Friday 22nd of May. Armed with my beloved
Canon, along with a trusty faber castell and a notepad, I was off to see
Sydney’s (if not Australia’s) biggest mma show, the Cage Fighting
Championships # 8 held at the iconic Luna Park. As I was getting last minute
instructions from event organizers I couldn’t help but think back to one of
my conversations with a fellow fight fan.

Ancient Battle - Fight Review
Views: 25700ADD COMMENT 9 years ago
A first time Kun Khmer event was
held at Cabravale Diggers and once again we were in your corner to give you a
full review. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this event so the best
I could offer it is an open mind and a willingness to learn from this new
experience. Before we get to the review, you may be asking yourself: what is Kun
Khmer? I sought out the promoter to explain this to me as I myself wasn’t
sure. He sat me down and in a very brief explanation pointed out that the Kun
Khmer originated from Cambodia that was used in warfare many years ago and is
the origin of muay thai as we know it today. To further explain, while The Thai
Kingdom was under Cambodian rule, the Thai people adopted this martial art as
their own and labeled it as Muay Thai. This has now evolved to the modern day
muay thai as the world know it at this present time. So, now with the history
lesson out of the way we can continue with our review. The night was and
international affair with our national pride on the line.

Fight Review- Ryan Waters Fight Night
Views: 22300ADD COMMENT 9 years ago
You can always bet for a capacity crowd at
Sharks Leagues Club. The venue was packed to the rafters early in the night. If
your plan was to have a boys night out and sink a couple of tinnies then this
was the place to be. Only problem is that you might've waited in the queue a
little longer than usual, as it seemed to be a thirsty night for the punters.
The night started out with 4 amateur fights, an impressive display of young
talent which re-assures us boxing fans that amateur boxing is alive and well.
The highlight of the amateurs would have been the fight between 2 lads from the
local footy clubs – Tony (Sugar) Ray Vs Hayden Garn. These boys almost
brought the house down. A fight worthy of a main event. As the boys slugged it
out for bragging rights the crowd was thoroughly entertained with some big blows
and a show of great endurance. It was a hard fight to judge and it could have
only gone one way… and that of course is a draw.
