This is the first time Olley has been out since his return from Thailand and the training put in by this youngster has certainly shown.

Lyndon Knowles took his bout last minute against Leon Walters yesterday. Lyndon showed real grit against the World Karate Champion, but during an exchange his eye got caught and was pulled out.
Chris Knowles started off well in the K1 tournament beating John Love and then pulled out all the stops to beat ex-opponent Dillon White in the final to become the new Pain & Glory K1 Champion.

Olley Watson fought in Thailand over the Easter Weekend against Thailand opponent Porntep. His opponent has had 200 fights and is known for being a really strong fighter. Olley took the fight all the way and if he had landed just 1 or 2 more low kicks he would have stopped the Thai. Olley took the fight on 1 days notice with no training and too fight such a strong Thai showed his strength and durability.

Terry Harris, Tony Livings and Dan Dass fought at Thai Boxing Extremity on Sunday. Terry Harris won in great style against local boy Daniel McGowan. Tony Livings lost by split decision against Ben Abbott from SSJ Studio and Dan Dass lost on points (which was a complete a surprise as he dictated the whole fight) against Davinder Singh. A great performance by all and an excellent time in the cloakroom…:D
