro and very late replacement Malcolm Richardson from Blackpool.

 

Originally IBF Ranked Decastro was due to compete against Ghanaian Philip Kotey, who had arrived in the UK but fell ill vineri noapte. More disappointment for Decastro as a win over Kotey would have also positioned him for a potential shot at an IBF title later in the year.

 

Right from the off it was clear that Decastro was intent on making a statement, the Bardley man closing of the ring and letting rip with power punch after power punch. Richardson’s made of stern stuff and stood his ground and countered with good effect. However as the round progressed towards the second minute, Decastro switched to the body, landing a massive body shot that sent Richardson down.

 

Richardson made the count, in fact following the knockdown went on the front foot and landed a couple of good shots of his own, but Decastro’s relentless power shots got the better of the Blackpool man and with about 40 seconds of the round to go Decastro caught him with a huge body shot to send him to the canvas for the second time, this time though Richardson didn’t make it to his feet before referee James Ancliff’s count reached it’s conclusion.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 2 Minutes and 30 secunde de primul tur de scrutin.

 

Prior to Decastro-Richardson it was time for a Heavyweight contest between Askam-in-Furness, Cumbria’s Lee Kellett and Belfast, Northern Ireland’s Ryan Kilpatrick.

 

What a cracking fight, both lads gave there all for the full four rounds, much to the appreciation of those in attendance.

 

After four highly entertaining all action rounds it was Lee Kellett that scoring referee James Ancliff decided was the victor by a 40-36 Marja de puncte.

 

Next up was a four round Super Lightweight contest between Newcastle’s Jak Johnson and Liverpool’s Paul Peers.

 

Ce o luptă, it was a true Battle Royale, these two warriors gave no quarter, and it was a seriously top class battle. The first couple of rounds were exhausting to watch, pure toe-2-toe action from start to finish, so much so that this contest rightly earned the accolade of the Fight of the Night.

 

The third though see Peers in the ascendancy, the Liverpool man steeping up the pace as well as switching his focus to the body of the Geordie with great effect, so much so that around the midway point Peers sent Johnson to the canvas with a pin-point perfect shot to the lower rib.

 

Johnson made it to his feet but in the dying seconds of the round Peers found a way through Johnson’s excellent defence to land another shot to the lower rib to send Johnson down for a second time, this time Johnson couldn’t make it to his feet to beat referee James Ancliff’s count.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 2 minutes and 59 seconds of the third round.

 

The opening bout of the night sees Aberdeen’s Nathan Beattie in action against late replacement Belfast’s Marty Kayes.

 

Beattie-Kayes was a purist’s dream fight, it was one seriously closely fought and highly technical contest, which wouldn’t come as any surprise to those in the know, as these two had fought each other previously.

 

After four closely fought rounds scoring referee James Ancliff’s score card read 40-37 in favour of Nathan Beattie.

 

There were due to be two further contests on the card – Obadai Sai vs Isaac Quartey and Patrick Okine vs Saidi Mundi, however these contests failed to take place due to only Quartey and Okine receiving their visa in time to make the trip to the UK.

It was announced earlier today that Kenny Barr, Vice-Președinte (Scoția) of the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) and Scottish representative for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) passed away yesterday.

 

Kenny, who was just 34 ani, leaves behind his beloved daughter Hayley.

 

Gianluca Di Caro, CEO and Executive Vice President of the British & Irish Boxing Authority made the following statement on social media earlier.

 

“I am in total shock, I just cannot begin to describe the way I am feeling right now, I just cannot believe that BIBA Vice President (Scoția) Kenny Barr has passed away, it just makes no sense to me at all.

 

My sincere condolences to Kenny’s family and friends, my thoughts are with you at this time of immense sadness.

 

Kenny has been by my side since the inception of the British & Irish Boxing Authority and he was there by my side when we first began sanctioning events in the UK under the Malta Boxing Commission banner and I just cannot believe that he will not be by my side as we grow bigger and stronger over the coming years.

 

Kenny was the main man for BIBA in Scotland, it was his determination and passion for the sport that made us so successful in Scotland.

 

His passion for the fighters is undeniable, they were always first and foremost in his mind, helping them in any way he could. Helping them to achieve their dreams, that was his true passion.

 

I’m going to miss seeing your beaming smile mate, as well as your angry scowl, I’m going to miss your passionate debates, and I’m going to miss us working together pioneering fighter and event health and safety. I promise you Kenny that we will continue to fight the fight to make this sport better, safer, and continue to help the fighters achieve their dreams.

 

Rest in Peace Kenny, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten xxx.”

 

The Board, of the British & Irish Boxing Authority, as a whole join Mr. Di Caro in sending their sincere condolences to Hayley for the loss of her father, as well as to Kenny’s family and many, many friends.

MBA Revokes Billy Corito’s License in Unprecedented Style

Lasă un comentariu

Social Media was buzzing yesterday with the news that Malta’s most famous, internationally, professional boxer Billy Corito had his Malta Boxing Association (MBA) license revoked, ahead of his 22nd September fight

 

The fuss on Social Media wasn’t so much about the fact that MBA President Mr. Michael Bonello had decided to revoke Mr. Corito’s license, but the reason why and the unusual method he chose to inform Mr. Corito that they had chosen to do so.

 

Without doubt these days Social Media is proving the simplest way for getting information disseminated as quickly as possible, but it does seem highly unprofessional, even possibly unethical, though to inform Malta’s best known boxer via WhatsApp of the decision.

