It would be so much easier if we could review every single fight at every single fight night... but unfortunately that’s not possible, so these will have to do :)

Bout 2: Stefan Gelderboom (Tricore) vs. Adriaan Matthew (Young Guns)

There won’t be much to say about this fight, because it ended rather quickly, but this is one of those “it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey” kind of situations. In R1 Stefan had made his intentions clear that he was there to do a job. He wasted no time in taking control and dominating his opponent. Stefan left no room for his opponent to counter, causing an injury with the ref calling the fight in the break between R1 and R2.



Bout 4: Sylvester Chipfumbu (Panther) vs. Keeran Geduld (Rad Dragon MT)

This was a rather interesting fight to watch, even more so from ring side... Sylvester opened R1 with a clean, jab landing full on in Keeran’s face. An exchange of very technical punches saw Keeran hitting the canvas, getting an 8 count, but maintaining his heart and getting back in there. Shortly after, Sylvester delivers a knee to Keeran’s face, Keeran hits the canvas but gets right back into it. This is followed by a flurry of punches from Sylvester, still maintaining his technique, slightly more passive than Keeran, and ending R1 with another knee to Keeran’s face. Something that really grabbed me from this fight, was every time Keeran got knocked down, regardless of how bad it hurt (and we all know, I know exactly how bad that hurts), he got back up, showed little to no sign of being hurt or losing heart. Sylvester delivers a combo of punches in R2 followed by a powerful front kick, ending the fight in a KO.



Bout 8: Emile Brits (Tricore) vs. Josh Light (Takedown)

 So doing what we do, we happen to know certain fighters and their game... it’s great when they surprise us, catch us off guard and fry our brains sometimes. Something about this fight had me excited from the word go, maybe it was that Adrian “Sparks” van Wyk mentioned in his pre fight interview, that Emile Brits is his training and sparring partner. That must make him a tough cookie. R1 opens with Josh dropping heavy leg kicks, but Emile returns the favour. Josh delivers a combo, sending Emile to the ground. Emile gets back in, Josh continues delivering combos’s, cautiously controlling his moves, being slightly technical, while Emile continues to counter his combo’s. Josh delivers a knee to Emile’s solar plexus, and another combo to end R1. Josh going hard in R2, while Emile maintains composure, through a solid head kick delivered by Josh. Both guys exchanging combo’s, and some body kicks to end R2. Josh feeling Emile out in R3, allowing Emile to take advantage and close in on him. Emile unloads a flurry of punches just before Josh gets sent to his corner to have his nose cleaned up... Blood everywhere... Emile drops a knee to Josh’s face and follows up with a strong head kick just before Josh gets sent back to his corner for another clean up ending R3. Emile opens R4 with leg kicks, Josh returning with the jab but leaves a gap for Emile to land a clean straight right causing even more damage and the ref calls the fight, too much of an uncontrollable blood fest.



Bout 14: Adrian van Wyk (Tricore) vs. Remo Ralph (Andrew Thomson)

This was one of those “if you blinked, you might as well have been asleep” kind of fights. Great match up, both athletes having had some major experience behind their names and bith very well rounded stand up athletes. Remo opened R1 with a combo, clean, technical punches, while Adrian dropped leg kicks that even we felt! Remo returns with a head kick, putting his slight height advantage to good use. Adrian delivers a spinning head kick, remo not fazed, returning knees to the chest of Adrian. Remo dropping some strong body kicks to end R1. R2 sees Remo delivering head kicks with intent! Remo displaying very clinical, technical striking... Adrian attempts to distract Remo with short jabs to Remo’s face, while Remo unloads body shots to Adrian. Remo lands a head kick, Adrian returns with a leg kick, a combo and a knee to Remo’s face. Adrian delivers a technical knee, sending Remo to the canvas with an 8 count. Remo recovers and R2 ends. R3 gets underway with both Remo and Adrian unloading strong, solid punches, followed by a knee to Remo’s face giving him an 8 count that he recovers from and finds himself back in... Adrian delivers a flurry of punches, Remo hits the canvas, gets an 8 count and doesn’t recover in time... the ref calls it and Adrian “Sparks” van Wyk is the Get in the Ring champion. Not only did a lot of hard work and strength go into this fight, but evidently, tremendous amounts of heart from both athletes!!
