The Junior Light Contact Show in Tuam was a resounding succcess with fighters travelling from as far as Dundalk, Waterford, Clare, Kilkenny, Dublin, Limerick, Cavin, Two Clubs from Galway City and of course Tuam itself. The tournament was to promote the Tuam Black Dragon Kickboxing Club which opened last November and was incidentally the very first Kickboxing Tournament ever held in Tuam but it certainly won't be the last as Chief Coach Pete Foley intends running events there on a regular basis.

The gym is a 3,000 sq. ft. facility and has 4 punch bags, a full boxing ring, threadmill, strider, rower, speed ball and of course 16 pairs of sparring gloves, focus pads, thai pads, kick paddles, kick shields, skipping ropes etc. It looks like the already busy club will be even busier as the Junior show will no doubt attract more members.

Kicks Fly In The Mighty North!
Promoter Bobby Anderson Scores Big!
McDermid & Whiley Take Home Gold!

Last night was a night that brought back some great memories of a sport so many still have great passion for... KICKBOXING! With the rapid growth of Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing has found itself taking a back seat throughout America. However, on this night, Promoter Bobby Anderson put together a show that reminded everyone that Kickboxing is a sport of high skill level, endurance and most of all, Excitement! There have been bigger shows, bigger fights, bigger crowds. However, this was never planned to be a Madison Square Garden style event. Anderson made a commitment to keep the sport alive in the Mighty North and has set out on a smooth pace to accomplish just that.

Persistence and consistency will build his shows, not fancy lights and massive fight cards which will eventually add to his events. Just find a great venue like the Mermaid Event Center in Mounds View, Minnesota, USA, make a schedule and stick to it. Just like a technical fighter goes to work in the fight ring, Anderson and his staff have made plans for the long hall... The full 12 rounds and taking each round one at a time. There are plenty of kickboxers around, but the opportunities for them to perform and compete are becoming less and less. All this sport needs is more promoters who can commit to the long haul and simply be consistent like Anderson has... Any takers?

No matter how good the fighters are, without promoters holding events, they will never be able to show the world their talent. Promoters are the most important part of the fight sports and without them, there would be no venue for the IKF or any sanctioning body to sanction, and no stage for fighters to fight on. With this reality, our hat is off to Bobby Anderson and the other kickboxing promoters out there who keep this sport alive. With that being said, lets get to the results of tonights "Mighty North" Action!

As expected, we will begin with the fight everyone wants to know about, the quest for yet another IKF Amateur World title. Top contender Adam McDermid has looked better inside the squared circle before. He even admitted it himself. However, fighting in front of his hometown for the first time and a big time title on the line brought even more pressure on the 26 year old fighter from Mountain Iron, Minnesota USA. Still, even an Adam at 70% is better than many at 100%. So was the case tonight for him against challenger Daniel Brison of Hurricane, West Virginia USA ( 8-2/5)Brison had some moments, but tonights story was all McDermid. A quick look at the kick count through 5 rounds and you can see where this one went. McDermid threw a total of 83 kicks over the 5 rounds to Brison's 31 winning all 5 rounds in the kick tally, 19-6, 13-6, 16-8, 22-7 and 13-4. In the end, McDermid had won all but 1 round on every judges scorecard in rout to a unanimous decision victory, 50-43, 50-43 and 49-44.

Making the night worse for Brison was when he lost 2 points in the final round from World Class Referee Dan Stell. One for missing the mandatory 6 kicks per round (4) and the other for failing to keep his mouthpiece in which had come out for the 5th time. Brison had some furry moments in round 2 where he looked like he was going to pick it up against McDermid but just could not keep up the pace he needed to. Whether it be a little fatigue from the flight from West Virginia or just not being fully prepared for McDermid's kick attack, tonight just wasn't Brison's night. In the end, we all have a new IKF World Champion as Adam McDermid takes home the IKF Gold in winning the vacant IKF Amateur FCR Cruiserweight World title. Congratulations Adam!

