Op Vrydag nag, in the grounds of the incredibly beautiful Monte Kristo Estates in Hal Luqa, Malta, local boxing fans were treated to a magnificent night of International boxing.

 

Die geleentheid, which was headlined by the MBC International Heavyweight title clash between Malta’s very own ‘King’ Billy Corito and the big hitting (18 KO’s from 27 oorwinnings) Latvian Edgars Kalners, was the first event from new promoters Steve Carauna and Mark Calleja, along with a little help from experienced British promoter Stephen Vaughan.

 

Right from the opening bell Corito went straight on the attack, landing a big right to the head, Kalners stood his ground and shot out a strong jab, only to receive another big right hand that connected flush.

 

What followed next was a controlled exchange between both protagonists that had many of the highly vocal fans on their feet and cheering on their man.

 

After a fairly frenetic start both fighters settled into a slower pace for the rest of the round.

 

Round two was fought at a good pace, with both men exchanging big shots throughout.

 

Without doubt both the first couple of rounds were fairly close, although surely could only be scored in favour of Corito due to him not only being the busier but also his shots showed way more intent, but the third was a totally different affair.

 

Corito slowly ground his man down, forcing Kalners back constantly with a series of powerful salvos, a number of which shook the big Latvian to the core, each time the local crowd became more vocal in encouraging their man to step up the attacks, which on some occasions he did much to the delight of the partisan crowd.

 

More of the same from Corito in the fourth, however Kalners seemed to have lost the will to go toe-to-toe, which made the round very much a one sided affair, with Kalners covering up often and allowing Corito to let rip with big right hands.

 

During one of the exchanges Kalners seemed to be caught in the rib area and as he went to shoot out a right hand of his own let out a cry of pain, after which pulled his right arm across his chest and began to turn away from his forward advancing foe.

 

Corito cautiously moved forward and looked toward referee Lee Murtagh for guidance on whether he should continue the attack or not on the stricken Latvian.

 

Whilst a gentlemanly act from Corito, it almost cost him dear as Kalners turned and threw out a strong jab and looked set to throw a big right.

 

Corito responded with another salvo of big rights and kept up the pressure until the end of the round.

 

Coming out in the fifth Kalners seemed sluggish and was breathing heavily, clearly in some form of discomfort, however Corito was not going to make the same mistake as in the previous round and once again began throwing big right hands at every conceivable opportunity.

 

For virtually the whole round it was Corito walking his opponent down, throwing big right hands to head and body, then in the dying seconds of the round Corito stepped up the pressure once more.

 

When the bell rang Corito turned and headed straight to his corner, however Kalners appeared disoriented for a few seconds before finally heading back to his corner, referee Lee Murtagh showed some concern, as did MBC Chief Medical officer Dr Mark Xuereb, who immediately headed to Kalners’ corner and began checking over the distressed Latvian.

 

As the minute break was coming to an end the referee stepped forward, as it was clear that Kalners was in no position to continue and waved the bout off just as the opening bell for round six rang.

 

Have to say I’ve seen Billy Corito in action a number of times, he’s always been good for the money, but this time he was magnificent.

 

Credit in part must go to Corito’s coach, former WBU World Champion Shea Neary, who came up with a game plan that surprised most, gone were the big haymaker’s Corito is so well known for, instead Corito was controlled, good head movement and his punches were crisp, sharp and more importantly nearly always bang on target.

 

Word is that Corito’s team were so impressed with his performance that discussions are already underway for a mouth watering showdown later this year with a certain big name British Heavyweight.

 

The main support see Pieta, Malta’s Haithem Laamouz in action against Russia’s Ravil Mukhamadiyarov.

 

Laamouz took the fight to the more experienced Mukhamadiyarov right from the start and kept up the pressure throughout the first couple of rounds.

 

Early on in the second Laamouz landed a cracking body shot that sent Mukhamadiyarov to the deck, as referee Lee Murtagh reached the 8 count surprisingly the tough Russian jumped to his feet. The plucky lad surprised most observers by making it to the end of the round despite Laamouz’s efforts to finish the fight early.

 

From the third on the pressure from Laamouz was clearly proving too much for Mukhamadiyarov, the Russian covering up and only occasionally responding with an ineffective jab to keep the Maltese lad at bay.

 

Early in the fifth round Laamouz backed Mukhamadiyarov onto the ropes and began a non-stop assault, until referee Lee Murtagh stepped in to save the Russian from further punishment on the one minute and thirty seven second mark.

 

Supporting the pro bouts were a number of International Novice Pro and semi-pro bouts between local boxers and a team from the United Kingdom.

 

The Novice Pro is a recently introduced division featuring boxers with limited amateur or unlicensed boxing experience but wishing to compete in the professional division.

 

The Novice Pro division is operated under full professional boxing rules and with the same medical requirements as the professional division.

 

The main differences between Novice Pro and Pro bouts are that, only Novice Pro licensed boxers can compete against another Novice Pro Licensed boxer and that the rounds are of two minute duration, not three as in the pro ranks.

 

OK, so now that’s explained let’s get back to the action.

