Stevie and Rhodri are both fighting on Master Skens show a few weeks before, so barring injury will be matched nearer the time.

Looking forward to seeing the Swedish fighters perform - don't think I've see anyone from that country fight, also makes it a bit more exciting cos you really don't know what to expect. I reckon if a few of the fighters are champions then they must be pretty good at least!

I reckon you could be right Anya, just means a bigger scalp for us SMTC boys to take. Sorry and Girl, Can't leave you out Laura.

Great stuff. What weight are Steph & Mehdi fighting at?

matthais is training at jittigym at the moment he is very tough and has a big hearty but is not that experienced so i think sean will take it on points

Steph and Mehdi are fighting at 77kg AFAIK

Thats good to know liam, that just makes the show even more exciting to go to. From Scotlands point of view its a no lose situation, and a good step foward for Scottish thai boxing to get good opponents over.

The steph and mehdi fight is one to watch as they are both big guys with alot of power.

Should have mentioned that the Steph/Mehdi fight is also 3X2mins

I think all the fighters are looking forward to this show. I am looking forward to fighting someone from abroad, a wee change from fighting an opponent you know of or have seen fight before. It will be a good challenge for us all.

Also forgot to mention that the SMTC website is getting revamped at the moment.

Mathias is strong... he has been fighting out of Jitti Gym for the past year in BKK, but previous to this he hadnt fought before. A baptism of fire I think!!!

Seans experience will take a points victory me thinks.

spoke to him this morning hes had 5 fights in sweden and 5 in thailand.

Is Mathias the only Swedish fighter on the bill out there at the moment?

dont know about that but hes the only swedish at jittis.
he fights in china on the 15th.

Should be a good match for sean then, as he has been out there for the last 7 months.

Here's a link to the Swedish teams website for anyone who's interested. It's all in Swedish (obviously!) but there's some nice pictures.

http://www.fightgym.net/

noi666,
did you have they pics of the Swedish handy in your wallet, not only do you owe me money but an explanation as to how you got hold of those pics so fast and do you have any more in your wallet of the other Swedes? lol

come and have a word at Skens and I'll let you into a lil secret...

see you there

Any pics of the other Karlsson?

And Laura, stop being so suspicious, all us fellas keep photos of greased-up guys handy for an emergency.

...achem....

don't we?....

HEY all the guy's have been warned about this! Yes Tereze is a good looking lass but you have not to be shouting for the opposition now. A few guys suggested getting her on early and then we could use her as the ring girl, but hopefully she won't be able to walk by then.

Am telling all your girlfriends what you guy's are saying down at the gym.

Here is your picture bobachanchyn, now don't be getting any ideas.

She is sooooooooooo getting a kicking, good looking bitch!!! and so are you Dan.

Can you FEEEEEEL the rage?

Heh. Gonna be a good scrap. Don't put too many dents in her Laura. It wouldn't be ladylike. :)

i am gonna warn Tereze (after i beat her) to stay away from the SMTC perv gang.
is that you just getting to your bed bobachanchyn??

Sorry to interupt your conversation about Terezes looks , but i dont like you calling her a bitch Laura.
I dont think she deserves that .......... so please keep it on a mature level.

Thank you and see you in Oktober

Fredric

Fredric,
I am sorry, i meant it in a light harted way. I did not mean to offend Tereze.
I was just a bit of banter bettween me and the boy's from the gym, as they have all been commenting on her good looks. Please accept my appologies to you and Tereze. I did not mean it to sound the way it did. It was more of a compliment to her than anything else.
Scottish humour is sometimes a bit harsh.

No problems Laura ;-)

The Scots have a strange sense of humour, I ve been training with them nearly five years and sometimes I don't get em. I know for a fact that Laura would me no harm.

John Craig Say's,

Thank you Dan, we me you no harm either ma big ozzy mate!

Sean's back this weekend from Thailand.

I heard a rumour that the lads in the fighters class have all chipped in to change the locks on the gym door.

Nah we have just asked John to move the Gym through to Edinburgh. Can't wait for Sean to return and boot us about but if I'm still standin hopefully I can pick up a few tricks of the trade.

maybe we should just take the mirror down then he won't be tempted to stay as long

Now now Mr old ooooooooohhhhh, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, nice one, thats it, work it. We have the evidence.

John there is nuthin rang wit me canberrraa education, us Aussies are taught a proper Language, none of this wegie Alllrrriiggghht BIG maaannnn.

A shaky camera and most of my fight upside down, i don't know, i think he was looking at ring girl of the month from fighters mag at ring side. C'mon give us an explanation 'Boba'. Mind guy's down at the gym he wants to be that.

