No girls fighting on this one? I though there were a few good up and coming females in Scotland now? Looks like a good show though, good luck!

Ps I demand that you all be impressed that I managed to attatch the poster on this post!!!

Uncle Johnny, you took me by surprise. Thought you would need to rely on Mikey again to attach the poster.lol
Best of luck with the show. Some excellent match-ups.

Is this Tims ISKA World Title DEFENCE?

Kirsten we simply didn't have any female fighters available to us, despite their quality, there is a lack in quantity of female fighters up here unfortunitely.

Noi I think its his second defence, as he was meant to be defending it before, but not sure if it went ahead or not.

BTW, this is Gary, not John, having to hijack his account as my password doesn't work anymore! Eileen, you should have known better! LOL

Yes Tim is defending his title Noi.

im sure he won the world title without elbows? this may sound real iggnorant and i dont want to offend anyone but who is lloyd cochran i aint up to speed with the goings on in scotland i only know about 3 fighters and they are from caledonian.

Hi Liam, check out Llloyds profile on here. You will get some info of who he has faught on it. Hope it helps.

Big Up the Caledonian Massive. Aye!

LLoyd is current ISKA British champion, and soon to be ISKA world champion.As his manager I know that Lloyd has a genuine chance of taking this title and it`s a cracking match up. Coaches and fighters be aware that 500 of these tickets have already gone!!

good luck LLOYD . it looks a great show MR O Brien respect would like to see alan do well all the BEST to all who are fighting on this show

cheers did he beat rung?

Lloyd might not be a big name outside of scotland but after this fight i think everyone will stand up and take notice as he is world class!

Lloyds fight with Rung was declared a draw. Myself amd most of the audience who were there felt we LLoyd won easily. Lloyd is just returning to his peak after suffering from a series of illness which meant he could`nt fight to the best of his abilities. LLoyd will be 110% ready for Tim Thomas. Those who have`nt heard of him before will know who he is after October.

lloyd hurts me lol this fight is going 2 be real good i honestley think lloyd will be walking away with this tytle :D

You must be Colin Morton who should be out doing road work???

well, he was 5 kg heavier than me!

I`m not dissing Rung he`s my hero!!

welcome to ax rung

i hunners of road work the burger van's moved further down the road unconsiderate bas yeah the weights not as terrible as i thaught itd be lol :D

STBA Scottish Welterweight Title (67kg)
Alan Jamieson (NKT Paisley) Vs. Stevie Meikle (Caledonian) (5x3mins FTR)

does this mean Rab has been stripped of his title?

Back on AX!

Rab's unfortunitely decided to retire, so the titles now vacant and these two are the first in line for it!

As for Lloyd, he's been one of our best fighters for years and i can promise it will be a tough fight for Tim. If he thinks he'll be coming up for an easy defence then he'll get a shock! Lloyd is one of our top fighters and its our responsability to get him every opportunity we can, I also believe he'll show his quality against Tim. I'm really looking forward to this matchup, I think their styles will make for an exciting bout!

The first fight between Jamieson and Meikle was also a close and exciting fight at Clellend last year, so that should be a good one to.

Anyone predictions? I think on paper they are all close matchups, well I would say that!

ISKA World Welterweight Title (66.8kg)
Lloyd Cochran (NKT Paisley) Vs. Tim Thomas (Nuk Soo)(5x3mins FTR)

**Tim Thomas to WIN - Points**

Aw that’s a shame; Rab was a good fighter and was getting better with each fight. I wish him luck for the future.

Man im kinda bias but I think Stevie has become a stronger fighter since the last fight so im going with him winning the title in another exciting fight.

As for the headliner well Tim Thomas has been kinda unpredictable of late but i still think he is technically superior to Cochran. Thomas win via stoppage on a good night or Points.

Davie Mac has been real strong and sharp in training and is well up for his fight looking to end an unlucky run of late.

should be another great show!