 

Totuși, whilst Mr. Bonello’s decision to utilize Social Media to inform Mr. Corito of the decision probably wasn’t the wisest of choices, in itself that particular faux pas pales in comparison to his chosen statement, which was “Hi Billy, I know you are boxing. As you know you will be losing your MBA license. I am sorry I will not back you up this time”. Billy Corito’s response was a simple “OK thanks”

 

Following receiving the news Mr. Corito immediately contacted Mr. Charlie Cardona of the Malta Boxing Commission (MBC) și dl. Gianluca Di Caro from the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) to ascertain if either would be willing to license him, or as in the case of MBC relicense him, both of whom agreed.

 

Last year Mr. Corito, who was previously licensed by the MBC for a number of years, was forced to hand back his MBC license by the MBA before they would license him to fight on an event sanctioned by themselves.

 

Speaking from his home Mr. Corito said.

 

“I was shocked at Michael’s message, it makes no sense, I am the face of Maltese Boxing, everyone knows me.

 

The MBA wanted me to fight on their shows, so I did, but now they don’t want me to fight on MBC shows, which is childish.

 

I don’t like politics, Sunt un boxer, vreau să lupt, I want to fight not just in Malta, I want to put Malta on the Boxing map.

 

When I was with the MBC before I got to fight in England, but with MBA my only option is to fight here in Malta only, so really I am not worried, more angry the way they did it.”

 

 

-End-

Pro Boxing Returns To Afghanistan

Lasă un comentariu

Înapoi în 2012, Germany based Afghan Hamid Rahimi beat Tanzania’s Said Mbelwa to secure the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Middleweight Intercontinental title in front of a one thousand strong crowd in Kabul, Afganistan.

 

At the time it was hoped that this historic event, which was also broadcast live to Millions of homes throughout the Country, would herald the long awaited return of regular Professional Boxing events in Afghanistan.

 

Some five years later, it seems that finally the sport of Professional Boxing is set to re-establish itself, following The Afghanistan All Martial Arts Federation (AAMAF) joining forces with the British & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) to develop boxing in the region as well as sanction events throughout the Country.

 

On jointly announcing the new partnership, AAMAF General Secretary Shukrullah Fazili said;

 

“It is exciting to establish the agency of BIBA federation in Afghanistan.

 

It’s a big honour for both of us.

We will do promotion and development of BIBA in Afghanistan and will hold national events and seminars and attend all international tournaments, seminars and more.”

 

BIBA Vice President Gianluca Di Caro then added;

 

“I cannot begin to express just how honoured I and we (BIBA) are that fellow Association of Combative Sports Commissions member the Afghanistan All Martial Arts Federation chose to approach us to partner with them with regard to the development of professional boxing within Afghanistan as well as the sanctioning of boxing events.

 

I am so looking forward to returning to the Pashtūnistān region. The memories of our first foray into sanctioning boxing in the region just over a year ago are just so vivid.

 

Back then we proudly sanctioned the first ever Professional Boxing event in Pakistan, on behalf of two division World Champion Amir Khan, to raise much needed funds to enable the Amir Khan Foundation to build fresh water wells in the Tharparkar District, one of the most desolate and poorest regions in the world today.

 

I believe that this new partnership between the AAMAF and BIBA will not only see the sport develop further in the region, but also present the opportunity for Afghan boxers to make a name for themselves internationally.”

Ringside Report by Gianluca Di Caro

 

 

Vineri seară, doar 24 hours before local hero Tony Bellew’s showdown with David Haye, Merseyside fight fans turned out in force for a little pugilistic aperitif at Hanger 34 in Liverpool for an event hosted by local promoter Kyle Gallagher.

 

Boy oh boy were they in for a cracking night of boxing to whet the appetite for the big fight, as in terms of action and drama the fights themselves were quite possibly not that far off being on par with those from the 02 in London the following night.

 

Heading up the event was local unbeaten prospect Dayle Gallagher, in action against Northern Ireland’s Michael Kelly, however as the Liverpool lad had elected to open up the professional element of the show, for a change I’m starting the report from the first fight rather than last.

 

Right from the off Gallagher took centre ring and began to pressure his more experienced opponent. Kelly though used his vast experience to good effect to contain the fast starting scouser.

 

As the round progressed opportunities arose for Gallagher to let rip with some cracking body-shots, Kelly though is well schooled defensively wise, which prevented the young prospect getting too many opportunities before the end of the round.

 

Round two was a much more open affair, so much so that there was some great toe-to-toe action, much to the delight of the assembled crowd.

 

Gallagher started to get into a good flow in the third, often backing Kelly up before letting rip with short sharp flurries to body and head. The Irishman held his ground and comfortably boxed his way out of trouble on numerous occasions.

 

More of the same in the fourth, albeit being fought at higher pace compared to the earlier rounds, Gallagher backing Kelly up before letting rip with combinations to body and head, as before Kelly countered with good effect.

 

With the fans egging their man on, the pace in the final minute or so was nothing short of frenetic, with both men landing some seriously heavy shots as they slugged it out.

 

After four highly entertaining rounds, it was Dayle Gallagher’s hand held aloft by Referee Matt Scriven, who scored the bout 40-37.

 

Following Gallagher-Kelly see local lad Jonny McConville making his professional debut against Northern Ireland’s Phil Townley.

 

Ce o luptă, McConville really was impressive in his controlled approach, taking the fight to the Irishman and dictating the proceedings for much of the time.

 

Considering it was his debut pro contest, the youngster had the confidence to showcase his skills to great effect, throughout the fight McConville was able to cut off the ring in style before landing some classy combinations as well as some seriously big shots.

 

Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t all one way traffic, Townley is always game for a good scrap and was more than happy to trade shots, landing some crackers of his own, but it was the young Liverpool lad that was definitely in control.

