HILARY MACK ( CALEDONIAN) v MELLISSA RAE ( DRAGONS) 5X2MINS FTR

Full thai rules ladies??? never heard that over here? unless have elbow pads, i might be wrong sorry, and is mellissa ray not from ings cobra in geordie land under Gary McCallister or am i wrong again sorry.

Kings cobra

hi MTK probly a mistake from j o'brien, he reads this and will probly confirm

The aim was to make this an A-class show with Full Thai Rules over 5x3mins, so hopefully all most will be in that format. The only matchup that isn't under FTR is Johnathon Dick Vs. Colin Morton, which will be modified rules over 5x2mins rounds. There have been a few changes of the line-up for this, which is getting rearranged just now, so there should hopefully be a few additions soon.

MTK - John O'Brien told me that it was a typing mistake from which he “humbly apologises”, your fight is FTR over 5x3mins, so you can look forward to that extra air in between rounds! Good luck with the training!

Thailion – I’m not sure if Dave Edwards had retired from fighting, but if that’s correct, I’m assuming he has reconsidered as his flights are booked to come up for the show.

As far as the female fight, I am not sure what rules they will be fighting under, but if I find out the details I will let you know.

Many Thanks Gary,and apologies for the mistakes.

Thailon, as far as I'm aware Mellissa previously trained with Kings Cobra but recently moved and was training with Dean White the last I heard(last month).Hope that's a help.

Dave fought Full contact on my show 3 weeks ago..Don't think he's ever retired, just gone a bit quite. I spoke to him weeks ago and he mentioned this fight in Scotland. He was meant to fight Thai rules this coming sat in stevenage but that fell through.

Best of luck to him.

Dave has now seemingly the time to train properly for his fights where maybe in the past his training has been hampered for what ever reasons. Aso he's seemingly took alot of fights very short notice, and against heavier opponents.

So now that he's got a chance to train properly for future fights it should be good to watch, also interesting viewing for myself as I am matched with him for November 12th....Yeee Ha

thanks Guys all of you for the answers, best of british to you all

It’s a great line up, hopefully John will be on early so we can kick back and enjoy the rest of the fights. John O’Brien, please post the menu for the buffet. Yours in hunger, Yoda.

the above fight card was only half completed, too near my bedtime..lol

Thanks again Tommy for the poster.

TTT

Eileen, John Dick fights out of the GTBA with that most handsome of coaches Mark "the hungry" Hendrie.

Thanks for the correction 'O hungry one'

What happened to Guy vs Lloydy? I was looking forward to that:(

Lloyd got Typhoid in Thailand, but he is out of hosital and getting better now! But Rab and Guy will be a cracking fight to!

Any predictions?

No! I haven't seen Mykey Price, Conor O,Reagan or Daniel Brisset fight, so can't really comment. As for the rest, most are really close matches and could go either way.

I think that Robert Weir will win, sorry Dave but I think Robert will be too strong for you, also I would expect Graeme Ness too win (the form MTK is in just now I can't see him losing),Guy Ramsay V Rab Burt is way too close to call but I think that could be fight of the night. John Dick V Colin Morton I expect John to rise to the challenge (as he tends to do) and take home the belt (either by winning it or pinching later on when no one's looking) lol.

is the thai ian mculley fighting being flown in or is here staying over here....any info on him.

Wow. Great card!

TTT.

Yoda:
Don't open your gob on my behalf too soon mate ;-P .....lol

Liam:
Rung is a Thai who now lives in Inverness (Yeah I know from Thailand to Sheepland - what was he thinking!!...lol) I think he's fought many times in the top Thai stadiums in both Western & Thai Boxing. Not sure exactley though so I aint going to stick my neck out - maybe someone who knows of him more will answer you better. Stevie Nisbett had him do a Seminar, so he should know a wee bout about him.

liam, rung has recently moved to scotland and is fighting and coaching, i had a seminar with him recently and he was on top form.

check this thread for more of him

stevie

thanks for the info.......tough fight for ian then. good luck

I have sold out my allocation of tickets for this show, so if you want to go contact Bobby real soon.

Stevie, has Rung moved here for good now? He told me he was basically back and forward, here for 6 months then in Thailand for 6 months.

Yeah Liam, I think it will be a tough fight for Ian, but It'll be close! Without being disrespectful to him, Rung's best days are gone, but he is still quick and sharp! He isn't giving away much weight away either, he normally sits about 62-63kg and told me he was fighting in Thailand recently against a foreigner at 70kg. I reackon it might come down to how Ian copes with coming down to that weight as he looks a good bit bigger (could be wrong though). I wonder if Rung will see and block Ian's spinning hook kick!