 

The final Novice Pro bout see Malta’s Malik Zinad against UK’s William O’Reilly in a six, two minute round contest for the vacant WBU Europe Novice Pro Light Heavyweight title.

 

These two warriors went to war right from the opening bell, both giving their all for every single second of every round.

 

In the fourth Zinad stepped up the pace, occasionally forcing O’Reilly onto his back foot, it was later during one of these forceful attacks that Zinad began letting rip with some mighty bombs, one of which was just a tad off target and the thumb of his glove accidently entered the eye socket of the English lad, no surprise that as it did O’Reilly let out a shocked scream of pain as he headed for the canvas.

 

Dr Xuereb and his medical team were by the clearly distressed Englishman’s side in an instant, literally as referee Lee Murtagh waved the bout off.

 

I’m pleased to say that I had spoken with William O’Reilly since and he is absolutely OK and there is no lasting damage to his eye.

 

Prior to Zinad-O’Reilly was Malta’s Kerstin Brown against the UK’s Nathan Lavery, for the vacant WBU Europe Novice Pro Super Bantamweight title.

 

Young Brown is definitely one to watch and judging on his performance Vrydag night is destined to become a future star, think of a younger Carl Frampton and that’ll give you an idea of just how classy and exciting young Brown is.

 

From start to finish the youngster controlled the bout like a seasoned pro, his ring craft was supreme, cutting off the ring to keep Lavery pinned against the ropes before closing in and letting rip with lightning fast double handed flurries.

 

Nobody was surprised when the score cards were read out, a shutout 60-51 in favour of Brown, as he really dominated the bout from start to finish, outboxing his taller opponent in sensational fashion.

 

The first Novice Pro bout featured Malta’s Max Farrugia against the UK’s Lewis Burns in a four rounder.

 

As with young Kerstin Brown, Farrugia is another emerging star, this kid has it all, think Junior Witter in his younger days, slick, switch boxing with so much panache it is mouth watering to watch.

 

From start to finish Farrugia out boxed his tough opponent, at times he made it look too easy, but believe me it wasn’t as Burns is one tough cookie and gave his all for every second of every round, just Farrugia is a class act, one that will be a great addition to the pro ranks that’s for sure.

 

After four sensational round the ringside judges scored the bout 40-36 (twee keer) en 40-37 in favour of the deserving Max Farrugia.

 

What a cracking fight and as with the other Novice Pro bouts, easily equal in quality to the full pro bouts.

 

The results for the semi-pro bouts are:

 

Noel Lebrun (Malta) vs Jonathan Dean (Verenigde Koninkryk)

 

Judges Scores – Majority Decision in favour of UK’s Jonathan Dean.

Lee Murtagh 27-30, Darren Mairs 29-29 and Steve Farrugia 28-29

 

Goran Bogdanovic (Malta) vs Bradley McDonnell (Verenigde Koninkryk)

 

Judges Scores – Split Decision in favour of Malta’s Goran Bogdanovic.

Lee Murtagh 29-28, Darren Mairs 29-30 and Steve Farrugia 29-28

Dodson and Economides Head Up Vaughan’s Star Studded 23rd May Liverpool Event.

Skryf 'n opmerking

Renowned Liverpool based promoter Stephen Vaughan is clearly determined to raise the bar, for Small Hall Boxing events, to a whole new level, with his latest offering, dubbed ‘NEW ERA – An Evening Of Professional Boxing’, which takes place at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool, Saterdag 23rd Mei 2015.

 

For those that were at Vaughan’s previous event, at the Grand Central Hall back in March, there is no need to stress just how good the event was.

 

Mei 23rd promises much, much more, on paper NEW ERA looks set to not only be a true small hall classic, but also looks likely to set a new standard that very few small hall promotions could possibly match.

 

Heading up the twelve bout card is Liverpool’s very own Tony Dodson, who will be back in hometown action for the first time since beating Darren Stubbs to secure the IBO Light Heavyweight International title, back in October 2011.

 

Op die 23rd Mei, Dodson, who in his previous fight secured a solid points victory over one of the toughest opponents around – the mischievous, yet highly durable, Jody Meikle, will be facing Latvia’s big punching Andrejs Pokumeiko.

 

In March last year, Pokumeiko secured a good solid points win over Ilford’s Kevin Greenwood at York Hall in London, which is the only points win on his record, every other win has come by way of stoppage victory.

 

The main support sees Chester’s WBF Intercontinental Champion Paul ‘Spartan’ Economides, in a non-championship contest against Estonia’s Sergey Tasimov.

 

Back on Vaughan’s previous event Economides put in another top class performance, against Ghana’s two time Commonwealth title challenger Isaac Quaye, on way to securing another sensational second round stoppage victory.

 

That particular win says a lot about Economides’ power as Quaye hadn’t been stopped on any of his previous thirty six fights, some feat considering Quaye has battled it out with the likes of Commonwealth champion Don Broadhurst, Britse, Commonwealth and European Champion Kevin Satchell and WBO European Champion Iain Butcher amongst other notable stars.

 

What’s more, Mei 2nd Economides went one better, with a clinical first round stoppage of the Czech Republic’s Petr Gyna, at the York Hall in London.

