James Cornick & Steven Cook produced the fight of the night under Kickboxing rules in a classic show of style, footwork, power and defence.

It was the hardest contest to judge as you had the stronger, more effective Cornick hunting his man down from the opening bell, whilst Cook fought out of his skin on the counter. Each time Cornick punched, Cook returned with two punches and a kick, less effective but eye catching all the same.

Ask anyone in the audience how they had the contest after 3 rounds and each had a conflicting view and by the 4^th both fighters stepped up a gear, making the contest even more exciting.

Knowing it was close each came out to win in the 6^th and final round and there was no break in the action from start to finish. At the final bell a split decision in favour of Steven Cook was announced.

Cook moves into contention for the IKF European title whilst Cornick fulfils an obligation to challenge for the ISKA British title in October.

Mark Allen (Team Bulldog) came under early fire from James Mullady (House of Pain) in their K1 contest, but he was having none of it!

Mullady was relentless with kicks, punches and flying knees and several times his slid passed Allens chin, missing it by only a whisker!

A torrid first two minutes gave way to a better 2^nd part of the round for Allen as Mullady became ragged, allowing the Bulldog fighter to connect with damaging shots.

In the 2^nd Allen worked behind a front kick and followed through with strong punches and low kicks to take control of the contest. But a tired Mullady was still dangerous until a huge mid section kick across the front of the body almost broke him in half and sent him to the canvas.

There was no getting up from a shot like that and he was counted out at 2.30 of the 2^nd round.

After being blasted out in a round on the last Absolute Adrenaline Mark Allen has truly redeemed himself and is back in contention!

Team Bulldog’s Andy Bray made a winning start to his White Collar Boxing career with a solid win over Sam Phillips (Spartans Gym).

The key to his performance was a strong jab that he just couldn’t miss with, and when he gained the confidence to follow through with the right hand there was no stopping him.

Following two clear rounds to Bray, Phillips knew that he had to find a KO to snatch the contest and this made the 3^rd round more competitive as he ignored the punches coming at him to deliver a few of his own.

But it was too little, too late and Andy Bray ran away with a clear points victory!

Jake Kneale (Team Bulldog) chalked up his second White Collar Boxing win with cleverly fought contest against Ed Smith (Star Kickboxing).

Smith had far more experience and looked comfortable for the first minute or so, But once Kneale closed him down and began to unload, things changed and Smith was on the back foot.

As the contest progressed Kneale to an even bigger stranglehold on the contest with his variety and aggression, and it wasn’t until the final round that Smith woke up and looked for a stoppage.

But this was never going to happen and Kneale came away with his 2^nd victory.

Marco Valvo (Team Bulldog) had a blistering start in his White Collar bout against crowd favourite Simon Whiting (Dorset Kick).

Valvo looked unusually heavy handed and pulled an early right hand out of nowhere, sending Whiting crashing to the canvas for a count. He made it up at 8 and threw himself back into the fight but it was clear that his head was not yet clear.

In the second round Valvo seemed to coast rather than finish the job and on one scorecard at least, he seemed to give the round away.

The same thing happenned in the 3^rd and it needed a concerted effort from the ‘in control’ Valvo to make sure of victory.

You couldn’t help thinking that there was a stoppage victory there if Valvo had pressed the fight once he was on top.

However, victory was still his and he now moves on to December’s event!

Lee Stubbs (Team Bulldog) moved to 3-0 as he out punched Kamil Fermanski (All or Nothing) under White Collar Boxing rules.

Stubbs found his groove early and was too strong for the Bridgwater fighter, who quickly reverted to a stick and move tactic. This suited Stubbs who simply backed his man up and dropped bombs until he was able to get out of range.

Stubbs looked to have improved his speed greatly and his head movement also, but the most impressive part was his power.

There was a shout for Kerminski in the 3^rd round but al in all it was a shut out victory for the Team Bulldog fighter, who remains unbeaten!

The much anticipated Craig Jones (Team Bulldog) V Paul Williams (NRG) rematch did not disappoint. This time both men were making their Kickboxing debut. With Williams taking their first contest under White Collar Boxing rules, there was no hiding place. Each man knew that this would be a trade off from the first to the final bell.

And so it was. Both men settled nicely into kicking. Jones was the better boxer but did not get it all his own way as Williams met him punch for punch.

Following a close 1^st round, Jones stepped up to dominate the 2^nd with great clusters of punches followed by kicks. Williams met him in the middle and stayed there but Jones was now on top.

However, he was unable to capitalise on this in the final round as Williams came roaring back to even the contest out.

With the 2^nd round clearly to Jones it was all about the 1^st and 3^rd on the scorecards.

The judges were unable to separate them and the decision was a draw.

Jake Gosling (Steve Bendall Boxing) looked good, if a little nervous in his debut bout against James Lawrence (Spartans Gym) under White collar rules.

Both men were of similar age and stature but it was Gosling who was a little stronger across the contest.

The judges found this one difficult to score with the only clear round being the 2^nd in Goslings favour. They were split on the 1^st and 3^rd and you couldn’t have argued with that.

It was Gosling, however that looked as though he wanted it the most and there were no complaints when he was awarded a split decision at the final bell.