Yoda, I agree about Rab and Guy's fight, I think it is shaped up to be the highlight of the night! I haven't seen Guy fighting for years, so its hard to imagine how he will perform, but he will have to be good and shake of the ring rust fast to take the title from Rab! I think Daniel B will have his hands full with Graeme. I was really impressed with him during his fight with Stephen and he had improved so much since the last time I seen him fight! I think he'll be flying up the Brittish Bantamweight Rankings! Have you seen Dave Edwards fight Yoda, I thought I had seen him but i have confused him with someone else! As for John and Colin's fight, I'm obviously hoping Colin comes home with the belt, but I think it again is a close one!

I wouldn't write Dave Edwards off too quickly.

As the majority of the fights are Full Rules then anything can happen. All it can take is one of those little elbows and the fight is finished!

Should be a good show!

I take it you have seen Dave fight then Graeme, any inside info on his style or main weapons for us?

Spot on, FTR changes everything and makes it so much harder to predict, as even people that don't normally have a dig, suddenly have stopping power with elbows! I'm so jealous, I wish I could get some of the elbow fum and games!

Gary O'Brien STBA writes:

I wonder if Rung will see and block Ian's spinning hook kick!

He will now.

Didn't know they had the internet in Inverness.... ;-)

Brian they don't have electricity up in Inverness never mind internet access! LOL

Its not exactly a secret, every time I've seen him fight he has thrown some quick spinning kicks. If you were fighting Ian then you would be expect a spinning hook or back kick to be thrown at some point, but chances are it will still land, as it is a peach!

MTK, sorry to put more pressure on you mate but you know me I have huge problems trying to keep my opinions to myself. Stacey beats the utter cr*p out of me whenever I happen to mention she’s letting herself go, I guess I’ll never learn, but to make amends how about joining us for a nice friendly game of cards pre-fight? ;-)

Gary, yeah mate I saw Dave fight a few times. I was matched to fight him before but the show fell through. He's a very tough and experienced lad and a top dude as well, but I still think that Rab(Weir) will win in the end.

YODA, Ive ordered in spam and pickled eggs for the pre fight buffet cos I know you love them.

I hope that pickled Quails eggs John, none of your sparrow or pigeon nonsense mate.

Cheers Mark!

looks lke it gonna be a cracker hopefuly i'll make it best of luck to all fighters

Gary:
No I haven't seen Dave fight before. Will do though on the 16th, and will be facing him on our gym's show, which is on NOVEMBER, 12th!

He's been around for a while, and has fought some good guys. Da Silva, Crooke, and also Damien Trainor I heard. He used to take alot of fights at short notice without having time to train properly for it but now he's seemingly got the time to get training 100%.

He's a southpaw that's about all I know.


Yoda:
I am hopeless at cards, I know how to play Snap and that's about it! It would be like taking sweets from a baby, and I'll tell you this mate, if you take my sweets there will be f*ck*n hell to pay!!.......lol ;-P

IMO you will be too big for him graeme. hes only short (shorter than you lol) hes fought top guys but been stopped by most. as you say maybe cos he hasnt trained properly, but i think you will win by stoppage within 3.

Graeme and Liam, thanks for the info guys, much appreciated!

Shorter than Graeme Ness!!!???????????

Laugh it up why don't you!!.....lol

i had to laugh at that 1 myself, bet Yoda's not laughing though.

Thats a shame about lloyd getting Typhoid in Thailand. I know too well the disapointment of going to Thailand and ending up in hospital! I remember telling him to get health insurance if we was ever gonna go - hope he took my advice! Get well soon lloyd!

Great to see all these full thai fights in Scotland. Seems like muaythai is on the up and up! Good job to all those involved!

Hi Greg, just to let you know Lloyd is much better now, even started training again this week, i'll pass on your message in case he doesn't read this!

Bobby can you send craig 3 tickets for me?

Lilprincess, tickets will be posted asap and thanks for the support.

Good luck to Graeme and Dougie!

Forgot to say,I hope the show goes well and everything runs smoothly for all involved in it.I'm sure it will.

Looks like a top show,

I trained with Rung in Bangkok and really wish I could be there for this fight.

While Rung's no spring chicken, he puts 100% into both training and fighting. From what I've heard Ian is capable, so I'm sure this fight will be a cracker! Ian has a bit of a size advantage, but Rung's got a huge heart and is used to fighting bigger farang, so I'm sure the punters will get there moneys worth!

nice to have you on board Scott, thanks for sparing us and not putting up a photo on your profile , lol

Good luck to all the Caledonian fighter's, Davy (Boy) Mac do the business mate, Gordon Smith, looking slim mate LOL, Mr. Guy Ramsay our mentor, and Iain McCulley who is looking brilliant, kick some ass lads. And also good luck to James Doolan from Dinky Ninja's / Caledonian.

Good luck to all the fighters involved. This another great chance for Scottish Muay Thai to showcase some of it's best talents.

