Manuel Rodriguez won a really hard fought battle at CFC 14 on Saturday night. Manny had a 3 round war with Rod MacSwain, and got the nod from the judges in the end. Lucky for all those conditioning sessions!
Ian was looking good against Jai Bradney, but found himself in an unfavourable position towards the end of round 1. The referee jumped in and stopped the fight, ruling a TKO. Unlucky mate, we thought you still had a lot left in you.
We received some great photos of Alex Prates in his last kickboxing fight on the JNI ‘Survival Instinct’ show @ Hurstville. For an MMA fighter, Alex put on a great leg kicking display, nice work brother! See more photos on our Facebook page.
In under two weeks time, Double Dragon fighter Ian Schaffa will take on Jai ‘the Tooth Fairy’ Bradney in an exciting match up on the CFC 14 show at the Big Top, luna Park.
We have seen Ian training like a maniac lately, he is very motivated to get back in the cage and shake up the 70kg division. Jai Bradney recently beat Japan’s Masaya Doi via first round KO.
This bout is going to go off. Wish Ian luck, or even better, go along and cheer him on.
We found a couple of nice pics from the NSW State Pankration Championships. Here’s Sean Carroll with a nice inside leg kick. See more photos on our facebook page.
Rowan will be having his first full Thai rules fight against Jay Habib (Bulldog Gym Castle Hill) on the ‘Immortality’ show, Friday 14th May @ Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre.
Good luck Row, get in there and show him who’s boss!
Great efforts all round, with Alex Prates and Ben Lewis looking great and getting well deserved wins. Alex put on a leg kicking display – ouch!
Rowan’s fight was called off when his opponent collapsed in the ring seconds before the start of the fight. We hope he is ok and wish him well. What a shame for Rowan, he was firing and ready to go.
This Friday (30th of April) three Double Dragon fighters will be stepping into the ring at Hurstville Civic Centre. Good luck to Alex Prates, Rowan Sangster and Ben who is having his first fight. Come along and support the boys!
We will resume classes on Tuesday, everyone rest up and enjoy the day off.