 

Townley got cut from a big punch late in the third, which seemed to ignite the blue touch paper for the young Merseysider, who noticeably stepped up the pace.

 

In the final round McConville kept up the pressure, backing his opponent up on numerous occasions before letting rip with big shots, followed by some classy combinations.

 

In the final thirty seconds of so of the round McConville stepped up the pace once more and backed the Irishman onto the ropes before letting rip with a torrent of power shots, Townley struggled to counter so opted to cover up, with no counter punches in sight from the Irishman, referee Matt Scriven had no option but to step in and stop the fight on the two minute and forty five second mark.

 

Next up was the highly anticipated Heavyweight bout between Sean Turner (1-0-0) and Belfast’s debuting Ryan Kilpatrick.

 

What a cracking contest, for as long as it lasted that is, both lads went to war right from the opening bell. The crowd were on their feet as the big men went toe-to-toe, each letting rip with a salvo of powerful exocets.

 

As the clock edged towards the second minute, Turner found the slightest of openings, stepped back a touch and let rip with a massive shot to the body to send the big Irishman to the deck. Amazingly Kilpatrick managed to get back to his feet before the count concluded.

 

Right from the restart Turner went on the attack, letting rip with further big shots, the final salvo producing a pin point accurate massive shot to the oblique that sent Kilpatrick to the canvas for a second time.

 

Unfortunately no matter how hard the Irishman tried to get up in time to beat the count again, he just couldn’t do it, leaving referee Matt Scriven no option but to wave off the contest on the one minute and twenty six second mark of the first round.

 

Side note on this bout, both men really did excel, the quality of the shortened fight was nothing short of sensational. I for one can’t wait to see both fighters in action again and hopefully in the future against each other once more.

 

The final fight of the night see unbeaten Craig Kennerdale in action against the highly entertaining and experienced Irishman Marty Kayes.

 

Right from the off Kayes went on the front foot, taking the fight to his younger opponent. The savvy Irishman then proceeded to make life as difficult as possible for Kennerdale.

 

Kennerdale responded well and as the round unfolded managed to get himself on equal ground, which wasn’t easy as Kayes kept digging into his well stocked locker for shots, and let’s say entertaining ‘professional’ moves, to throw a spanner in the works and disrupt the Merseysider’s game plan.

 

As the second round progressed Kennerdale began to turn the tables on the Irishman, showing Kayes that he too has a well stocked bag of tricks and clever moves, so much so that for long periods of time he was able to keep the wily Irishman on the back foot.

 

Mai multe de la fel și în al treilea, however the forth was a much closer fought affair, with the upper hand being equally shared between the two protagonists throughout the round.

 

After four highly entertaining, action packed rounds Referee Matt Scriven scored the contest 40-38 in favour of Craig Kennerdale.

 

Top class event featuring closely matched all action fights, what more could anyone ask for, as such plaudits to promoter Kyle Gallagher for hosting what can only be described as the perfect prelude, for the Merseyside fans that is, ahead of the impending big London fight night.

Up Close and Personal With Liverpool’s Rising Prospect Dayle Gallagher

Lasă un comentariu

 

Interview by Gianluca Di Caro.

Fotografie: Team Gallagher

 

 

The subject of this interview is Dayle Gallagher, who is proving to be one of the most exciting young prospects to emerge on the Merseyside boxing scene over the past few years.

 

On Friday March 3rd Dayle is set to compete in his toughest fight to date, a six rounder at the Hanger 34 Club in Liverpool, against Belfast’s Michael Kelly, a proven Championship campaigner, who in the past year or so has fought France’s Mohamed Larabi for the WBF International title and more recently Scotland’s Lee McAllister for the WBF Inter-Continental belt, as well as competed on huge televised events in Russia and Sweden.

 

Unbeaten in four outings to date, two by early stoppages, against Alekseis Nikitenko, in mai 2015 and Jak Johnson in December 2016, and two by solid points decision, Marty Kayes in April 2016 and Phil Townley in June the same year, Dayle has already caught the eye of some of the biggest names in the sport, including two time World Champion Amir Khan.

 

In fact courtesy of Mr Khan and his team, Dayle firmly earned his place in the History books of the sport, as the very first winner of a Professional Boxing contest in Pakistan, following his excellent win over Belfast’s Phil Townley back in June last year.

 

More on that later, as right now I think its time to get on with the interview.

 

Gianluca

Thank you for talking with me today Dayle, whilst obviously this interview is regarding your professional career, especially the upcoming fight against Michael Kelly on March 3rd, I would like to start the interview off with you telling the readers a little about your non-professional boxing, especially your amateur career, which I have understand started out with a victory over one of the top guys in the division at that time.

 

Dayle

I started boxing at the age of 14, after training for over a year I had a few inter-club events before having my first amateur bout which was on short notice to represent Liverpool my home city, which was against the Welsh number one at the time in his home city Wrexham.

 

I always remember my coach saying no one wants to fight this lad so go knock him out, and in the second round after putting him down twice already the referee had no choice to stop it.

 

I was told by numerous of people I had a bright future in the sport but my focus at the time was to become a professional football player which ended in a real bad injury and after 18 months of physio and rehabilitation on my injury.

 

I finally got back into boxing for fitness and immediately fell back in love with the sport, after just a few months of training I took a white-collar fight in Newcastle.

 

After winning that I got loads of good feedback and realised I need to start taking this serious and see how far I can go in the sport, I won Northern area, British and European titles on the unlicensed scene then realised I need to turn to the professional side of the game.

