Bailey Looks To Regain Title For Third Time, Faces Speight On Saturday

 

Slough’s Ian Bailey is hoping to regain the Southern Area Featherweight title, that he lost on the scales after failing to make championship weight, when he faced Dan Naylor back in July 2013, when he challenges reigning Champ Jamie Speight on the Goodwin Promotions event at York Hall in London this Venanta sabaton.

 

Bailey, who during his seven year pro career has held the Southern Area Featherweight crown on two previous occasions, as well as both British and International Masters titles, will be undertaking his eighth Championship contest.

 

His opponent Speight, who won the title against Craig Whyatt in May last year, will be competing in his tenth Championship bout and has held both the Feather and Super Feather Southern Area titles as well as the International Masters Light Welterweight title during his career.

 

Surpapere, as well as in the eyes of many pundits, the match up looks about as equal as it could be, as both Bailey and Speight have twelve wins each, both are superb boxers and both have minimal stoppage wins on the record, Bailey four and Speight just the one.

 

Champions TKO Gym’s head honcho and Bailey’s manager, Johnny Eames, spoke briefly about the upcoming bout and also expressed his disappointment at the fight being for the Southern Area and not the English as he had expected.

 

“Obviously we’re pleased that Ian is fighting for the Southern Area title, against Jamie Speight, which will be a great fight and would like to thank Steve Goodwin for giving Ian the opportunity to fight for the title on his show.

 

Back in December Ian was supposed to fight John Quigley for the English title, but three or four days before the fight Quigley pulled out saying he couldn’t make the weight, but nothing was done about that and Ian was dropped from the English title and two other fighters were put in instead of him, which I find pretty unfair.”

 

Bailey, who had said passively as his manager spoke then added,

 

“As Johnny says I’m really pleased to be fighting for the Southern Area title again, but that’s tinged with a little disappointment over the English title shot, which would have given much more leverage for a possible British title shot in the future, I mean an English title takes you further up the domestic rankings and ultimately could line me up for a shot at the British, well that’s what it means to me, if it had been the English title it would have been better for me career wise.

 

Don’t get me wrong I want this title back, I’m super fit, I still do things the way I normally do for a title fight, hopefully after this something bigger comes along.

 

Training has been going really good, good sparring, done some good sessions with Mitchell Smith, Mickey O’Rourke as well as with some top amateurs, so had some really good sparring for this one, yeah so preparations have gone really well.

 

It looks like it’s going to be a really good show and a really good fight, Jamie can be a runner, I think he’s going to back off to give himself some space, because I will be too much for him in every department, so he’ll do what he needs to do to try and break my rhythm and I’ll do what I need to do to get into him and do my thing.

 

Can’t wait, really looking forward to the fight and becoming a three time Champion.”

Pepi: @ChampionsTKO

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

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, Sabate 23Rd Majo 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.

 

Majo 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.

 

Sur la 23Rd Majo, Dodson, who in his previous fight secured a solid points victory over one of the toughest opponents aroundthe 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, Brita, Commonwealth and European Champion Kevin Satchell and WBO European Champion Iain Butcher amongst other notable stars.

 

What’s more, Sur majo 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.

 

Kio batalo, 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 Kovalevyep, 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.

 

Sur majo 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.

 

The Stephen Vaughan promoted NEW ERA event takes place at the Grand Central Hall, 35 Renshaw Street, Liverpool, Merseyside L1 2SF, Sabate 23Rd Majo 2015.

Khan Reigns SupremeTopples Soloninkini, Now Eyes Further Title Challenges

 

 

Bradford’s sensational Bantamweight prospect Tasif Khan secured his first Championship accolade, La Internaciaj Mastroj Bantamweight titolo, when he beat Georgia’s Mikheil Soloninkini by unanimous points decision at the iconic York Hall in London last Saturday night.

 

What really makes this achievement even more special is that Khan only returned to the ring in January this year, Sekvanta du jaron sabbatical de la sporto.

 

On his return in January Khan scored a decisive first round stoppage victory, over the highly experienced Hungarian Richard Voros, in a bout that also took place at the York Hall.

 

Khan followed that win up with an equally impressive first round stoppage victory, over Czech Republic’s Ladislav Miko, six weeks later in Liverpool.

