California Athletic Commission Approves International Kickboxing Tournament!
IKF West Coast Classic Muay Thai / Kickboxing Tournament
Coming to Sacramento, California 2011...
November 25th, 26th and 27th!
Bring Your Best to the West!

With welcome news the California Athletic Commission, Director Mr. George Dodd,
and his distinguished board approved the International Kickboxing Federation (IKF)
to host and produce a version of its
IKF World Classic Kickboxing Championship Tournament in California!

The event has been taking place for the past twelve years in other states like Iowa and Florida. (For info on past IKF Tournaments - CLICK HERE!) The IKF World Classic, has had up to 300 competitors combined with men, women and children ages 7 and up. Although the IKF "WORLD" Classic Championship Tournament will continue each year in Orlando Florida, (2012 IKF World Classic Tournament Click Here.) the West Coast Classic Tournament is be the first of several added IKF tournaments around the Nation. (Soon to Come the IKF East Coast Classic and the IKF Midwest Classic)

The IKF Tournaments has been the proving ground for the best Kickboxers and Muay Thai Fighters in the world in full contact action! Nick-named the "Golden Gloves of Kickboxing Tournament," approximately a dozen countries send fighters, trainers and fans to this exciting affair! The IKF World Classic is well organized with beautiful championship belts and recognized value that will last a lifetime to those with the ability to win a championship. Moreover, the tournament has been an incubator for years for many of today's kickboxing, Muay Thai and mixed martial arts competitors. Now, all of this prestige will come to Sacramento, California in The IKF West Coast Muay Thai / Kickboxing Classic Tournament and continue the legacy of excellence! This historical event has been highly anticipated for the last decade as the West Coast has had some of the most talented kickboxers and promotions in the country over the past twenty years. The Best fighters from around the world will now have the opportunity to match their skills against West Coast elites!

The IKF West Coast Classic will be held the weekend of November 25th, 26th and 27th (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in Sacramento, California at the beautiful Radisson Hotel located at 500 Leisure Lane, Sacramento, CA 95815. Yes, the weekend following Thanksgiving Day.

Some may ask, why this weekend? One of the motivators was last year, we witnessed over 2000 + Karate competitors and family members travel to Sacramento one day after Christmas and stay an entire week (Dec. 26th through Jan. 1st) supporting one of the Largest Karate Tournaments (respectfully) in the world called the Super Grands. Clearly, family members, Karate athletes and fans are committed to their sport and annually reserve the date to attend this excellent event. The time is now for the Kickboxing & Muay Thai community to rise up and move the needle on our sport. The IKF West Coast Muay Thai / Kickboxing Championship is the perfect opportunity for you to show your support and passion for the sport you love too! We hope that you will consider the Kickboxing & Muay Thai community as part of your family and come out to this great event!

The IKF West Coast Muay Thai / Kickboxing Championship is a must for the serious fighters! Furthermore, the venue is near major shopping areas offering Super Black Friday deals for those that come in early! Its highly recommended that you book your room and flights now! As is with the IKF World Classic, all competitors will need to stay at the host hotel, the Sacramento Radisson. Be sure to use the proper booking code (For Hotel Info Click HERE!) to reserve your rooms in order to receive the discounted entry fee to the tournament. Moreover, staying at the hotel keeps you accessible for all the action for the weekend.

The tournament will have four major forms of Kickboxing for men, women and children ages 7 and up. Modified Muay Thai Rules, which consist of kicks and punches of normal kickboxing but adds knees. Full Rules Muay Thai which includes elbows and International Rules which has boxing and all kicks... including kicks to the legs...minus the knees to the body. There will also be the High Kick divisions which only allows kicks above the waist with all boxing techniques included.

The first day ( Friday, November 25th) will be registration, weigh-ins, pre fight physical exams, rules meeting etc. for the hundreds of fighters that will attend. The second day (Saturday November 26th) will be the first round of eliminations. Brackets with eight competitors (Brackets will be limited to the first "8" Fighters registered!) will require a second fight on this day for the winners of their first bout. The third day (Sunday, November 27th) also known as Championship Sunday... is where the two finalist in their weight division will fight for the IKF West Coast Muay /Thai Kickboxing Classic Championship.