 

Globe trotting Tasimov, has fought some of the UK’s top stars previously, including interim WBA World Champion Derry Mathews, British and European Champion and upcoming IBF World title challenger Lee Askins, as well as former British and Commonwealth Champion Nicky Booth.

 

Whilst most cards have a top-flight domestic bout or two heading up the show, the support card is usually made up of local ‘house’ fighters tentatively building their records. Not this card; only three of the undercard fights feature developing talent, the rest are already well and truly established prospects and stars.

 

One of the most interesting match ups on the card pits Liverpool’s Nick Quigley against … you’ve guessed it, the aforementioned Jody Meikle.

 

Quigley made short work of his last opponent, Ludvik Gina, sensationally stopping the Czech in just fifty five seconds of the first round.

 

Don’t think the same will happen against Meikle, but do expect six rounds of truly entertaining boxing, with some mischievousness sprinkled in for maximum effect, based on Meikle’s last outing against Onder Ozgul at York Hall on May 2nd.

 

Next up is the exciting prospect of watching one of the World’s most successful Kick Boxing stars ever, thirteen time World Champion Marlon Hunt, making his highly anticipated transition to the pro boxing ranks, against Latvia’s Uldis Pucens.

 

Hunt recently said “After winning 13 Professional World titles in Full Contact Kickboxing, K – 1Rules and Muay Thai and Unifying the Big 5 WBC, ISKA, WAKO PRO, IKF & WKA and winning other mid and low Tier World Titles and various Semi Pro Boxing Titles it’s time to take on the Professional Boxing world. "

 

Hunt has made clear that he isn’t taking up pro boxing to just make up the numbers, he’s a hundred percent determined to be the first ever four discipline World Champion.

 

Whilst on the subject of World Champions, Chester’s World Boxing Federation Welterweight World Champ Chris Goodwin is back in action once more, in a non-championship bout, against Finsbury Park, London’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander.

 

Goodwin, a two division World Champion, will be making his first appearance since beating Georgia’s Mikheil Avakyan to win the coveted WBF World crown back in August.

 

Alexander, who had been training and fighting in America until recently, scored a third round stoppage victory over Tadas Stulginskas on his return to UK action at York Hall in London last October.

 

Birmingham’s undefeated Lightweight sensation Antonio Counihan is back in the ‘Pool, this time to face Janis Puksins.

 

Counihan, the former England Amateur Captain, has been nothing but sensational in each of his six previous bouts, stopping five inside the distance, however it was his last performance that proved that the Brummie youngster is destined to rise to the very top.

 

Back in March, Counihan took on previously unbeaten Czech Lukas Radic, Counihan didn’t just beat Radic, he plain destroyed him in just two minutes and twenty eight seconds of the first round.

 

Puksins is another globe trotter that should be quite well known to British fans, having fought the likes of former Prizefighter winner Ricky Owen, former WBU, WBF, WBC and Prizefighter Champion Choi Tseveenpurev, British Champ James Dickens and upcoming Commonwealth title challenger Jason Cunningham amongst others.

 

Another youngster who is fast heading towards World stardom is Liverpool based, Russian Featherweight prospect David Agadzhanyan, who will face former Ghanaian Champion Isaac Osuwu on May 23rd.

 

Like Counihan, Agadzhanyan has stopped all but one of his previous opponents and coincidently the bout against the one that went the distance, another previously unbeaten prospect Daniel Bazo, featured on Vaughan’s last event.

 

Wat 'n stryd, it was something truly special and a fight that many of those in attendance would love to see re-matched sometime in the near future, although have to say the result would probably be the same as Agadzhanyan is a tremendous talent, one that is likely to follow in the footsteps of Gennady Golovkin and Sergey Kovalev – yep, he’s that special.

 

Since that win, Agadzhanyan totally destroyed Czech Republic’s Josef Redlich, putting the Czech lad down three times before finally stopping him on the two minute and twenty five second mark of the first round, at the York Hall in London on May 2nd.

 

Liverpool’s former British, Commonwealth and WBF World title challenger Tony Moran is set for his first hometown fight since beating Czaba Andras at the Olympia back in 2005.

 

Mei 23rd Moran will be facing Blackpool’s former WBC United States title challenger Mathew ‘The Rock’ Ellis.

 

Welsh Middleweight Champion Lee Churcher makes his first Liverpool appearance on May 23rd, against Latvian Zaurs Sadihovs.

 

Back in March Churcher took on Nottingham’s Matt Scriven, after both their original opponents failed to make their flights to the UK.

 

Have to say I doubt the original match-ups would have been anywhere near the Battle Royale these two fought out on that night. It was a sensational close fought bout, with both protagonists giving their all in front of a highly appreciative crowd.

 

Churcher won on points, but have to say the real winners were the fans in attendance on the night, as that was one seriously exciting, all action fight.

 

Sadihovs, who has a won four, lost two record, however each of the wins came way of first round stoppage victories, including a full blown KO of Olegs Asejevs in January.

 

Making his third pro outing on May 23rd will be big punching Liverpudlian Featherweight Jay Carney.

 

Young Carney is proving to be one of the finds of the year, two outings, two fantastic stoppage wins.