 

Last Saturday, whilst it seems everyone else were preparing for the Mayweather-Pacquiao super fight, Khan was taking part in the biggest fight of his career to date.

 

Right from the off Khan boxed beautifully behind his solid jab to keep his slightly more experienced foe on the back foot.

 

By midway point Khan began to slow the pace, whilst continuing to keep full pressure on Soloninkini.

 

Midway through the sixth round, during a rather hectic exchange Khan was a little slow bringing up his gloves, which opened the door for Soloninkini, who let rip with a big right to send Khan to the canvas.

 

On the restart Soloninkini when in hard in an attempt to finish the still slightly wobbly legged Khan, however the Bradford lad remained calm and collected, whilst the hyper Georgian continued to come forward throwing huge bombs.

 

During a number of these skirmishes Khan sensibly grabbed hold until referee Lee Murtagh issued the order break. This tactic allowed Khan a little time in order to clear his head.

 

Soloninkini continued to push hard for the final three rounds, however Khan is one seriously cool character, he just got behind his jab and just plain boxed his way out of danger, each time the Georgian made a forceful foray.

 

After ten rounds of first class boxing from Khan, judges Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 Kaj Matt Hamilton 98-91, all scored in favour of the new International Masters Champion Tasif Khan.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Khan spoke about the fight as well as hinted at further Championship forays in the near future.

 

??Eah, I won my first title.

 

It’s been my dream since I was a kid, winning a title, hopefully this will be the first of many, onwards and upwards.

 

Saying that I don’t want to take away the importance of being the International Masters Champion, that was like winning a World title to me that night.

 

I’ve had a tough two and half years, I’ve come through it, got back fighting this year and now have a belt, yeah I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved.

 

I was absolutely fine coming into the fight, training went well, I went away with Nadeem Siddique one of my coaches, he’s a professional himself. I had a good training camp abroad, went to Greece,

 

Came into the fight brilliant, working of my jab, using my jab more as I felt I had a good chance, I was finding it quite comfortable to be honest, I was finding him quite easily with the jab.

 

He was a tough kid, took some good shots to the body, I found I could walk him down, then I think it was either the third or fourth round I overstretched my right arm, I felt at the time I must have damaged my shoulder, I tried not to show it, but as the rounds went on I struggled to throw big shots.

 

It wasn’t hurting, it did limit me on my shots as the fight went on, but I think I got a little complacent and gave him the opportunity to catch me with a good shot, it didn’t hurt me at all, but had to see that round through, because I had won every single round but that round, I boxed smart and stayed at a distance when I could and other times let him punch himself out.

 

To be honest I feel I could have stopped him, with all the pressure and that decided to just box my way through.

 

I’m really appreciative of my fans as always, they travel down to London in numbers, if all goes well though my next fight will be a lot nearer to home, maybe even Bradford, but I’m always grateful to my fans, even those that are unable to travel to watch me fight in London or Liverpool.

 

Since day one I’ve had good support, a great fan base, but fighting away all the time makes it hard for everyone to be at every fight, so I’d really love to do something big in Bradford, or at least more local and fingers crossed we’ll get a big title on that show.

 

I’d like to thank all my team, Martin Stainsby, Bee, Junior Witter, Rio (Gianluca Di Caro), Johnny Eames and all those that work behind the scene, I can’t forget to mention my Missus, she puts in all the hard work and puts up with me when I’m on a diet and my family, who have all been so supportive.

 

Before I forget I want to make a comment, I’ve been boxing since the age of ten, I made my mind up as the years went on that I wanted to really do something in Boxing, I had no intention of just making up the numbers, I had no option, I want to do well and win titles, I want to put Bradford on the map, winning the International Masters title has put me in the right direction, as such I want to dedicate the win to my eldest brother Tahir Khan, because if it wasn’t for him pointing me in the right direction, he’d keep me fit and take me to the gym, he’s the first person to totally support me in boxing, always been there for me and he’s the one that made all this possible.