Muay Thai / Kickboxing! Say it loud and say it proud!
Muay Thai / Kickboxing! How great thou art! What can one say when you have some of the most talented fighters in the world and some of the most disciplined fighters in the world showcasing the best of themselves each and every time they are given the opportunity. They do not do this for the millions of dollars that other contact sports enjoy. They do not do if for TV exposure as there is little of that; They do it for the most part for one reason...PASSION! Kickboxers and Muay Thai Fighters around the world had to take a second or third seat to other contact sports but what Kickboxers and Muay Thai Fighters are starting to realize again is that indeed they are special athletes that will stand tall on any stage anywhere on the planet! What Kickboxers and Muay Thai Fighters are realizing more and more is that the dedication and hard work they put in the gym deserves to be showcased in front of the elites of the world and the millions of fight fans who enjoy their pure exploits of brilliant athleticism.

Passion, it burns in every real fighter and its this passion that so many in the kickboxing world have that will take the sport to the next level and those that continue to come out to kickboxing shows that are put on well etc. will show why TV executives, huge casino owners and mega sports entertainment companies are simply missing the boat by not getting on board! To put it simply...they are missing their Starbucks moment but perhaps soon...someone will wakeup and "smell the coffee," step up and give the fighters, fans and the sport what it deserves!

With another AK promotions event being scheduled for early to mid. October in preparation for the First Annual IKF West Coast Classic Tournament that will be held in Sacramento at the Radisson Hotel in late November. This event will have fighters from around the world participating in this "Golden Glove Style" tournament in assorted rules styles. Adding to a full weekend of action-packed fights will also be vendors, movie stars and more...the future is getting brighter for Kickboxing and Muay Thai!

For those that have been in the audience at one of the many AK promotions shows held mostly in the Sacramento, California area over the past three years, you have witnessed several fighters like Jon "The Hawk" Pryor of Sacramento ascend to the top of his division and now is the man to beat as the new IKF World Champion. You have also witness fighters like Daniel "Hitman" Hodges of Rocklin, California win numerous titles in rugged good old fashion, never a dull - moment brawls. T.J. Arcangle of San Francisco, California continues to display technical brilliance in his quest for the IKF World Title and newcomer, Ed Abosolo of Vallejo, California is determined to demonstrate he will be a force to recon with for sometime.

However, of these one of the most impressive performances has been the comeback kid who fought his way back to the top of the division after suffering a devastating knockout! Xavier "Sagat" Vigney of Pleasant Hill, California has the skill, personality and stature to begin to change the game for the sport! Skill-wise, his boxing ability is as good as the Klitchko brothers who both stand around 6'7" or 8" and are current Boxing world Champions. Fight fans love the big guys! Personality- wise... Vigney is simply one of the most personable people you would ever want to meet and one you would want as your neighbor as well as for a role model for your kids. At 6'8", he's noticeable in any arena and will make you take notice, as you should when he steps into the room or the ring. Vigney's gentle giant demeanor on the outside of the ring is a contradiction to what we witness in combat...he a wrecking machine trying to get you out of there...believe that!

Vigney's full package will garner attention from the naysayers and when they see him fight, they will also be impressed with this young man who unless someone can stop the "Sagat Train" is destined to become a world champ! Friday, September 2nd, in Sacramento at the Doubletree Hotel, 6'5", Matt King of Dublin will get his chance. With his 6 wins with only 2 losses, he should give Vigney a run. However, if he is not successful, the rest of the world is welcome to send in their request to try and derail one that currently seems unstoppable on his quest to the top!

Xavier Vigney
IKF Amateur
United States
Super Heavyweight Champion

As mentioned earlier, we have watched Jon Pryor climb to the top of his division. He was the hunter but is now the hunted as those from around the world are watching his every move. Up next is a young talented fighter out of Phoenix, Arizona that many have not seen here but have heard is a lean and mean fighting machine.

Damien Early with 12 wins and only one defeat and sports a 6' frame at 153 lbs, will push Pryor to his limits in his attempt to take the title back home. We know Pryor has fast feet and hands. However, we often have to wonder what Pryor will show up.

If the Pryor with heart and passion and the will to obtain his title shows up, he will walk out still champion as he will show us the skills we know he has but sometimes fails to let it go.

However, if Pryor is not on board that night, Early could be crowned the new champion and the IKF World Championship will travel back to Arizona around the waist of the new champion.

Ed Abosolo is a star and a champion! He just is! If you have the opportunity, walk up to this guy, you will feel stardom written all over him. Frankly, as one spectator in the audience at his last fight noted..."he is one of the coolest fighters you have ever witnessed in the ring."