Two other warriors met up for the opportunity of taking home some more IKF Gold. On the line was the vacant IKF Amateur Minnesota State Super Welterweight Title. In the ring was Adam Patneaude of Cambridge Minnesota facing off against Mitch Whiley of Minneapolis, Minnesota and on the team of powerhouse Celler Kickboxing. Although this was no kicking clinic like McDermid put on, the action was still there. However, Patneaude was fighting an uphill battle all 4 rounds, and we really mean, uphill. Whiley stood 5'10" to Patneaude's 5'6" and those 4 inches made a big difference both inside and out. Still, Patneaude put up 31 kicks through the 4 rounds to Whiley's 29, but this fight wasn't won with kicks. It was won on ring generalship, which Whiley managed to control throughout the fight with a smooth serving mixture of both hands and feet. In the end, Whiley became the new IKF Amateur Full Contact Rules Minnesota State Champion with a unanimous decision victory over Patneaude, 40-35, 39-36 and 39-36.

Here is how the remainder of the nights bouts turned out.

1. David Anderson (1-0/0, 176, 6'1", 31, Combat Jujitsu Mpls) defeated Josh Bernstein (0-1, 176, 5'10", 21, Celler Kickboxing) by unanimous decision, 29-28, 29-28 and 30-27.
   • Anderson won all 3 rounds in the kick count as well, 12-6, 11-8 and 11-8.
     
     
     
2. Scott Legus (9-4/0, 163, 6', Bloomington Karate) defeated Cody Runquist (5-3/0, 165, 5'7", 17, Iron Range Kickboxing) by TKO at 1:30 of round 1.
   • THIS bout NEEDS to be talked about! Back on September 29th, 2007 in Hinckley, Minnesota, USA Legus was given the opportunity to fight for the vacant IKF Minnesota Jr. Light Middleweight title against Chuck "The Bulldog" Anderson. When the smoke cleared, Legus had lost to Anderson by Split decision, 28-29, 28-29, 29-28. That being said, it was no surprise that Legus is on a mission for another IKF title shot and his performance tonight all but solidified him one. We thought McDermid put on a kicking clinic for 5 rounds, how about a clinic even more impressive for 90 seconds? Yes, 90 Seconds! Within that 90 seconds Legus threw "22" Kicks and stopped his opponent Cody Runquist with a strong body kick at the 1:30 mark of round 1. WOW! Legus' legs were moving so fast we could hardly keep up, and not just fast, THEY WERE LANDING ON SOLID TARGETS! just ask Runquist. Impressive work Mr. Legus! You will get your shot at some gold again soon!
     
     
     
3. Jordan Allan (12-8-1/2, 134, 5'5", 21, Progressive Martial Arts) defeated DeeJay Jones (16-6/2, 131, 5'6", 27, Justin Whiley) by split decision, 30-27, 29-28 and 28-29.
   • Lets go back to the 2007 IKF World Classic Tournament in Orlando, Florida, USA. On his way to winning the 2007 IKF Featherweight World Classic Title, DeeJay Jones defeated Jorden Allan in a prelim bout by unanimous decision, 30-27, 30-27 & 29-28. So now, 2 years later, did Jones underestimate Allan? Possibly so but who really knows. The fact is, Allan fought a very different fight this time against the quick and speedy Jones. Allan won the overall 3 round kick count 42 to Jones' 30 and won every round in the kick count department too, 18-12, 13-10 and 12-8. Still, Jones made it close with his ever busy hands which made it a nightmare for the judges to separate. This fight was so good that Promoter Bobby Anderson and IKF President Steve Fossum agreed to put the "Rubber match" on Anderson's November 7th fight card but this time, put up some IKF Gold for the winner. In November, these two will touch gloves for the vacant IKF Amateur FCR North American Lightweight (127.1 lbs. - 132 lbs.) Title. If he wins, it will be yet another IKF North American title for Jones to add to his collection along with the one he won at the 2005 IKF *North American Tournament in Orlando Florida.
     (*) Prior to the expansion and name changed to the World Classic.
     
     
     
4. PRO Kickboxing
   • TJ Gibson (1-0, A: 14-1/12, 193, 5'9", 32, Iron Range Kickboxing, Hibbing, Minnesota, USA) defeated Marty "The Wolfman" Lindquist (26-6/15, A: 8-2/5, 187, 6', 39, Blaine, Minnesota, USA) by injury TKO at 1:34 of round 2 when Lindquist dislocated his shoulder.
     • On the cards, Gibson was ahead after 1 round 10-8 on all three judges cards after Lindquist lost a point for only getting in 6 of the required 8 kicks. Gibson had launched 10 kicks in round 1 and 11 by the end in round 2 to Lindquist's 1.

TONIGHT IS TITLE NIGHT
IN VIKING COUNTRY!