 

As I say if it wasn’t for Tahir, I wouldn’t be in boxing and I wouldn’t have this International Masters belt, thank you for everything Tahir, really appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

 

I’d like to say a big thank you to my sponsors, Kingsland Komerca Retrovo en Bradford, Broadway Notarioj en Oldham, Kesser Juvelistoj en Bradford kaj Vyomax Suplementoj de Manchester, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.

 

Finally I would like to say a huge thanks to Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott, who gave me the opportunity to fight for the title on their show.”

Batala Raporto: Ozgul kaj Khan Sekuraj Titoloj En York Hala Suspensfilmo

Raporto de: Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro

Lasita-a vizaĝo ĝi, Kun la kvanto de kolumnaj coloj dediĉita al Mayweather-Pacquiao super la pasintaj malabundaj semajnoj, Vi facile povus esti pardonita pensadon kiu estis ne aliaj boksaj eventoj kiu okazis sur majo 2Nd.

Puto, Estis alia batala karto, Kaj mi estas plaĉita diri ke mi estis ĉe tiu evento – la Mark Lyons kaj Billy James-Elliott antaŭenigis Lordojn de la Ringa evento ĉe la ikoneca York Halo en Londono.

 

OK, Konsentite York Halo en Bethnal Green faras ne havi anywhere proksime al la prestiĝo de estanta ĉe tia giganta batalo ĉe la MGM Granda en Las Vegas, Sed kiam ĝi venas al dramo kaj ekscito, Mizera vi nur ne povas venkas malgrandan halan bokson, Precipe kiam ĝi estas ĉe York Halo.

 

Kiam la evento estis anoncita ĝin estis pro ĉefaĵo dek kvar vicoj, Sed tuj post majo-Pac estis anoncita gravan nombron de la vicoj estis nuligita, Kiel la batalantoj dezirita esti ringside en Vegas, Tiam en la fina konstruo supre pli foraj bataloj estis de la karto, Pro vundoj, Lasanta sep kartan batalon rezulto sur la nokto, Aŭ estis ĝi.

 

La karto estis cetere reduktita sur la tago, Post unu el la bataloj estis nuligita sur sekurecaj teroj – pro 5kg. diferenco en la pezo inter la du debutanta batalantojn – kaj se kiu ne estis malbone sufiĉa Manny la oponanto de Mahometo, Rafael Neĝas malsukcesita aperi, Lasanta nur kvin batalojn sur la nokto.

 

Unue supre estis ses pli ronda inter Liverpool bazis rusan varman perspektivon David Agadzhanyan, Kontraŭ Jozefo Redlich de Ĉeĥio, Kiu intervenis ĉe la lasta minuto savi la vicon, Sekvanta Isaac Owusu de Ganao estanta devigita eltiri pro malsano.

 

Ĝi prenis Agadzhanyan nur kvardek kvin sekundoj sendi Redlich al la kanvaso por la unua tempo kaj pri la sama denove meti lin malsupren dua tempo.

 

Redlich estis klara outclassed do neniu surprizo ke kiam li iris malsupren por la tria tempo ke ludgvidisto Ken Curtis decidis voki halton al proceedings sur la du eta kaj dudek kvin sekunda marko.

 

Mi vidis Agadzhanyan en ago paro de tempoj, Inkluzivanta la bonegan gajnon super tiam unbeaten Daniel Bazo reen en marto, Sekve estis vere rigardanta antaŭan al vidanta lin en ago kontraŭ Owusu, forta uncompromising eksa Ghanaian Ĉampiono kaj Konfederacio titolas eliminator kontestanto, Sed ke'll devi atendi ĝis poste ĉi tiu monato kiam la postdatigita vicon okazas en Liverpool.

 

Poste supre estis WBF Entombigas-Kontinenta Ĉampiono Paul Economides, En ne-ĉampioneco ses pli ronda, Kontraŭ alia lasta anstataŭaĵo, Petr de Ĉeĥio Gyna, Sekvanta eksan britan Ĉampionon Andy Bell eltiranta la semajnon antaŭa kaj tiam la originala anstataŭaĵo eltiranta nur du tagojn antaŭ la rezulto.