 

Back in December Carney utterly outclassed Patrik Gadzo before stopping him on the one minute and thirty two second mark of the first round.

 

Then in March followed that great win up with a third round stoppage victory over the highly experienced Petr Gyna. Have to say that was a great fight, young Carney was far more relaxed and just performed perfectly, dominating Gyna for virtually every second the bout lasted.

 

Carney’s opponent on May 23rd is Dmitrijs Gutsman, is another big puncher, whilst his record is two wins and four losses, it should be noted that the wins both came way of first round stoppage.

 

Also making his third pro outing on May 23rd is Liverpool’s Lee Boyce, who will be taking on Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper.

 

Back in March Boyce literally destroyed Matus Olah with the very first power shot he threw, a cracking bodyshot that sent Olah down and out after just twenty seconds of the first round.

 

It should be noted that the power shot from Boyce actually cracked Olah’s rib, so whilst we didn’t get to see much action we now know just how powerful Boyce’s punches are.

 

Finally making his professional debut on the 23rd May is Liverpool Welterweight Dayle Gallagher, who goes up against Nottingham’s experienced Matt Scriven.

 

Gallagher is a classy young boxer and Scriven is as tough as they come, so expect fireworks when they go toe to toe.

 

So there you have it, one seriously great card for what is clearly going to be one seriously great fight night, so now you know it’s time to go and get those tickets because if you miss it, you’ll regret it.

13 Time KB World Champ Hunt Signs With Vaughan – Pro Boxing-debuut, Liverpool 23rd May

Skryf 'n opmerking

Undisputed and unified WBC, ISKA, WAKO, IKF & WKA World Champion, Marlon Hunt, is set to begin his professional boxing career later this month, following his signing management papers with renowned Liverpool based promoter Stephen Vaughan.

 

Hunt, who has held World titles in three different disciplines – Kick Boxing, K-1 Rules and Muay Thai – and five different weight categories, will be making his professional boxing debut on Vaughan’s upcoming NEW ERA event, which takes place at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool on Saturday 23rd Mei.

 

With a record breaking thirteen World titles to his name already, Hunt has made it clear that he is not entering the world of professional boxing to just make up the numbers, as when he spoke earlier he made it crystal clear that the change of discipline is so that he can focus on becoming a record holding four discipline World Champion.

 

“I’ve obviously done Kick Boxing, K-I Rules and Muay Thai, went through all the ranks there, won literally all the World titles in those sports, all the major World titles as well, so now I think it’s time to give pro boxing a shot.

 

I only signed with Stephen Vaughan on the 2nd May and it looks like I’m going to be busy straight away, he has me boxing on May 23rdin Liverpool and again on the 25ste July in Malta.

 

That was a shock, so let’s get it done, that’s the good thing about Steve, jy weet, it was literally I wanted to be managed by him as he sorts things out really quick.

 

This really suits me, I want to start challenging for titles as soon as possible, I’ve done everything that I’ve done in the other sports, I’ve been told for many years I should switch to pro boxing, but I didn’t think it was the right time, especially now with what I have won, again it will help me going up the rankings a little faster than I would have done otherwise, because of my experience, yeah I think it is the right time now.

 

I will still compete occasionally at Kick Boxing, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my pro boxing, I do want to do the mandatory defenses in my other sports, yeah I really want to defend my World titles still, apart from that I am concentrating fully on my pro boxing career.

 

There’s only a few people that have successfully transferred from one sport to the other, Chris Algieri, he was a kick boxer and has won a pro boxing World title, if Algieri can do it, I’m sure if I push the right way and I’m getting the right fights, I’m sure I can do the same thing.

 

I’m going to do the best that I can and become a four sport Champion, I don’t think to my knowledge that has actually done that yet, you know World Champion at Kick Boxing, K1, Muay Thai and Pro Boxing, so really would like to be the first to do that.

 

I’ve got some good loyal fans and they’ll be following me through the boxing as well and hopefully when I start pro boxing I’ll attract even more fans too, I feel that this is really good for the sport, not just by being able to attract new blood from the other sports, but also by doing that introduce new fans to both sports.

 

I’m really looking forward to the 23rd May and the beginning of a new pro boxing career for myself.”

 

On Saturday May 23rd, Hunt will be in first class company, as others boxing on the star studded bill include; reigning World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Welterweight Champion Chris Goodwin in action against London’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander.

Reigning World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Super Bantamweight Champion, Paul Economides, former British Super Middleweight and International Boxing Organisation (IBO) International Light Heavyweight Champion Tony Dodson.

BBBofC Welsh Area Middleweight Champion Lee Churcher, Britse, Commonwealth and WBF World Title challenger Tony Moran in a local derby with Blackpool’s Mathew Ellis, and Prizefighter Light Middleweight finalist and English title challenger Nick Quigley, who is set to face Scunthorpe’s highly entertaining Jody Meikle.

Iemand se "O" het om te gaan - sensasionele Counihan Stop Radic In One

Skryf 'n opmerking

Op Vrydag nag, op die Stephen Vaughan rooi mis gebeurtenis bevorder, wat plaasgevind het by die Grand Central Hall in Liverpool, Birmingham se Antonio Counihan behaal nog 'n groot oorwinning, toe hy gestop voorheen onoorwonne Lukas Radic van die Tsjeggiese Republiek.