Although the Minnesota Viking football team is off to a slow start this year, IKF Promoter Bobby Anderson is hoping tonights IKF World title event will be the beginning of a major push for more kickboxing in the land of 10,000 lakes!

In a few hours, the IKF will have a new World Champion and Anderson will have started his quest to put kickboxing back on the Minnesota map in a big way! Tonight at the Mermaid Event Center in Mounds View, Minnesota, USA, Bobby Anderson's Warrior Fitness & Fight Promotions will Presents FULL CONTACT KICKBOXING and the MAIN EVENT will be the quest for the vacant IKF Amateur Full Contact Rules Cruiserweight World Title. The number one contender will be 2008 IKF World Classic Tournament Champion - Adam McDermid of Moutain Iron, Minnesota USA. McDermid has an impressive record of 22 wins against 4 losses and 1 draw.

His challenger will be Daniel Brison of Hurricane, West Virginia USA. Brison is trained by IKF Pro World Champion Mike Sheppard and comes to the ring with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss with 5 of his victories coming by KO/TKO. He is the number 4 contender and was awarded the title shot after both number 2 contender Michael Decker of Sewell, New Jersey, USA and number 3 contender David Boles of Dalton, Georgia, USA were unable to take the fight.

McDermid will have plenty of experience in his corner just like Brison. He is trained by Justin Whiley at Iron Range Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts and also associated with the collection of Champions at Cellar Kickboxing ( www.cellarkickboxing.com ) in New Brighton, Minnesota. At this years IKF World Classic, Adam first faced off against and defeated Jason Beall of North Augusta, Georgia by an impressive Head kick KO at :45 of round 2. In the Championship bout he met up with number 2 contender Michael Decker and defeated him in an action packed bout by unanimous decision, 30-27, 30-27 & 29-28. He shared the Cellular Kickboxing glory with team-mate Chris Cichon of St. Paul, Minnesota, USA who won his IKF World Classic Title when he defeated England's Justin Whiley by KO at 1:12 of round 1. Cichon is also the IKF US Light Middleweight Champion, a title he won on May 30th, 2008 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin when he defeated Leroy Walters by unanimous decision, 50-43 on all 3 judges cards.

Two years ago at the IKF World Classic, McDermid had lost to number 3 contender David Boles in a hard fought and extremely close bout by majority decision, 28-28, 30-26 & 29-27. What a difference a year made! He was one of the most impressive fighters in the Tournament this year and his head kick KO was the most exciting KO Finish of the Tournament! A rematch with Boles would have been a classic showdown for the two for the ultimate prize in Amateur Kickboxing, the IKF World Title!

However, Adam's moment of glory was not just at last years World Classic. He won the 2006 IKF World Classic Tournament as well. In his first round of action he faced off against Tony Black of Quispamsis, New Brunswick. Canada (14-7/2) and took the win by Split decision, 30-27, 29-28 & 27-30. In the Championship bout he went toe to toe with Nick Reeder of Columbia, Missouri, USA and walked out of the ring with the IKF Title after a Unanimous Decision victory, 30-27, 30-27 & 29-28.

Although Daniel Brison comes to the ring with less experience and far less headlines and IKF Gold then Adam, this alone may be his strength. Since little is known about Brison it makes McDermid's game plan much like he had to prepare for in the IKF Tournaments, where he had no idea who he would face. Brison comes in with a much higher knockout percentage than McDermid with 5 wins by KO/TKO in his 7 bouts compared to Adam's 4 KO/TKO victories in 27 bouts. While Brison will most likely be looking for that big punch that has ended the majority of his bouts, McDermid is most likely to stick to his past business of being a well rounded technician who has shown he can land punches and kicks at will for points on the judges cards. Needless to say, this may prove to be a power vs speed bout and in the end, someone will walk away with the IKF Amateur Cruiserweight World title!

Before the world title bout will be an action packed undercard that will include the quest for the vacant IKF Amateur Full Contact Rules Super Welterweight title between Mitch Whiley (6-1) and Adam Pattenude (5-0).

The night will also highlight the Pro Kickboxing debut of current IKF Amateur Heavyweight World Champion T.J. Gibson (Right) of Hibbing, Minnesota, USA. Gibson who is trained by Tim Runquist compiled an amateur record of 9 wins and 1 loss with 6 of his wins coming by way of KO'TKO. He won his IKF Amateur World title on April 26, 2008 in Loves Park, Illinois, USA when he defeated Roy Jones (Waterloo, Iowa, USA, 7-2) by Split Decision, 48-47, 47-48, 46-49.

