hehe

just got this off another site!zambo wins again!

Fight 1 - Gurkan Ozkan took on Frank Nadje in what was a very avearge fight, both really testing each other, Nadje through some nice leg kicks early on but then Gurkan through a few combos back at him, wasnt the most entertaining fight, Gurkan wins on points.

fight 2 - Sergery Ersov took on Headhunter, both looking mean and ripped the fight started off with a bang, both going at it full on, headhunter realli impressed me, his leg kicks and punches were spot on, but ershov took a brave few kicks and punches, 3rd round Headhunter deliverd his trademark leg kick and knocked him out cold.

fight 3 - prince hamid took on Baris in what lasted only 40 seconds when Baris got an accidentle hit on his neck or something which hurt him alot and couldnt continue, diddnt really see much but yeh.

fight 4 - (fight of the night) Pete spratt came into the ring looking mean and thought he might do some damage on zambidis and did exactly that early on dropping him to the canvas, but Zambidis looked in shape and through some nice combinations, both going toe to toe until the 3rd round when zambidis caught Spratt with a nice hook that dropped him down and was too much for Spratt to continue, very unlucky their thought Spratt had the edge to take this out.

Semi Final 1 - Headhunter V Ozkan - it started off pretty slow, both guys again testing each other, headhunter tryed to connect with a few headkicks but Ozkan keeped ducking and escaping well and jabbing earning the smart points, ozkan did quiet well in this 1, Ozkan wins by points.

Semi Final 2 - Prince Hamid - Zambidis - another excellent fight Prince Hamid happend to be no push over he gave Zambidis one hell of a fight, looked very good, Zambidis was all over him i thought but Hamid was very brave to fight back at him and earned alot of respect , 3 rd round Zam delivered once again knocking him out with a lucky punch.

Super Fight - Mario took on Pat in what was a really entertaining fight, i really enjoyed it queit funny, i thought Mario had the edge over the end but it wasnt to be and called it a draw.

FINAL - OZKAN V ZAMBIDIS NUMBER 2 - Fight started off really good for both fighters, Ozkan looking pretty good then usual and was awarded the early points when zambidis got detucted from 1 point, 2nd round saw more of Zambidis starting to take control over Ozkan trying to find the knockout punch to Ozkans face, but ozkan kept moving around quiet well and tryed to hit right back at him but the young fella was in his game tonight, 3rd round Zambidis i belive dominated just a little bit more the Ozkan, Ozkan got detucted by a point for holding on, Ozkan just diddnt have it in him that lilttle bit more. Zambidis won on points and was crowned the A-1 CHAMPION.

Just a correction on the post regarding the Hamid Vs Zam fight.

I'm pretty certain Hamid was dropped by Zam during the last 30 seconds or so, but Hamid got up and finished the fight which went the distance.

He really impressed me since I last saw him fight a couple of weeks ago. Even Solak commented on how good Hamid's chin was. He took a few typical massive Zam shots that have dropped the big guns in the past.

I'll put a few pics up when I get home.

I meant to say above, since I last saw him fight a couple of years ago in Melbourne, and not a couple of weeks ago.

How the hell did Prince Hamid stand up to those HUGE shots! what a chin!

Cheers Rex, well done Hamid cant wait to see the tape of this one.

Very nice.

Love the Hamid shot, these come too few and far between, good stuff.

Awesome Pics
Now that's what you call Fight Photography.
Give that photographer a Bourbon!!!!

Thanks guys I'm glad you like them, and thank you again Paul, if it wasn’t for your tips I still would be taking average photos.

Scottya, now that is a real complement, thanks mate.
PS: got some card girls for you on my site.

so when and where is the next A-1 tournament. anyone have any insight?

Not sure Chris, but there was a lot of talk about them being held in other continents. I don't think there was mention of the next Aussie show.


Terry, I don't have a single image to add. You've done an awesome job buddy.


Just want to say about sportsmanship.
Whether the after fight hugs are bullshit or not, it's great for the sports public image guys. So please keep it up, it's a nice wind-down after the press conference trash talk (which I think is cool also).

I must say that those are excellent photos! very clear and spot on! well done!