Can`t wait!! Good luck to evey body competing and good luck to Marc Hendrie who will again be wrestling with his pockets as in the five years we have attended shows together he has yet not been able to buy one round!

Predictions anyone??

prediction, yoda will talk pish all night then dodge his round, claiming he's too short to reach the bar.

lol you owe me a few beers nisbet .
all let yoda stand on ma sholders to get one in
then all stand on his for my round
see you there guys

Cheers Craig T

I told Rung to keep those photos to him self, believe me I do have a tan, it's the bright lights at Ratchadamneon, all the Thais love it 'cause their skin doesn't look so dark.

lol Scott, hes had that photo blown up so that when Louise has the baby, he can put the photo on the mantelpiece to keep his son away from the fire.

stevie

specially looking forward to see Karl Lochridge fighting
i hear he is fighting some one different any information on the new fighter

Karl is fighting Manzoor Aslam from Claedonian Muay Thai, who was fighting on John O'Brien's show in Barrhead in July and stopped Martin Carrera in the 2nd. As far as I know all of the other matches are as above. Can't believe the condition of Ian, making 61.4kg!!! Absolutely ripped, has made me feeling fat, well done mate!

Made me feel fat too!! Thanks to all fighters who made the effort to weigh in on target first time.

No!!! Your 6 inch (and not man inches!) of Fat made you feel fat! LOL

Sticks and stones Gazza!!! Im bulking up to compete in the 95kg and over class. I shall be sponsored by Greggs the bakers and will represent Scotland in the K-Bun max tournament so there!!! Ps thought you were away to the disco??

JOHN O'BRIEN IS A BAD MAN!! HE MAKES SMALL CHILDREN CRY, MY SON IS HAVING NIGHTMARES

and john! no ones called them disco's since maggie thatcher was in office.

just for the record, mansoor took this fight at v.short notice to replace an injured graeme turner. graeme, hope the jaw gets better soon, we'll see you in action soon enough. Mansoor, as ever, you have balls of steel. respect from the caley crew.

When I was boy ( when men WERE men )they were called disco`s and guys only danced when Iron Maiden AC/DC and Queen records were played. Its now a mad sad world!! guy`s actually dance and enjoy it?? Worst still, they dance to records that have no lyrics?? and ???????????? wait for it................. THEY DO IT SOBER?? Ps, Happy birthday Mrs Thatcher

As I said before Iain McCully is looking brilliant, now its time to the the business mate.

she was a hot bitch in her time!!! eh john

Yep Guy! A big thank you to Manzoor!! twice now he has taken fights at short notice (very short notice)to cover for injured fighters. It speaks volumes for the team spirit of the Caledonian fight team.

im happy, it was my first 5 rounder just need to be more confident n trust myself wich im geting closer to doing hope cant wait for next time :)

brilliant show, high drama and excitement throughout.

gotta mention a few, the gordon smith fight was real rocky stuff, micky price came out guns a blazing ,gave smith no end of trouble in the first and hammered him in the second, witha resouning 8 count the fight seemed in the bag , when his stamina went, smith turned the tables on on price and "rag dolled him" in the third, by this time price was dead on his feet and retired in his corner.

the greame ness danniel bisset was also briliant, full thai rules it waas nice and sedate in the beginning both giving and taking equally, thier was a grapple and ness seemed to slip and go down , he grabbed his nose and when he got up thier was a cut on the bridge and immediatte swelling, the first went to bissset. ness picked up in the second and managed to evade any punches or elbows to the nose to take the second round, then bammm right hook inthe early third and bisset goes down with his lights out.

rung v mucully, ian put in a briliant performance , probably one o the best i have seen and boy was he ready for it , buit rung was just too good in every dept and while ian certainly gave a superb account for himself , rung was just too good for him.

matt duncan v james doolan, last time i saw matt fight he was outstanding and went toe to toe hell for leather for the 5 rounds, he started of in the same fashion only to find james came for the same kind o fight, mid first round matt went down (hook i think) and stayed down, well doen to james


last was colin carson v dougie clarke, the fight was 1 sided in the favour of carson from the start during the first clarke went down clutching his ribs obviously winded and by a heroic effort made it back up and continued, he fought on reguardless of the barrage that was thrown at him up until, the second half of the third when ref kenny burnett stopped it, as tough and as determined as clarke was , he was taking a pounding. carson took the fight well , but i thik people will remember clarke for his sheer balls, he took the fight at 2 weeks notice against a much more experienced opponent, im sure hel be back and a lot better.

thier were a lot moer cracking fights but that was my personal highlights of the day.

well doen john , herr bob and everyone else for a cracking show,

stevie

Well done to all the fighters was a great show!!!! The highlight of the day for me was Graham Ness and Daniel Brisset's fight, what a knockout!!!