 

 

Gianluca

Your pro career got off to a flying start, with a stoppage victory over Latvian Aleksejs Nikitenko, firstly how did it feel boxing in the professional ranks for the first time and secondly can you give your view of the fight please?

 

Dayle

Even though I had been in the ring plenty of times before, my professional debut had me more nervous then any other fight, but the feeling couldn’t of been better.

 

The fight didn’t last long about 1 minute I think before the referee had to interfere and call a halt to the fight which led to my first win in the professional ranks and is a day I will never forget.

 

 

Gianluca

It was almost a year before you were back in the ring, against Marty Kayes back in April last year, but even with such a long time between fights you were in top form, beating Marty on points. How did you manage to keep motivated during this time and again please give the readers your view of the fight?

 

Dayle

It was very hard because I was going through a lot of complications with my promoter at the time and couldn’t fight and I thought I might never fight again, but after a long period out, my brother helped me and got me a fight.

 

I knew a lot about Marty and knew it wouldn’t be easy knowing how experienced he was, but I wanted to show everyone that even with all this time out how good I can be and got the win and felt like I’d never had time out of the ring.

 

 

Gianluca

Your next fight, against Phil Townley, came just a few months later and what’s more was overseas on an historic event, the first Pro Boxing event ever to take place in Pakistan. Can you please tell the readers firstly how this came about and also tell the readers not just about the fight but also the whole experience?

 

Dayle

I didn’t really believe it was true when I first found out about Pakistan. I had just come back from my holiday and next minute am on the phone to Amir Khan’s uncle about a possible fight in Pakistan.

 

Even though I knew I wasn’t at my fittest or at my preferred weight I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity so I stepped up two weight classes just for the opportunity.

 

Within a couple of hours of the fight getting offered to me I was in Bolton at the Amir Khan Academy filling out all my paper work and my visa and literally three days later was on a plane going to fight in Pakistan.

 

On arriving in Pakistan I was treated like royalty, my bags where collected and carried for me. I was greeted by the Pakistan Army and Police and escorted to my hotel.

 

I could never thank the people enough from Pakistan on how they made my time there so welcome, it’s a great country with great people even when I fought they where screaming my name, so much so that I thought I was back in Liverpool with a home crowd.

 

It was one of my most amazing experiences of my life and one that I will have for the rest of my life as I made history as the very first professional boxer to fight and win on Pakistan soil.

 

 

Gianluca

Your fourth fight, against Jak Johnson back in December and on home turf once more, was both dramatic and I would expect anti-climatic for you. I was there so know all that occurred but could you enlighten the readers about the dramas that unfolded that night from your view please?

 

Dayle

If you’ve seen the whole fight it looks like I wasn’t too happy at the end but that’s because am a fighter and all I want to do is fight.

 

I trained so hard and felt in the best shape of my life so when the fight was over In 30 seconds it annoyed me but that’s just something I have to deal with its boxing and fights can be over with one shot.

 

After watching it back I was happy with my performance and I’m blessed with punching power that can pop someone’s shoulder out of its socket with one shot.

 

 

Gianluca

Pe 3rd March you’ll be in action once more at the Hanger 34 în Liverpool, where you are due to face Ireland’s Michael Kelly. Do you know much about Michael and his fighting style and also how do you see this fight panning out?

 

Dayle

I know about the people he’s fought and what he’s achieved I know it will be a tough fight but that’s why my team and me asked for the fight.

 

I don’t watch my opponents on old fights because they could turn up an box a completely different fight so I like to figure them out when am in there.

 

I think it will be an entertaining fight for people to watch, but I see it ending with a knockout, if I hit anybody at welterweight with one of my power shots in eight-ounce gloves I will be shocked to see anybody still standing there in front of me.

 

 

Gianluca

So out of the fights you’ve had to date, whether pro or not, which has been your favourite and why?

 

Dayle

My favourite has to be Pakistan making history and challenging myself, it was a big risk stepping up two weight divisions but I like a challenge and this is why I’m in this fight game, and also boxing in front of two time World Champion Amir Khan and getting great feedback from him, you can’t ask for anything better than that.

 

 

Gianluca

How would you describe your fighting style?

 

Dayle

My fighting style I believe is different to the average British style boxer which I think makes me stand out more, I’m a counter fighter with power, I’m a southpaw and I know I can be a nightmare for any boxer out there on the boxing circuit.

 

 

Gianluca

Should you be successful on the 3rd March, you will be unbeaten in five, whilst perhaps it’s still a bit early to be thinking of Championship accolades, I’m sure that you must have been thinking about opportunities like that already, as such could you please outline your future plans for the readers.

 

Dayle

I’m in the sport to win titles, it’s a dream of mine that I know I can achieve and when the opportunity comes I will take it.

 

I will keep climbing the ladder winning fights and when my team think the time is right, I will get my title shot and I will become Champion.

 

 

 

Gianluca

I’m sure you must have been an avid watcher of pro boxing even as a youngster, as such my next question is which fighters, past or present, have had the most influence on you and your career?

 

Dayle

Growing up from a young age I used to watch videos of Roy Jones Jr, I love his cockiness and confidence.

 

I always wanted to be an entertainer and give people the feeling I had when watching him.

 

My favourite fighters that I like to watch a lot of now is Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Broner, Chris Eubank Jr and Errol Spence Jr, these are the type of fighters I like to take a lot from and try to make into my own style.

 

 

Gianluca

Moving away from the fights etc., who are the main people that make up Team Gallagher?

 

Dayle

Even though I’m the one who gets in there to fight I couldn’t do it without my team, from my brother Kyle who prepares me for every fight, to all my teammates at engine room.