Gibson's bout will be a challenge though when he takes on former KICK Pro World champion Marty "The Wolfman" Lindquist. After holding his title for 3 years Lindquist (26-6 ) fought as a pro kickboxer from 1986 to 2002. He lost his world light heavyweight title in late 1999 to Rashid Lee of Detroit. After kickboxing he went into pro boxing where he built a pro boxing record of 13-7 with 10 wins coming by KO. However, his last bout was a TKO loss back in June of 2006 to Harley Kilfian at the Grand Casino in, Hinckley, Minnesota. He also tried his hand in mixed Martial Arts but stopped after only 2 fights and a 1-1 record.

While Lindquist will be looking to regain some of that past glory for a possible second coming, Gibson hopes to make a big splash into the pro kickboxing ranks with a big win. One thing is for sure, by tonight, we will either have a star reborn or a new star emerge.

Tickets for the event are all General Admission for $30. The venue only has 500 seats so you need to get to the door early! Doors open at 7:PM and the fights start at 8:PM! For more info please contact IKF Promoter Bobby Anderson at (612) 716-9654 or go to www.WarriorsFightPromotions.com
The referee for tonights action will be Dan Stell while IKF President Steve Fossum will be the IKF Event Representative.

Martial Arts Champion
Tyler Weaver Jr.
To Perform On Oprah

US Open World Champion Tyler Weaver Jr.,
who emerged just three years ago as a phenomenon in youth martial arts forms and weapons competition,
will appear as a featured guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday, September 9th.

Tyler Weaver Jr. (Left) 12, holds the current ISKA World Title in the Black Belt Advanced Skills (Tricks) Demonstration Division, for youth competitors 13 years & below. He captured the title at the 2008 ISKA World Championships, held at the US Open in July at Walt Disney World. He is expected to defend the title next year at the US Open, his last year before graduating up to the 14-17 year age group.

Tyler previously held the 2006 World Musical Forms and 2007 World Weapons titles. He caught the attention of the show's producers after viewing footage provided by the ISKA and KICKgen.com in response to an inquiry from the show. Clips of his title-winning performance are expected to air on the show as well, with the full recording airing as part of the two-hour ESPN2 special on the US Open scheduled for broadcast on November 26th of this year.

Not bad at all for a young man who, at the age of one, was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, a rare illness of unknown cause that strikes children under five with a high fever and potential cardiovascular damage. "We were advised to keep Tyler out of strenuous activities as he grew up," says Tyler Weaver Sr., "but we knew what martial arts could do for him, and he just took to it like it was second nature." Not surprising, since his father is a 25-year practitioner and chief instructor at the family's martial arts studio in Denver. According to his mother, Stephanie, the turning point for his interest in competition came in 2003, after seeing Taylor Lautner win the US Open on ESPN. "After that it was all he could think about," says Stephanie. "He wanted to follow the same road Taylor had, so we enrolled him in Mike Chat's camp at the US Open in 2005. A year later he had his first world title, and there was no turning back." (Lautner is now a full-time movie actor, appearing in 2005's Shark Boy and Lava Girl and Cheaper by the Dozen 2, and is cast in this year's Twilight, based on the book by Stephenie Meyer).

Despite his busy travel schedule for competition, Tyler excels academically as well, studying mathematics at a high school level even though he is only in the seventh grade. So with all this success, how does a 12-year old stay humble? "I just remind myself that though I have the title now, in a year I'll be defending it, and there's always someone just like me working just as hard for it. I have to continue to earn it." Adds his dad Tyler Sr., "He's very disciplined for someone his age, and he knows what kind of effort it takes to be the best. Tyler understands that being a martial arts world champion is a journey, not a destination."

Tyler has also earned his first endorsement in 2007 by Aznar Enterprises. He is sponsored by Prorank World Elite, Kiai Apparel, and Aznar Enterprises. He has been seen on ESPN 2, TV Azteca, ABS-CBNI International, NBC's Megan Mullally Show, VH1, Martial Arts TV, and the Disney Channel. Tyler has been sponsored to do live performances throughout the US and Central America including Mexico, Canada, and Guatemala. Tyler will be representing Team USA in the upcoming Martial Arts Olympics in St. Petersburg, Russia in April 2007. Lastly, to add to his impressive resume, Tyler has been awarded the Black Belt Hall of Fame Title in 2007 for Jr. Male Competitor of the Year.
