Two Big Men...
Make a Big Mark for Kickboxing...Friday Night!
John "Big Sexy" Hurny Vs Xavier "Sagat" Vigney
This Friday Night, Doubletree Hotel, Sacramento, California, USA!

IKF Officials and promoters will be proud of either fighter that walks out with the Title.
Both men are models for the sport!

Vigney's Second, Current IKF California Champion Xavier Vigney
Davis and Vigney's trainer Dan Black with thumbs up.


Excitement continues to rise as one of the most intriguing matches in kickboxing comes to a close and starts a new chapter for the IKF Super Heavyweight division this Friday Night in Sacramento, CA at the Doubletree Hotel. John "Big Sexy" Hurny of San Jose, CA knows that Xavier Vigney of Pleasant Hill, CA wants revenge from an earlier loss to Hurny and wants that beautiful Championship Belt! Hurny knows beyond a doubt that Vigney is an improved fighter that's hungry to prove that his 6'7" plus frame is more than just a tall object moving forward! Vigney and Hurny are going to the well inviting all of their friends and family to come out and witness what will for sure be one of the most exciting matches in years!

For one reason...Hurny always makes his fights exciting because he is always going for the knockout and has the boxing skills and the kicking ability to do just that! Vigney knows of Hurny's knockout power in both feet and hands as he was stopped by a Hurny's overhand right and witnessed Hurny essentially KO Manny Mancha with a head kick! Now the other reason why this will be a great matchup is because, you can see it and feel it in Vigney just by standing near him. He almost does a silent scream of unspoken confidence just being in the same room with Hurny. He's a gentle giant on the outside of the ring but a skilled technician inside the ropes utilizing sharp kickboxing combinations to breakdown his foe!

This is a bout for those of you who are fans of the standup game, contact kicks, boxing, and knees being thrown with deliberate intent to get the other guy out of there...
That you can't miss!

Plus, AK Promotions will have an exciting undercard of up and coming fighters in the State of California that will be trying to step up to the next level and show why they too could be the next great champion. Men, Women and a really interesting junior bout will round off an exciting evening of IKF Championship Fights that will leave everyone astonished to how great Kickboxing athletes are!

IKF California Light Middleweight Champion Ed Abasolo (4-0) of Vallejo, California will step it up a notch and face Nick Balestra (7-4, AMMA: 5-2, AB: 1-1) of Sacramento, California, USA for the vacant IKF Full Muay Thai Rules West Coast Light Middleweight Title. Abasolo was scheduled to meet up with Eric Faria of Dublin, California until Faria had to pull out of the fight this week due to some personal issues. Balestra is hungry to get back on the winning track. He let a great opportunity slip away last month in San Francisco when he lost a close decision to Kevin Arceo of San Francisco, California, USA (10-2) in a battle for the vacant IKF Full Rules Muay Thai United States Welterweight Title. Arceo defeated Balestra by unanimous decision, 48-47 on all 3 judges cards.

Hurny and Vigney will a set the stage for future Super Heavyweight fights! These two big men with their top skills and stature of true champions will draw the line in the sand this weekend with the winner calling out fighters from abroad to step up and dare to take their title! Both men are coming off two big wins by KO and deserve what this fight will earn them...Respect! Whomever wins...will be deserving and ready to take on the world!

Invite your family and friends to this first class event! Enjoy great fights and excellent alcoholic beverage while in a Las Vegas fight night ambiance! Get your tickets now to one of the hottest shows on the planet!
Don't just wait to hear about the action that will render everyone in awe on Friday night,
BE THERE!

IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing…
Ready For The
2011 IKF World Classic!

Summer has arrived and so has the time to get registered for the 2011 IKF World Kickboxing Classic (July 15th, 16th and 17th - Orlando, Florida, USA). This event is one of the most prestigious events for Amateur Kickboxing and Muay Thai in the world! Those who are "In the know" - know that this event is one that should not be missed especially by those serious about their future as well as adding the words of IKF World Classic Champion to their resume.

The ever-growing IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing Division has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past two years at the World Classic. This year, several gyms are promising to bring out as many fighters as possible that will only make the tournament even better! As usual, we expect an even bigger group to enter for later registration this year, which is as late as Saturday, July 16th at 12:Noon.