 

It’s not just my team though; my sponsors also help me to get ready for fight night, Goodness Grill, who prepares my food, which help me with my diets. Spartan Dynamic who train me for my strength and conditioning and get me in great shape and make me feel stronger than ever.

 

James Harris who helps me with everything behind the scenes like interviews.

 

My friends my family and my girlfriend these all help me behind the scenes when I’m moody from weight cutting and preparing for fight night.

But the most important people on my team are the people who believe in my dream and buy tickets off me for my fights, because what a lot of people don’t realise without ticket sales fights can’t happen and I will always be thankful to every last person who buys a ticket from me!

 

 

Gianluca

Where do you train and what is your training schedule?

 

Dayle

I train in Engine Room Boxing Club, Sports Direct Fitness and Spartan Dynamic, my normal routine for fight night is 6am I wake up have a banana then straight to Sports Direct Fitness for my running.

 

I like to get between 4-6 miles in every morning then I will do a bit of bag work and get a sauna, then I will go home and rest then at 10:30am depending on which day Luni, Miercuri, Vineri I will be at Engine Room until at least Midday working on my boxing.

 

Marți și Joi I will be at Spartan Dynamic until Midday working on my strength and conditioning, then I will go and pick up freshly prepared meals from Goodness Grill and then have work from 2:30pm until 9:30pm.

 

It’s a hard routine to maintain but for my dream it’s all worth it.

 

 

Gianluca

What would you say your favourite part of training is?

 

Dayle

I don’t really have a favourite part of training; my favourite part is probably getting told I’m finished because it’s really hard work.

 

It’s an addiction training that I couldn’t go without, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be sparring. It’s the closest thing to fighting and there’s nothing better than landing devastating punches on opponents.

 

 

Gianluca

Outside boxing, what is your favourite sport?

 

Dayle

Outside of boxing my favourite sport is football, I love to watch my team Everton but any game in general I will just watch for entertainment

 

 

Gianluca

Besides sport how else do you relax outside boxing?

 

Dayle

Boxing is constantly on my brain when I have spare time I watch boxing videos or talk about it to people who don’t really care but it’s in my blood and I just can’t help it

 

 

Gianluca

These days Social Media is very much an important tool for professional sports people; do you utilize Social Media to engage with your fans?

 

Dayle

I find social media is very important these days for professional athletes and I always interact with fans, because anybody who takes time to ask me anything about my career deserves a reply, I’m not a big name in the sport yet so to have people asking me questions about my boxing really means a lot to me.

 

 

Gianluca

Finally is there anything you want to say to your fans?

 

Dayle

Thank you to everyone who follows my career and believes in me it won’t be long until I’m at the top, mulțumesc.

Lupta Raport: Decastro Kos Rozembergs ca lemn & Smith Scor senzațională TKO Victorii Debut

Lasă un comentariu

Raport: Gianluca Di Caro

De obicei, aceasta este fie o Vineri sau Sâmbătă noapte care primesc fix meu obișnuit
de acțiune pugilistic, în această săptămână, deși a fost un pic diferit ca am facut
călătoria de la Londra pana la Leeds duminică dimineață, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, promotor avansat, Lee Murtagh.

Având în vedere că a fost un Duminică după-amiază / seara spectacol, Am fost cu putere
uimit, sau este faptul că impresionat, că, atunci când am ajuns la locul de desfășurare, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.

Trebuie să spun fanii Leeds știu cu adevărat cum să se bucure de, the
atmosferă la clubul de noapte Pryzm a fost electric, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Dl. Tony Dean, announced each of the boxers that the crowd vociferously showed their support, not just of the home fighters but they also made the opponents welcome too, which makes a nice change.

Cap de afis spectacolul a fost preferat locală Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, împotriva Letoniei Jekaterina Lecko.

Din off ambele fete mutat pentru a lua inel centru, tentatively boxing off the back of their jabs, after about twenty seconds or so Lecko decided to step it up a tad, throwing a good stiff jab immediately followed by a looping right to the head, Smith closed her guard just enough to catch the shot on her glove, înainte de fotografiere un drept drept, which caught the Latvian flush.

Smith închis din nou, apoi permiteți-rip cu drept mare pentru corpul și o stângă
la cap, Fecko încercat să stea la sol ei, dar Smith a venit chiar
puternică forțând spate letonă spre corzi.

Inițial Fecko folosit baga ei a mare efect pentru a păstra Smith la golf, dar
around the forty five second mark Smith slipped under the jab and let rip with a huge shot to the body, quickly followed by another to the head that shook the Latvian girl to the core.

Smith sa mutat direct în pentru a ucide, aruncat o multitudine de fotografii mari,
leaving Fecko no option but to cover up in the hope that she could survive the onslaught.

Smith had now corralled the Latvian into the corner and began bombarding Fecko with shots from every conceivable angle, then just as Fecko straightened up Smith landed an absolute peach of a shot to the body that sent Fecko straight to the canvas.

As referee Jimmy Byrne made the count Fecko looked towards her corner and shook her head before desperately trying to make it to her feet, however clearly in distress she instantly dropped back down onto one knee, leaving Jimmy Byrne no option but to call a halt to proceedings on the seventy second mark of the first round.

Prior to Smith-Fecko Lincoln’s unbeaten big punching Middleweight Nathan Decastro, împotriva Elvis Rozembergs Letonia, într-un șase rotunda.

Decastro’s ring moniker is ‘Nightmare’ and boy oh boy I bet young Mr. Rozembergs will be having plenty of them after this fight.

Decastro, un fost limba engleză Amateur International, is about as clinical as they come. Right from the off the Lincolnshire lad picked his shots with precision, landing three pin-point perfect shots just with his opening salvo.

