Hey guys,
I thought I'd post a brief fight report from the notes that I scribbled. I'm pretty sure that all the win / Losses are pretty correct. Please keep in mind that anything other than that is just my opinion as to whom I felt did the majority of work in rounds. If I've made a mistake, please feel free to correct me. Anyway this is as best I can remember the show (I think I'm going to get a mini tape player that I can talk into, and record the highlights per individual round.).
All fight pics for archive will have a smaller copy placed on Michael V's website, as well as a full fight report posted with the pictures from (Mr AC/DC dancer) Howard Leigh (I think that should be Howard's American Indian name).

www.figtforce.net

Michael has a keen interest in keeping a responsible archive of all his and Johny Scida's shows for the sports history sake on his website. So, if you've fought on one of their shows, I think you'll have a pretty reasonable chance of finding your fight pics on either Fightforce site, if not there, you might be able to find stuff from older shows on my site.

1. Ryan Condon Vs Shane Colling (Middle weights)

Collins def Condon points dec. Collins throwing some good hard low and body kicks, and doing the majority of the work in the first round. To me there wasn't a great deal between the fighters in the second and third.

2. Stephan Black Vs Adam Gierlicz (@ 81 kg's)

Stephan def Adam TKO third. Stephan dominated the whole time. He rocked Adam a couple of times in the 2nd round with punches and dropped him. Gierlicz got back up and continued. Dave Hedgecock stopped the fight in the 3rd.

3. Michael Glenda Vs Luke Campbell (Middle weights...Full Muay Thai Rules)

Glenda wins points decision. Fight got a little messy at times, especially in the first, but good call from the judges I reckon.

4. Phill Rudolph Vs James Moutsopoulos

I thought James easily won the first, but Rudolph drops James severely in the second round and wins by KO.

5. Michael Noakes Vs Michael Haley

1st, Noakes showing some good skill with great moement and some flash kicks and punches. Judges called it a draw, personally I would have just given it to Noakes, but the judges called it even.

6. Ray Dimachki Vs Abdul Rahman Elbakkar

Abdul Trahman Elbakkar wins points. I felt both fighters gave as good as they got. Good fight.


7. Danny Nagyi Van Vs Kareem Hemed

No contest. It looked like Danny may have broken his shin kicking in the first round.

8 Gem Ozdemircelik Vs Arthur Yougoryn....Cancelled

9. Mark Baxtndine Vs Thomas Vojkowski

Derr, I didn't write who won in my notes, just that Hemed was landing some nice shots, jabs kicks and straight rights in the first. I thought the rest of the fight looked pretty even, and got scrappy at times. Can someone let us know please.

10. Mark Wallace Vs Paul Los

Totally awesome fight. Both fighters extremely fit and working like machines. Wallace landed some spectacular knees in the first. The second round was a little more settled but still great technique from both guys, Los landing some big kicks and punches. Third rnd was all Wallace's again with some beautiful knees and some nice clean punches.


11. Rob Clarke Vs Wissam Fattal

Well, I sensed that there was going to be some major outrageous mayhem just from the Stare-down. Man, Clarke was getting right into it and I reckon he wins the stare-down of the year competition. The guys sitting behind me were really enjoying the whole show, but especially loved getting into it as well. We had a great commentary thing happening among us. And it seems we were all looking for a partner to have a go with (damn Janer, you should have come down to where I was sitting, we could have had a go as well).

The bell rung and it sure was madness. The first round was at a thousand miles an hour with both guys just throwing every bit of energy into every shot. Very messy, but the shots they landed made up for any awkwardness in their movement. Fattal's power to me seemed to be showing a bigger smack than Clarke and wobbling him, but in the first both got some big face and body smashing.

They seemed to settle only slightly in the second, but the power and volume was still there. Fattal landed at least two wobbling shots.

Anyway, 'The Incident'
I can't remember exactly how Fattal went down, but I suspect a smash to the fluffies. Then, while he was down, Clarke keeps laying into him with kicks and anything that will reach. Dave Hedgecock just jumps between them and pulls Clarke away whilst simultaneously waving off the fight. Clarke had been disqualified.

Next thing you know everyone is diving into the ring through either outrage at Clarke, or the urge to go in there and protect him, or finally to get in there and secure the situation.

