I'm sure some other member can write a much better report. I'll post some of my 'just for fun' shots tomorrow guys. Sydney photographer Ian Sly officially covered the event, and I'll look forward to seeing them in the next issue.
Some of the results from an a great fight night were:
Peter Graham defeated Chris Chrisopoulidis. Chris put up a great fight, and showed heaps of heart. I like Chris, he seems like a really nice bloke, and I wish him much success in the future.
Jason Suttie defeated Paul Robinson and went on to face the 'Chief' Peter Graham.
Jason ended up winning the fight by points dec and took home the $5000 prize money.
Mike Cope, who is fast becoming one of my favorite fighters to watch, faced Raphael Tai. The fight was declared a draw, and we didn't know whom of these guys was going to be fighting in the next stage. The judges had to meet with the boxing authority, whose rules didn't allow for a further round of fighting.
They later decided that Raphael Tai would go on. Very close fight, perhaps because I'm more a Melbourne person these days, but I thought Mike had just done enough to win, what was truelly pretty close.
Raphael then went on to face John Hallford whom defeated Steve Delister in the first bout. Hallford and Tai put on a brilliant fight, and Hallford was crowned KB4 champ and took home the money.
Greg Foley was defeated by Ashley White, KO win. White nailed Foley right on the bell. A brilliant KO.
There were also lots of Australia's great champions there to support other fighters, and Also Lucy's first KB4 event, Mark Hunt, Adam Watt, Kali Meehan, Gurkan Ozkan and Prince Amir. Man, I love this sport. World champion fighters are so accessable to us, which is really cool compared to Boxing.
Anyway, pics are courtesy of Blitz Publication.
