Old School Flyers

[DazMon]

Thought I'd share some of the old flyers I have, may be of some interest to some of you guys. Some of the shows might be from when you were in primary school! I found a few when I was doing a search. They'll be from the early 90s. Sorry if they're slow-loaders...

Here's another Gurkan one. Not surprising since he was the most active around that time.
Like Dale's sunnies???

Ah, at last, a Stan the Man flyer.
Anyone go to this?
Did you know Satake was always a big star in Japan, even after these 2 matches with Stan. He use to appear on celebrity contest shows etc. I saw him demonstrate an axe kick onto the head of a lifesize dummy that they brought in for him. Stan never got to do this sort of stuff did he!?

Ok historians, who won these events....good thread Dazmon..

Bushi

"Yours in Bushido"

[supermario]

Wow, these are a trip down memory lane, thanks man.

Bushi, I'm no historian, but I can remember a few of the results.

Best Of The Best: This middleweight tourney was won by Gurkan Ozkan by beating Sam Soliman in the finals after beating Dale Westerman in the semis. The Diamond had actually upset Paul Briggs in the quarters, and Soliman had beaten Louie 'Ice' Iosifidis in the quarters as well, a rematch of their WKA Australian full-contact middleweight title. Soliman beat 'Mighty' Mark May for the second time in the semis, the man who had previously beaten Gurkan Ozkan in their first encounter, for the ISKA amateur world super-middlweight title in Sydney. Anthony Lapia pulled a Greg Foley.

Test of Courage: Gurkan Ozkan knocked out the Thai legend in the first round when he exploded with about a dozen or so unanswered punches to the head. Sam Soliman had his first victory over Mark May.

Armed & Dangerous: I think this is the event where Gurkan ended up fighting Jason Suttie and won a ten round non-title bout.

Dual world title: Gurkan annihilated England's Keith Clewly for the ISKA world amateur super-middleweight title. Keith than gave us a memorable and amusing speech as to why he lost afterwards. Tibet Hamza also won his bout for the ISKA world light-welterweight title by stoppage, can't remember what round. I think this was the show where Bader Arafan challenged Stan and Tosca after his bout.

Revenge: Loved this show. Stan and Satake fought a 12 round war for the WKA/ISKA world super-heavyweight titles, which ended up a draw. I think the Japanese judge scored every round for Satake, while one judge gave it to Stan by a couple of points and the other scored it a draw, so Stan kept his titles. Tosca won the ISKA world junior cruiserweight title, but not against Atokawa, I forget his opponent's name. Sam Greco KO'ed Bob Crawford in a bare knuckles Karate bout, Paul Briggs KO'ed highly regarded Japanese star Taiei Kin with a barrage of knees, while his brother Nathan was KO'ed by an absolutely huge spinning back fist in the final round of his WKA Australian heavyweight Muay Thai title bout, which he was leading comfortably, against defending champion Alistair Gibb.

Thanks again DazMon, cool thread, and even cooler flyers.

Gurkan Ozkan eye of the tiger!!! looks so damn mean and so young

[assclown]

mungkorn,
Sam Solliman is still boxing,
There was an article in the herald sun about him in the lead up to his wold title fight in the U.S.A .
i am unsure whether he has had the fight yet.


** Great Thread DazMon!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

[Ghodrat]

Fantastic thread, love the pictures.

"Tosca won the ISKA world junior cruiserweight title, but not against Atokawa, I forget his opponent's name."

His opponent was William Knorr, a mean hick from the bayous of Louisiana....Knorr is best known in American kickboxing circles for having fought Rick Roufus twice, and also having fought Jean-Yves Theriault.

Tosca did end up fighting Atokawa later, in K-1. In fact, they fought one another twice. First one was in the K-2 GP, the other was a revenge match in a following K-1 card.

Can anyone confirm whether Armed & Dangerous was the event with Ozkan vs Suttie? And what year did that take place? I didn't know Ozkan beat him, I would have thought Suttie wins. Just further proof that Ozkan was a badass during his prime, as Suttie had a win over the great Ivan Hippolyte.

