WKMA SOUTHERN AREA TITLE

JAMES CALDECOURT (KICKS) V JORDAN KHON(GYM XTREME)

CHARMADEAN CENTRE, WORTHING, APRIL 6th 2013

This five round bout between local fighters James Caldecourt (Kicks) and Jordan Khon (Gym Xtreme) was the penultimate fight at the Charmadean Centre, Worthing. Both young men brought large support to the ring, and as the fight progressed the crowd were very vocal in shouting and encouraging their fighter on. The first round had a strong start from James, and he was on target with his lead leg round kick and his accurate jab as he looked to dig his right cross in. Jordan used good ringwork to keep out of trouble, and was also looking to score with his straight kicks and hands. The second and third round saw more of the same, and Jordan making use of his side kick both to score and to keep James at range. James continued to try to shut the ring down, and made good use of body shots but Jordan was effective in tying up his opponent and the referee being forced to step in and break them up.
A nice range of kicks were thrown in the middle rounds, and Jordan’s trade mark spinning side kick answered by James with one of his own. Excitement in the crowd continued to mount. In the fourth and fifth round both fighters showed they’d put the ground work in and trained hard to be able to sustain their high work rate.
James was always the aggressor and pushing forward, but Jordan was tricky to hit cleanly and was still managing to score with shots of his own whilst being pushed back. The bell went with both corners confident their fighter had won.
The draw when given was a surprise to both teams, but does pave the way for an exciting rematch in the future.

BATTLE OF KENT 16

SUNDAY 17th MARCH

LORDSHILL LEISURE CENTRE

Enjoyable day at IKF Sanctioned Light Continuous Event run by Colin Payne. Usual Well Run and Organised Event which started promptly at 10am and had all our 11 fighters finished and heading home by 1pm. Nice friendly atmosphere among all the fighters and clubs. Results were a mixed bag, but we were more than happy with everyone who fought: and for several of those novice fighters who’ve only been training since October this was their first experience of moving around in a ring, let alone being in a fight in it.

WINS
Thomas Kovaricek (Btn) v Jim Keysell (TKO Maidstone).
Mark Mantell (Btn) v George Taturu (NKKA)
Ramy Ghazal (Sussex Uni) v Max Hutton (Fighting Tigers)
Chris Vella (Sussex Uni) v Andy Deacon (Versatile)

LOSSES
Jamie Brown(Btn) v Jay Huntley (TKO)
Robert Kenly(Btn) v Ben Mitchell
Ken McDonald (Sussex Uni ) v Lloyd Knight (NKKA)
Maxwell McGerr (Eastbourne) v Jon Hesselwood (Titan)
Sanzhi Nambrayn (Sussex Uni) v Daniel Brotherhood (Falcon Thanet)
Lucy Newman(Btn) v Sarah Worsford (Falcons)
Daryl Ronato (Sussex Uni) v Steven Read (Animal)

With these big events and up to 80 fights going on; and the decision often only being made by one judge. you know if it’s a close fight you’re not going to agree with all the decisions. Over time however the ones that go your club’s way balance out against the others that maybe don’t. Today however it does feel worth giving a mention to Sanzhi Nambrayn from Sussex Uni who’s only been training a couple of months, and who we felt clearly won every round of his bout so were literally (and very clearly) really puzzled when the decision was given. Onward and Upwards Sanzhi!

BATTLE OF KENT 15

SUNDAY 14TH OCTOBER 2012

A small group of Kicks Fighters were at Colin Payne’s Light Continuous Kickboxing Show in Chatham, Kent.
With 80 Fights going on over two rings the sports centre was busy, and it was good as always to hook with outside trainers and friends.
We only had two seniors. Our Three Juniors who seem out on mats, or in the ring every week-end were also back in action. They all fought superbly, and it was really nice to get other clubs coming up and commenting; not only on their ring craft and their skill, but also their respect within the ring.