Dancing on his entrance to the ring, calculating his opponent's every thought with precision and has an offensive and defensive strategy for every move.

Abosolo enters the ring like its his office and the opponent is visiting for a business meeting. After he dismantles them, he bows and shakes their hand showing respect but at the same time, he confidently gives notice to everyone in the Light Middleweight and Middleweight division that he is the man to beat... so come get some!

Coming to get some will be Abosolo's toughest challenge to date, Armin Safiari, an international undefeated fighter who plans to reduce Abosolo to just another fighter. "Fearless" as his Trainer Kirian Fitzgibbons proclaims and puts it plain..."Armin will beat Ed" he makes no bones about it but the task is yet to be accomplished and we will only know after the final bell of this excellent match for the gold on September 2nd.

In another title fight in a night loaded with championship fights, Jesus Sosa of San Leandro, California who is the current IKF California Welterweight Champion is a throw-back fighter with guts and balls to go with it!

He comes at you like a bull but with tricks like a matador and with heavy hands that will knock you out as he showed his last two opponents.

Eric Luna of San Jose, California has been around awhile and has a lot of experience with excellent training by his world champion coach Derek Yuen. However, we are not sure he has ever seen the likes of Sosa.

If Sosa shows any of the potential he has shown in recent fights, Luna may want to polish up his game plan and be sure he is ready for a war because for sure that is exactly what this exciting match up will be!

Again, AK Promotions is presenting two very talented junior fighters. Both fighters have a ton of "Smoker and unregulated" experience mostly because the State of California has only recently allowed Junior Kickboxing fighters to compete. Although, they are making their official debut, both fighters have well over 18 fights each and will show great techniques.

Word is out on Dakota Huizar of Concord, California that he is one of the most talented juniors out there. However, we have seen Robert Burgess of Ceres, California and he is no joke either. This bout like many who saw the last junior bout are saying that it could be the fight of the night…Yes, with all of the great matches schedules, these two juniors could steal the show.

Both are so hungry and determined and both know that with a win an IKF title opportunity is surely coming soon and that is with almost certainty.

So, there will be a lot at stake for these two juniors and the only question left is who will want it most and be willing to "go to the mud" for the victory. We will see!

Ok, along with an incredible line up of fighters from across the state and beyond including a great rematch that ended in a draw on the last card between Manuel Engberson, of Sacramento, California and Jeremy Jacildo of Vallejo, California, September 2nd will be yet another great evening of IKF Championship Kickboxing and yet another showing of the greatness of the fighters who will be performing for a packed house in the Grand Ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel.

SPONSOR GIFTS!

For nearly every IKF Tournament there are two company names that literally grew their name from the Tournament. Ringside Inc. was already a major player in the Boxing world and the IKF was a fast growing Kickboxing and Muay Thai organization. In late 1998, IKF President Steve Fossum and then Ringside representative Joe Taylor made a connection over the phone and soon after, the rest was History. Ringside and the IKF teamed up to sponsor the very first IKF Tournament in 1999, "The IKF/Ringside USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships" As the years went by, sales became so large for their Kickboxing and MMA that Joe Taylor and Ringside owner John Brown made the decision to add an entirely new company for fight sports other than Boxing known asCombat Sports International. Soon after, MMA exploded and once again, the rest is history.

Every year Ringside or now, Combat Sports International with the efforts of now President Joe Taylor, give away free gifts to every participant as well as free Autograph Gloves to every IKF Tournament Champion. Along with the Champion Gloves, every fighter will receive a Mini Keychain Glove and Handwraps and all "PRE REGISTERED CHIEF" will get a free Trainers Bag. Combat Sports International and the IKF will also team up for Champion Sweatshirts for all the Tournament Champions!

This years IKF World Classic Fighters will be fighting with Gloves provided by Combat Sports International.

They will be Red and Blue Wendy Fight Gloves along with Combat Sports Shin Pads for the fighters who need them.

Although Wendy and Combat Sports won't have a booth at the IKF World Classic this year,
we would like to Thank Them for their continued support of the IKF Tournaments! It is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

WHO ELSE BELIEVES IN THE FREE SPONSOR GIFTS?
Has anyone here ever heard of the company called "WIPSS?" Well, maybe not, but some here can still remember that the first name of the custom mouthguard company BRAINPAD was once called Wipss. Brainpad and it's founder Joe Manzo have been with the IKF Tournaments since the seconds one in 2000. Every year they have giving free mouthgurads to EVERY, yes, EVERY FIGHTER in the tournament. This year will be no different with company representative Chris Bolan who will not only have a booth at the event but also help the fighters fit their new Brainpad mouthguard if they want to wear it at the Tournament.