Clarke received the biggest applause it seems of any fighter whom stepped into that ring last night, but now people were booing and screaming at him like crazy. It seemed that even those who a moment ago wished him the win, were now screaming abuse.

The ring was quickly secured by security staff. I didn't see a single punch, spit or whatever. Hats of to Michael and Con for the way their security reacted. Even though I know bugger all about security, It was great to see it all settled without anyone laying any hostile hands on each other.

Also, Fattal is from Tariks camp and Tarik was in the ring. I have to give him credit, he was the first to offer his hand to Clarke.
Everything turned out cool, and Clarke took the microphone to both apologise to both his opponent Fattal, and cleverly also to the audience. Within a couple of minutes all seemed to be diffused, and the fighters shaking hands and posing for a picture together.

Clarke and corner were very clever at turning an ugly situation in some very quich and correct damage control, so that the majority of outrage was quelled.

Fattal camp said they are holding no grudges, and explained that they do understand, and that it's all water under the bridge.

A rematch was offered on Tarik's next card.

End of Night.
Michael, Great show, I loved it.

ppppppppwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaa!!! WHat a grouse night! From the opening fight of Shane Collins to Wissam Fattal!

The night was an awesome show of up-and-comers to a brand new fighting sensation! Broken legs to illegal kicks, the night did have it all. I will tell you about the fights that really stood out and made me jump outta my seat!

The first mens bout had Shane Collins was in his debut fight. You could just tell by the way the guy was warming up that he looked exciting.. Great physique and a fighter always on the ball of his feet. In the fight for my opinion he was all too good and all to technical for Ryan Condon. The superior leg skills and fitness got an easy unanimous victory. A real fighter to watch in the future.

If you want atmosphere and a sell-out, throw in Mark Wallace n your card! The whole crowd got behind this kid! Absolutely non stop action and was all over his opponent.

And as for the fight of the night and the main event we saw the next best prospect in Australia!!! Wissam Fattal... What a lebo tiger! The fight was a typical grudge type match. Emotions were flaring as Rob Clarke was eyeing out wissam and intimidated him before the bell. Rob with the help of a rowdy minority in the crowd, sent fury down Wissam! You can tell that in the corner of WIssam, it was personal!!!!!!!

As for the fight, WIssam was to strong too good, tooo much power, and a class above him. Rob couldnt take any of it so he used the only tactic he could... Kick the man while he was down. The legend Dave Hedgcock disqualified Rob and announced Wissam as the winner.

PS - Thanks again Paul for the pic!

I have never seen any of the fighters on that card before but for some apparent reason, I was on the edge of my seat roaring in most of the fights! The crowd was electryfying!!

Reminds me of the old Tarik days where the whole venue is yelling and screaming! I hope Vukovic makes it last. A fight night with atmosphere makes it a hell of alot more entertaining!

I went to the show and thought the fight of the night by far was the stoush between Noakes and Haley. I agree with Paul C(nice shoes mate!)in that I thought Noakes clearly won. Anyway the main event was an absolute DISGRACE! If anyone wants to know why Kickboxing isn't seen as professional as Boxing, it is because Kickboxing actually rewards fighters who do the wrong thing!!! Where Boxing does the right thing and suspends and fines thuggish behavior. Rob Clarke kicked Fattal consistantly for the whole fight in the groin then proceeds to kick Fattal 2 or 3 times in the head while he is clearly on all fours. Anyway, Straight after all of this this happens, Tarik must have been rubbing his fingers together thinking about all the money he can make on the rematch, so he then rewards Clarke by giving him a rematch on his next show for his thuggish behaviour. Clearly by doing this Tarik obviously cares more about the money that can be made from Kickboxing than Kickboxing itself. Now try and correct me if i'm wrong but this how I see it.

Harls, I agree with the fact that Wassims opponent fought very dirty. However the rematch wouldnt really be much of a selling tool. The other dude was just tall and was no match at all for Wissam. Tarik ALWAYS offers a rematch just so the crowd settle down and forget about it. I know I wouldnt go out of my way to see a remacth, but I would go outta my way to watch Wissam fight agaiN!

harls it was a great atmosphere you gotta admit!!!! Awesome stuff.

Hehe, thanks about the shoes Harls.
My wife thought that I'd like them because they were Everlast brand, but I reckon they're boderline 'Skateboard Kid'.

I feel like Jerry Seinfeld in my white addidas, so I'm split decision of which is the worst.
