"Knock Out Finish!" Business As usual, As The 2007 IKF
World Classic
ROCKS THE HOUSE!
Since the beginning the IKF
has lived and grown by the words of writer Robert Frost,
"Do not follow where the path may lead... Go
instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
There is no greater praise for ones effort than the attempt of
duplication. Since the first IKF Amateur
Championship Tournament in 1999, 7 other kickboxing sanctioning bodies have
started hosting annual amateur kickboxing tournaments. (WKA, USKBA, KICK,
WKKO, WAKO AND TBASA) Their addition has pulled some gyms/camps away from
the Annual IKF Tournament which like
anything being diluted, dropped the number of fighters attending over the last
two years.
Whether the days of 200 plus fighters (2001, 02, 03, 04 & 05)
attending the IKF Tournament are long
gone or only on a brief absence for now, the IKF
continues to bring the most prestigious and most rewarding open amateur
tournament to those willing to truly "Walk the Walk" against
fighters from around the world instead of just a basic region like many of the
other North American hosted tournaments. As for numbers, the IKF World Classic has continued to draw the largest
number of amateur fighters of all the tournaments mainly due to it's reputation
of being the true "Golden Gloves" of Amateur kickboxing.
This year was no different. This years event hosted some of the
greatest fights in Tournament
History and some of the most devastating Knockouts we have ever seen.
There is an old saying Johnny Davis brought up at the end of the day... "A
rough start often results in a Great Finish!" Davis was right.
The rough start was related to what happened less than 5 minutes before the
prepared start time. One of the boxing rings support welds at the corner posts
exploded apart leaving us with only one ring to fight in. With the honest
acceptance of realizing we we may have only one ring for the entire event,
somewhat of a minor miracle happened. The combination of the staff at the Marriott
World Center and some help from Jeff Berch of South Carolina, the
ring was re-welded and back in business in less than 2 hours. From the moment
both rings were going, the event gained steam, shifted into high gear and never
looked back!
Saturday saw the completion of "75" bouts. For the
first time since the first year of the Tournament, we decided to add all the 2
fighter brackets to the end of the Saturday schedule for their Championship
bouts. The decision was a popular one as well as a smart one. Of the scheduled
50 title belts planned to take place, three of the 50 did not happen and instead
earned a fighter in each one a win by forfeit. This decision also aided in the
much desired early completion time of Sunday's Championship Bout schedule (Around
2:00 PM) which earned praised reviews from all the fighters looking to have
time to relax around the hotel or help with an early start on some long drives
home.
In the end, this years event saw 122 bouts take place over the
two days of competition. This of course did not include the IKF Point Kickboxing portion of the Tournament which
was presented as an "Introduction/Exhibition Style" for the
Tournament. In 2008, IKF PKB will be
instated as a full style sanctioning far more tournaments around the world than
the current IKF/PKB
sanctioning schedule.
So much to talk about, so many great fights, but few who saw it
will ever forget the most devastating and quickest spinning backhand we have
ever seen! A Shot performed by John Greubel of Augusta, Georgia, USA on
Rolando Luna of Dalton, Georgia, USA in their Championship bout Sunday.
The result was a KNOCK OUT victory at 38 seconds into the first round
for a title that now stands alone, Greubel's "SIXTH"
IKF Tournament title. This one was for the
Welterweight Full Contact Rules title and gave Greubel a perfect amateur
record of 21-0! His plans now are to start his pro career with the WCL,
World Combat League later this fall. Good luck John.
So many more stories can be told from what will go down in
history as not the Largest Tournament by numbers, but SURLY the BEST
IKF Tournament Ever! A Perfect example of how
QUALITY far overshadows numbers. This will be hard to beat next year, which
makes next years "10 Year Anniversary Event" all the more
exciting to look forward to, and for us here to plan for.
From all this growth at the amateur level, the opportunities
available to the current amateur fight pool will bring the much needed attention
back to the amateurs as well as work to build back the Professional Kickboxing
Rankings. We are excited about the future!

Mauricio Caal, (954) 472-2554) by forfeit. Late Saturday night Rivera's camp
informed the IKF that he had to leave early Sunday for Military duty. The IKF
tried to contact Petkov in the hotel but could not find him because his room was
under someone elses name. Sunday morning the IKF kept announcing for Petkov to
come to the podium to discuss the possibilities of moving the bout up earlier in
the day, but Petkov and his camp never answered the page and could not be found.
Rivera was forced to forfeit his title shot when he had to leave. Finally at
about 12:00 PM Petkov entered the venue and was informed of the situation. It's
too bad that these circumstances played out the way they did for what could have
been a great Championship bout. Petkov was awarded the title by Forfeit.

OVER 300?
- In addition to the Notes Above the following fighters were never listed on
the "Registered Fighters" page:
- Welcoming fighters from mainland Europe has always been a problem due to
things such as Visa requirements to their amateur vs pro status. Many in Europe
are allowed to fight as amateurs and pros and jump back and forth with
sanctioning bodies such as WAKO. Although unethical to the fight world, WAKO's
definition of a "Professional" fighter is different than
anywhere else in the world. The IKF
continues to use the definition of a Professional fighter is one that receives a
financial fight purse for their performance. To Wako, a fighter must make a full
time living as a kickboxer to be called professional. With that definition, we
don't believe there are ANY Professional kickboxers in the entire world... At
least according to Wako. Here are the fight stats of the many fighters who were
not allowed to fight in this years 2007
IKF World Classic Tournament. In all,
if "Numbers and Money" were the only thing the IKF cared about, this years IKF World Classic would have registered almost 300
fighters and had an additional income of over $4,000. With the IKF, "Ethics" and "Fair
Play" weight far more than "Numbers and Money."
- 43 European Fighters were refused registration by the IKF after the IKF
discovered they had fought Professional in Europe. Their fees were all
refunded.
- 28 North American Fighters were refused registration by the IKF after the IKF
discovered they had fought as a Professional fighter in either Kickboxing,
Boxing or mixed Martial Arts.

IKF World Classic Title Belts Go? - Check here and
