All the gladiators were introduced to the crowd before the competition began, with Area, British and European Titles up for grabs.  Everyone was in for a night of action.

Fighter’s had weighed in the night before and had all met their weight categories.

With MC Tony Deane travelling down from Leeds on the day, Andy from Photo Every Event and Dave from Tiger Productions.

Guest referee was Dave Faulkner who conducted the pre-fight meeting, including the drawing of rounds for amateur bouts, professional bouts being drawn in the ring prior to the contest start.

Enough of this, lets get on with the action.

To start the evening and get everyone in place Ben Holcroft (Merseyside Kickboxing & GBH) took part in a 5 x 1.5 demonstration in Thai Boxing against a very talented Shaun Evans (Kirkby Muay Thai).

Thank you to both lads for such a controlled display.

Fight 1
Golden Belt Hardcore Amateur North West Area Title – 72-75kg
Kostodin (Co-Co) Toychev (Huyton MMA) V Dave Howard (Merseyside Kickboxing & GBH)

Everyone knew that as a return fight this was going to be a cracker, having brought the house down last time they met.  With the added attraction of a Title for grabs, this was going to be action all the way and we certainly were not let down.  The round order drawn during the pre-fight meeting was as follows:

Round 1 – Full Contact (6 kicks minimum)
Round 2 – Thai Boxing
Round 3 – Low Kicks
Round 4 – MMA
Round 5 – Boxing

Round 1 – Both fighters got off to a blistering start, with Howard receiving damage to his nose.  This didn’t seem to deter him in any way, but Co-Co had certainly put the training in for this fight and he was firing on all cylinders.  Both fighters completed the 6 kick rule and more, for the full contact round.

Round 2 – Mid round Howard managed to rock Co-Co who was stunned for a moment, just as the bell was sounding for the end of Round 2.

Round 3 – Co-Co regained his composure and once again gave it his all.  At this point Howard’s nose began to bleed badly and had to be checked out by the paramedics in attendance.

Round 4 – This was an all action round, with both fighters having their moments.  Co-Co finally forcing a tap out after 40 seconds.

Congratulations to Kostadin Toychev, our new Golden Belt Hardcore Amateur North West Area Champion.  Respect to both fighters, as I am sure there will be a return fight in the future, the score now being 1-1.

Fight 2
Golden Belt Hardcore Professional British Title – 67-69.5kg
Karl Ryan (Next Generation MMA) V Mike Egan (Dragonz Den)

As this was a professional bout, the round order was drawn from a hat at the start of the fight.  The results of which were as follows:

Round 1 – MMA
Round 2 – Low Kicks
Round 3 – Boxing
Round 4 – Full Contact
Round 5 – Thai Boxing

This was a closely contested fight throughout each round, with both fighters showing great ability in each discipline.

After the full distance of five rounds, the decision was given to Mike Egan on points, making him the new Golden Belt Hardcore Professional British Champion.  Well done to both fighters.

Fight 3
Junior Thai Boxing – 48-50kg
Sascha Elmsley (Kirkby Muay Thai) V Leonie (Girl) Hardman (Merseyside Kickboxing & GBH)

This was a cracking fight by two novice thai boxers.  Going the full five rounds the decision was given to Girl by unanimous decision.  Well done to both girls, we are sure you will meet again in the future.

Fight 4
Golden Belt Hardcore Amateur North West Area Title – 69.5-72kg
Glyn Kevan (Next Generation MMA) V Rob Johnson (Merseyside Kickboxing & GBH)

The round order drawn during the pre-fight meeting was as follows:

Round 1 -Boxing
Round 2 – Thai Boxing
Round 3 – MMA
Round 4 – Full Contact
Round 5 – Low Kicks

Once again this was a closely fought competition.  Glyn seemed to be the stronger on the day, with Rob having his moments.

The deserved win going to Glyn Kevan from Next Generation MMA after five rounds, our new Golden Belt Hardcore North West Area Champion, congratulations.

Fight 5
Golden Belt Hardcore Professional European Title – 81.5-85kg
Rafael Silva (Team Loio, Portugal) V Steve Reeves (City of Liverpool Kickboxing, England)

As this was a professional bout, round order was drawn in the ring as follows:

Round 1 – Boxing
Round 2 – Full Contact
Round 3 – Low Kicks
Round 4 – MMA
Round 5 – Thai Boxing

This was not the original fight lineup, due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e. a missed flight).

