Kombat Zone – 2 great fights last night, Both great challenges, Both we learnt from and of which one we won.
Callum Helsdown in a very tough, hard fight that 2 be honest could of gone either way and either man would of been happy with that result. I had it as one round apiece and the second round a draw, others had Callum on top “just”. Callum weighed in at 57kg and his opponent came in at over 61kg. BUT no arguments at all! The better man won on the night. For me this was Callum’s hardest and BEST fight to-date, I’m very proud of his performance last night, as always I know he will be back in the gym this evening ready for more hard work.
Callum’s opponent come up to us in the changing rooms, (really nice lad) and said after the bout “that’s the hardest fight he’s ever had” Which is something as he’s had over 20 fights. Both very respectful and talented lads. I’m sure they will meet again. (Well done to Sean for great work with his man)
Next up was George French in his boxing debut against another local Hastings lad. Round one George was first class, has adapted really well from kickboxing to boxing, setting the pace of the bout and landing some very strong shots. Round 2 George had gassed himself out, allowing his man to come back to even the score, with one round each as we go into the 3rd round. Both men working hard and wanting the win. George once again Landing some incredible shots and kept digging away. A few times we may get the stoppage but every time we landed a good combo there wasn’t quite enough left in the tank to finish and then being caught himself making us reset. At the final bell George takes the win.
I’m very proud of both lads, we learn from every fight, the team grows stronger and stronger at the moment, as we now knuckle down and GET READY for HKA FIGHT NIGHT 10……..
4 weeks and counting.
