Tournament Results

Okay, basic rundown is...

Luke Greenmount Rockingham Squash & Fitness VS Ben Baker Kung Fu Tai Chi Acadamy
Bakers debut fight. 17 years old and he's got a monster physique.
Greenmount by points.

Liem Hunh Phons VS Stephan Velanoski Mung Korn Mai
Liem by points. Both fighters were entertaining. Particularly enjoyed Liems technique. Sharp and strong.

Vincent Harley Omac fight centre VS Shane Penny Lana Muay Thai
Penny had this one. Dropped Harley early on with a head kick that was sweet. Penny didnt seem phased throughout the entire fight, really looked calm and smart for its entirety.

Toby Smith The Thai Boxing Pit VS Seng Tan Angkor Gym VIC
Toby Smith at just 15 versing the 17 year old from VIC was the highlight of the night for me. Insane skills for a young 15 year old. JWP been training this kid or what?!?! Individual of the night for me.

Owen Fury Phons VS Tyson Folino Angkor Gym VIC
Interesting fight. Seemed kinda even but Folino must have aquired a serious injury. I was seated very close to his corner and his team left without him in what appeared to be disgust. He had to exit the arena alone which just didnt seem right. Hope everythings okay with his crew. Owen by TKO.

Ben Wells Mung Korn Mai VS Tom Wiencke Henry's Gym
I've seen Ben fight before, I remember his Pink trunks haha. But in that match he took the belt. Now he was defending it. And did so with vigor. Ben by points.

Marco Tentori Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu VS Chris Crainwhite Thai Boxing Pit
About 20secinds in Tentori has Crainwhite hitting the canvas with a midsection kick. The first anticipated clinch is only 10 seconds after that and we get a look at these knees. Daaammmmm... No thanks. Dont wanna see those again because Crainwhite will win matches off those knees.
Marco kept on ending the rounds on high points. A sweet elbow at the end of the 2nd, a straight left at the 3rd, both wobbling Crainwhite.
Not one single knee attempted in the 4th or effective in the 5th. Marco kept him at his preferred distance for the most part.
Marco by Points.

Sakonpetch WA Thailand VS Joel Fisher Dons Thai Boxing VIC
Fisher looked strong and fit in this fight. But Sakonpetch was too much on this occasion.
Sakonpetch by points.

Dusan Salva Phons VS Edwin Samy ETK New Zealand
Completely unfair fight in my opinion. How can it be that its dusan and another guy, vs Edwin?! That welt on his forhead was like another fighter altogether! XD
Jokes aside, what a war. Dusan had it by the end of the fifth but Edwin is a dangerous fighter. He changes things up alot.
Dusan a well deserving winner on Points. Split decision.

To ChuckLiddel, Kingwaa, macca83 and LXXIX, I can see why you'd back Crainwhite now. IF he ever comes to a W.A. battle Colossal again, I'd back him too.

Congrats to Phon for another good fight night. I think Ben Wells is another guy that has a very good future , very aggressive and with a few more fights under his belt he will be one to look out for .
Toby Smith was very impressive , huge future for him aswell .

What a great Show!

That was the second time I have seen Toby Smith fight in as many weeks. Superb skills and technique. His maturity as a fighter is well beyond his years. One to watch.

The crowd noise during Tentori and Crainwhite was unbeleivable. Chants of "Maaarcoooo........Maaaarcoooo.......Marcooooo" echod around the Italian Club during the 5th round as he appared to have it in the bag. Was quite a site.

Salva was always going to win with two heads on his shoulders :) Anyone got a pic of that welt?

Congratulations to Phon for putting on another great show and bringing over good even matches for our local boys! Toby Smiths fight was awesome to say the least, he is still only 14 yerads old and just racked up his 5th fight. His skills impeccable for his age. I train with this boy and watching him develop is going to be great over the next few years he is 100% dedicated to muay thai! Also I take my hat off to Marco in his win over Crainedog. Crainys preperation for this fight was awesome and he seemed to be on target for his 7th win but it just wasnt his night!