Rozembergs este un joc, deși, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, de fiecare dată prezentând Decastro cu o țintă clară corp -Rozembergs - a pus ochii pe, care, desigur, dar era imposibil, landing seriously solid shots each time.

On about the minute mark Rozembergs tried to back Decastro up by coming in hard and fast with a double handed flurry, however Decastro side stepped before letting rip with a big right to the body, which sent Rozembourgs to the canvas.

Letonă fost în mod clar în primejdie, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.

După câteva minute Rozembergs a fost ajutat în picioare și așa cum a făcut
primit aplauze răpitor de la public apreciativ.

Înainte de a Decastro-Rozembergs a fost un alt debut pro, de data asta
Middlesborough Semimijlocie Chris Wood, împotriva Edgar Milevics.

Milevics nu a corect mai bine decât oricare Lecko sau Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
în urma Wood cabrare un drept mare în coaste.

Milevics făcut numărătoarea, but on the restart you could see his heart was no longer in the fight, electing instead to cover up in the vein hope that Wood wouldn’t land another big shot.

Pe despre marca cincizeci secunde sa întâmplat inevitabilul, Wood sneaked a lovely little hook in just behind Milevics guard, causing the Latvian to bring his hands down to protect his body, which left him open to a big right to the head, which left Milevics no option but to cover up again and as he did Wood calmly threw another big left to the body, which sent Milevic down to the canvas for the second time.

Milevic just about managed to make it to his feet but referee Jimmy Byrne took one look and see how unsteady the Latvian was on his feet and rightly stopped the fight on the sixty seconds mark.

Suport pentru cele trei crize profesionale, were a number of European Boxing Federation (FFE) crize sancționate.

Cel principal, pentru Campionatul Internațional de cocoș FFE, see Leeds’ Sophie Varley in a rematch against Malta’s Mandy Cortis.

Cortis had come all the way from sunny Malta to a rather wet and Windy Leeds to defend the title she won last time the two met.

Primele trei runde Cortis jucat jocul așteptare, în speranța că toate
acțiune fată Varley se va lovi cu pumnul în.

Runda patru a fost o afacere mult mai chiar, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, inițial fata maltez a fost ateriza un bun cateva fotografii, but Varley is as tough as they come and by about the fifty second mark wrenched control back with a fantastic display of boxing, culminating with Cortis backed onto the ropes and absorbing a seemingly never ending barrage.

Despre un minut treizeci mărcii a fost Cortis pe atac din nou, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, care a fost un deget curat până în picioare Battle Royale.

Cortis controlat majoritatea ultimele două runde, cu unele
box frumos, Varley a dat încă un cont mare de ea, doar
Valoarea de munca ea a pus în timpul primelor runde au avut practic
drenate ei.

Era clar că va fi aproape, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, foarte aproape 58-57 decizie puncte.

Rezultatele restul cardului FFE erau:

York Carly McKenzie înscris un excelent 40-37 subliniază victoria asupra
Bridlington lui Mel Halstead pentru titlul Zona FFE pe centru Ușoară.

Leeds’s Graham Mattison scored a one minute and fifty second second round TKO victory over Blackpool’s Richard Leak in the EBF Northern Heavyweight contest.

Leeds "Jay Stevenson inscrie un gol 30-28 subliniază victoria asupra Stoke lui Phil McGinn.

MBC se alătură forțelor cu WKA pentru sancționarea Pro Box În Scoția

Lasă un comentariu

Managing Director Malta box Comisiei și Vice President, Gianluca Di Caro și kick box Mondială și de asociere Karate (Absolut) Scoția Președintele Stewart Allan a anunțat astăzi că au unit forțele pentru a sancționa evenimente boxul profesionist în Scoția.

 

Noua societate va prezenta nu doar oportunități pentru boxerii profesionale scoțian pentru a putea concura mai, dar, de asemenea, va permite luptători din lovitură mondial de box pentru a concura atât ca boxerii profesioniști și Boxerii kick.

 

În timp ce intenția acestui risc este de a sancționa evenimente de box pro în Scoția, se deschide, de asemenea, usile de posibilitatea de a combinat pro box și lovi cu piciorul evenimente de box, cu boxul sancționat de CSM și kick boxing sancționată de WKA, nu numai în Scoția, dar, de asemenea, în orice caz, sancționată de MBC în Malta, Regatul Unit sau Irlanda.

 

Pe acest site anunțul dl. Allan a spus.

 

"Suntem foarte incantati sa lucram cu Box Comisia Malta, acesta poate fi bun doar pentru sport pentru a aduce o astfel de organizație progresivă boxul profesionist în Scoția.

 

Pentru a vă alătura celor din lumea pro box cu cele ale lumii kick boxing este o perspectiva interesanta, până în prezent competența de a fi in Marea Britanie au fost destul de fericit pentru Champions noastre pentru a comuta discipline și de a concura boxeri ca pro.

 

Din păcate, ea a fost întotdeauna în detrimentul Lovitura de cariera luptător de box, care a fost pentru că odată ce au trecut la pro box ei nu mai au dreptul de a concura ca un boxer lovitură.

 

Aceasta se va schimba, sub venture noastre comune cu Comisia Malta box luptatori noastre vor fi licențiate și să concureze în calitate de boxeri pro, precum și continuă să militeze ca boxerii kick cadrul WKA.

 

Pentru luptători noastre acest lucru înseamnă foarte mult, ei doresc să concureze în ambele sport și au atât de mult de oferit atât.

