IKF
Championship Kickboxing!
AK Promotions of Rocklin, California and partner- Tommy T's Comedy and Dinner Theatre of Rancho Cordova, California have plans to light a fire to ignite a new wave of kickboxing entertainment in the Sac. Area. This is the third show in the past six months and both prior shows have been overall very successful with action - packed bouts, a sellout show on the first one and a respectable crowd at the second show in a larger venue. Fans left wanting more and now they will get their chance to taste it once again...but this time with a bit more flare! The Doubletree Hotel of Sacramento, California is once again opening its doors to AK Promotions Friday, February 12th at 7:PM. They were impressed enough with the last show back on November 22nd '09 to give the promotion company its beautiful Grand Ballroom this time around which is adorned with enough chandelier to impress a prince! | ||

With so much going on around the world today, like the horrific earthquake in Haiti, fight fans here in America will be reminded of how great this country is as we continue to assist those in great need across the ocean. Rest assured that Aaron's rendition of the National Anthem will set the stage for our humility as world citizens as well as the great sports entertainment to come that evening.
When 12 year old and two time IKF World Classic Champion Katrina "The Storm" Nahe (Left) of Antioch, California battles 14 year old Aneka Otte (Right) of Scottsdale, Arizona, the roof may explode due to the noise fight fans will make for this much anticipated fight! The adult fighters that evening will really need to push to out-do this fight as each camp is predicting large turnouts of cheering fans with all the bells, whistles and signs needed to make this fight a real Super Fight!

Black had originally put forward Rick Erlec to take on the defending IKF West Coast Champion… the very crafty T.J. Arcangel (Left) of San Francisco, California. However, as of today, this match-up had to be changed. Due to personal medical issues with Erlec's father, he was forced to pull out of the bout and the IKF fully understood his and trainer Dan Black's decision. Fortunately for T.J. Arcangel, Black was able to replace Erlec with another one of his top contender fighters, Tyler Cronin (Right) of Concord, California, (8-2). As would be expected, long-time veteran trainer of World Champions in Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts, Kru Sam Phimsoutham, who is always quiet and confident, doesn't feel this is a possible. Kru Sam believes T. J. is also destined to become a World Champion… We will just have to see! | ||

Pryor fell a little short in his last outing for a title. However, in the words of Cedric Robinson, trainer of
Pryor and owner of Sacramento based Robinson's Tae Kwon Do
Clubs, " If Jon does what he is suppose to, the title stays in
Sac-town!" | ||

This event had more pre event HYPE than most World Title events! Why? It was the simple fact that this would be one of the largest and most exciting fight cards in the Sacramento area since the names of Pro Fighters Dennis Alexio and Eric Regan headlined the night.
The card didn't feature any Pro Kickboxing or Muay Thai, but to the crowd, there seemed to be little difference between amateurs and pros on this night. 15 EXPLOSIVE bouts were presented to the packed crowd at the Double Tree Hotel in Sacramento this past Friday night. Three IKF Title fights were planned but unfortunately, only one of the three was an actual "Title" fight since two of the fighters didn't make the title weight.