Steve Reeves was originally to fight Malcolm Griffin of Ireland, but due to a no show, he stepped up to take the challenge and fight for the Professional European Title in Golden Belt Hardcore.

Rafael Silva who is no stranger to these shores and had fought under these rules previously, winning an Amateur European Title, was looking forward to the match up.

Round 1 – Rafael got off to a blistering start, attacking Steve right from the bell.  I think everyone was taken back from the fast start of the Portugese gladiator, and Steve received a standing count.

The Referee signalled fight on and Rafael was on Steve again like a tornado.  Sensing that Steve had not recovered it gave the referee no opportunity but to stop the fight.

Congratulations to Rafael Silva, the new Golden Belt Hardcore Professional European Champion.

It must be said, to take nothing away from Rafael, that Steve Reeves had indeed taken the fight at short notice, and that as well as being a gladiator, he is a total gentleman.

Congratulations again to Rafael who will be back to defend his title in November.

Fight 6
Golden Belt Hardcore Amateur European Title – 72-75kg
Pedro Salgado (Team Loio, Portugal) V Jay Bimpson (Merseyside Kickboxing & GBH, England)

The round order as drawn at the pre-fight meeting was as follows:

Round 1 – Thai Boxing
Round 2 – Full Contact
Round 3 – Low Kicks
Round 4 – MMA
Round 5 – Boxing

The final fight of the evening to end a great show couldn’t have been better, with local celebrity Jay Bimpson, who had recently won a World Title in Kickboxing in Trinidad & Tobago, was making his home debut in front of his fans.

His opponent Pedro from Portugal was certainly on a high after seeing his team mate’s success, but Jay was not to be out done, and expecting a fast start he took the fight straight to Pedro in Round 1, with Pedro receiving a count of 8.

Round 2 – Jay started as he had finished the previous round, with an onslaught of kicks and punches.  Pedro seemed to have the fight knocked out of him, and Jay was looking for another belt to add to his collection, he was not going to be denied.  Referee Dave Faulkner stepped in and Pedro indicated that he no longer wanted to continue, making Jay the new Amateur European Champion to add to his World Kick Boxing Title.

The Golden Belt would like to say thank you to all the staff at Skelmersdale Sports Centre, and to all the back room staff that made the show run so smoothly, along with all the Officials and all the Clubs which took part.

We are looking forward to Initiation IV in November, the date for which will be announced soon.

If you missed this show you missed out, make sure you don’t miss the next one!

Thank you to all the clubs and officials, and a big thank you to John Craig from Scotland for travelling down with his team, they are a great bunch of fighters and supporters.

The show had excellent support from local club such as Next Generation MMA, Huyton MMA, Capital Punishment (Ireland), City of Liverpool, Kirkby Thai Boxing and Merseyside Kickboxing and GBH (Skelmersdale and Haydock)

With the help and support of the above, the show was an absolute cracker.

It started with a demonstration to explain the concept and rules of GBH to the crowd.

This was between Emma (Blondie) Pennington and Mandy Cullen, and was commentated by the one and only Steve Gentleman Taberner, our MC.

This set out five rounds of GBH as follows:

Round 1 – Boxing
Round 2 – Full Contact
Round 3 – Low Kicks
Round 4 – Thai Boxing
Round 5 – MMA

The MC explained to the crowd that in amateur and professional bouts, neither fighter would know the round order of their fight until the night.

The Demonstration over, the show began:

Fight 1

Jack Birkett (Huyton MMA) V Aaron Robertson (Next Generation MMA)
Junior (12-17) GBH – 5 x 1.5 minutes

This was a junior GBH competition, and it was agreed between corners that there would be a change of gloves.

The round order was drawn during the fight meeting prior to the start of the show and was as follows:

Round 1 – Boxing
Round 2 – Low Kicks
Round 3 – Full Contact
Round 4 – Thai Boxing
Round 5 – MMA

The fight got off to a fantastic start by both fighters and in round 4 the Referee stopped the competition in favour of Aaron Robertson from Next Generation MMA who took the decision by TKO, Round 4, 10 seconds.