 

Met beide spelers gretig hande van die kosbare "O" te hou op hul rekord, daar is gebind paar senuwees gerinkel te wees, nie net die vegters, maar ook van hul familie en ondersteuners sit ringside, veral wanneer die bout het aan die gang.

 

Dit was Radic wat het die vroeë voordeel, kom hard uit en vinnig op soek na nog 'n vroeë einde, egter die Counihan was pla, plaas die verkiesing om te boks uit die agterkant van sy uitstekende steek, wat effektief gehou die gevaarlike Tsjeggiese op 'n afstand en die wiele gery sy vroeë pogings.

 

Rondom die twee minute merk, net soos Radic gedwing om sy pad vorentoe weer, Counihan versterk met 'n groot reg Radic af na die doek te stuur.

 

Net soos die skeidsregter Mickey Vann was oor die einde van die telling te bereik, Radic daarin geslaag om te maak dit net aan sy voete, hoewel 'n bietjie onvas. Mickey Vann nagegaan om te verseker dat Radic kon voortgaan, voor die herlaai van die bout.

 

Die oomblik wat hy gedoen het om die voormalige Engelse amateur-kaptein het reguit op die aanval, met 'n dubbele handed aanranding beide die kop en lyf, Radic gedek, maar die krag van die skote reën op hom was te veel en binne sekondes die onvermydelike gebeur en Radic het sy tweede besoek aan die doek.

 

Weereens Radic net dit aan sy voete, maar is duidelik gedisoriënteerd, verlaat skeidsregter Mickey Vann geen opsie noem 'n einde te bring aan die verrigtinge van die twee minute en twintig tweede punt van die eerste ronde.

 

Die oorwinning te beskryf as besliste is 'n understatement, Counihan se klas het geskitter deur, sonder twyfel die 23 jaar oud was homself een van die voorste jong vooruitsigte in die ultra-mededingende liggewig-afdeling te wees.

 

Praat van sy huis vroeër Counihan gesels kortliks oor die stryd en die moontlikheid van sy eerste uitdaging vir 'n kampioenskap in die nabye toekoms.

 

"Ja goed soos almal gesê het voordat dit is 'n baie belangrike stryd, beide Lukas en myself was onoorwonne, so iemand se "O" het om te gaan, wat op sigself voeg ekstra druk op die nag.

 

Ongelukkig was hy 'n laat plaasvervanger, ons het nie iets oor hom weet, ander as wat hy was onoorwonne met twee groot oponthoud oorwinnings, so nie regtig tyd om voor te berei vir hom spesifiek, maar as die oorspronklike teenstander was 'n moeilike groot slaner het ons geweet ons voorbereiding genoeg om ons deur te sien moet wees.

 

Ek het goed gevoel, regtig 'n goeie, beste vorm van my lewe, wat is 'n krediet aan my span, beste wat ek nog ooit gevoel gaan in 'n geveg, Ek was lekker en ontspanne en net doos die manier waarop ons beplan.

 

Hy is 'n goeie bokser, wat dit makliker gemaak vir my, Ek hou van boks mense wat gelukkig is om te boks, eerder as hou al die tyd.

 

Ek het nie verwag om te stop hom alleen so vroeg laat, net alles oopgemaak vir my en die skoot was in die kol en hy het afgegaan, daarna het ek geweet ek kon hom daar uit, só het in die afwerking.

 

Gaan 'n bietjie rus te nou en dan terug in die gym kry en begin voorberei vir my volgende stryd, wat in Leeds sal wees op Junie 7ste.

 

Na wat hopelik my eerste titel stryd, Ek het al gesê dit sal in Birmingham of Coventry wees, wat mooi en plaaslike vir my fans vir 'n verandering sal wees.

 

Praat oor my fans, Ek het om te sê 'n groot dankie aan hulle, hulle is ongelooflik hulle reis oor die hele land om my te ondersteun, jy kan dit altyd hoor, hulle is groot, bring hulle hul swaarverdiende geld kom om my te ondersteun, Ek kan net nie genoeg dankie sê nie. "

Khan Marches On - TKO Win Oor Miko lei tot 2 Mei titel geskiet In Londen

Skryf 'n opmerking

Op Vrydag aand Bradford se Tasif Khan behaal nog 'n opspraakwekkende eerste ronde oponthoud oorwinning, hierdie keer oor Tsjeggiese Republiek se Ladislav Miko, op die Stephen Vaughan bevorder rooi mis geleentheid by die Grand Central Hall in Liverpool.

 

Van die opening klok was dit Miko dit was die meer aggressiewe, neem om die stryd te Khan, egter om dit te doen die Tsjeggiese vegter gespeel reguit in die Bradford man se hande.

 

Khan het verwag Miko te begin vinnig en as sodanig toe die Tsjeggiese vegter gevorderde vinnig, Khan eenvoudig gedans aan die kant en laat rip met 'n skoot na die liggaam.