 

Acest nou parteneriat nu este vorba doar de luptători noastre posibilitatea de a lupta în ambele discipline, vom fi fi activ în căutarea de a dezvolta pe partea de box pro în Scoția, da boxeri Scottish șansa de a fi mai activi decât au fost în trecut, dorim să construiască MBC a beneficia luptători din ambele discipline.

 

De asemenea, dorim să aducem mai mult autentic 50/50 lupta pentru Scoția, nu vrem să fie o extensie a scenei curente, dorim să aducem fanilor autentice lupte incitante strâns potrivite, fiecare spectacol. "

 

Dl MBC lui. Di Caro adăugat apoi.

 

"Nu am putut conveni mai mult cu Stewart, aceasta este o evoluție serios interesant pentru sport, unul care va beneficia luptători din ambele box și kick box.

 

Când Stewart ne-a abordat cu conceptul am fost deschise să-l imediat, nu pentru motivul pentru care mulți oameni vor crede, dar pentru că am făcut deja decizia ca ar trebui cineva care concurează într-o altă artă pugilistic care vrea, de asemenea, la cutia pro, ar trebui să li se permită să facă acest lucru.

 

Această decizie a fost facut ceva timp în urmă, în fapt, a fost atunci când treisprezece timp campion mondial Marlon Hunt ne-a abordat pentru prima dată despre pro box sub stindardul nostru.

 

Marlon este unul dintre concurenții de top din lume kick box, cum am putea spune, eventual, să-l că el trebuie să renunțe la lupta pe kick boxing circuitul dacă el pro cutii, Adică el are titluri mondiale în lovitură de box, K1, Muay Thai, cu noi el poate apăra aceste titluri, precum și începe o provocare pentru Campionatele din box, de asemenea,.

 

Trebuie să spun, de când am menționat Marlon, că atunci când ni sa alăturat nu ne-am dat seama destul de ceea ce un activ el ar deveni, el este un ambasador mare pentru MBC, cu fanii și boxer anii deopotrivă, atât de mult încât la începutul anului trecut a fost ales în unanimitate pe Comitetului Executiv MBC.

 

Acum, nu numai că avem șansa de a avea mai mult de boxerilor de top kick concurente în box pro, dar, de asemenea, au posibilitatea de a kick boxing Mondiale Campionilor din întreaga lume concurează pentru onoruri campionatului ca boxeri pro.

 

Pe partea de business a lucrurilor Stewart va fi președintele noii MBC scoțian regiunea, precum alătura Comitetului Executiv al Comisiei Box Malta.

 

Stewart are planuri mari pentru noul asocierii și în acest scop a semnat deja un cuplu de promotori Scottish, unul dintre ei intenționează să promoveze primul MBC Scoția eveniment sancționează destul de repede, probabil în aprilie sau mai.

 

Eu unul am atât de mândru de a fi implicat în această aventură nouă interesante, Simt sincer că acest lucru va dovedi a fi una dintre cele mai bune lucruri să se întâmple la sportul nostru într-un lung, perioadă lungă de timp.

 

Ce e mai mult, va oferi fanilor de box cu o rasă cu totul nou de adevărat remarcabile luptători de clasă mondială pentru a obține în spatele, precum și prezintă oportunități pentru boxerii scoțieni să fie mai activ, care poate fi bun pentru sport numai. "

Start bun pentru Anul – Șapte câștigurilor din șapte pentru TKO

Lasă un comentariu

S-ar putea fi doar doar patruzeci de zile sau așa în Anul Nou, dar Johnny Eames și echipa TKO Campionilor sunt deja foarte, foarte fericit cu modul totul merge pentru ei în 2015. Întâi și întâi, ele asigurat de noi spații pentru celebrul sala de sport, iar acum doar peste două săptămâni în noul an Box au avut un șir de șapte succese pentru lor tot mai mare stabil de boxeri.

 

Astăzi Anterior menționat anterior dl. Eames a luat un pic de timp din programul său ocupat pentru a vorbi despre excelenta începutul anului, pentru perspectivele sale tinerii foarte talentați.

 

"Da, ce un start bun pentru anul pentru băieți TKO Campionilor.

 

In primul rand am avut patru băieți la ora York Hall 30lea Ianuarie, din păcate, nu am putut ajunge la spectacol, deoarece cazan mea a trecut și casa mea a fost inundată, dar am ținut legătura cu toată lumea pentru a vă asigura că băieții au fost în regulă.

 

Primul în acțiune a fost Antonio Counihan și de ceea ce am auzit a pus într-un alt performanțe uimitoare, prinde adversarul său în al treilea, după domina lupta de la început.

 

Așa cum a promis el are acum un opt rounder în următorul său luptă, pe spectacol Ștefan Vaughan în Liverpool, pe de 20lea Martie.

 

Atunci sperăm că va ajunge să facă ceva în Birmingham pentru un titlu MBC International sau similare.

 

Mai departe pe care spectacolul a fost Tasif Khan, băiat a făcut el scutura de rugina de pe, scurt și sudoare, prinde adversarul său în doar șaizeci și cinci secunde.

 

Din ceea ce am auzit a pus pe un ecran fantastic, eviscerat am ratat, dar sperăm ajunge să-l vadă data viitoare el e afară, care este, de asemenea, pe spectacol Ștefan Vaughan Liverpool martie.

 

Se pare că lupta de noapte a fost noastre Onder Ozgul lui, barnstormer reală Rio (TKO lui Gianluca Di Caro) a spus, toate acțiunile și într-un ritm ridicat ca de obicei de la Onder.

 

Acest copil este gata să se mute într-o formă de șase Rounders acum, ca fratele său Siar, pentru a fi sincer cu tine.

 

Așa cum am spus Siar făcut primul său șase rotunda, din nou o luptă cracare cu toate conturile, toată lumea este atât de încântat de performanța sa pe noapte.

