På fredag nat, 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.

 

Arrangementet, 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 vinder) 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 på fredag 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 (to gange) og 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 (UK)

 

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 (UK)

 

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.

Efterlad en kommentar

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, på lørdag 23rd Maj 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.

 

Maj 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.

 

På 23rd Maj, 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, British, Commonwealth and European Champion Kevin Satchell and WBO European Champion Iain Butcher amongst other notable stars.

 

What’s more, maj 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.

 

Hvad en kamp, 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.

 

Den May 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 Debut, Liverpool 23rd May

Efterlad en kommentar

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 Maj.

 

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 25th July in Malta.

 

That was a shock, so let’s get it done, that’s the good thing about Steve, du ved, 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.

Nogen "O" Måtte gå - Sensational Counihan Stopper Radic In One

Efterlad en kommentar

På fredag nat, på Stephen Vaughan forfremmet Red Mist event, der fandt sted på Grand Central Hall i Liverpool, Birminghams Antonio Counihan scoret en anden stor gevinst, da han stoppede tidligere ubesejret Lukas Radic fra Tjekkiet.

 

Med begge hovedpersoner opsat på at holde fat i den dyrebare 'O' på deres post, der blev bundet til at være nogle nerver raslende, ikke kun krigere, men også fra deres familie og fans siddende ringside, især når kampen kom i gang.

 

Det var Radic, der tog den tidlige fordel, kommer ud hårdt og hurtigt på udkig efter en anden tidlig afslutning, men Counihan var uanfægtet, i stedet vælge at boksen ud på bagsiden af ​​hans fremragende jab, som effektivt holdt den farlige tjekkiske på afstand og modarbejdet hans tidlige forsøg.

 

Omkring de to minutter, ligesom Radic tvang sig vej frem igen, Counihan trådte ind med en stor ret til at sende Radic ned til lærredet.

 

Ligesom dommer Mickey Vann var ved at nå slutningen af ​​optællingen, Radic formåede at bare gøre det på benene, omend lidt usikkert. Mickey Vann kontrolleres for at sikre, at Radic var i stand til at fortsætte, før du genstarter kampen.

 

I det øjeblik han gjorde den tidligere England amatør kaptajn gik lige til angreb, med en dobbelt afleveret overfald til både hoved og krop, Radic dækket op, men magt skud regnet ned over ham, var for meget, og inden for få sekunder det uundgåelige skete, og Radic gjorde sit andet besøg i lærredet.

 

Igen Radic lige gjort det på benene, men var klart desorienteret, forlader dommer Mickey Vann ingen indstilling sætte en stopper for en sag om to minutter og 28 sekunder mærke af første runde.

 

At beskrive sejren som empatisk er en underdrivelse, Counihan klasse skinnede igennem, uden tvivl den 23 årige viste sig at være en af ​​de førende unge udsigter i ultra konkurrencedygtige letvægts division.

 

Taler fra sit hjem tidligere Counihan talte kort om kampen og muligheden for hans første udfordring for en Championship i nær fremtid.

 

"Yeah godt som alle havde sagt, før det er en meget vigtig kamp, både Lukas og jeg selv var ubesejret, så nogens O måtte gå, som i sig selv at tilføje ekstra pres på natten.

 

Desværre var han en sen erstatning, Vi vidste ikke noget om ham, andet end han var ubesejret med to store stop vinder, så virkelig ikke få tid til at forberede ham specifikt, men da den oprindelige modstander var en hård stor hitter vi vidste vores forberedelser bør være nok til at se os igennem.

 

Jeg følte mig godt, virkelig god, bedste form af mit liv, som er en kredit til mit hold, bedste jeg nogensinde har følt at gå ind i en kamp, Jeg var nice og afslappet og bare boxed den måde, vi planlagde.

 

Han er en god bokser, hvilket gjorde det lettere for mig, Jeg kan lide boksning mennesker, der er glade for at bokse i stedet for at holde på hele tiden.