The relationships between Brainpad and the IKF, like Ringside and Combat Sports International goes well beyond the IKF Tournaments. The IKF and other sanctioning bodies ( The ISCF, ISKA and KICK International also made the commitment after the IKF did ) made a commitment last year to begin the implementation of "Dual Arch" technology (A full upper and lower mouthguard for added safety) as a requirement for every fighter on Sanctioned events. Some still would rather use a single guard or a custom dentist made fitted mouthguard and although the IKF and other organizations (Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA) cannot "Force" a fighter to use the dual arch system, the IKF has noticed a significant decrease in head injuries and knockouts of the fighters that do use them.

It's been proven that Brainpads Dual Arch Technology has added a higher level of safety for any fighter taking a shot to the head or jaw as compared to a single guard mouthguard. Like Ringside/Combat Sports International, when every fighter leaves the event, they will surly remember Brainpad for their generous gifts to help them in their fighting career.

Congratulations TBA!

The IKF would like to congratulate
Pete and Pam Peterson along with all the
2011 TBA Muay Thai Tournament Champions.

This was the 5th year of the Thai Boxing Associations (TBA) Tournament which took place in Des Moines Iowa last month.

Once again, they hosted record numbers of Muay Thai Fighters proving that you don't have to travel outside of North America to find
GREAT MUAY THAI!
Congratulations on all your hard work to provide a great opportunity for Amateur Muay Thai Fighters and Congratulations to all the
2011 TBA Tournament Champions!

Some of you fighters we will see next week at this years IKF World Classic, and if not, we hope to see you next year!

They always say the fans will remember the last bout most from a fight event. Well if this is true, fight fans will have this bout in their fight memories for a LONG time! For the Super Heavyweight fight fans that miss seeing K-1 here in North America, you should have been in Sacramento, CA this past Friday night. Although it wasn't called K-1, and the bout was actually in Muay Thai Rules, Promoter Johnny Davis has without a doubt taken center stage as the West Coast's BEST PROMOTER! And he's doing it with Amateur Fighters!

Tonights fights had everything the past AK Promotions have had on them. A dynamic Action Packed undercard topped with "True Top Contender" Title bouts. Oh to be so lucky, so privileged to fight on one of these events. Since stepping it up a year or so ago, AK Promotions has avoided the high school gyms, fairground buildings, and venues of the like. All AK Promotions events are now held in Classy Venues and attached with them are some of the best Amateur Muay Thai and Kickboxing bouts in the Nation!

This was the stage for this past Friday night and the shows Main Event was not just some "MADE-UP" title many see on some other California Promotions or other shows nationwide. The promoter here is not the "Sanctioning Body" and the title fighters on AK Promotions events are actually RANKED Contenders that anyone can look up in the IKF Rankings! Titles on an AK Promotions event are with LEGIT Contenders. Win or lose, ALL of these fighters secure a place in history as they become part of the only Amateur Kickboxing or Muay Thai Rankings in the world! An IKF Title win here doesn't just come with a shinny belt and a soon to be forgotten headline on some unknown website somewhere. A Title win here and a fighter is remembered forever! Be it within the Past IKF Champions Pages or within the IKF Rankings. An IKF win actually "Stands For Something!"

As was the case with John "Big Sexy" Hurney! A fighter that wasn't just called up out of the blue and asked, "Hey, want to fight for a title" just to give the impression to the public that the show has some legit title fight on it. No, Hurney, like all IKF Title Contenders had to prove himself and earn his way to "Title Town!"

What got us here...
During that quest, Hurney made a name for himself as a fighter with "HEAVY HANDS" or in some cases, a "HEAVY LEG!" He reminds us of a fighter from Bakersfield California named Boyd "The Bounty Hunter" Murphy. Murphy had his share of fights he fully controlled, however, there were some he got into trouble with. Still, no matter how much trouble he might get into, at ANY time, he could always land that "Game Changing" big right hand. We had seen it in fight after fight with him.

