Event report
ISKA Championship Kickboxing at the Circus Tavern
Another great night of full contact action promoted by Kickin promotions, including Title fights and a very emotional main event between the pride of Aveley Jason Vassallo and Aaron Robinson. This fight was in honour of Lance Corporal Nicky Mason of the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment who was killed in an explosion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan on the 13th of September 2008. Nicky from Aveley, Essex and lifelong friend of Jason was also a keen Martial artist. He was remembered on the night with a minute silence followed by a minute clapping in what I can only describe as a feeling of its proud to be British, soldiers from his regiment collected over £1400.00 on the night for the Parachute regiment central funds.
The main event was a prestige contest over 7x2 rounds between Jason Vassallo (Aveley KB) and Aaron Robinson (Lincoln KB). The ring entrance for Vassallo was emotional and with Robinson already in the ring Vassallo entered with most of Nicky Mason’s parachute regiment a proud moment for all attending. First round was a close one with good skills from both fighters and use of the ring. Round two saw good kick punch combinations from both fighters and at a good even pace. More of the same in the third. Vassallo stepped up the pressure in the fourth forcing Robinson back with good boxing and landing heavy looking shots, a very good round for Vassallo. He kept the pressure on in the fifth another strong round for Vassallo forcing the pace and landing quality shots to the body and head and dropping Robinson late in the round with a right hook to the body. Vassallo came out a fast and hard in the sixth with good kick punch combinations and half way through the round forced a stoppage with heavy body and head shots. Classy performance and winner by TKO Jason Vassallo.
The semi-main event featured the long awaited match between Ollie Green (Aveley KB) and Mo Kargbo (Mu Gen Do). Green was defending his ISKA British Cruiserweight title scheduled for seven rounds. Both men got straight down to business trading powerful kicks the opening rounds were fairly even. Midway through the third round Karbo fired a left right punch combination connecting cleanly, Green drooped to the canvas unable to best the count, a KO victory for the new ISKA British Cruiserweight Champion Mo Kargbo.
The Ladies ISKA British Lightweight Title was contested between Anna Otterwell (Spartans) and Bonnie Webb (Wiffen Academy) both girls showed great skill determination and stamina in a worthy Championship match the went the full seven rounds and was a great advert for women’s Kickboxing. Otterwell won by majority decision.
ISKA English Lightweight Title defence between the Champion Richard Hines, (Aveley KB) and the challenger Mick Dunford (Scorpions) was a competitive clash the fits three round were full of Sharpe exchanges. Hines stepped up a gear in the fourth landing the more clean and telling blows with both hands and feet. Hines dictated the pace of the fifth and final round to retain his title with a unanimous decision.
ISKA Southern Area Super Middleweight Title was contested between Reece Rowell (Aveley KB) and Will Wright (Lincoln KB). A solid five round contest with some blistering exchanges. Wright didn’t kick enough in the early rounds Rowell took advantage racking up the points to win a unanimous decision.
In the supporting bouts there was a cracking fight to start the show with between Jay Streeton (Pro-Am) and Jim Longley, (Wiffen Academy). Both men made an impressive debut, Streeton took the decision.
In a Super-heavyweight contest Michael Mann (Warriors Kings Lynn) stopped Rob Storey (Modka) with a heavy right hand near the end of the first round. Chris Hughes (Aveley KB) and Glen Julian (Scorpions) were even going in to the third and final round of their match Hughes landed a straight right scoring a knockdown to confirm a point victory. Glenn Coleman (Scorpions) defeated Wayne Barford (Modka) by unanimous decision. Pavel Barcikowski (Wiffen Academy) force a standing count in the first round of his match with Jason Whitmore (Aveley KB) who fought back hard in the following two rounds, but Barcikowski prevailed taking the points decision. Danny Ellie (Aveley KB) stopped Sam Kavanagh (Scorpions) with a heavy punching combination in the second round. In the first of two ISKA Oriental Rules matches Darren Holden (Aveley KB) defeated Dan Theobald (Benfleet Thai) by unanimous decision and Vinny Helwig (Nak Soo) fought to a draw with and Ross Gatrell (Benfleet Thai)