(Gary is there any chance you could send me a copy of the POS dvd when its ready mate?)

There goes your free ticket Graeme Lol.

he's not ending it with me im afraid ;p

lol

LLOYD to win allan to win and john douglas to win cant wait to see JD fight after his fighting& training in Thailand watch out for kieran & ritchie .colin to win if he can hide from LLoyd at training lol allan v stevie m it will be a hard 1 for allan stevie is good and also just back from thailand and on a high respect to the 2 mr O BRIENS cant wait

ISKA World Welterweight Title (66.8kg)
Lloyd Cochran (NKT Paisley) Vs. Tim Thomas (Nuk Soo)(5x3mins FTR)- its not gonnay be easy tims the champ for a reason but i think Lloyd can take win this

STBA Scottish Welterweight Title (67kg)
Alan Jamieson (NKT Paisley) Vs. Stevie Meikle (Caledonian) (5x3mins FTR)- This is gonnay be a close one if alan fights the way he fought at the POS then he'll do well but stevies a really good fighter and has improved alot since being in thailand

John Douglas (NKT Paisley) Vs. Chris Shaw (Wossobama)(5x2mins, B-Class) 67kg - douglas win
Ed the Jinja Ninja (NKT Paisley)Vs. Manzoor Aslam (Caledonian)(5x2mins) 66kg

still trying to match John Boy Cullen at 63 8 fights, any takers??

Got my ticket guys

Good luck to O'B Promotions (is this a new brand name ?)

Fantastic to see a Scot getting a crack at a world title. Big Big good luck to Lloyd. I'll be shouting for you!
We all saw Tim at POS and although it wasn't the most energetic fight, he showed a lot of craft and subtlty.
Great to have a fight of this calibre take place in Scotland.

The other fights look pretty savoury as well

Looking forward to it

gary d. i think your favourin your own boys with those predictions.
why arent you fighting?

not many people know this but in an effort to get publicity for this show, John O'Brien turned up for the auditions for X factor in Glasgow, sang wings beneath my wings then handed the 3 judges complimentary tickets. what a man!!!!!

stevie

I did`nt win though

I agree with gary D's predictions except I will add Alan Jamieson to win.

Tommy, I'll give you a shout once they arrive mate, shouldn't be long now!

BLZBUB, yeah O'B Promotions is the promotions company that John and I will be doing the shows under, so you will have to put up with the branding! LOL

On a side note, anyone that has got a ticket will notice the advert for POS 2 on the back. It looks like we will be using pre-assigned seating at the next big event on the 4th March 07, which means the earlier you book the ticket the more choice of seating you'll have! Saying that, the angle on the seating of the Arena means that the people in the gods have a good view as well! Tickets are expected to go on sale in early November, but we will be realeasing an earlier batch at the Normandy. Should hopefully have more details in the next week or so.

its not a case of just backing my own guys everyone backs there own guys when shows come up if u didn't then theres something not right. i'v been training and training with some of the guys and know what shape they are in, and im not saying that its going to be a walk over its gonnay be tough i have alot of respect for the other fighters and their ability.

fair enuff but you still havent told me when youll be settin foot in the ring again ya lazy bstrd. r u goin to be fightin this year?
hows john lookin ,must be ill lookin at 67 kg.i'm fightin at 61kg already been told i look like a junky an the fights not for 3 weeks yet

Sorry John, Lloyd is a sound guy but just think Tim is technically better, saying that if Tim fights the way he did at Braehead then Lloyd would have him. Am I anyway closer to redeeming myself for a freebie???....lol

Saying that, anyone who would stoop so low as to sing a Westlife track is no-one I'd like to associate myself with. John who you say??....lol ;-P

awrite kieth im no where near ready to go back in need to get my fitness sorted out lol, pretty sure hes fighting at 68kg, hes lookin really good stronger than ever since he came back from thailand

where u fighting?

Jordan how can you predict a T.K.O bet you £20 its not.