Hurney seems to be the same type of fighter. Able to control a bout, but if in trouble, he could always land a heavy hand, or in some cases, a heavy leg! For example, during his "Proving Days" he defeated someone we call a "Knockout Artist" himself as an undefeated (8-0) MMA fighter and at the time, an undefeated (2-0), Kickboxer, Nick Thompson. Hurney disposed of Thompson by Knock Out at 1:04 of round 1 on May 29th, 2010 in Vallejo, California. After Thompson, Hurney (Hurney) was invited to step into the IKF 4 man USA title bracket with 3 other Super Heavyweights, Xavier Vigney of Pleasant Hill, California, USA, 3-0, 250, 6'8", Hugo Dominguez of Patterson, California, USA, 3-1, 220, Manuel Mancha of Sacramento, California, USA, 3-0, 265, 6'3".

So it came to be on October 8th, 2010 in Sacramento, California at the event weigh-ins, The 4 Super Heavyweights draw from a hat to determine their match-up on the nights event. Hurney's first opponent sounded like a "David meets Goliath" bout on paper. He would enter the ring with 6'7", 222 lb, Xavier Vigney. Manuel Mancha would meet up with Hugo Dominguez.

It was no surprise that Xavier Vigney was highly favored as his height alone towered over the 6'3 Hurney. However, it didn't take long for Hurney to make an instant name for himself as he stopped the big man Vigney by TKO at :59 seconds of round 1. Many at ringside though thought referee Ed Collantes should have given Vigney an 8 count instead of calling the fight over so quickly. It was at this moment that all Vigney would think about for some time was "Rematch!" Regardless, Hurney moved on to fight for the vacant IKF Super Heavyweight USA Title against Manuel Mancha. Mancha made a name for himself as well as he defeated Dominguez by Head Kick Knock Out at :14 seconds into round 1. Needless to say, going into the Title Bout, Everyone now had seen the Knockout Power of the two top contenders.

It was January 16th, 2011 in Sacramento, California on yet another AK Promotions event that Hurney and Mancha battled for the vacant IKF Super Heavyweight USA Title. It was a 3 round war that was explained as, "we all witnessed one of the most EXCITING, ACTION PACKED SLUGFESTS we may have ever seen. This bout was not just two big guys throwing hay-makers at each other hoping to land the lucky shot. We're talkin Spin Kicks to the head kind of ACTION! If you blinked, YOU MISSED A LOT! Sure, we have seen better "Methodical" bouts before at a much slower pace that some fight experts would call a "detailed" exhibition of talent... However, to see a total of 505 lbs. in total weight going at it NON STOP for nearly 3 rounds brought back memories of the "Fast Starting - Fast Paced" style of fighting the great former IKF Heavyweight World Champion - Dennis Alexio showed us all at Heavyweight. Sure, in the end there had to be a winner, but in the end, everyone in the Ballroom that night witnessed TWO WINNERS! When rounds 1 and 2 ended Hurney and Mancha came back to their corners with nothing left, as they energized themselves to "Give it their all" for the next round."

However, despite it being an exciting bout, there had to be a winner. This battle never made it to the scorecards. In fact, we never had to see the final 2 rounds as Hurney disposed of Mancha by Head Kick Knockout at 1:44 of round 3.

As time went by, Hugo Dominguez was out of the title hunt for Hurney to test his skills against. However, both Mancha and Vigney desperately desired to earn their way back for another shot at the Champ. So, on April 30th, 2011 in Lincoln, California, USA Vigney and Mancha stepped up to fight for the vacant IKF Amateur Muay Thai California Super Heavyweight title. In the end, we saw a drastically improved Vigney win the IKF Amateur Muay Thai California Super Heavyweight Title over Mancha by TKO at 1:17 of round 4. When we say "Drastically Improved" what we mean is pretty direct. Against Hurney, Vigney looked confused, not sure of himself and his own potential. He seemed to still be learning how to use his size in his favor as well as his simple weapons such as his jab. However, against Mancha, he had not only found his confidence, but also his jab, his cross, his knees and a load of other weapons he and trainer Dan Black had worked on. In a short time, Black had transformed the 6'7" Vigney into a legit "Fighting Machine!" He was tall, but no longer slow and sloppy. His punches snapped, and snapped the heads of his opponents as well. He had proven he truly deserved to meet Hurney again in a much desired rematch for Hurney's IKF USA Title. So be it, which brings us to this past Friday night.

