"The
Next Generation"
Park Avenue Hotel
Kickboxing returned to the Park Avenue Hotel with standing room only -
This event was sponsored by the Holiday Inn and supported by the Belfast
City Council. Prokick's
Gary Noade reclaimed the British and European Welterweight titles after
he stopped his old foe Hugh White of Scotland in the third round on Sunday
23rd June at the International Kickboxing event in the Park Avenue Hotel
in Belfast. After two extremely close rounds, the local man unleashed
a blistering right hand left hook combination, which put the champion
on the canvas from which he was counted out by referee Bob Hunter. Noade
fought back well from an early scare which saw White connect with a strong
right hand sending Noade back on his heels. It may well have been a different
story if White had piled the pressure on at that time instead of show
boating, which helped let Noade get back into the fight. He reclaimed
the title's he lost just six weeks ago and was presented with his winning
trophy by his sponsor for this bout, Mr Eddie Fung of the new Red Panda
Chinese Restaurant in the Odyssey arena.

 Belfast's
Tony Millar made it five wins from five when he beat Scotland's Gordon
Law on Sunday. The sixteen year old rising star didn't get the chance
to shine as he has in the past, as Law continually made things difficult.
Tony won on points after two difficult opening rounds against the
much taller Gordon Law. However, he came through strongly in the end
and deserved the decision the points decision. |

 Nick
Baird of Saintfield clocked up his second victory in as many bouts
when he faced Steve Arrowsmith of the Isle of Man. The Natural Health
sponsored bout - saw the Prokick fighter put his opponent under constant
pressure right after a strong start from his opponent. Yet another
good looking prospect for the future as the Saintfield was just a
little to strong in the closing round - with the local man firmly
in control and take the bout . All credit to Steve Arrowsmith who
went ahead with the bout despite suffering problems with his wisdom
teeth, which may well have hindered his performance. |

Brian Boyd Saintfield Winner |
Vs 70kg 3x2 minute rounds |
Willie White Scotland |
 Another
Saintfield man - Brian Boyd is beginning to make a bit of a name for
himself as he beat former European Champion Willie White of Scotland
in only his third competitive bout, bringing his tally to three fights
three KO's. After two rounds of good action from both men, Boyd, put
White to the canvas with a big left hook to the body. The bell rang
for the start of round three and the Scotsman failed to leave his
corner much to the delight Brian and his Glentoran teammates who came
to support, all credit to White to stand in as Boyd's original opponent
didn't show and for giving weight away. |