 

Jeg havde ikke forventet at stoppe ham endsige så tidligt, bare alt åbnet for mig og skuddet var stedet på og han gik ned, efter at jeg vidste, at jeg kunne få ham ud derfra, så gik for finish.

 

Vil have lidt hvile nu og da komme tilbage i gymnastiksalen og begynde at forberede min næste kamp, som vil være i Leeds juni 7th.

 

Derefter forhåbentlig få min første titel kamp, Jeg har fået at vide det vil være i Birmingham eller Coventry, som vil være rart og lokal for mine fans for en ændring.

 

Taler om mine fans, Jeg må sige en stor tak til dem, de er utroligt de rejser over hele landet for at støtte mig, kan du altid høre dem, de er store, de bruger deres hårdt tjente penge, der kommer for at støtte mig, Jeg kan bare ikke takke dem nok. "

Khan Marches On - TKO sejr over Miko fører til 2 maj Titel skud i London

Efterlad en kommentar

På fredag Aftenen Bradfords TASIF Khan scorede en anden sensationelle første runde arbejdsnedlæggelse sejr, denne tid over Tjekkiets Ladislav Miko, på Stephen Vaughan forfremmet Red Mist event på Grand Central Hall i Liverpool.

 

Fra åbningen klokken var Miko der var mere aggressiv, tager kampen til Khan, men i den forbindelse den tjekkiske fighter spillede lige ind i Bradford mands hænder.

 

Khan havde forventet Miko at starte hurtig og som sådan, når den tjekkiske fighter avancerede hurtigt, Khan simpelthen dansede til siden og lad rip en chance til kroppen.

 

Miko kropssprog gjort det helt klart, at han var blevet såret, så ingen overraskelse, at da han kom i hårdt og hurtigt igen, at den kyndige Khan udnyttede en lignende taktik, denne gang glide til højre og lade rip med et andet organ skudt, fulgt op af en scintillatingly hurtig dobbelt handed salve til både krop og hoved.

 

På omkring 45 sekunder varemærke, Miko, der tydeligvis ikke havde lært at være lidt forsigtig, lavede endnu en insisterende angreb, denne gang dog Khan smed en solid jab, efterfulgt af en uppercut og så bare plantet sine fødder og sætte fuld kraft ind i en lynhurtig venstre hook, at sende den tjekkiske dreng til lærredet.

 

Miko formået at gøre optællingen, men sekunder senere gik lige ind i en anden stor venstre til kroppen. Denne gang Miko virkelig kæmpet for at gøre optællingen, bare formår at gøre det, men var meget usikker på benene, forlader dommer Jimmy Byrne ingen anden mulighed end at vinke kampen ud på et minut og femten sekunder mærke af første runde.

 

Umiddelbart efter at have modtaget Victors laurbærrene Khan blev af hans hold, at han ville komme til at udfordre hans første mesterskab udmærkelse, Den Internationale Masters Bantamvægt titel, på hans næste planlagte udflugt, som vil være på Billy James-Elliott og Mark Lyons forfremmet Ringenes Herre arrangement på York Hall i London på maj 2ND.

 

Efter at have modtaget denne nyhed Khan talte kort om kampen samt hans kommende titel kamp.

 

"Yeah strålende, det var blot strålende.

 

Jeg kan ikke klage over, at han ikke holdt en runde, Jeg ville have foretrukket det var gået på en lidt længere, Jeg mener, det var en seks rundere og jeg ville virkelig gerne få nogle runder under mit bælte, men som jeg har sagt før du ikke får betalt overarbejde i dette spil.

 

Vi vidste, at han ville starte hurtig og haste ind og planen var at arbejde fra mit jab at bremse ham ned, dybest set for at forsøge at få de seks runder under mit bælte.

 

Det gjorde ikke helt ske på den måde, som han virkelig kom til mig meget hurtigere end forventet, i stedet jeg tilpasset og fangede ham med et godt skud, Jeg ser hans ben spænde lidt, men han opholdt sig på benene.