This would be Hurney's first IKF title defense of the title he won on October 8th, 2010 in Sacramento, California, USA. There is an old saying in the fight game, "It's easier to go after the title than it is to defend it." A lesson Hurney seemed to learn on this night. We're not saying Hurney didn't want to win, or didn't want to stay on top. However, what we are saying is that the Hurney we saw this past Friday night was not the "HUNGRY" Hurney we saw back in October when he won the title. From start to finish, Xavier Vigney showed he wanted what he thought should have been his in the first place. As he saw it, he and others thought Referee Ed Collantes took from him back in October what was his in the first place. The IKF Super Heavyweight USA Title that another man was wearing around his waist. Collantes did as he's required to do. Act on the side of Safety. However, to Vigney, Safety was a scorned word. In the ring with him this time would be a more seasoned, experienced referee, Dan Stell.

From the opening bell, many at ringside were looking to see if Vigney's jaw would survive the hard shots we all knew Hurney would throw. There would be no doubt Hurney wanted this to be over quick. He's never been deep into rounds and no one knew how he would be if he had to go there. As we went through round 1, we all saw that Vigney not only survived some of those heavy hands of Hurney, but he walked right through a few. Vigney was composed and more so, ACCURATE! He never seemed to get winded and always seemed to find the target he was looking for on Hurney. By the time this bout hit the final round, Vigney had it in the bag. Still, he didn't just run away as some may have done to secure the title. He went after Hurney, forcing referee Dan Stell to give 2 standing 8 counts. Unlike Collantes, Stell let these two throw down to the end. Throughout the 5th and final round, Hurney kept throwing his bombs that some thought, if landed, would be the game changer. However, none of them even came close. Even if they did, Vigney was so relaxed and composed, he simply slipped them by.

As the final bell sounded, there was no doubt from anyone. We all knew there was a new Champion, and a proud one at that as Xavier Vigney improved his record to 7-1/3 as he defeated and took from Hurney, (5-1/2) the IKF Super Heavyweight USA Title he sought this past Fall by unanimous decision, 49-44 on all 3 judges cards.

Congratulation to Xavier Vigney as he becomes the new IKF Amateur Muay Thai Super Heavyweight Champion... What's next? Well, if we were guessing men, we would say, it's time for Hurney to chase after something now, and a rematch wouldn't surprise us here at all. :)

Below are the full details of the night...

Rasmussen: 29-27, Walker: 28-28, Thomas Gitlan: 28-28.
   After losing round 1, 10-8 from a knee to the stomach that forced an 8 count, Jacildo threw a load of well timed leg kicks that kept landing on Engberson in rounds 2 & 3 which helped Jacildo pull out at least a draw on 2 of the 3 judges cards.
   
   
   
4. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 215.1- UP

6. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: *215.1-225
   Rich Davis, (Rocklin, California, USA, 2-0/0, 225, 6'1", 10-16-90, RKB: (916) 630-9254) defeated Ben Cross (Sacramento, California, USA, 1-2, 218.8, 6', 9-22-72, Keith Miller, (916) 514-0100) by unanimous decision, 30-27 on all 3 judges cards.
   
   
   
7. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 172.1-179
   Adam Dunkel, (Brentwood, California, USA, 1-0/1, AMMA: 2-0, 177.2, 6', 7-21-89, Stephanie Gracie, (925) 956-9508) defeated Andrew ( Drew ) Hamilton, (Fairfield, California, USA, 0-1/0, 178.8, 6'3", 11-8-80, Trey Howard, (707) 373-4125) by TKO at :36 seconds of round 2.
   
   
   
8. IKF "JUNIOR" AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 117.1-120
   Roman Nava, (San Leandro, California, USA, 2-0/0, 118.8, 5'5", 15, 2-29-96, Ivan Ramos, (510) 685-0612) defeated Mikey Davis, (Brentwood, California, USA, 0-1/0, 118.8, 5'4", 15, 8-2-95, Stephanie Gracie, (925) 956-9508) by unanimous decision, 30-27, 30-27 & 29-28.
   WOW! At the time of this bout, this had our vote for "FIGHT OF THE NIGHT!" The overall score does not truly reflect what a great bout this was. Yes, all 3 judges gave every round but 1 to Nava, but we assure you, the margin was NOT by much! Davis and Nava (15 years old each) both have previous "Smoker Bout" experience, and Roman Nava fought in his first sanctioned bout this past month on and IKF event. However other than that, this was Davis' first "Sanctioned" bout. These two out right stole the show the moment they went at it. They BOTH looked like seasoned fighters and put on a Muay Thai clinic much like we have see in Thailand by fighters of the same age. As Nava took the win, Davis left the ring with his head down. However, if you were there watching this fight as we were, you too would have done what we did... Stop Davis at the bottom of the stairs and told him he has NOTHING to hang his head about as BOTH these guys have a VERY BRIGHT Future ahead of them in this sport! Next stop... TITLE TOWN!
   