Fight 2

Paulie Godfrey (Merseyside GBH) V Joey O’Brien (Capital Punishment)
Amateur GBH – 5 x 2 minutes

The round order drawn during the rules meeting was as follows:

Round 1 – Low Kicks
Round 2 – MMA
Round 3 – Thai Boxing
Round 4 – Boxing
Round 5 – Full Contact

As both fighters were introduced to the ring, Paulie Godfrey received what can only be described as fantastic support from his home crowd.

Paulie had an explosive first round, with Joey doing his best to keep Paulie off.  Unfortunately Paulie had other ideas in mind, catching Joey with an over-hand right which put Joey down for a full count of 10, to the delight of Paulie and his supporters.

Paramedics wee straight into the ring to check on Joey’s condition, and on standing Joey was given a round of applause by all the supporters.

Both fighters embraced after the decision, Paulie Godfrey winning the fight by KO in Round 1.

Fight 3

Neil Rawlinson (Merseyside GBH) V Joe Niell (Next Generation MMA)
Amateur GBH – 5 x 2 minutes

The round order drawn in the pre fight meeting was as follows:

Round 1 – Thai
Round 2 – Full Contact
Round 3 – Low Kicks
Round 4 – MMA
Round 5 – Boxing

This was an absolute cracker of a fight, with Neil taking the first 3 rounds on all judges’ cards.

Round 4, the MMA round came, where Joe came into his own  forcing a tap out from Neil after 1 minute 22 second.

This was to Neil’s dismay after his hard work in the previous three rounds, but that is GBH for you.

This should make a great return fight, and congratulations to Joe Niell from Next Generation MMA Liverpool.

Fight 4

Rob Johnson (Merseyside GBH) V Lewis Niell (Next Generation MMA)
Amateur GBH – 5 x 2 minutes

The round order was determined as follows:

Round 1 – Full Contact
Round 2 – Low Kicks
Round 3 – MMA
Round 4 – Thai Boxing
Round 5 – Boxing

What an excellent display of technique from two first timers who had the crowd on their feet on a number of occasions.

And with blood coming from Lewis Niell’s nose it still didn’t put him off, with his corner doing an excellent job in-between rounds.

The judges got it spot on with all three making it a draw, as no one deserved to lose this fight.  An excellent fight, and congratulations to both fighters and corners.

Fight 5

Danny Skelhorn (Merseyside Kickboxing) V Thomas Tolcher (Kirkby Muay Thai)
Amateur Thai Boxing – 3 x 2 minutes

Again a first fight for both competitors, who after weighing in at the exact same weight entered the ring with great support from both sides.

The bell rang for round 1 and both fighters came out with their all, neither wanting to back off with some excellent techniques.  The judges had this round even, but in round 2 Thomas caught Danny with a  combination sending Danny to the canvas for the count of 8.

The fight continued and Thomas really turned on the pressure putting Danny down for his second count.

The referee stopped the fight at this point, as two knock downs in one round is an automatic stoppage.  Danny was disappointed, but I am sure he will be back even stronger now he has had a taste for it.

Congratulations to Thomas Tolcher from Kirkby Muay Thai.

Fight 6

Mick Shipley (City of Liverpool) V David Roc (Capital Punishment)
Amateur GBH – 5 x 2 minutes

The round order was determined as follows:

Round 1 – Low Kicks
Round 2 – Boxing
Round 3 – MMA
Round 4 – Thai Boxing
Round 5 – Full Contact

This was an absolute cracking competition, evenly matched right up to Round 4, Thai Boxing, where Shipley was caught with a combination of techniques thrown by David Rock.  Shipley went down for the count of 10 making David Rock from Capital Punishment the winner by TKO in Round 4, 1 minute 26 seconds.   The Paramedics were once again straight into the ring to attend to Mick who rose to the applause of the crowd.

Congratulations David.

Fight 7

Dave Howard (Merseyside GBH) V Kostodin Toycher (Huyton MMA)
Amateur GBH – 5 x 2 minutes

The rounds were drawn as follows:

Round 1 – MMA
Round 2 – Low Kicks
Round 3 – Full Contact
Round 4 – Thai Boxing
Round 5 – Boxing

This was a change of opponent for Howard, as his original opponent was forced to pull out due to broken ribs during training.  Total respect to Kostodin, who took the fight on the same day, and what a fight this was.

This had everything that GBH is about, with the fight going the full five rounds distance, and the fighters receiving a standing ovation before the decision was announced.