 

Miko se lyftaal het dit duidelik gestel dat hy seergekry, so geen verrassing dat toe hy in hard en vinnig weer dat die vaardig Khan gebruik 'n soortgelyke taktiek, hierdie tyd gly aan die regterkant en laat rip met 'n ander liggaam geskiet, gevolg deur 'n scintillatingly vinnige double handed salvo aan beide liggaam en kop.

 

Rondom die vyf en veertig tweede merk, Miko, wat duidelik nie geleer om 'n bietjie versigtig te wees, gemaak nog kragtige aanval, hierdie tyd al Khan gooi 'n soliede steek, gevolg deur 'n Uppercut en dan net sy voete geplant en sit volle krag in 'n weerlig snel links haak, die Tsjeggiese seun te stuur na die doek.

 

Miko daarin geslaag om die telling te maak, maar sekondes later stap reguit in 'n ander groot links na die liggaam. Hierdie keer Miko regtig gesukkel om die telling te maak, net die bestuur om dit te doen, maar baie onvas op sy voete, verlaat skeidsregter Jimmy Byrne geen ander keuse as om die bout te waai af aan die een minuut en vyftien tweede punt van die eerste ronde.

 

Onmiddellik na die ontvangs van die oorwinnaar se louere Khan is ook ingelig deur sy span dat hy sou kry vir sy eerste kampioenskap toekenning te daag, die Internasionale Masters kapokgewigtitel, op sy volgende beplande uitstappie, wat sal wees op die Billy James-Elliott en Mark Lyons bevorder Heer van die ringe geleentheid by York Hall in Londen op Mei 2nd.

 

Volgende ontvangs van hierdie nuus Khan het kortliks oor die stryd, asook sy komende titel stryd.

 

"Ja briljante, dit was net briljante.

 

Ek kan nie kla dat hy nie die laaste 'n ronde, Ek sou verkies het dit op 'n bietjie langer weg, Ek bedoel dit was 'n ses veelsydige en ek sou regtig graag 'n paar rondtes onder my gordel te kry, maar as ek gesê het voordat jy nie oortyd in hierdie wedstryd betaal.

 

Ons het geweet dat hy sou begin vinnig en jaag in en die plan was om af te werk my steek hom te vertraag, basies om te probeer en kry die ses rondes onder my gordel.

 

Dit het nie heeltemal gebeur dat die pad as hy regtig gekom by my baie vinniger as wat verwag is, plaas het ek aangepas en hom gevang met 'n goeie skoot, Ek sien sy bene buig 'n bietjie, maar hy bly op sy voete.

 

Hy is 'n spel vegter, die meeste mense sou gerugsteun het om af te hulself tyd gee om te herstel, nie vir hom gesê hy het terug gekom na my weer hard, wat het my die geleentheid om hom te 'n bietjie meer boks en vang hom as hy terug kom in.

 

Ek het hom gevang goed met die Uppercut en dan die liggaam geskiet, wat hy het saam met.

 

Toe het ek min of meer dieselfde ná die begin, hoewel nie dink dat ek het hom gevang heeltemal so goed as die eerste keer, maar toe hy opgestaan ​​Ek dink nie hy wou nie om te weet, selfs al is die ref het dit laat voortgaan.

 

Hopelik af en boontoe nou, Ek het gepraat met my span en vertel ons het 'n titelgeveg georganiseer vir Mei 2nd in York Hall, dieselfde nag as Mayweather-Pacquaio stryd, so hopelik sal ek haal my eerste titel, die Internasionale Masters, en bring dit terug na Bradford.

 

Soos jy kan sien my fans uitgedraai in krag en maak 'n klomp van die geraas, hulle is almal ringside, hulle is lief vir hul boks, dit is 'n boks stad Bradford, hulle moet net meer shows om daar te kom.

 

My aanhangers is groot, hulle reis om my te sien, laaste keer was dit London, hierdie tyd Liverpool en natuurlik is dit terug na Londen weer op Mei 2nd.

 

Op die oomblik het ek nie die geleentheid gekry om te kies waar ek veg, hopelik as ek wen die titel miskien kan ons 'n promotor kry om te sit op 'n show in Bradford sodat selfs meer van my fans sal 'n kans kry om my weer te kyk.

 

Ek is dankbaar vir my span, die opleiding het baie goed, Ek voel sterk, Ek voel goed en die ondersteuners kom in werking te ondersteun my voeg tot daardie.

 

My borge, Kingsland Besigheid Recovery in Bradford, Broadway Solicitors in Oldham, Kesser Juweliers in Bradford en Vyomax Aanvullings van Manchester, is absoluut groot.

Birmingham Liggewig sensasie Antonio Counihan is terug in aksie hierdie week, teen Richard Walter, op die Stephen Vaughan bevorder rooi mis geleentheid by die Grand Central Hall in Liverpool op Vrydag, 20ste Maart 2015.

Sedert die draai pro in Oktober 2013 Counihan, die voormalige Engelse Amateur spankaptein, het bewys een van die Verenigde Koninkryk se top vooruitsigte van die Liggewig afdeling te wees, scoring vyf top klasoorwinnings, vier van hierdie oponthoud afwerking, met Pole se Marcin Ficner die enigste opponent die afstand om te gaan met die jong Brummie ster.