 

Han er et spil fighter, de fleste mennesker ville have bakket ud til at give sig selv tid til at komme, ikke ham, han kom tilbage på mig hårdt igen, som gav mig mulighed for at boksen ham en lille smule mere og fange ham, da han kom tilbage i.

 

Jeg fangede ham godt med uppercut og så kroppen skudt, som han gik ned med.

 

Så jeg gjorde mere eller mindre det samme efter genstarten, selvom troede ikke, jeg havde fanget ham helt så godt som første gang, men da han stod op tror jeg ikke, han ønskede at vide mere, selv om dommeren havde lade det fortsætte.

 

Forhåbentlig fremefter og opad nu, Jeg har talt med mit team og fået at vide, at vi har fået en titel kamp afholdt for maj 2ND i York Hall, Samme nat som Mayweather-Pacquaio kamp, så forhåbentlig vil jeg hente min første titel, International Masters, og bringe det tilbage til Bradford.

 

Som du kan se mine fans viste sig i kraft, og gøre en masse af støj, de er alle ringside, de elsker deres boksning, det er en boksning by Bradford, de har brug for lige at få flere shows der.

 

Mine fans er stor, de rejser til se mig, sidste gang var det London, denne gang Liverpool og naturligvis er det tilbage til London igen på maj 2ND.

 

I øjeblikket har jeg ikke fik mulighed for at vælge, hvor jeg kæmper, forhåbentlig, hvis jeg vinder titlen måske kan vi få en promotor til at sætte på et show i Bradford, så endnu flere af mine fans vil få en chance for at se mig igen.

Jeg kan ikke takke alle nok for deres støtte, især da jeg har været ude så længe, støtten var fantastisk sidste timeout og vil blive endnu bedre denne gang, det betyder så meget at have de fans hepper dig på, det virkelig.

 

Ikke kun fans, sponsorerne også, som en fighter, du har brug for at være i stand til at fokusere, og som har sponsorer støtter din karriere tager lidt presset.

 

Jeg er virkelig taknemmelig for Kingsland Forretning Recovery i Bradford, Broadway Advokater i Oldham, Kesser Jewelers i Bradford og Vyomax Kosttilskud fra Manchester, uden hvis støtte ville det være meget sværere for mig at være i stand til at koncentrere sig om mine forberedelser, som jeg har.

Efterlad en kommentar

 

Birmingham Letvægts sensation Antonio Counihan er tilbage i aktion i denne uge, mod Richard Walter, på Stephen Vaughan forfremmet Red Mist event på Grand Central Hall i Liverpool på fredag, 20th Marts 2015.

Siden dreje pro i oktober 2013 Counihan, den tidligere England Amatør holdkaptajn, har vist sig at være en af ​​Storbritanniens bedste udsigter Lightweight division, lave fem øverste klasse vinder, fire af disse ved standsning slut, med Polens Marcin Ficner er den eneste modstander at stå distancen med den unge Brummie stjerne.

På fredag I morgen Counihan ansigt 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 Fredag, should be a very good night.

I have only just heard that I’ve got a new opponent, Richard Walter, don’t know much about him yet as this has just been announced.

Jeg ved, at han stoppede sin sidste modstander, så skal være en god tæt kamp, der passer mig.

Må indrømme jeg er lidt skuffet over sådan en sen ændring, men hvad kan du gøre, krigere kommer til skade i gymnastiksalen hele tiden, Jeg vil bare gå ud og boks, som jeg altid gør, og hvis alt går godt jeg får en anden god sejr hjem.

Havde fem kampe nu, vandt dem alle, fire af dem ved TKO, så glæder mig til at flytte op af ranglisten, fordi jeg ønsker et skud på en titel snart.

Sidste gang ud havde en virkelig god kamp med David Kis, Jeg var virkelig tilfreds med den måde, som kampen gik.

Det var en rigtig god præstation, Jeg var tilfreds med det, lyttede til mit hjørne og gjorde, som de sagde, og fik ham ud derfra i den tredje.