The decision was given to Howard on points to the delight of his supporters, and respect must again go to Kostodin and his corner, who were total gentlemen.

A big thank you must go to the all the GBH Staff, Referees, Judges, Corner Men, Clubs, Fighters and supporters who made this a great show, the next of which will be announced soon.

Steve Reeves, the Liverpool Legend, was also scheduled to fight on this bill.  Unfortunately his opponent withdrew due to hand injury, and a replacement could not be found at short notice.  Steve was a total gentleman on receiving this news and said that he would definitely be fighting on the next show.

Steve received his rightful purse as this was no fault of his, and we would like to thank him once more for his understanding.

We would also like to thank and commend the Irish supporters and fighters who were great ambassadors for their country, and a big thank you to Dylan Scally our Irish Representative for GBH for arranging his team.  Unfortunately Dylan could not make it over for this show, but we look forward to seeing him for the next show.

Thank you to Event Photography for the use of their photographs.  You can view the full gallery here.

The show had everything, top fights, food and after show entertainment, with something for everyone.  If you missed it, you missed out big time.

To start the eveing, all fighters were introduced to the appreciative crowd.

Fight 1
Liam Malkin (Sapphires Gym) V Jamie McWilliams (Childwall Thai)

This was a great way to start the evening, as both lads gave their all.  The decision went to Liam from Sapphires.

Fight 2
Ryan Jackson (Widnes Kickboxing) V Dave Howard (Merseyside Kickboxing)

Another well fought competition from both lads.  Howard taking the result by unanimous decision.

Fight 3
Laura Baugh (Mersey Thai) V Natasha Sweeney (Mr M’s)

This was a cracking competiton.  The fight being stopped at 52 seconds of Round 4, making Laura Baugh the winner.

A bit of confusion at the end as it was thought this was a title fight, however I am sure that Laura will be fighting for a Title soon.  Congratulations to Paul Beaty.

Fight 4
Golden Belt Junior North West Area Title – Thai Boxing 50-52kg
Megan Corwell (Widnes Kickboxing) V Sammy Preston (Childwall Thai)

Megan was certainly up for this, taking the fight to Sammy from round 1.

The fight was stopped in Round 4 by Referee Craig Neild, to the delight of the full house weho were jubilant with the local girl winning.  Megan is someone to look out for in the future.  Great potential from a girl who is only 13 years old.  Congratulations to Paul Lund, as Megan’s training has really paid off.

Fight 6
Golden Belt Amateur English Title – Thai Boxing 62-64.5kg
Kyle Jerram (Widnes Kickboxing) V Thomas Davies (Kirkby Thai)

This was the main fight of the evening for the Golden Belt English Thai Boxing Title.

The crowd were on their feet as both fighters entered the ring.

The fight was scheduled to be 4×2 minute rounds, however Jerram had other things in mind.  From the start of Round 1 Jerram totally focused and went for Davies.  Davies didn’t seem to have an answer for this and every time he caught Jerram it just seemed to have no effect.  Jerram had his eye set on that Title.

Davies was put down with a cracking knee strike from Jerram and the referee Craig Neild issued a count.  Davies stayed down and was counted out at the end of Round 1 making Kyle Jerram the new Golden Belt Amateur English Champion.

See the video for yourself:

After such a cracking night of Thai Boxing, the entertainment continued with a drag act and hypnotist.

The Golden Belt would like to thank Paul and Kirsty, and all the Officials for their help in making it such a brilliant evening.

I find it hard to pick a fight to talk about, but having siad that the British Golden Belt Title between Connor Butler (Kirkby, England) and TJ Everett (Phoenix Muay Thai, Scotland) was a cracking display from both fighters.  With the Golden Belt Title going to TJ from Scotland.

I am sure there will be a return in the future.

In no particular order, another great match up was Nicholas Ball (Kirkby) versus Ross (Phoenix Muay Thai).  Nicholas Ball taking the fight by unanimous decision.  It must be said that Ross never gave up at any point, but Nicholas Ball was on fire, and gave a tremendous display of thai boxing.

Bronson Price from Merseyside Kickboxing accepted his fight with two days notice.  This is nothing taken away from his Scottish opponent Corey McLachlin, who was a class act.  Bronson lost out on points on this occasion to a more experienced fighter.

Another top fight came was Kane Keen (Kirkby) against Joe Boffey (Childwall Thai), with the decision going to Keen.