Noi666 and Liam you are not giving out secrets about your training partners at Jitties to the Scotts are you ;-)

would we do that!!!

no trade secrets...all praise!!!

Nothing wrong with enjoying two girls going at it hard!

I was going for the 'Blair Witch' effect - just cos none of you philistines can appreciate my cutting edge filming techniques.

And less of the "old" Mordan - I'm still younger then you despite what the hairline says.

We will pay one pound in scottish notes per piece of info on the Swedes. C'mon noi666 you could make a lot of money from this.
Frederic, Scottish money is worth a lot more in England. If you want to make a few pounds i'll tell you how to do it when you come over on October.

Good Luck to the Scots on this one, the swedes are tough but so's the Hardy boys & girls, being originally from up North i can agree
also did a bit with the man mr craig a good teacher.
The fights will be a war Best of British and scottish to yas

Sounds great Laura ;-)

Just noticed that Tereze Lingberg bears an uncanny resemblance to boxer Regina Halmich.

Anyway, good luck to all fighting, a lot of historically tough warriors getting it on!

Well, if noi ain't going to let any secrets go on the Sweds, How about you Fredric. Nothing wrong with dropping a few trade secrets on your fellow country men. :) I'll even throw in a few Scottish pound notes.

Hmmm Mordan , how much you talkin about then,
and you gotta promise not to tell anyone ...... ;-)

Oh and by the way Mattias won his fight on the 16th September in China

Excellent, well done!

All makes for more excitement when he comes over here. Really looking forward to this one.

Promise I won't tell a soul Fredric, everyone in here is pretty good at keeping secrets (har har) If I can't find any £1 notes I'm sure I can sort you out with some rainbow coloured australian notes!!! :)

Do you know how he won his fight?

Sounds great Mordan ... i need some cash for my next Thailand trip , so maybe after Scotland i can afford :)

He won the fight on points after 5 rounds ... dont know who his opponent was though.

I like the new method of loosing weight for your fights guys! Mark 3kg (hair cut), Dan 4kg (shaved beard), i must be able to shift a good 5kg with a trim then.

Think I'll just go for a 'back, sack & crack' & fight at 40kg in future.

i gotta batch of £1 Notes from my days in bonnie wee scotland
top dollar$$$$

Good luck to the SMTC boys Stevie, Rhodri and Barry for Sunday. Just stay injury free for John's show and Barry keep your guard up this time!

Who needs a guard with a face like Barry's? ; )

Good luck guys.

wise words...oh and bring some £1 Notes

Boba, we can slag Barry off as much as we like as he dosn't have access to the internet at the moment and get him back for beating on us lighter ones, but i will pass on what you said tomorrow on the way down to the weigh in Ha Ha!

some good fight nights like, manchesters master skens show tommorow, then 15th october croyden surry, then these in scotland, im going to try for a hat trick
:>

Good luck Laura, unfortunately Stacey and I are away the weekend of the show or we would be coming along to cheer you on to victory.

Just been to master skens show, shame for Ronnie Mann V Rhodrie Williams Mann points, as i felt Rhodrie won, as did a few others. see you guys at this one

Just been to master skens show, shame for Ronnie Mann V Rhodrie Williams Mann points, as i felt Rhodrie won, as did a few others. see you guys at this one

Thing about losing is you put your head down and look at all the points of your fight, which I know for a fact Rhodri will be doing for this fight at Meadowbank.
Well Done anyway mate, done us all proud.

bbbbaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr.

Laura:


*ahem...ten quid...ahem*


lol

noi666,
stop stalking me, am gonna pay up. Will i post it recorded delivery since you need it so bad. lol

send him 2 £1 Notes thats £10 in England

Barry has a face only a mother could love after that last fight. His nose looks like someone has halfed a potato and stuck it on his face. when chatting to him in the bar i seen it grow before my eyes.
Well done to the boys, we will get them back next time guys!!
I forgot to bring 1£ scots notes for noi666 as i did not think i would need to, but even on a bad day Stevie was still standing to the end.
Anyway, great show and well done to all the fighters that took part.
Lets kick some ass for this SMTC show guys!!!

Laura, maybe you can settle the bet with Noi by making another prediction on these fights, maybe make it double or nothing! Just who are you going to predict on?

Hey, that's just cruel - I love your face Barry!

XXX

boba, if that's a pic of bazza you are trying to post, well thats just cruel to the rest of us having to look at it. You ain't seen his face yet! I think he's in hiding in a pub in Harthill somewhere.