Andy

Cheers Jordan, ill do my best. Andy, dont think Jordans got £20 to bet, hes 13.

How about a family sized bag of Revel's then.

Andy

i want in on it if thats the prize

IT'S ON

youve got a weight to make Jordan, i might just take a fall so you dont get fat!

revels would be good if it wasnt for the stinky coffe 1 i h8 em :D

can any instructor or fighter who has`nt been issued their ticket quota for this show get in touch asap, we have only one ringside table left, so whoever pays first secures it. Looking forward to it immensely.

I can almost taste the Revels

i have been ill recently and very unpredictable as of late but i'm back to my old self now and training has been going well - i'm really looking forward to this one and hopefully i can show a few people that i'm a worthy champ!

We all know you're a worthy champion Tim!
You'll be taken very seriously up here in Scotland, and be given a warm welcome.

Obviously i'll be supporting the local boy, but I wish you well

Oh, and Tim, I think it says a lot about you that you're prepared to defend your title up here. Respect!!!!!!

Hopefully ill be able to make it along to this, cant wait to see GTBAs very own John M fighting, should be good!

Still looking for an opponent for John Boy Douglas 63.5kgs!!!

I meant to say John Boy Cullen @63.5 forgive me i`m losing my sanity.

Just to add, John Cullen has had 7 fights, 3wins and 4losses, but a better fighter than his record suggests.

There has been a few changes to the lineup, but most of the pull-outs have been replaced, I will try and post the updated lineup later once everyone has been informed of changes.

Nearly there now, and I can`t wait!!! John Douglas V Chris Shaw promises to be an absolute belter two of Scotland best young fighters of recent years meet in the ring for the first time.

Thanks Rdouble. Peter & Colin, Lloyd weighed in bang on weight and is acually looking well, which isn't something we've been able to say at recent weigh-ins! LOL

Here is Tim and Lloyd at the weigh-in, sorry about the blatent POS2 plug!

Unfortunitly we had a pull out on one of the main bouts, Alan Jamieson got kicked in the leg and chest by one of his cows (he's a farmer before anyone asks). Andy O'Brien has kindly stepped in at last minute to help us and Stevie out.

Here is Stevie and Andy at the weigh-in, again sorry about the plug!

Good luck to everyone fighting gonnay be good quality fights, have to agree with gaz Lloyd did look well for once lol, unfortunatley for stevie he isnt getting to fight the rules he wanted which must be disapointing but for andy to step in at the last minute takes some set of plums.

I am just going out wearing a ski mask and carrying a chain saw to search the hills for the cow who assaulted Alan Jamieson!

Bring the cow to me!

I'll despatch it and have it back to you within 2 hours, freezer ready!

chokdee to all fighters...keep us informed of all the results! :)

Looking fwd to the Cochran V Thomas result...

ill eat the feckin thing

sorry to here about alan I was looking forward to his fight respect to Andy O BRIEN.

Sorry to hear this, hope he's ok.

P.S Was he practicing his moo-thai on it.

Can't believe I'm sitting here trying to think of cow puns, I dare say I'd get a PAT on the back if i could think of one.

Richie Hocking NKT v Ally McBride Wossobama. Points win to McBride

Martin Carrera NKT v Kevin Cardwell Base MT. Points win to Cardwell

John Douglas NKT v Chris Shaw Wossobama. Points win to Shaw

Andrew O'Brien NKT v Stevie Meikle Caledonian. O'Brien retired by corner

Lloyd Cochran NKT v Tim Thomas Nuk Soo. Points win to Thomas

good fights gratz to all

John McClelland GTBA. Points win to McClelland nice work john Big Gratz

Congratulations to Tim on retaining his world title. It was a great fight to watch. 5 rounds of non-stop action. Overall, Tim showed why he is champion, but it has to be said that the gap between him and Lloyd was not huge by any means. I really believe that Lloyd can use today as a learning experience and will hopefully become one of our nations 'Greats' in the near future.