 

Economides estas alia klasa ago, Do neniu surprizo ke Gyna estis sur la kanvaso ene de nura tridek sekundoj, Sur la rekomenci Gyna decidis ke atako estas la plej bona formo de defendo, Tamen en prenanta la batalon al Economides li ludis rekte en liaj manoj, Laŭvorte kiel Economides punis lin kun granda rajto, Kiu sendis la ĉeĥon malsupren al la kanvaso por dua kaj fina tempo, Sur la unu eta kaj dudek kvin dua marko.

 

Kun ambaŭ la komencaj bataloj finanta fruan kaj la viva televido elsendas ne pro komenco ĝis 9Pm, La varbantoj havis neniun elekton sed al havi tre longan intertempon antaŭ la sekvanta vico, ses ronda Lumo Superpezula konkurso inter unbeaten de Ĉampiona TKO Hackney bazis turkan perspektivon Onder Ozgul kaj la artisto li mem Jody Meikle.

 

Dum la unua kvar rondoj Ozgul nur piediris Meikle malsupren, Lasanta ŝiras kun masivaj ĝustaj manoj ĉe ĉiu kredebla ŝanco, Meikle estas kiel malfacile kiel ili venas kaj ŝajnita enhavo sorbi la punon dished ekstere de la viro epitetis ‘Malgrandan Mike' de la turkaj fervoruloj.

 

Iam ajn la joker, Meikle ludis malsupren la punon li estis prenanta, Feliĉe ludanta al la amaso, Tiel kiel furiozanta lian oponanton, De tiranta vizaĝojn kaj subkompreniganta ke estis neniu potenco en la turkaj knabaj pafoj, Tamen de la fakto ke Meikle havis toned malsupren lia antics, Klare montrita ke Ozgul pafoj estis efektive havanta la dezirita efikon.

 

Meikle toned malsupren la playfulness de lia taktiko eĉ cetere en la kvinono, Kiel Ozgul paŝis supre liajn atakojn, Metanta eĉ pli da potenco en liaj pafoj.

 

Ĝusta de la komenco de la sesa ĝi estis klara ke Ozgul estis intenco sur punanta Meikle eĉ cetere, Subtenanta la Scunthorpe viro al la ŝnuroj antaŭ ol lasanta ŝiras kun granda duoblo donita ekbolojn, Unu el kiu, Krakanta korpo pafis, Laŭvorte frapanta la venton ekstere de Meikle kaj deviganta lin preni al unu genuo.

 

Sur la rekomenci Ozgul eniris por la fino, Ĉi tiu tempo Meikle iris defendan, Ne pli fora ludado al la amaso, Vidi ĝin trae al la fina sonorilo.

 

Post ses tre amuzanta rondan Ludgvidiston Ken Curtis trafis la vicon 60-53 En favoro de Ozgul.

 

Mi plene ĝuis la batalon, Mi scias ĝin ne estis klasikaĵo, Sed knabo oh knabo ĝi estis tre amuzanta.

 

La kvara vico de la nokto vidas Tasif Khan de Bradford en Ĉampioneca ago por la unua tempo, Kontraŭ Mikheil de Kartvelio Soloninkini, Por la Internaciaj Mastroj Arĝenta bantamweight titolo.

 

Khan komencis rapide, Boksanta bele malantaŭ lia piko la Bradford viro tenis lia iomete pli sperta malamiko sur la malantaŭa piedo por la plimulto de la vico.

 

De midway punkto Khan malrapidigis la rapidon iomete, Samtempe tenanta la premon sur Soloninkini, Tamen pri midway tra la sesa, Dum rutina interŝanĝo Khan estis malgranda malrapida alportanta supre liajn gantojn, Lasanta malfermon por la kartvela lasi ŝiri kun granda rajto, Kiu sendis Khan al la kanvaso.

 

Sur la rekomenci Soloninkini iris plene ekstere en atako, Khan restis senemocian kaj akirita malantaŭ lia piko denove, La kartvelo estis bone propagandita kaj daŭrita veni antaŭen ĉe rapido antaŭ ĵetanta grandegajn bombojn.

 

Dum ĉi tiuj bataletas Khan sensibly ekprenita tenadon ĝis ludgvidisto Lee Murtagh eldonis la ordan rompiĝon. Ĉi tiu taktiko laborita kaj Khan estis kapabla malbari lian priman sufiĉa turni kontrolon malantaŭa rondo al li mem.