Op Vrydag Counihan will face Richard Walter, who stepped in at late notice after his original opponent was forced to withdraw with a hand injury.

Walter comes into the fight off the back of an excellent first round stoppage win over Rene Oravek in February, however that doesn’t seem to bother Counihan one iota, as he made clear when he spoke earlier today.

“Really looking forward to Vrydag, should be a very good night.

I have only just heard that I’ve got a new opponent, Richard Walter, nie veel oor hom nog ken as hierdie is pas aangekondig.

Ek weet dat hy sy laaste teenstander gestop, so moet 'n goeie noue stryd wees, wat pas by my.

Moet erken ek is 'n bietjie teleurgesteld met so 'n laat verandering, maar wat kan jy doen, vegters beseer in die gimnasium al die tyd, Ek sal net gaan daar buite en boks die manier wat ek altyd doen, en as alles goed gaan, sal ek nog 'n goeie oorwinning kry onder my gordel.

Het vyf gevegte nou, het al van hulle, vier van hulle deur TKO, so ek sien uit na beweeg op die ranglys, want ek wil 'n skoot op 'n titel gou.

Laaste keer uit 'n werklike goeie stryd met Dawid Kis het, Ek was baie tevrede met die manier waarop stryd het.

Dit was 'n baie goeie prestasie, Ek is tevrede met dit, geluister na my hoek en gedoen soos hulle sê en het hom daar in die derde.

Hopelik sal ek in 'n soortgelyke soort van prestasie Vrydag, Ek sê nie dit sal 'n ander TKO wen, maar as dit gebeur Ek 'n welbehae sal wees, Ek wil net 'n goeie prestasie vir die ondersteuners te sit.

Praat oor my fans, hulle werklik is fantasties, hulle reis om my te sien veg elke keer, Ek kan nie dankbaar genoeg vir hul ondersteuning, Ek bedoel wat hulle gehad het om te reis na Londen vir vier van my gevegte en nou hier is ons weer op die pad, hierdie tyd Liverpool en hulle sal daar wees juig my op 'n keer, hulle werklik is briljant.

Ek kan net behoorlik bedank hulle vir hul ondersteuning deur hou goed presteer en natuurlik hou om te wen. "

Groot begin van die Jaar – Sewe oorwinnings uit sewe vir TKO

Skryf 'n opmerking

Ons kan slegs net veertig dae of so in die Nuwe Jaar, maar Johnny Eames en die Champions TKO span is reeds baie, baie gelukkig met die manier waarop alles gaan vir hulle in 2015. Eerstens, hulle het nuwe perseel vir die beroemde gym en nou net meer as twee weke in die nuwe boks jaar het 'n string van sewe suksesse vir hul steeds groeiende stal van boksers het.

 

Vroeër vandag die bogenoemde Mnr. Eames het 'n bietjie tyd uit sy besige skedule om te praat oor die uitstekende begin tot die jaar, vir sy hoogs talentvolle jong vooruitsigte.

 

"Ja, Wat 'n goeie begin tot die jaar vir die Champions TKO seuns.

 

Eerste aan die beurt ons het vier seuns uit by York-saal op die 30ste Januarie, Ongelukkig kon ek nie kry om die show, want my ketel bars en my huis is oorstroom, maar ek het in kontak met almal om seker te maak die seuns was alright.

 

Eerste in aksie was Antonio Counihan en van wat ek gehoor het hy in 'n ander pragtige prestasie, gestop sy teenstander in die derde, na die stryd oorheers van die begin af.

 

Soos belowe hy het nou 'n agt veelsydige in sy volgende geveg, op die Stephen Vaughan show in Liverpool op die 20ste Maart.

 

Dan hopelik sal hy iets kry om te doen in Birmingham vir 'n MBC Internasionale titel of soortgelyke.

 

Volgende op daardie show was Tasif Khan, seuntjie het hy skud die roes af, kort en sweet, gestop sy teenstander in net vyf en sestig sekondes.

 

Van wat ek gehoor het hy op 'n fantastiese vertoning, afgebrand het ek dit gemis, maar hopelik kry hom volgende keer dat hy uit om te sien, wat ook op die Stephen Vaughan Liverpool show Maart.

 

Blykbaar het die stryd van die nag was ons Onder Ozgul se, die werklike opwinding stuk Rio (TKO se Gianluca Di Caro) gesê, al die aksie en op 'n hoë tempo soos gewoonlik uit Onder.

 

Hierdie kind se reg om nou beweeg op ses veelsydige, soos sy broer Siar, om eerlik te wees met jou.

 

As ek nou net gesê Siar het sy eerste ses veelsydige, weer 'n kraak stryd deur al die rekeninge, almal is so tevrede met sy vertoning op die nag.

 

Dit klink soos hy geleer het om sy tempo nou oordeel, eerder as om te gaan hamer en tang vir die hele ses rondes, Hy tempo homself mooi vir die volle ses rondes.

 

Op die volgende nag het ons Charlie Edwards, maak sy debuut, en Tommy Martin veg vir die Engelse titel by die O2.

 

Charlie, wat kan ek sê hy is f ** koning geweldige.