Forhåbentlig vil jeg sætte i en lignende slags præstationer på fredag, Jeg siger ikke, det vil være en anden TKO sejr, men hvis det sker, vil jeg være godt tilfreds, Jeg ønsker blot at sætte på en god præstation for fans.

Taler om mine fans, de virkelig er fantastisk, de rejser til se mig bekæmpe hver gang, Jeg kan ikke takke dem nok for deres støtte, Jeg mener, de har haft til at rejse til London for fire af mine kampe, og nu er vi her på vej igen, denne gang Liverpool, og de vil være der hepper mig på en gang mere, de virkelig er strålende.

Jeg kan kun takke dem ordentligt for deres støtte ved at holde klarer sig godt, og naturligvis holde vinde. "

God start på året – Syv Vinder ud af syv For TKO

Efterlad en kommentar

Vi kan kun være lige 40 dage eller deromkring i det nye år, men Johnny Eames og Champions TKO holdet er allerede meget, meget tilfreds med den måde alt går for dem i 2015. Første off, de sikrede nye lokaler til den berømte fitness og nu lidt over to uger inde i det nye Boxing år har haft en perlerække af syv succeser for deres stadigt voksende stabil af boksere.

 

Tidligere i dag førnævnte hr. Eames tog lidt tid ud af sin travle kalender til at tale om den fremragende start på året, for hans meget talentfulde unge udsigter.

 

"Yeah, hvad en god start på året for de Champions TKO drenge.

 

Først op havde vi fire drenge ud på York Hall på 30th Januar, Desværre kunne jeg ikke få til showet, fordi min kedel briste og mit hus blev oversvømmet, men jeg holdt kontakten med alle for at sikre drengene var okay.

 

Først i aktion var Antonio Counihan og fra hvad jeg hørte, han sætter i en anden fantastisk præstation, stoppede sin modstander i tredje, efter at dominere kampen fra starten.

 

Som lovet han nu har en otte rounder i sin næste kamp, på Stephen Vaughan show i Liverpool på 20th Marts.

 

Så forhåbentlig vil han komme til at gøre noget op i Birmingham for en MBC international titel eller lignende.

 

Næste op på, at showet var TASIF Khan, dreng gjorde han ryste rust off, kort og sved, stoppede sin modstander på bare 65 sekunder.

 

Fra hvad jeg hørte, han sat på en fantastisk skærm, renset jeg savnede det, men forhåbentlig får at se ham næste gang han er ude, der er også på Stephen Vaughan Liverpool show marts.

 

Tilsyneladende kampen om natten var vores Onder Ozgul s, den virkelige Barnstormer Rio (TKO Gianluca Di Caro) sagde, al handling og i et højt tempo, som sædvanlig fra Onder.

 

Denne kid klar til at flytte ind på seks rundbold nu, ligesom sin bror Siar, at være ærlig med dig.

 

Som jeg lige har sagt Siar gjorde sit første seks rounder, igen en krakning kamp efter alt at dømme, alle er så tilfreds med sin præstation på natten.

 

Det lyder som han har lært at dømme hans tempo nu, snarere end gå hammer og tænger for hele seks runder, Han paced sig pænt for de fulde seks runder.

 

På den følgende nat havde vi Charlie Edwards, debuterer, og Tommy Martin kæmpe for den engelske titel på O2.

 

Charlie, hvad kan jeg sige, at han var f ** king enorm.

 

For et barn har hans professionelle debut, Jeg var så imponeret over hans attitude og professionalisme, han aldrig vaklet fra, hvad han havde at gøre, og i anledning fik aldrig ham.

 

Da han kom i ringen, han var nice og cool, lyttede til hvert ord, Brian (coach Brian O'Shaughnessy) sagde.

 

Jeg fortalte ham, at han ikke behøvede at imponere, fordi han er meget god alligevel, så ingen grund til at forsøge at være god, da han er.

 

Det var en helt perfekt match for hans første kamp, ikke en walkover, at nogle af de store navne får, han var en meget hård kid, der kom til at kæmpe og virkelig troede, at han kunne vinde, som spillede lige ind Charlies hænder.

