Warriors at War

This entry is a congratulations to Chris "Nemesis"Jones for his victory in his first ever Kick Boxing bout in last night's main event, Warriors at War at the Broncos Leagues Club. Chris has been training like a man possessed and it has paid off for him in his victory over a much younger and much taller opponent.

Round one saw Chris taken to the ground a couple of times by his opponent catching his kicks. It wasn't looking good by the end of this round, which went to his opponent. In Round Two Chris finally realised that this was a fight not a sparring match and got stuck in. Their were some great punches and knees throw by both contenders, but due to his level of controlled aggression Chris took this round.

At the beginning of Round Three, I turned to Dan, a mate of Chris and myself, and said to him that Chris really needed to take the other guy out, because if it went to points it could be a close thing.

Well Chris didn't disappoint, he came out hard and fast. He landed some hard hits, which took his opponent to a seven count early in the round. Then a little later a series of knees to his opponents torso took most of the fight out of the other guy. Then seconds later another knee to the body and one to the head ended the fight, with the Ref calling a TKO.

Good stuff Chris. Everyone keep an eye out for Chris in the future and an ear out for his theme tune, the sound of Gyuto monks chanting exploding into the Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness".

In talking to Chris after the fight he says he realised he had a lot more training to do. And knowing Chris, he will set to training with renewed vigor and a determination that will see him go far.