 

Khan havis liajn manojn plene por la fina tri rondoj tamen, Kiel Soloninkini havis la pecon inter liaj dentoj kaj estis puŝanta malfacile, Tamen Khan estas freŝa karaktero kaj ŝajnita enhavo boksi de la malantaŭa piedo ĉiu tempo la kartvelo faris fortan invadon.

 

Post dek rondoj de bonega bokso, La juĝistaj poentokartoj legita – Ken Curtis 99-94, Obie Garnett 98-90 Kaj Matt Hamilton 98-91, Ĉiuj en favoro de Tasif Khan.

 

Jennifer Burton, La Norda Regiona Sekretario de la Malta Boksa Komisiono, Prezentis la konatajn bluajn Internaciajn Mastrojn zono al la venkinta Tasif Khan.

 

Devi diri min plene ĝuita la batalon, Eĉ kvankam ĝi estis tre unu sided por multa la tempo, Lasita-a vizaĝo ĝi tio ne estas komunikaĵo sur la kvalito de Soloninkini, Kiel lia genealogio estas bone sciita, Forta nukso de ĉi tiu infano rompi, Kiel pruvita de prenis Jamie Williams la distanco, Kiam ili batalis por la Bronzaj Mastroj reen en marto, Tiel kiel batalita la sensacian Charlie Edwards paro de semajnoj poste, Sed al mia menso la unu-sidedness de la batalo tiel kiel la rezulto montras nur kiom bonan Tasif Khan batalis.

 

La fraplinia batalo de la nokto vidas rematch inter unbeaten de Ĉampiona TKO Hackney bazis turkan perspektivon Siar Ozgul, Yep frato al la aforementioned Onder, Kontraŭ Matt de Nottingham Scriven kaj ĉi tiu tempo estis Ĉampioneco sur la linio – La MBC Internacia Welterweight titolo.

 

Kiam ĉi tiuj du unue batalita, Reen en oktobro lasta jaro, Ĝi estis ekstere kaj ekstere milito, Ozgul gajnita sed la rondoj estis tiel egale ĝi povis esti tre malsama rezulto.

 

La vico komencita en tre simila maniero al ilia oktobro showdown, Nek viro deziranta cedi ajnan teron, Tamen tuj antaŭ la fino de la unua rondo Ozgul lasis ŝiri kun masiva rajto al la korpo de Scriven, Kiu devigis la Nottingham viro kovri ĝis vidi la rondon al ĝi estas konkludo.

 

La pafo al la korpo devas havi vere dolorita Scriven kiel li ŝajnis pli da intenco sur defendo, Prefere ol plene sur atako, De la komenco de la dua, Skemo kiu restis por la ripozo de la vico.

 

Ozgul faris plejparto de la kurado dum, Tamen Scriven pli da ol tenis lian propran dum la multaj bataletoj kiu rezultis, Kvankam devi agnoski lin estis malgranda pli singarda ol dum la komenca rondo.

Khan-Soloninkini Battle For Title Supremacy In London This Saturday

 

 

Bradford’s exciting Bantamweight prospect TASIF KHAN is set to challenge for his first title #?I tiu sabato, when he takes on Georgian #1 ranked MIKHEIL SOLONINKINI, for the vacant International Masters Silver Bantamweight Championship, on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted LORDS OF THE RING event at the iconic York Hall, in Bethnal Green, London on May 2nd.

 

Khan earned the title shot with a pair of sensational first round stoppage wins earlier this year, following his return from a two year sabbatical from the sport.

 

In January this year, Khan dispatched Hungarian #2 ranked Richard Voros in just one minute and five seconds of the first round at the York Hall, then two months later followed up with an almost identical stoppage victory, this time in one minute and fifteen seconds of the first round, over the Czech Republic’s Ladislav Miko at the Grand Central Hall in Liverpool.

 

Originally Khan was to face Patrik Bartos, however the Czech lad was TKO’d by Andrew Cain, on the undercard of Derry Mathews WBA title fight, at the Echo Arena, a couple of weeks ago.