The competition will start at 6:PM to be the evening entertainment on July 16th for the World Classic. Men, Women and Children as young as 5 years and as old as "dirt" can compete, as long as there is someone in their division to fight. The action will be hot but of course as always, the semi contact rule is in full affect as there are NO KNOCKOUTS ALLOWED in IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing.

There will be divisions in IKF/Point Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. However, sometimes we have to mix and match to assure everyone coming gets a fair fight. All those who are planning to bring their fighters really need to know the difference in this competition and what will be going on in the main arena. The semi contact rules must be paramount. However, in saying this, we encourage you to use your speed instead of power and focus on the points and you will have a great time at this event! Moreover, BE IN SHAPE, the 2 – 2 minute rounds with 1 round of OT is in affect for this event. We will modify it for the little guys, but be in shape and ready to rock as these rounds seem a lot longer than it sounds on paper.

Just as last years event, the World Classic will be held at the Largest Marriott in the world in Orlando, Florida.
The Orlando World Center Marriott Resort

This beautiful location is one that stands out and the luxury rooms and exciting scenery with Disney World just a stone throw away, makes it a great location for such an event.
Heck, planning your family's vacation around the tourney at this wonderful location is not a bad idea!

In addition to semi contact, The IKF World Classic will again have the best divisions of Full Contact bouts with divisions in Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. A minimum of over 200 fighters will travel afar to prove one thing…they are the best! Sorry, NO Novice Divisions here. Only "THE BEST" will compete and Only The BEST will Win an IKF World Classic Belt!

Some will come with an illusion of greatness and others will come with a vision for victory but either way, their destiny will need to be decided in the ring! When you get a ton of fighters, trainers and pumped up fans in one room hungry for a fight and hungry for a win…its going to be a lot of fireworks going off even if the 4th of July has past! We look forward to seeing your there! Remember, Register Early and Save! Forward March!

Results From Billy O' Sullivan's
"IKF Fight Night"
June 11th 2011 - Dungarvan, Ireland


The IKF Full Contact Kickboxing event in Lawlors Hotel, Dungarvan on 11 June promoted by Billy o Sullivan and Vinny O' Brien was a great nights entertainment for the local fight fans as most of them had never seen Full Contact Kickboxing before and many ringsiders were quoted as saying "Whens the next one?!".

The show had junior fighters and novices climbing into the ring for the first time as well as All Ireland & International Champions. It even had a White Collar Boxing match thrown in for good measure. One of the stars of the night was of course Waterfords Dylan Moran who won by knockout in spectacular fashion with a well placed body shot. Moran will fight for the recently vacated IKF Junior, 60kg All Ireland Title at the end of October. Billy and Vinny would like to thank all the fighters, officials, sponsors, Lawlors Hotel management & staff, Dr Maura Grummell and the medics on duty, the IKF and indeed anyone who helped make the show a success. Billy extends his complements on a job well done to new referees Patrick Ryan from Tipperary Town and Catherine Cullinan from Galway who is currently Irelands only female Full Contact referee. The next IKF promotion for Billy O Sullivan and his crew will take place on 10, July in the Strand Theatre, Carrick An Siur.

FIREWORKS!
Hurny & Vigney Will Explode!
Hurny defends IKF United States Super Heavyweight Title
IKF Muay Thai Kickboxing Championship - Friday July 1st, 2011- Doubletree Hotel, Sacramento, CA, USA


The scene is now set for a great Super Heavyweight battle and rematch between John "Big Sexy" Hurny (Left) of San Jose, CA and Xavier "Sagat" Vigney ( Right ) of Pleasant Hill, CA. These two are no strangers to each other and both know that this will be a tough and exciting match-up scheduled for Friday night July 1st at the Doubletree Hotel in Sacramento, CA.

A.K. Promotions plans are now coming to fruition as the stage was established months before… starting with a four-man tournament in a K-1 style match-up. Four Top contenders pulled names of whom they would fight at weigh-ins on the same morning of the event. The winners of their matches would then fight for IKF United States Super Heavyweight Title (215 lbs +) but the tournament will not be complete until it goes full circle to establish a solid United States Champion.

This is how it went down.
Hurny and Vigney were matched that evening while Manny "Macho Man" Mancha of Elk Grove, CA and Hugo Domingo of Patterson, CA were set to do battle. The results started an exciting Super Heavyweight Tournament that would have rivaled a K1 event with great action-packed fights! After being bombarded by Vigney's punches and hard kicks, Hurny was able to land the perfect overhand right on the chin and sent the 6'7" specimen to the canvas for the count. (Pictured at Right) Later that evening, Manny Mancha, took out Hugo Dominguez in the first round with a devastating head kick.