Big round of applause to the officials as well. I thought that the ISKA would have sent their own people, but was impressed to see all Scottish officials looking after the title bout, and giving a very creditable and fair minded performance. It shows that fighters from around the world can come to Scotland and be sure of being looked after by really professional judges and referees.
Have to say that the standard of officials is reaching an all together 'higher level' these days. Whatever you guys are doing ..... please keep it up!

Great show.

McAskill/ White was a great fight. Someone told me that it was White's first fight? If so - kudos to him.

Well done to Stevie Meikle on winning his belt and to Tim Thomas for holding on to his.

Shame some of the crowd had to be so vociferous with anti-Thomas chants and boos rather than pro-Cochran shouts.

oops, sorry!

I do agree with Szandor about the (small) minority of bams who behaved very badly toward a world champion. The guy showed utter class in coming up here to defend his belt, and should have been treted with maximum respect.

These gits should all be given a T-shirt which reads "Instant arsehole, just add lager".

We should use forums like this to name and shame them!

Thanks john and gary for puting on a great show. Cant wait for the power of scotland 2. Hope its as good a lineup as this show was. Would Luv to see Lloyd & Tim. john D & CHRIS shaw R.E match at power of scotland 2.A great fight well done to all 4.All fighters done well .on my wish list to O'B Promotions I would like to see Kieran Mc. on P.O.S.2 Great fight today ,what about Jake D.Also on this EVENT ?

It was great to see Stevie Shedden & Stevie Houston working in the corners respect.hopfuly Allan J. Will be fit for p.o.s2

The two Stevies are my heros and I thank them for all the advice (which I clearly ignored cos im stupid). Both of them would die in the corner if thats what was required, great blokes and great fighters.

Andy O'Brien

I`ve just returned from dropping Tim off at his hotel and he asked me to pass on his thanks to the Normandy crowd. He said that he had heard some of the boos but was actually truley surprised by the warmth of his reception. His coach Jon Graham was deeply appreciative of the way he was treated and cheered by the crowd. A milliion thanks to everybody who attended, and to all fighters and coaches, who pulled out all the stops to help us out!!!

Ilove U john, you my 4th favourate brother.

ANdy

Oh well done John Douglas one of my favourate fighters plums the size of an elephant. Put in at that thw deep end from the start but very classy this boy will be world champion, Guaranteed.

Andy

i was sitting ringside and didnt hear any anti thomas chanting, he was cheered into the ring and given respect when he won, i was proud that a fighter of that callibre caould come up here and get a fair descicion and a respectfull welcome

stevie

What do you mean by "Put in at the Deep End", please explain this as it looks as though you are putting a taint on Chris Shaw's win ???? If John Doudlas will be a World Champion in you're opinion which is fair enough then what will Chris Shaw be then, because from what I've been told he was class.

Eh i never saw the fight, this was an a opinion I had already formed.

Andy O

Stevie,

There was lots of booing, and I also heard a 'kick his f***ing head in', which is, I feel, outwith the spirit of the sport.

Strange that you didn't hear the booing though, I felt it was loud enough for all in the room to hear.

Ihr wertlosthats, die gerade schauen, um Mühe zu rühren. Ich weiß nicht, was Ihr Problem ist, aber wachse auf.
Andy

Ihr wertlosthats, die gerade schauen, um Mühe zu rühren. Ich weiß nicht, was Ihr Problem ist, aber wachse auf.
Andy

John Douglas will learn a lot from todays bout, he`s a promising fighter but today he met an exceptional young fighter. It was great to see Chris in the ring again and I forgot just how good a fighter he is! Chris has an old head on young shoulders a fantastic work rate and great all round fighting skills. What a flipping physique he has( I`ll never be cheeky to him again. It will have been the first time most of the crowd will have seen and they must have been impressed!! He`s got to be a big hope for the future!!