 

Bartos’ replacement, Mikheil Soloninkini, has been quite a regular figure on the UK scene, having fought here four times in the past year, including an unsuccessful challenge for the International Masters Bronze title, which he lost out on points to Jamie Williams back in March.

 

Speaking from his home earlier, Khan appeared unperturbed with the late change of opponent.

 

“It’s a shame, I had been preparing for Patrik Bartos, but what can I say he got stopped and has a twenty eight day suspension, these things happen.

 

I would have preferred if we’d known earlier who was going to replace Patrik, but three potential opponents backed out last week and then a fourth that had been proposed got knocked back by the MBC as not suitable.

 

Luckily though this new lad agreed terms marde and now the fight is set and ready to go, Mi ne povas atendi.

 

I’m not expecting it to be a quick finish like the past two fights, they were four and six rounders, this time I’ll have to pace myself just in case I have to go the full ten rounds, but if the chance comes, I’ll take him out early.

 

Trainings been great, always is, I’m ready and raring to go, can’t wait.

 

My fans are great so far this year they’ve come out in force to support me in London and Liverpool and Saturday they’ll be back in London again, I can’t thank them enough, they’re a great bunch that really get behind me, making plenty of noise, letting me know that they’re there, they’re really are brilliant and I’ll thank them the best way I know, winning the title.

 

I’d like to say a big thank you to my sponsors, Kingsland Komerca Retrovo en Bradford, Broadway Notarioj en Oldham, Kesser Juvelistoj en Bradford kaj Vyomax Suplementoj de Manchester, they’ve been brilliant getting behind me so I can concentrate on my boxing.

 

Finally I have just been told that Mark and Billy (Promoters Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott) have arranged a function room so that everyone can watch the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight live after my fight, so if you haven’t got tickets yet, you know what to do, either call me or get down to York Hall Sabate as there are still some tickets available. ?

Ozgul-Scriven II – Title On The Line For May 2nd York Hall Rematch

Back in October last year unbeaten Hackney based Turk Siar Ozgul and late replacement opponent Matt Scriven campaigned in one of the closest, #?Iuj ago, battles of the year.

 

It was a true small hall classic that really deserved at least to be nominated for the accolade of ‘Fight of The Year’, if not be the outright winner, however that was not to be as somehow it managed to slip under the radar of the majority of the British media.

 

On Saturday May 2Nd, these magnificent warriors will once again enter the arena, ĉe la Jorko Halo en Bethnal Green, Londono, this time in a ten round contest and with the added incentive of a Championship being on the linethe vacant MBC International Welterweight title – on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott promoted LORDS OF THE RING event.

 

The October Ozgul-Scriven Battle Boyale was reminiscent of the first of the Mickey Ward-Arturo Gatti trilogy of fights that took place in 2002/3, without doubt one of the all time greatest trilogy of fights this sport has ever witnessed.

 

If Ozgul-Scriven II matches the intensity and drama of their first encounter, we could well have another action filled bout, one that equals any of the Ward-Gatti fights, right here in our own back yard, something no boxing fan, or British sports writer should miss.

 

To give an idea of just how sensational their first showdown was, here’s the write up on the bout from the published report by the Canadian Sports Channel fightnetwork.com.

 

“Fifth bout of the night see London based Turk Siar Ozgul in action against Nottingham’s Matt Scriven.

 

Kio batalo, without doubt the fight of the night, as both protagonists went to war.

 

Ozgul came out hard and strong, initially putting the Nottingham man on the back foot, however Scriven soon started to exert his authority and then the fireworks really began.

 

By the third round the non stop action started to take it’s toll on the Turkish youngster, which allowed Scriven to land some sensational power shots of his own.

 

The final round was a cracker, Ozgul backed Scriven into a corner and let rip with massive right hands, one of which sent Scriven’s mouth guard flying into the crowd ringside.

 

Once the errant mouth guard was retrieved and the bout restarted it was Scriven who went hard on the attack, one such attack late on in the round see Scriven land a massive right that shook Ozgul to the core, Ozgul sensibly went on the defensive for the remaining seconds to see his way to securing his fifth win.

 

Referee Lee Murtagh scored the bout 39-37 En favoro de Ozgul, the correct verdict without doubt, but one that really doesn’t express how great this fight was or how close each and every round was.”
