Results From Black Dragons Kickboxing Club & Sally Longs'
"FISTS OF FURY"
September 22nd, 2012 - Galway, Ireland









Dan Black Belt Master Gordon Mc Kenna
was presented with a plaque for a lifetimes dedication
to the martial arts by 7th Dan Black Belt Master Pete Foley.



The Black Box Theatre was literally kicking with asthenosphere this past Saturday night! It was high octane, non stop action all the way when the "Fist Of Fury" Kickboxing & K-1 promotion got underway. As far as Kickboxing shows goes, this has to rank up there with the best of them. All the fighters who travelled from various parts of the country, as far away as France, and of course the home fighters, gave it everything. There was eleven electrifying bouts on the card including four IKF All Ireland Titles and an International K-1 Superfight and a good mix of experienced campaigners and debut fighters, there was knockouts, distance fights, titles changing hands, new champions crowned etc. and all in all, a great night for the exciting sport of Kickboxing.

The main event between Galways Bryan Merrigan and Michael Gerard from France ended early. The Frenchman caught Merrigan with a vicious right hook to the jaw in round one and the referee called the fight off.

The Galway Black Dragon Club took home three National Titles and their sister club, the Donegal Black Dragon Club also won a National Title.

Amy Wilson (formerly of Galway Black Dragon) from the Donegal Club fought Gillian Duffy from Global Kickboxing in Dublin. Wilson won a unanimous points victory to claim the IKF Ladies All Ireland Light Welterweight Crown.

Shane Creaven from the Galway Black Dragon Club and sponsored by Lydons Bar of Knockdoe took on Keith Shelly who also fights out of the well respected Global Kickboxing Gym in Dublin. This was the pairs second time to meet and Creaven made it two out of two. After a hard fought battle over five rounds with the teak tough Shelly, Creaven took home the vacant IKF All Ireland Light Heavyweight Title.

Paul "Hurricane" Huish was all business when he went to the ring to take on the current IKF All Ireland Welterweight Champion Evan Walker who fights out of Jimmy Courtneys Gym in Dublin. Walker, who has a "fight all comers" attitude came to the ring looking trim and fit... Not to mention he was a good four inches taller than Huish. However true to his name, the Hurricane blew in and gave a master class of text book kickboxing to rip the title from the plucky Dublin fighter.

Although Walker boxed really well, Huish landed kick after kick to his lead leg as well as several high kicks to the head. He even threw a spectacular spinning backfist that, if it landed on the button, would have surely finished the contest. The fight went the championship distance and Huish became Galways next All Ireland IKF Champion.

Charlie "The Iceman" Ward was the last title fight of the night. He took on Dublins Eric Nolan for the recently vacated IKF All Ireland Super Welterweight Crown. This was always going to be a cracker of a fight as both young men have been very busy on the International circuit lately. Nolan has been over and back to the UK for some big fights and Ward having won a silver medal at the IKF World Classic in Florida this past July.

Right from the bell to sound the opening round, both warriors went at it hammer and tongs! This was the action all the way until round four when Ward landed a mighty uppercut which had the Brave Nolan out on his feet. He quickly followed up with a picture perfect right hook to seal the deal giving Ward the Title by Knockout. The roof almost came off the Black Box such was the roars from the fired up fight fans and a new superstar was born.

IKF Point Muay Thai Kickboxing...
The Incubator for Future Champions!
Steve Fossum, IKF President




It happens every year...
A fighter who started his way in "Semi-Contact" IKF Point Kickboxing
goes on to win the IKF World Classic Tournament...

However, here's someone who not only won the 2012 IKF World Classic but last November, 2011, he took home the title at the 2011 IKF West Coast Classic!

Trevor Jones (Right) of Modesto, California, USA entered the West Coast Classic having NEVER competed in a Full Contact style event. His only experience was in IKF Point Kickboxing. In the opening round of the tournament on Saturday, Trevor defeated George Hofstetter of San Leandro, California, USA by unanimous decision, 30-27 on all 3 judges cards.

On Championship Sunday, he went on to defeated Samuel Decker of Mesa, Arizona, USA by unanimous decision, 29-28, 29-28 & 30-27 to take home the 2011 IKF West Coast Classic, Junior Boys Open Lightweight (76 Lbs. - 80 Lbs.) Muay Thai Rules Title for ages 11-12.

Excited over this title, Trevor went forward with an even bigger challenge. He entered the 2012 IKF World Classic this past July in Orlando, Florida. On Championship Sunday, he defeated Kaden Marlin of Arlington, Virginia by unanimous decision, 25-30, 30-25 and 30-26 to win the 2012 IKF World Classic Junior Boys Junior Middleweight (80 Lbs. - 84 Lbs.) International Rules Title for ages 11-12.