 

Se pare că el a învățat să judece ritmul său acum, mai degrabă decât să ciocan și clește pentru întreaga șase runde, el însuși ritm frumos pentru toate cele șase runde.

 

În noaptea următoare am avut Charlie Edwards, făcându-și debutul, și Tommy Martin lupta pentru titlul în limba engleză de la O2.

 

Charlie, Ce pot să spun că a fost f ** rege extraordinar.

 

Pentru un copil care are debutul profesional, Am fost atât de impresionat de atitudinea și profesionalismul său, el nu a șovăit de la ceea ce el a trebuit să facă și ocazia nu a ajuns la el.

 

Când a ajuns în ring a fost frumos și rece, ascultat fiecare cuvânt care Brian (antrenor Brian O'Shaughnessy) a spus.

 

I-am spus că nu trebuie să impresioneze, pentru că el este foarte bun, oricum, deci nu este nevoie pentru a încerca și de a fi bun, ca el este.

 

A fost un meci absolut perfect pentru primul său luptă, nu răsturnări că unele dintre numele mari minim, el a fost un copil foarte greu, care a venit să lupte și într-adevăr a crezut el ar putea câștiga, care a jucat chiar în mâinile lui Charlie.

 

Puștiul a primit o bătaie sistematic de la o rundă la patru, dar care nu ia departe de efort propriu puștiului, pentru că el a fost într-adevăr încercat și apoi Charlie prins bine cu aproximativ șase secunde pentru a merge și asta a fost tot.

 

A fost doar necrezut, de necrezut Am fost doar atât de impresionat cu Charlie.

 

Apoi am avut nostru Tommy Martin, Ce pot să spun acest copil a intrat în sala noastră de gimnastică acum doi ani și jumătate acum, doar optsprezece ani și am luat un pic de joc de noroc pe el și am spus tatăl său, după ce prima sa luptă, de fapt, înainte de lupta pe care l-aș garanta zece victorii și apoi îl voi lăsa pe plumb, am livrat din partea noastră, l-am prins zece din zece.

 

Trebuie să recunosc că am fost nervos intra în lupta, evident după ce instruit adversarul său, Ricky Boylan, în prealabil așa știa Ricky este un copil greu și a crezut că el poate outman Tommy, dar a fost cu totul invers, Tommy îl outmanned să fie echitabil.

 

Tommy încetinit în jurul a șasea rundă și am fost îngrijorat de faptul că el a lăsat ceva în sala de gimnastică, dar nici o problema sa întors mai puternic.

 

Pot spune sincer cred că Tommy pierdut doar două runde, poate unul sau doi ar fi putut fi partajat, dar care ar fi fiind un fel de Ricky, asta e cat de mult Tommy a dominat lupta.

 

Scorurile au fost 99-92 și 97-93 de două ori, după cum puteți vedea că sunt masiv în favoarea Tommy și pe bună dreptate.

 

Fair-play-a Ricky nu a încetat să mai vină, așa cum am stiut el ar fi, dar pentru mine Ricky nu au avut suficient de circulație, el a fost în mișcare capul când în afara intervalului, dar nu a fost atunci când avea nevoie de.

 

Acum, într-o formă mai recentă debutant noastre, Mickey O'Rourke, dar în primul rând trebuie să le mulțumesc tuturor fanilor care au venit la el.

 

El a vândut două sute douăzeci de bilete, dar mai apărut și a cumpărat bilete în noaptea, astfel, probabil, a avut aproximativ doi cincizeci rândul său, pentru a-l sprijine.

 

Ei au fost mari, foarte, foarte zgomotos, au făcut o noapte mare pentru el.

 

Mickey a fost un pic nervos în primul tur de scrutin, odată ce a ajuns înapoi la colțul Brian (antrenor Brian O'Shaughnessy) l sortate.

 

Oricum el a câștigat încă din primul tur confortabil, pe de altă copil a făcut greu pentru el, ca deține tot timpul, dar Mickey negat tot încearcă să facă.

 

Din fericire pentru arbitru, de asemenea, sa grăbit să-i desparți de fiecare dată copilul apucat Mickey, plus am ajuns Mickey a da drumul cu mai mult de o lovitură să-l țină de la venirea la el apuca.

 

El a câștigat meciul 40-36 dar modul în care a cutie in ultima etapa pe de altă copil a făcut bine să stai la capătul.

 

În corectitudine copilul a venit la mine după lupta și a zis: "Johnny pare rau dar dacă eu nu l-am ține, mi-ar fi oprit. "

 

Sunt fericit cu asta, el a fost doar treaba lui și cred că Mickey învățat foarte multe de la lupta.

 

Fanii iubit, primul tur de scrutin cum am spus a fost un pic nervos, dar în următorii trei runde au fost interesante, Mickey va fi o mulțime luptător plăcut, nu exista nici două moduri despre asta, și mă bucur să fac parte din drumul său.

 

Colegul meu de Colin l-au trimis la mine și el a fost foarte bine educat la Dale Tineretului, care a făcut munca mea un pic mai ușor și aștept cu nerăbdare să următoarea luptă, pe de 21st Martie.

 

Sper că toți fanii care au participat veni din nou, ca el are nevoie de tot sprijinul pe care poate obține ca fără vânzările de bilete de călătorie se oprește și acest copii prea bine pentru ca să se întâmple.

 

Ce pot sa spun, rezultate fantastice pentru toți băieții și, desigur TKO Campionilor, șapte din șapte, nu se poate obține mai bine decât asta, sperăm că am stabilit tendința de 2015. "