Well we have been going on about the Sweds and trying to get any trade secrets about them but has anyone seen any of the Wicker camp boys fight? Just coming out of that camp means they won't be slouches, but has anyone seen any of the boys fight?

How did you know that?! It was a pic of Baz with a big spud grafted onto his beautiful mug, but obviously it didn't work.

I did think for a second that I might be going a step too far. But then I remembered it's Barry.

HE CAN TAKE IT! GRRRR...

I'm sure he'll bust me in the chops for it at some point anyway....

boba,
you should just come out the closet! Sleezy pics of greezed up men in your wallet, and your unhealthy obsession with Bazza who is a big gay boy anyway!. just ask big Dave Mcfarlane and Sibbald, they will let you into a secret or two about him. Anyway are you looking forward to your 20 rounds of sparring tomorrow. Remember Sean's back, a canny wait (aye right).

noi666,
I have sent your money off to Richard Cadden c/o Bad Company. Hope it gets to you soon as i hear you are off to Thailand again (lucky sod). Are you planning to fight out there? also while your there post some more info on the Swedes. lol

Good luck to Sean im sure the time in thailand has given you more than enough expeience to handle the situation,best of luck to the promoter and all the other fighters for "keeping it real" north of the border!!!!

Looking sharpe would be an understatement of what sean looked like on saturday. Seems those months in Thailand were well spent.
Roll on the 23rd I can't keep taking shots every weekend like the last one.

T.T.T. THE CHALKED ONE ;-)

ttt

Hi Laura,
Thanks for that! :)
I am sure I have heard that one before though...No that was "your cheque is in the post" ;)

As for info on the swedes, thats all I have!

Good luck!

I fight on the 22nd October for the WPMF World title at Nonthanburi. Will be shown on ch5 as well. Gr8 opportunity!!!

ttt

call me stupid or australian but what does ttt mean?

Noi666 ..... if i send you a nice cheque could you give us some info on the Scotts then , just to be fair ;-)
Oh and Chok dee for your upcoming fight !!

Mordan,

I think it means "To The Top"



... you stupid Australian.

Don't worry Mordan,I did'nt know what ttt meant for ages!
But i'm old and thick as well LOL ha ha ha


ttt

I'm just use to the old bush telegraph not these computer internet things. Truth is I ain't that old, I'm just crap on the computer.
I probably be better off sticking to thai boxing. lol
I know that one, just took me a few weeks to get.

SORRY Mordan,That came out wrong! I meant I'M OLD and Thick!
It took me ages to suss out all the LOL'S....Etc

No worries mate, I didn't even think of it any other way.
So are you south of the border people going to come up and watch all of the Scots do battle?

Wish i could i love it up there! Saving up to get married though ha ha. Good luck and all the best to all of the fighters.

well in that case Ally, what does TBS mean on the first page, is it any different from TBC?

That's a typo!

Good luck with the show.

Sorry about that dunno what happend (story of ma life).
Boy's are you ready for your last Saturday afternoon kicking?? Still trying to figure out who gave me that black eye last week that i still have!. I think it could be young whale or Timm, but to be honest i think it was a bigger guy, a much much bigger guy!
Yoda, just noticed your comment, and thanks from you and Stacy.
noi, i bet the other guy wins (you know what that means) you will kick him around for 5 rounds.lol

I think it was Dan - I overheard him bragging about it outside:

"...that'll teach her to..."

and he follwed that up with:

"....and that Bonner's gonna taste my boot next week..."

Allegedly.

just realised...Frank.... I trained with him at Jittis last year. He won best Ram Muay of the tournament on the Kings Cup 2004. One helluva fighter. Daniel has a tough fight against Frank at 76kgs. Good luck to all fighters.

Fredric - Thanks for the chok-dee for my fight on the 22nd.

We don't mess around up here, like to take on the toughest, but I just really wanted to post something to get the 100 post.

Mordan, imagine bursting young Whale's nose and giving me a black eye. You are now the new Barry! Whatever happened to that nice guy dan????

You would have to ask your Husband. He is the one who has formed me into the fighter I am today. As for your black eye and Boba, we will just have to sort this out with an extra bout on Sunday. Boba can stand on your shoulders to make him about the same height and weight as me.

You'll still be suffering a good looks deficit : )

i might be older but you're balder wee man !!! :)

it's just a sign of verility! (he says while searching for miracle cures on the internet)

...or as the bumper sticker says....

solar panel for a sex-machine!!!!!! LOL

wee baldy

wee baldyingalango just a new word i found when testing my new pass word.
NO OFFENCE BOBA

No offence taken....it's all going in my little black book for when I bring bullying & harrassment charges against all you nasty, nasty people.

