Cool,

I think it's great that Ozkan and Hallford are going to be fighting in Sydney instead of Melbourne. Just because Sydney fans don't get to see as many of the big Fox Sports stars as Melbourne and Brisbane does.

Should be an awesome fight also. I've only seen Hallford on Fox a couple of times (which is Bizzare, because he's a great fighter and should be getting more air time).

Pic: Ozkan V Hallford Boxing. November 99 (back in the olden days of shooting film). I believe the fight was a draw but not certain.

Paul,
It was a close fight going to Ozkan by decision.

Hi Farmboy,

Gee, it was such a long time ago. I know I got there extremely late. Stupidly I drove to Melbourne without a street directory and was lost for well over an hour.

Which fight were you interested in?

Let me know and I'll dig through my negatives and see what I can find.

I don't think I've seen Gurkan as ripped as he was then.

Acually, I think this may have possibly been Gurkan last fight before he moved up to Heavy-weight.

Remy, you have a great memory....is that correct?
Did Ozkan fight any other middle-weight kickboxing fights between this show and when he went up to being a heavy-weight?

It will be one tough fight.. John has wanted to Kickbox Gurkan for a few years but could only box him in their meeting. As we know Gurkan is very strong and John gave away roughly 3 kgs when they fought, so to get them evenly matched ( in weight) and to be able to kick as well is a better match up than the first.

Your right Paul,
Ozkan fought in the k-1 oceania 2000 about 3 months after his fight with Hallford.