 

Vir 'n kind met sy professionele debuut, Ek was so beïndruk met sy houding en professionalisme, hy het nooit gewankel het van wat hy moes doen en die geleentheid het nooit aan hom.

 

Toe hy in die ring wat hy was lekker en koel, geluister na elke woord wat Brian (Brian O'Shaughnessy afrigter) gesê.

 

Ek het vir hom gesê dat hy nie hoef te beïndruk, want hy is 'n baie goeie elk geval, so nie nodig om te probeer en 'n goeie, as hy.

 

Dit was 'n absoluut volmaakte wedstryd vir sy eerste stryd, nie 'n wedstryd sonder mededingers dat sommige van die groot name kry, Hy was 'n baie moeilike kind, wat gekom het om te veg en werklik geglo het hy kon wen, wat gespeel regs in Charlie's hande.

 

Die kind het 'n sistematiese klop van ronde 1-4, maar wat nie weg van die kind se eie inspanning, want hy was regtig probeer en dan Charlie het hom gevang goed met sowat ses sekondes om te gaan en dit was dit.

 

Dit was net ongelooflik, ongelooflike Ek was net so beïndruk met Charlie.

 

Toe het ons die Tommy Martin, wat kan ek sê hierdie kind geloop het in ons gym twee en 'n half jaar gelede, net agtien jaar oud en ek het 'n bietjie dobbel nie op hom en ek het sy pa ná sy eerste stryd, eintlik voor die stryd wat ek wil waarborg hom tien oorwinnings en dan sal ek hom laat af die voortou, ons verlos het uit ons einde, ons het hom tien uit tien.

 

Ek moet erken ek was senuweeagtig gaan in die stryd, natuurlik met opgeleide sy teenstander, Ricky Boylan, voorheen so geweet Ricky is 'n moeilike kind en het gedink hy kan outman Tommy, maar dit was heeltemal andersom, Tommy outmanned hom om eerlik te wees.

 

Tommy vertraag om die sesde ronde en ek was bekommerd dat hy iets het oorgebly in die gimnasium, maar geen probleem kom hy terug sterker.

 

Ek kan eerlik sê dat ek dink Tommy slegs twee rondes verloor, miskien een of twee kon gedeel het, maar dit sou wees om goed te Ricky, Dit is hoeveel Tommy die stryd oorheers.

 

Die tellings was 99-92 en 97-93 twee keer, soos jy kan sien hulle op groot skaal in die guns van Tommy en tereg.

 

Fair speel Ricky hy nooit opgehou kom, as ons geweet het hy sou, maar vir my Ricky het nie genoeg beweging het, Hy het sy kop beweeg wanneer dit uit reeks, maar was nie toe hy nodig het om te.

 

Nou op ons nuutste debutant, Mickey O'Rourke, Maar eers moet ek al die ondersteuners wat opgedaag het vir hom dankie.

 

Hy verkoop twee honderd en twintig kaartjies maar meer opgedaag en kaartjies gekoop op die nag, so het waarskynlik sowat twee vyftig beurt uit om hom te ondersteun.

 

Hulle was 'n groot, baie, baie luidrugtig, hulle het dit 'n groot nag vir hom.

 

Mickey was 'n bietjie senuweeagtig in die eerste ronde, sodra hy terug na die hoek Brian (Brian O'Shaughnessy afrigter) gesorteer hom uit.

 

Óf manier waarop hy nog het die eerste ronde gemaklik, die ander kind het dit moeilik vir hom, soos die vashou al die tyd, maar Mickey ontken alles wat hy probeer doen.

 

Gelukkig het die skeidsregter was ook vinnig om hulle te breek elke keer as die kind gegryp Mickey, plus ons het Mickey te laat gaan met meer as een skoot om hom te verhinder om in hom te gryp.

 

Hy het die bout 40-36 maar die manier waarop hy die doos in die laaste ronde van die ander kind het goed gedoen om vas te hou aan die einde.

 

In regverdigheid die kind het na my toe na die stryd en het gesê: "Johnny jammer, maar as ek hom nie hou, hy gestop het my nie. "

 

Ek is tevrede met wat, Hy was net sy werk doen en ek dink Mickey uit die stryd baie geleer.

 

Die ondersteuners het dit, die eerste ronde soos ek gesê het, was 'n bietjie koel, maar die volgende drie rondes was opwindend, Mickey gaan 'n skare verblydend vegter te wees, daar is geen twee maniere oor dit, en ek is bly om deel te wees van sy reis.

 

My maat Colin hom gestuur het na my en hy is baie goed geskool by Dale Jeug, wat my werk 'n bietjie makliker gemaak en ek sien uit na sy volgende geveg op die 21st Maart.

 

Ek hoop dat al die ondersteuners wat bygewoon weer kom, as wat hy nodig het om al die ondersteuning wat hy kan kry as sonder kaartjieverkope die reis tot stilstand kom en hierdie kinders te goed dat dit gebeur.

 

Wat kan ek sê, fantastiese resultate vir al die seuns en natuurlik Champions TKO, sewe uit sewe, jy kan nie beter as dit kry, hopelik het ons het die tendens vir 2015 "