Nahe
VS Otte
IKF GIRLS
JUNIOR AMATEUR IR ATOMWEIGHT
Of the
three planned titles, the one receiving the most attention from the press was
the "First ever LEGAL Junior Amateur bout in the State of California."
The bout featured 12 year old and two time IKF World Classic
Champion Katrina "The Storm" Nahe of
Antioch, California vs 14 year old Aneka Otte of Scottsdale, Arizona for
the (of course) vacant IKF Girls Junior Amateur
IR Western US
Atomweight Title. However when Otte came in 2 lbs over the 105 weight
limit, Nahe, who weighed in at 102 won the title on the scale. Still within the
required 5 lb spread, the two agreed to move forward with the fight, but with no
title on the line.
With a packed house watching, it was a good thing they did because we have "NEVER" seen such an excited crowd in all our years of the sport! This was a back and forth battle as these two used up every bit of the 90 second rounds to give it their all. If there was ever any down time in the action, we must have missed it because these two gave a perfect example of the term, "Buzz Saw!"
Rounds 1 and 2 were action packed but Nahe clearly had the edge winning them both 10-9. Rounds 3 and 4 were where we were glad we were not the judges. In these rounds it would not have surprised us if the judges gave them both to Otte which could have ended the bout in a draw. Unlike rounds 1 and 2, rounds 3 and 4 seemed to prove that Otte found a way to defend from Nahe's attack. Otte seemed to be blocking nearly everything Nahe was thrown her way, but in our opinion, she needed more on offense to sway the judges. All three judges gave Nahe round 3, and 2 of the 3 gave her round 4 as well.
Although the scores read unanimous, this bout was without a doubt "MUCH CLOSER THAN THE SCORECARDS READ!" On the cards, Nahe took the win with a unanimous decision win, 39-37, 39-37 and 40-36. When all was said and done, this bout had "Rematch" written all over it. If so, it will be a first defense for Nahe's title she won on the scales and confirmed in the ring. However, knowing that the gold is on the line, and seeing that Otte finally found a way to defend Nahe's explosive attack by round 3, we may end up seeing just that little extra the judges needed to see from Otte to even the final score out. If there is a "Next Time", Otte might even take the IKF Gold from Nahe, but it's Gold that won't be easy to grab from the New Champion Nahe. Regardless of the outcome, if a rematch is made, this fight alone will be sure to PACK THE HOUSE!
*Bryan
Padilla
VS Jon Pryor
IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI
RULES WEST COAST SUPER WELTERWEIGHT TITLE *DEFENSE
This was a title defense of Bryan Padilla's IKF Amateur Muay Thai Rules West Coast Super
Welterweight Title. However, it was anything but a glory ending when he won the
title on July 11th, 2009 at Phantom Promotions', "Fight Night At The
Fox" in Redwood City, California, USA when he defeated previous
champion, John Duenas by TKO at 1:18 of round 2. On this night,
Padilla's challenger Jon Pryor found Padilla's number within
round 1 and simply took it to him right at the opening bell of round 2. Pryor
caught Padilla quickly and within a few seconds, (15 to be exact)
this bout was over by TKO and yet "Another" new Champion was
crowned for the IKF Amateur Muay Thai
Rules West Coast Super Welterweight title and his name this time is Jon
Pryor!
Could this be a cursed title? So far it seems likes "No One" will be allowed a successful defense of this particular title. The title was vacant when Duenas first won it on March 27th, 2009, again, at Phantom Promotions', "Fight Night At The Fox" in Redwood City, California, USA when he defeated Abel Carrasco by unanimous decision 38-37, 38-37 & 38-37. So far, the two previous Champions have lost the title on their first defense. Hopefully the result won't be the same for Pryor.
T.J. Arcangel
VS Tyler Cronin
This bout was
planned to be the first title defense of IKF
Amateur Muay Thai Rules California Light Welterweight Title won by T.J.
Arcangel back on November 22nd, 2009 in Sacramento, California at the very
same venue, just in a different room, on AK Promotions' "IKF Kickboxing" when he defeated Jimmy
Machado of Concord, California by unanimous decision, 40-36, 39-37 &
39-37. It was a welcomed challenge for Cronin who's the team-mate of
Machado, both trained by Dan Black. However, it was a challenge
that would be bitter sweet. Cronin was unable to make the title weight
of 142, coming in at 144 and unable to drop the two lbs. This could have meant
the end of this bout since it wasn't for a title, however, being the warrior he
is, Cronin elected to still go on with the fight, without the title on
the line.
Scheduled for 3 instead of the required 4 for a title bout, it was an Explosive final bout of the night that sent the crowd away wanting MORE! In the end, Arcangel took it by unanimous decision, 29-28 on all three judges cards. We look forward to a possible rematch here with Cronin making his weight and redeeming himself for the IKF Gold unless Arcangel is shooting for the IKF West Coast title or maybe even a USA Title on his next outing. But until that happens, the Gold of the IKF Amateur Muay Thai Rules California Light Welterweight Title is still proudly worn by Champion, T.J. Arcangel
Here are all the
detailed results of the nights action.