 

The kid fik en systematisk prygl fra runde 1-4, men som ikke tage væk fra børnenes egen indsats, fordi han virkelig forsøgte og så Charlie fangede ham godt med omkring seks sekunder til at gå, og det var det.

 

Det var bare utroligt, utroligt Jeg var lige så imponeret over Charlie.

 

Derefter havde vi vores Tommy Martin, hvad kan jeg sige dette barn gik ind i vores træningscenter to et halvt år siden nu, blot halvandet år, og jeg tog lidt gamble på ham, og jeg sagde til sin far efter hans første kamp, faktisk før kampen, at jeg ville garantere ham ti sejre og så vil jeg lade ham føringen, vi leveret fra vores ende, vi fik ham topkarakter.

 

Jeg må indrømme, jeg var nervøs gå ind i kampen, naturligvis have trænet sin modstander, Ricky Boylan, tidligere så vidste Ricky er en hård dreng og troede han kan outman Tommy, men det var helt omvendt, Tommy outmanned ham til at være fair.

 

Tommy bremset omkring den sjette runde, og jeg var bange for, at han havde forladt noget i gymnastiksalen, men ikke noget problem, han kom tilbage stærkere.

 

Jeg kan ærligt sige, jeg tror Tommy kun tabt to runder, måske en eller to kunne have været delt, men det ville være at være venlige over for Ricky, Så meget Tommy dominerede kampen.

 

Pointene blev 99-92 og 97-93 to gange, som du kan se, de var massivt ind for Tommy og med rette.

 

Fair play til Ricky han desværre kommer, da vi vidste, at han ville, men for mig Ricky ikke havde nok bevægelse, han bevægede sit hoved, når uden for rækkevidde, men var ikke, da han havde brug for at.

 

Nu onto vores seneste debutant, Mickey O'Rourke, men først vil jeg gerne takke alle de fans, der mødte op for ham.

 

Han solgte 220 billetter, men mere dukkede op og købte billetter om natten, så sandsynligvis havde omkring to halvtreds tur ud for at støtte ham.

 

De var store, meget, meget højrøstede, de gjorde det en stor aften for ham.

 

Mickey var lidt nervøs i første runde, når han kom tilbage til hjørnet Brian (coach Brian O'Shaughnessy) sorteres ham ud.

 

Uanset hvad han stadig vandt første runde komfortabelt, den anden kid gjorde det svært for ham, som at holde hele tiden, men Mickey negeret alt, hvad han forsøgte at gøre.

 

Heldigvis dommeren også var hurtig til at bryde dem op, hver gang barnet greb Mickey, plus vi fik Mickey til at give slip med mere end ét skud til at holde ham fra at komme i at få fat i ham.

 

Han vandt kampen 40-36 men den måde, han boksede i sidste runde den anden knægt gjorde det godt at holde på enden.

 

Retfærdigvis knægten kom op til mig efter kampen og sagde "Johnny beklager, men hvis jeg ikke holde ham, han ville have stoppet mig. «

 

Jeg er tilfreds med, at, han bare gør sit job, og jeg tror Mickey lært meget af kampen.

 

Fansene elskede det, den første runde, som jeg sagde, var en smule nervøs, men de næste tre runder var spændende, Mickey kommer til at være en menneskemængde glædeligt fighter, der er ingen vej uden om det, og jeg er glad for at være en del af hans rejse.

 

Min kammerat Colin sendte ham over til mig, og han er blevet meget godt skolet i Dale Ungdom, som har gjort mit job lidt lettere og jeg ser frem til hans næste kamp på 21st Marts.

 

Jeg håber, at alle de fans, der deltog komme igen, som han har brug for al den støtte, han kan få så uden billetsalg rejsen stopper, og denne børnene også godt for at det skal ske.

 

Hvad kan jeg sige, fantastiske resultater for alle drengene og selvfølgelig Champions TKO, syv ud af syv, du kan ikke få bedre end, Forhåbentlig har vi sat trenden for 2015. "
