Gary Hamilton (N. Ireland) Vs Oscar Lara (Spain) WKN
Full-Contact World title (12x2) WINNER - Gary Hamilton
(5th round KO)
Belfast's Gary Hamilton kept his world title belt in
style- He made a typically showbiz entrance for the
millions watching around the globe, as the Simple Minds
anthem blared in the background, and a pyrotechnics
display shot from the Ulster Hall Stage. But it was
the fireworks Hamilton produced in the ring that will
have especially pleased his ever-growing army of fans.
He started as he meant to go on with a solid left-footed
kick to Lara's midriff, followed with a good roundhouse
kick, and three spinning back kicks, all in the space
of round one. Five powerful roundhouse kicks from Hamilton
got his second round under way, while he was also dodging
most of what the Spaniard was providing. Spurred on
by the crowd, the Ulster fighter looked sharp and focussed.
Another spinning back kick left Lara shattered, although
he rose with a seemingly defiant fist in the air. Round
three seemed to be going a little better for Lara, but
yet another spinning back kick winded him towards the
end. By round four, it was now all about how much longer
the Spanish fighter could withstand Hamilton's explosive
power. A roundhouse to the head sent Lara to the floor,
suggesting the end was in sight. When Hamilton connected
with another superb roundhouse in the following round,
the result was the same. Except this time there was
no coming back for Lara. Hamilton has continued to show
time and again that he has the dedication and ability
to get to the very top in his chosen sport. And it looks
like it will be a long time before anyone will take
this particular belt from this amazing you man.

WKN Lightweight Thai-Boxing World title (5x3) WINNER
- Mohamed Samir (1st round KO)
Anybody hoping for an insight into the unusual and fascinating
world of Muay Thai will have gleaned very little from
this outing. The only Muay Thai bout of the evening
between defending world champion Mohamed Samir of France
and Italy's Chinti Filippo lasted just over a minute,
after Filippo sustained a damaged collarbone as a result
of being hurled to the ground by the world champion.
All at ProKick and Billy Murray Promotions wish him
a very speedy recovery.

Sean
Collier of Wexford, Ireland …showed a great
deal of technical kicking ability, combined
with a demonstration of just how powerful his
punches are too. Collier fought well throughout
against Holland's Gus Bratt, but really came
into his own as the fight went on. In round
three, a smashing left hook floored Bratt for
a count of 8, and in round four he delivered
two excellent spinning back kicks to boot. However,
by the final round it was obvious that one of
the Dutchman's greatest strengths is his ability
to absorb blow after blow. Collier took the
points decision, Bratt can be proud though as
he is the first fighter in three years to have
brought the Irish man the distance. Well done
to Gus Bratt for taking the fight a very short
notice.

Jackie
Mills (Scotland) vs Chantal Nadon (Canada)
WKN Full-Contact International Prestige Bout -
4x2 minute rounds DRAW
Another close fight, with Mills showing some true
Scottish grit against one of the world's truly
great female fighters. Nadon did not appear to
attack as aggressively as she might have done,
and while she possibly threw the more punches
and kicks, it was Mills who was making them count.
As it was, a draw was a reasonable result, but
it is quite possible that if the fight had gone
on for a few more rounds, the Scot may have emerged
victorious. Kickboxing Mania VI was supported
by the Belfast City Council and N.Ireland Events
Company and sponsored the the People Sunday news
Paper, and the Hoilday Inn Belfast. Finally, It
looks like this is only the beginning for TV event
from Belfast as Billy Murray heads out is Paris
this weekend for further talks with the TV giant
Eurosport, stay tuned to www.ProKick.com….

Lex
Easdon (Scotland) Vs Bernard Merche (France)
WKN International Prestige bout (5x2) DRAW
In many ways, possibly the most evenly contested
fight of the night was between undisputed middleweight
world champion Lex Easdon of Scotland and French
Light Heavyweight world champion Bernard Merche.
The opening round set the tone for the rest of
the bout, with very little between them. In round
two, Easton suffered a cut above the left eye
in the second round, and while this can often
be a crucial turning point in such a close fight,
it had little effect on the outcome of this one.
Both were connecting well, and it was proving
very difficult to separate throughout the course
of the fight, and when the final bell arrived
at the end of round five, both were smiling, with
good reason. We hope to see more of Lex Easdon
in Belfast - the undisputed champ from Paisley
in Scotland