Oliver Goulding (Kirkby) was matched against Nathan Brook from Bolton Thai Boxing, the decision going to Olly.

To top the bill there was a 5×3 Full Muay Thai Rules match between Dean Robinson (Kirkby) and Kev Ward (Elite Southport).

This started with Dean connecting with a jumping elbow strike to the head, cutting Ward’s head.  Ward was not put off by this and after a slow start in the first, seemed to wake up in the second with both fighters throwing a full arsenal of thai techniques.

By round three Ward was certainly into his own.  Robinson seemed unable to answer his attacks and was put down, the referee stopping the fight at 2 minutes 15 seconds of this third round.

The full card and results were as follows:

A big thank you to all the officials and clubs who contributed to this great event.

Well done to Rab from Scotland for bringing a great team.

Thank you to Sandy and Ronnie for their MCing skills, and Craig Neild for Refereeing along with all the Judges.

Jay Bimpson travelled half way around the world with his dad (and Trainer) Master Alby Bimpson, to face Donald Snaggs of Trinidad & Tobago.

Donald was the national hero, with 21 fights and 20 wins under his belt, fighting on his home turf where it was impossible to go out in the day because of the heat unless you are well shaded.

The build up to the fight was excellent, with three television stations reporting the up and coming event – this being the first time that a World Title Kickboxing Event had been held in Trinidad & Tobago.

Having arrived in the country a week before the event, Jay and his Trainer were treated to VIP hospitality, with an excellent hotel and training facility.  A big thank you to Donald for arranging this.

The World Title itself was held in the … … arena, which was packed with home supporters.

Jay entered the ring first and was met with the applause from an excellent crowd.

Donald followed with his entourage of people, the crowd waving flags and singing.

After the customary anthem singing and a pre-fight card, everyone was eagerly awaiting the history making World Title showdown.

Round 1

Both fighters tried to stamp their authority onto the fight, by testing each other with combinations of techniques.  Donald seemed to take the first round, to the delight of the supporters.

Round 2

After a flurry of combinations, Bimpson was put down by what seemed to be a punch.  This was disputed at the time, as it looked like a slip.  Bimpson received the 8-count, once again giving the round to Snaggs.

Round 3

Bimpson seemed to settle down in this round, and started pushing forward meeting fire with fire.  At this point the crowd were on their feet, as they could see the English man was living up to the hype and hadn’t just come for the holiday.

Round 4

As both fighters came together Snaggs picked up a cut under his right eye.  It was unclear how this came about.   The fight seemed to turn at this point in Bimpson’s favour.

Round 5

Both fighters were starting to tire at this point, with Bimpson not accustomed to the heat.  Bimpson dug in deep in this round after the success of the previous round.  Both fighters seemed to be accusing the other of under handed techniques, but the Referee did an excellent job and kept the fight flowing.

The heat and the action took its toll upon the fighters, and Snaggs seemed to tire quicker than Bimpson, which was a compliment to Bimpson’s fitness and the fact he had put both his heart and soul into the training leading up to this World Title fight.

Round 6

The bell sounded and as both fighters met in the centre of the ring, Bimpson seemed to have the edge with more aggression, sensing that his opponent was showing signs of fatigue.  And at what can only be described as the turning point, Bimpson started to chase down Snaggs and at the end of the round Snaggs’ eye was examined by the doctor.

The corner withdrew their fighter.

Bimpson realised he had won this epic battle where the odds had been stacked against him, and was ecstatic as the World Title Belt was placed around his waist, making him the Golden Belt World Kickboxing Champion.

The respect from the crowd was fantastic, with many people taking photographs and asking for autographs.

An interview was given for Television in the ring, during which Bimpson thanked Donald Snaggs and the people of Trinidad & Tobago for the opportunity to fight for this Title, and the warm hospitality he had received.  He also promised Snaggs a return fight.

Bimpson’s Trainer and dad thanked Trinidad & Tobago for their excellent hospitality and fairness during this prestigious event, and we look forward to working with Donald Sanggs and his Sensei in the near future.

Held at a sold out venue of Clock Face Labour Club in St Helens, the event was to raise funds for Willow Brook Hospice.

To date the event has raised £2000 for Willowbrook.

A DVD is also available, the proceeds for which will also be donated to Willowbrook.