Jones now has two IKF Belts to be proud of, as well as set an example for other PKB Fighters to follow. While others around Trevor "Think" about being a Champion, Trevor not only "Talked The Talk", but he "Walked The Walk" not just once, but TWICE!

Congratulations to Trevor and his trainers, Miguel Duran (2011 WCC) and Bill Theofanopoulos (2012 WC). Winning an IKF Open Tournament title is something many fighters only dream of. However Trevor did it not once, but TWICE within a year having NEVER competed in any style of full contact fight sports!

Congratulations to IKF Point Kickboxing founder and President Johnny Davis!
Without his vision, passion and desire to help fighters of all ages take that first step into the world of full contact kickboxing, fighters like Trevor would not be wearing two IKF Gold Belts around his body!

RIGHT: Jones with all of his awards including the
IKF West Coast Championship Belt he won in November 2011 (Top Belt)
and his 2012 IKF World Classic Belt (Around his waist)

Remembering 9-11...Never Forget!

From the Song, "WHERE WERE YOU" by Alan Jackson
CLICK HERE...

Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters
I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Or driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Or speak to some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

Results From Golden Cobra Center of Fitness's
"Triple Title Tornado"
September 8th, 2012 - Prescott Valley, Arizona, USA




Toyota Center Tornados Tamed



Last Saturday night, Galpin Ford along with Golden Cobra Center of Fitness Inc., presented Triple Title Tornadoes IKF Muay Thai Kickboxing Championships. This event was the first ever kickboxing event held in the Prescott area. The event headlined the three Vaughan brothers from Prescott and the two Mestas brothers from the Verde Valley, all of which are from Golden Cobra Center of Fitness Inc. in Cottonwood, Arizona. Two more sets of brothers competed from Albuquerque, New Mexico; the Vasquez and Ring brothers.

The fight card consisted of seven Muay Thai and Kickboxing bouts. Two of those seven fights were IKF South Mountain Regional Title Fights. Saxon Vaughan and his twin brother Talon Vaughan were the Main and Semi-Main event of the evening. Their older brother Dakota Vaughan was also on the card. All three attend Prescott High school where they excel in sports (wrestling) & academics (Honor Roll). Now they can add two IKF Regional Titles to their accomplishments.

It wasn't easy finding themselves straight in the middle of the Triple Title Tornados. Heading in their paths were two Tornados coming from Albuquerque, New Mexico. For the Semi-Main event, Slade Ring, 16 years old and 114 lbs. with a 6-3 record from Mean One MMA, took on Saxon Vaughan, 15 years old, 115 lbs. with a 2-2 record from Golden Cobra Center of Fitness. They competed for the vacant IKF South Mountain Regional Flyweight (IR) Title. Jordan Vasquez, 17 years old, 142lbs with a 38-2 record from Mean One MMA took on Talon Vaughan, 15 years old, 142lbs with a 2-0 record from Golden Cobra.

The third Title on the card was vacated. We were unable to find a contending fighter for Jesse "The Beast" Duran. By the end of the night, we can all say that the Vaughan Brothers weathered the storm and tamed the tornados they faced in the ring last Saturday night at Tim's Toyota Center by becoming the two new IKF South Mountain Regional Champions.

Tough To The End
Remembering Martial Arts Legend
Joe Lewis...
Through His Toughness And Dignity.
March 7th, 1944 - August 31st, 2012

As many here already know by now, Martial Arts legend Joe Lewis
was diagnosed with brain cancer on July 15th, 2012 and underwent surgery on July 18th, 2012.
Sadly, he passed away at 10:45 AM on Friday, August 31st, 2012,
surrounded by family and friends. He was 68 years old.

We have been working on our own Joe Lewis web page all week long. Accumulating photos of him, his friends, his accomplishments along with accumulating video links and other material. We do have an article planned about him, but we will be posting it next week. For now, feel free to check out the special web pages we have created for him. You can get to home main page by clicking
HERE
or from his link on our
"WHERE ARE THEY NOW"
page under
GODS CHAMPIONS.

If you have a photo of Joe you would like us to post on any of the photo pages, just e-mail it to us at main@ikfkickboxing.com

Here is something we thought we would share with you that was written on the day of his passing by another Martial Arts great, Joe Corley;
"I've thought about this all day....tearfully at times...about an era that has meant so much to so many of us...speaheaded by Joe Lewis, Jeff W. Smith and Bill Wallace. Also there was Howard Jackson...and more....and tonight there is a party in the heavens as our friends Howard Jackson, Jay T. Will, Demetrius Havanas, Ed Parker, Elvis Presley and so many others are welcoming this bigger than life Joe Lewis...who else is at that party tonight?"