On the next card the two winners were matched, as were the two losers in their first matches. Hurny would now fight Mancha for the IKF Super Heavyweight Championship in what was one of the best Super Heavyweight wars seen in these parts in a while…toe to toe action with both men giving and taking great shots! It was only at 1:44 seconds of the 3rd round that Hurny, looking very winded …muscled up another perfectly timed round kick to the head of Mancha (L)…putting him down for an eight count. When the bout resumed, Hurny was all over the non- responsive Mancha prompting Referee Dan Stell to stop the bout! The crowd was standing for almost the entire bout…Exciting!

Next, the two on the losing end of their first fights met…Vigney vs Dominguez.
Vigney looked very impressive in his win over Dominguez landing solid combinations all night. While Dominguez was determined, Vigney seem to dominate the bout. On the following card, Vigney vs Mancha were matched to decide who would get one more chance at the newly crowned champ Hurny. This bout would take place on April 30th at the beautiful Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln, CA in front of a packed house of eager fans. Vigney looked great…in shape and used his reach like a pro. All night long, he pounded and pounded the spirited Mancha until the referee finally stopped the destruction. To put it simply, Vigney looked awesome! It was clear that Vigney was putting Hurny who was in the audience on notice!

Now, this brings us to the finale. Hurny / Vigney #2!
Hurny will need to prove to everyone that the perfect overhand right he landed on Vigney in their first meeting was not just luck but skill. "Big Sexy" Hurny will need to be in the best shape of his life for this battle. Although Vigney is 6'7", he pretty much carries a six pack (not of beer either) and seems to be getting more confident in his abilities. After winning the IKF California Title over Mancha and looking so great doing it, all one can say is 'Big Sexy' will need to be more than sexy on July 1st in Sacramento! Just one word for this match-up…Fireworks!

Although the Vigney vs Hurny #2 fight will conclude the tournament, it will not be the end for either of these fighters. The winner and champ will be looking for challengers across the United States and abroad. Super Heavyweights (215+lbs) amateurs with proven records and who are interested in fighting the winner in the future, please submit your information to johnnyd@akpromotions.org as well as the IKF at main@ikfkickboxing.com

The July 1st card will have other exciting champions and matches as well. IKF California Middleweight Champion Ed Abasolo (Above) of Vallejo, CA looked very impressive in his last fight against tough Brooks Hurd of Dublin, CA. Abasolo controlled most of the fight until he was able to land a perfectly thrown right elbow strike to the forehead of Hurd and opened a huge cut that ended the fight. Abasolo seemed to have put fear in several opponents with his performance in his bout against Hurd and several opponents have decided to side step offers.

The thing about Abasolo is that he carries himself like a champion, well respected by his peers, poised and experienced beyond his actual years in the game. His opponent is being finalized at press time but we are pretty sure whomever he fights, it will be an exciting fight as he seeks to continue his climb to the top of the division.

With approximately 15 fights scheduled on the card consisting of athletes from across the State of California, the night is sure to be filled with fireworks set off by feet, fists, elbows and knees of fury!

Two juniors fighters both 15 years old, Roman Nava (L) of San Leandro, CA who is trained by Ivan Ramos and says "his fighter is the next great champion and is disciplined and ready to take on all challengers". Nava will meet Mickey Davis (R) of Brentwood, CA who trains out of the famous Gracie Team of Brentwood, CA. Stephanie Gracie commented "Mickey is a mentor to his siblings, teammates of all ages inside and outside the ring. He takes training seriously with tremendous dedication and respect. He has a fighter's heart!"

Both youngsters have plenty of smoker type and undocumented fight experience and each have been practicing for well over 5 years. Due to the State of California not allowing juniors to fight in full contact bouts, fighters like these would go undiscovered. However, it was only a year and a half that the State allowed juniors to compete in full contact action. Since the State's change in position, more juniors have gotten the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of thousands of fans consisting of family and friends who come out in droves to watch them compete. Don't miss the next exciting event! It will be an evening full of thrilling fights that will please all in attendance!