Noi666 has obviously got spies in my bedroom - lucky man, seeing the nighttime prowess that a solar panel powered thingamy bestows!

Easy tiger, even if your head is a solar power panel, you've got to remember that you live in Glasgow.

Yeah, but the sun shines out my arse - that's why you see me doing all them funny stretches.

So everybody raring to go then? I make it 4 days and counting.....

I just wanted to say good luck 2 everyone competing in the show! i was going to come up but did'nt have enough money :( so could some1 let me know how it goes! Thanx x

Graham Pringle is also fighting on this show in a C-class 70kg bout against Thomas Weir

John Craig Say's,

Tereze Lingberg injured herself during training and has had to pull out of her fight with Laura. We have had a medical certificate from Fredric Rosenberg and it shows that Tereze has tore a ligament in her knee which will put her out of action for a while. We wish her a speedy recovery and hope we can get this fight on at a later date.

Laura is very disapointed as she has she has trained very hard for her first international bout, but she understands the way the fight game is.
As Laura's husband and trainer she is one of the unluckiest fighters i have trained due to the amount of pull outs in her career.
We will call it a day for this year but back fit and strong next year. If any body wishes to have Laura on there show e-mail as above.

Just had the weigh in and everyone was bang on, I'm now going to try and post a few shots taken from the weigh in.

Have you just got back from a weekend in Amsterdam bobachanchyn?

I hope that you will have a good show tomorrow and really sorry we could not make it,
Chok dee Sweden !!

Results anyone ....?

Here are the results as I remember them.
There were nine fights! (First names in each bout are SMTC fighters).

1. Draw for Lewis Whale & Thomas McCormack
2. Loss for Graham Pringle v Thomas Weir
3. Loss for Steph Espouey v Mehdi
4. Win for Billy Bonner v Sam Bawden
5. Win for Robert Burke v Thomas Sandberg
6. Win for Chris Polley v William Schafferer
7. Win for Mark Timm v Niklas Karlsson
8. Win for Sean Wright v Mattias Karlson
9. Loss for Daniel Durick v Frank Hofstetter

It was a fantastic day and all the boys did very well!

Have to say well done to everyone who was there yesterday. From the fights I saw it was a really good show.

Graham put up a great performance for his first fight against a strong fighter who kept up the pressure right the way through the fight.

Shame about the Steph/Mehdi fight, it was definitely shaping up to be a war with Steph dominating, but then BOOM, Mehdi fires out a well timed body kick that caught Steph clean.

And Dan put up a massively gutsy performance - even though tired & cut badly he was ready to come out for the final round, but had to be stopped due to the cuts. At least for the next week or so he'll be as ugly as the rest of us! ; )

Great job to everyone else on the show as well, from all camps. I'm sure someone will put up a description of the fights, but as I say I didn't see them all.

Has anyone got any pics?

Well done everybody!! looked like a good show, does anyone know which website the pictures will be posted??

Boba, me Bro is working on the video footage as we speak and hopefully it will be sent down from the deen in a couple of days. As for photos, I'm pretty sure we had a professional taking them so hopefully their will be a few crackers.

Even with 7 stitches mate I'm still good looking, well the right side of my face is. lol

Well done to everyone some great fights and everyone was really well matched, I reckon we try and bring the sweds back as they were all class guys and as the drinks flowed their English was spot on.

The best fight for me would have to be Chris polley, from looking nearly down and out to bangin in those longs knees to take the fight. Once again didn't get to see em all but the ones I did were all awesome.

Anyone got any tips for trying to explain to a class of 9 year olds how I got my 7 stitches?

What happened to LAura's fight

Laura's fighter pulled out a few days before the show due to injury.

Just wanna say thanks ALL you SMTC people for a great weekend. Everything has been fantastic and we are very satisfied with everything. Looking forward for some re-matches already!! By the way thank you for the party yesterday... my head feels like it´s gonna explode any minute!!

Thomas Borås, Sweden

Daniel Durick, John Craig & Frank Hoffstetter

Glad you all had a good time Thomas, it makes the hangover we all had on Monday morning worthwhile!

Niklas Karlsson, Daniel Durick, John Craig, William Schafferer, Frank Hoffstetter and Mattias Karlsson

Should hopefully have some pics up of the fights later tonight. Have been told there are a few crackers of both Sean vs Mattias and Chris vs William.

I just can't seem to get these pics up, I'll send them onto someone else and see if they can.

Send them to me if you like ...