   
   
9. IKF AMATEUR FULL MUAY THAI RULES
   WEST COAST LIGHT MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE: 153.1-159
   Ed Abasolo, (Vallejo, California, USA, 5-0/0, 158, 5'10", 10-25-86, Trey Howard, (707) 373-4125) defeated Nick Balestra, (Sacramento, California, USA, 7-5/0, AMMA: 5-2, AB: 1-1, 158, 6'2", 9-9-91, Noi Nommasith, (916) 281-7006) by unanimous decision, 50-45 on all 3 judges cards.
   Every time we see Balestra fight, you would think he would use his height and reach to his ultimate advantage. At 6'2" against the shorter, 5'10" Abasolo, you would think this would of course be the case. However, Balestra did in this bout as we have seen him do in previous bouts. Throwing single punches and single kicks with no follow up combinations. This was the same scenario that lost him his IKF title fight earlier this year in San Francisco, CA. He would land a good shot, but yet, never follow it up. On the other hand, Abasolo did just the opposite. Well timed counters followed by various combinations kept him scoring at will. Many of his combinations included things like spinning elbows which seemed to catch Balestra often. It was almost as if Abasolo felt like he could land almost anything whenever he wanted to, and sadly for Balestra, he did. Great win by Abosolo and a Champion to be proud of as he becomes the new IKF Full Muay Thai Rules West Coast Middleweight Champion.
   
   
   
10. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 137.1-142
    Joel Douglas, (Magalia, California, USA, 1-1/0, 141, 5'8", 2-11-86, Braden Clements, (530) 354-0361) defeated Mitch Thompson, (Sacramento, California, USA, 1-2/0, 141, 5'9", 10-1-87, Cedric Robinson, (916) 601-9702) by unanimous decision, Thomas Gitlin: 29-28, Rasmussen: 30-27 & Walker: 29-28.
    
    
    
11. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 127- 132.1
    Nemo Vier, (Fairfield, California, USA, 2-2/0, 129, 5'10", 5-26-93, BBDC, (707) 372-0882) defeated Kingston Nguyen, (Oakland, California, USA, 1-2/0, 130, 5'8", 12-30-92, John Morrison, (925) 212-8751) by unanimous decision, 30-27, 29-28 & 29-28.
    • Kingston Nguyen has been suspended indefinitely from fighting and could also face a fine for inappropriate conduct that followed this bout. Also at this time, his cornerman John Morrison is under review and could also face a suspension and fine.
      
      
      
12. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 172.1-179
    Kristofer Williams, (Pleasant Hill, California, USA, 1-1/0, 178, 6'2", 5-30-86, Dan Black, (925) 813-0229) defeated Bode Weithington, (Sacramento, California, USA, 0-1/0, 176, 6'1", 10-22-75, 6'1", Cedric Robinson, (916) 601-9702) by split decision, 29-28, 29-28 & 28-29.
    
    
    
13. IKF AMATEUR MUAY THAI: 132.1-137
    Josslyn Mikow, (San Francisco, California, USA, 2-2-1/0, 140, 5'7", 7-25-77, Ganyao Fairtex, (415) 777-5888) defeated Jennifer Benda, (San Leandro, California, USA, 0-2, 137.4, 5'5", 3-4-76, Ivan Ramos, (510) 685-0612) by unanimous decision, 29028 on all 3 judges cards.
    At weigh-ins, Benda and her corner made a mistake we have seen too often by fighters. Seeing Mikow come in 3 lbs over weight, Benda, or at least her trainer, should have demanded Mikow lose at least the minimum 2 lbs in 1 hour that is medically allowed. However, they let it go, and although it was only 3 lbs, it showed as Mikow seemed to have little trouble pushing Benda around in the ring.
    Fighters, "MAKE YOUR WEIGHT!" And if your on the other end of that weight, after busting it to lose it, "Always demand your opponent to lose at least the minimum 2 lbs in 1 hour that is medically allowed."