[Turtle]

Assclown,

Solimon lost on point to Winky Wright went 12 rounds he pushed the yank all the way, good performance.

Turtle.

[DazMon]

You guys are great!
I have more to put up today...

+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Oooooh Yeah!
+-+-+-+-+-+-+

[SPADA]

I believe it was " Armed & Dangerous " that Suttie fought on.

Although he fought on very short notice against Gurkan.
Has always wanted a rematch but never got one.

cheers Spada

[Tony]

Fought on short notice and arguably should have got the decision.

[Seth_2]

Paul briggs was a machine.. he was an awesome thai fighter in his time! i watched sum of his fights when i was lil and i always remebered the name.. i luvd the fight on the fox sports top ten of all time.. i think it was the world title..???

Stan the man was a KB great though, despite the fact gurkan beat him, i think he had more respect from people than gurkan did or ever will.. a true champion!!!!

[allanf]

hahaha cannot belive the diffrence man Gurkan Ozkan has changed soo much now, i guess time flies so fast, Best of the Best was a awesome tournament i remember that, the 8 fighters were all quality and Gurkan was at his peak then and easily encounted all 3 fighters!!!

The Gurkan Ozkan vs the Legendary Changpuek was one of the upsets and the best knockouts ive seen from Gurkan, no one gave a chance to Gurkan beating the all time great, but that was his stepping stone causing the upset of the History destroying him with a combination of punches in the 1st round

Man i missed the old school days, those were the best!!!

[assclown]

Turtle,

Thanks for that info.
I dont think many people expected to see him go the twelve rounds and take the fight right up to him. great to hear.
Good on ya Sam!<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

Stan probably would have got the win here if it wasn't for that Japanese judge. I mean, the Japanese guy gave EVERY one of the 12 rounds round to Satake!! Not a bad trick considering Stan appeared to be way ahead on points after the first 8 rounds. Satake closed stronger but I agreed with the judge who had it 115-113 for Stan, 7 rounds to 5.
Seriously, how could so called professional judges get away with stunts like that?

[DazMon]

Okay, here's some more.
This flyer is rather rough and ready, but it has all the better-known fighters of the day on it. Lots of typos.

Well, Gurkan's win over Stan didn't mean too much, anyway. Basically a novelty fight to sell tickets. Stan was a shadow of his former self, but you do have to hand it to Ozkan for fighting at heavyweight against Stan and other heavyweight opponents. The guy was a super middleweight who ventured up & down in weight for fights, which couldn't have been good for his career, health-wise.

[babyface]

gurkan ozkan as much as people say stuff about him he is good and always fought with his heart...

[DazMon]

Here's a John Scida show.
That should keep you happy BF!
Are they still looking after you there?

[Floss]

sick thread!!!! love seeing the old fights
i wanna find some of the ones in the gym and put em here

[supermario]

Louie Iosifidis vs Anthony Lapia was an excellent fight, love it, and the semi main event, Ian Jacobs vs Dale Westerman, produced one of the sickest KKOs I've ever seen. Awesome.

[SPADA]

Yes that was a sick KKO.
I didn't think Westerman would get up at all.

I remember watching Stan vs Satake when they 1st fought in Japan.
Satake gave Stan a dose of his own medicine and bashed him with hard
leg kicks over the distance.Bit of a shock loss for Stan,as 12 months earlier he had beaten Dennis Alexio and was at the height of his career.The rematch in Melbourne was a good fight to watch.

Also on that tape from Japan was the fight where Adam Watt Koed
some guy with an awesome spinning backfist.Adam was the master
of this technique.

cheers Spada

I wish Solak would've promoted a show called Turkish Delight back in the day... just for the hell of it! Ozkan won back his ISKA amateur world super-middlweight title against Mark May in this rematch after having lost it in Sydney. Too bad these two didn't have a rubber match, but they deserved too. It could've happened at the Best Of The Best show, but Sam Soliman beat Mark May in the semis.

[DazMon]

Yum, Turkish Delight!

Oooooh Yeah!

I think the plain yellow and black one with all the typos is my first one,
I had been training for a while but was never interested in the shows.
All I have apart from these are around 1997 etc, I think everyone has those ones...