IKF Pro Modified MTR/K1 European Super Welterweight Title
Leandro Scarpulla (Torino, Italy, 20-4-2, 69kg, 5'11", 01-03-91, Luca Ferrando 0044 320 1134926)
VS
Ric Barnhill (Knutsford, England, 21-6-1, 69.5kg, 06-09-80, Supergym / Kevin Harper 0044 787 2039401)

In front of a massive crowd at Bolton's Reebok Stadium, this eagerly awaited contest was always going to be about the low kicks with both men favoring this technique. And so it proved, but much sooner than anticipated. From the 1st bell both men traded punches to try and establish the dominant position and it was clear that an early night was on the agenda. With no quarter given, both men took strong punches and kicks until Barnhill delivered an absolutely perfect right low kick that left Scarpulla in agony. He took the 8 count and attempted to put weight on the leg but he was clearly in distress and the contest was stopped at 1:37 in favor of the new IKF champion Ric Barnhill.
Winner: Ric Barnhill by TKO at 1:37 of round 1.

    Southern Area Super Middleweight Title
    Carl Mallinson (Spartans, Chippenham, England, 5-2-1, 78.1kg,6'1", 05-14-89, Malcolm Martin Tel 0044- 793279767)
    VS Darren Trustram (Britannia kick, Cheshum, England, 6-3, 77.8 kg, 6'0", 11-24-77, Nick Morrish 07813877967)
    Winner: Carl Mallinson by corner retirement R1
    A potentially excellent contest that never really got going. Equally matched in both style and size it was clear from the outset that Trustram had come to upset the rhythm of Mallinson and in the first round that is exactly what he did. Trustram looked more comfortable as he piled on the pressure but you had to believe that someone like Mallinson would work that out as the contest progressed. As it was Trustram was forced to retire on his stool after one round with what turned out to be a badly broken hand. This is not the way Carl Mallinson wanted to capture the belt and you can be sure that these two will square off again in due course.

IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing…
Ready For The 2011 IKF World Classic!
Orlando, Florida, USA

Summer has arrived and so has the time to get registered for the 2011 IKF World Kickboxing Classic (July 15th, 16th and 17th) in Orlando, Florida, USA! This event is one of the most prestigious events for amateur kickboxing in the world! Those who are in the know- know that this event is one that should not be missed especially by those serious about their future as well as adding the words of IKF World Classic Champion to their resume.

The ever-growing IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing Division has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past two years at the World Classic. This year, several gyms are promising to bring out as many fighters as possible that will only make the tournament even better! As usual, we expect an even bigger group to enter for later registration this year, which is as late as Saturday, July 16th at 12:Noon. The competition will start at 6:PM to be the evening entertainment on July 16th for the World Classic.

Men, Women and Children as young as 5 years can compete, as long as there is someone in their division to fight. The action will be hot but of course as always, the semi contact rule is in full affect as there are NO KNOCKOUTS ALLOWED. There will be divisions in IKF/Point Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. However, sometimes we have to mix and match to assure everyone coming gets a fair fight.

Everyone planning to bring their fighters really needs to know the difference in this competition and what will be going on in the main arena. The semi contact rules must be paramount. However, in saying this, we encourage you to use your speed instead of power and focus on the points and you will have a great time at this event! Moreover, BE IN SHAPE, the 2 – 2 minute with 1 round of OT is in affect for this event. We will modify it for the little guys, but be in shape and ready to rock as these rounds seem a lot longer than it sounds on paper!

Just as last year's event, the World Classic will be held at the largest Marriott in the world in Orlando, Florida. This beautiful location is one that stands out and the luxury rooms and exciting scenery with Disney World just a stones throw away, makes it's a great location for such an event. Heck, planning your family's vacation around the tourney at this wonderful location is not a bad idea!

In addition to semi contact, The IKF World Classic will again have the best divisions of Full contact bouts with divisions in Muay Thai, International Hi Kick and International Low Kick styles. Over 300 fighters will travel afar to prove one thing…they are the Best! Some will come with an illusion of greatness and others will come with a vision for victory but either way, their destiny will need to be decided in the ring! When you get a ton of fighters, trainers and pumped up fans in one room hungry for a fight and hungry for a win…its going to be a lot of fireworks going off even if the 4th of July has past!

We look forward to seeing your there! Remember, Register Early and Save! Forward March! More information on IKF Point Muay Thai / Kickboxing, Contact Johnny Davis at johnnyd@akpromotions.org or at (916) 205-4762 - (916) 630-9254. For more go to www.ikfpkb.com