Lilp xxx

cant wait 2 see the dvd :)

A great day some great fights and a bumper crowd!! many thanks to everybody who helped make it a special show as I type this Rung is still in the Normandy bar downing beers a plenty and teaching the bar staff to dance.

Got to echo Gary`s comments about Dave Edwards, an absolute gem of a guy, not many fighters take time to thank the crowd and promoters for letting them fight. Dave if your reading this book yourself another flight and come up and sample a Scottish winter and all the beers are on me.

Big shout to Robert Weir who actually got to fight somebody his own weight and put up a fine composed performance.

Rung will probably be there when we go back for the next show! John, I notice your not offering to pay for Rung's drink, you'd need a 2nd Mortgage!

To be fair to Rab, Dave at 54kg was still heavy for our little midget, who walks around about 52, I reckon he could actually cut to under 50, I would love to see him fight someone around 50-52kg!

It was also great to see Marc Hendrie there, he must have got bail??

Re: gary O'brien " I notice your not offering to pay for Rung's drink, you'd need a 2nd Mortgage!


ha hah ah aha haha ahaah aha ha aha ah aha ah aha ah aha ha ah aha ha ha ah ah h ah Am on me 48th mortgage with going out drinking with him ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Top show guys well done!

Christian

play that funky music white boy

Would just like to wish Daniel all the best and hope he's OK. Sound lad!

The cut nose incident was the result of me falling against the ropes in the clinch and Daniel falling in to - it was just unlucky that he caught me with his head on the beak as we fell......Shit happens.

Lost the first round!!????????????????????????? Hummm!

Didn't look/feel that way to me nor alot of people watching!!

very close mtk, dont be offended,

Rung was too good in every department ??????? Don't think so, maybe I was watching a different fight.

maybe you were

Well done to all the fighters, once again the bar has been raised by Scottish Muay Thai.
Big respect goes to Colin STBA Morton, a very skilful and talented fighter with a huge future ahead of him. You’ve won the respect of everyone at the GTBA and we’re looking forward to supporting you in your future fights. MTK, your fight has to be a strong contender for knock out of the year, spectacular!
John Dick, once again you’ve made me and everyone connected with the GTBA immensely proud, John O’Brien I am ashamed of you for being associated with Scotland’s answer to Simon Cowel, Stevie Nisbit.

thanks mark your a gentleman :) cant wait 2 see some pics never saw any fights apart from karls and colin carsons

Sounds like a great show and well done to all the caledonian lads, especially Gordon, nice one mate

Yep really good show! I was actually quite dissapointed at the amount of knock outs! Most of them were surprisingly equal fights, but then a lucky punch lands and bam it's over before it began. I wish some had got to go the distance as they would have been brilliant to see! However it was really good anyway!
Another great show from the S.T.B.A...well done guys! :)
Out of curiosity MTK, how do you feel about fighting Dave Edwards in few weeks?

eh firstly i just want to say thanks to colin for the fight had a fantastic time before durin and after cheers mate hope to see u soon!!! and what another great show bobby, eileen, john, and everyone else involved uve outdone urselves once again! and last but not least marc and the rest of the gtba for all the help in gettin me where i am today. thanks!!!

Just another fight Louise.

cannea see him giving you too much bother

Dave Edwards.... as Gary says, nicest guy in the sport and a great attitude, hope to see you entertain again soon.

Anyone got any photos?

Well Stevie nisbet... You should have asked someone who's not the most forgetful person in our gym! lol

Plus!!...I was trying to look serious and professional!!...Anyone think I did?????? Ha! :)

no

ditto

Only kidding Loo, you looked like a real pro (pretty woman style) lol!

Have to agree with my esteemed colleagues!

Louise, dont listen to them. You done a grand job and a very professional one at that.......:-)

Scotland's most un-cool thai boxing instructor! And yes...including marc hendrie!

thats harsh, you've seen marc dancin,thats gotta make him the uncoolest by a mile

Good show lads. Thanks to bobby for the great hospitality...im only outta bed now after a great weekend.. Also thanks to Davy macIntosh for the great sportsmanship to my fighter (conor) after the fight.

Loo, my mum say's I'm too cool for school besides you practically begged me to sit beside you, as you didn't want people thinking you were chilling with your grandfather. Stevie, I paid John O'Brien a lot of money to teach me to dance like that.

No problem corkmuaythai, conor seemed like a top guy and i really enjoyed the fight, obviously i wish it hadnt ended how and when it did because i felt it was turning out to be a good fight, but i know these things happen and it s just the nature of the sport. Tell him i said good luck for any fights coming up and you never know, maybe we can get a rematch sometime in the future.

another fantastic and well put together show from john and bobby,some realy good fighters to,and muay thai king i got to agree with stevie the first round of ure fight was very close infact i think it was very even.anyway well done to all the fighters involved especialy dougie clark ,he showed great fighting spirit and true determination a real muay thai warrior lol