Szandor, like i said i was ringside and didnt hear anything detrimental

Rungs just won by the way!! Maximum respect to him, lets chip in and buy him a kilt??

The bad behaviour came mainly from one of the table groups. Incidentally, it was exactly the same group that shouted abuse at Rung when he came out for his second fight at POS. That should narrow things down!

got an idea who they were,

i didn't hear anything but i got a good photo of a couple of very dodgy looking characters

oops.

Good show...
Was there primarily to see Stevie Meikle and he really didn't dissapoint.
Meikle put in a class performance and in my opinion controlled every second of the fight. Whether striking or clinching he seemed stronger and didn't once stop coming forward. Well done Stevie, a great representation of yourself and your club.

The young guy with the soltaire shorts (not sure of his name) was excellent against a very confident opponent, probably fight of the day (IMO).

Feck!

Look at those teeth.

They look like a pair of pianos.

Big thanks to john and gaz for giving us the chance to fight at the normandy every fighter would love to have that opportunity.

definitley love to have a rematch between chris shaw and john at the power of scotland 2, both guys are certainly the future of muaythai in scotland and no matter what peoples opinion are on these fighters both are really young (which people seem to forget sometimes) and can only get better. Totally agree with Gabber boy john is a class act and people who know john and train with john know what he's capable of, nobodys taking anything away from chris another class act and he put in a great performance but john will take this on the chin and come back bigger and stronger.

Congrats to kieran best performance to date. for once he listened to the corner and done exactly what was asked of him, well done wee man.

unlucky andy o started off well but didnt see the rest as i was collecting ticket money lol sorry!!!. congrats to stevie crackin big guy and worthy champion.

already said my peace to lloyd but you showed that theres no gap in class between you and the big boys in england so hopefully people will stand up and take notice and the big fights will start comin more often the whole of scottish muaythai should be proud of you.

Its all been said before but an excellent show by the O'Bs!
Had a great time, thanks alot boys. Well done to everyone, fights were brilliant

HUGE well done to John M! Although, win or not, falling over the ropes will never be acceptable :p

Big thanks to Gary and John for the chance to fight on this show. Obviously i was disapointed with the late pull out of Alan but these things happen, hope we get the chance to get a real title fight sometime soon, as i still see Alan and Rab Burt as the two best technical and physical fighters at 67kg in Scotland by a long shot, who i hope to get the chance to go up against in the future.

Impressed by John Douglas, think John has great technique while Chris Shaw has the power. A rematch between these two would be an great prospect, but think if it was under full thai John would force a stoppage through cut as he is much the smarter muay thai fighter.

Didnt get a chance to see most of the other fights but well done to Tim Thomas, never looked in trouble and thoroughly deserved the win. Heard a lot of negative comments from the audience but these were mostly from the drunken and ignorant minority. Great guy also, had a good laugh in the changing rooms and know he will be out romancing the Glasgow girls tonight.

Thanks to everyone at Caledonian for all their help and support for the fight, think we have the strongest pool of Scottish fighters just now and have the potential to show our dominance in the Scottish Thai Boxing scene at most weights in the near future.

If anyone wants to challenge me for the title they will have to step up to 'full thai' rules as i believe this is the way to give STBA titles greater standing and improve the level and reputation of proper muay thai in Scotland.

Just wait Mr Nisbet, pay back time is fast approaching....lol

This is chris shaw can someone please explain to me why john douglas had better technique than me? even thought he is a really good fighter, i was never under any preasure in the fight, and felt my technique was pretty dam good.

Nice one Stevie! Some of your pix from Normandy New Breed courtesy of Tommy now up on the Caley site.

Evil Al here.. hijacking jojo's account. Well done to John and Gary for a well run show. All fights were superb. Good to see so many clubs working with each other.Good fight with Tim and Lloyd, Tim picked away at Lloyd well and did'nt allow him to move in the clinch. Golden Boy (although Golden Balls sounds better)proved to be a great sportsman before and after his defeat to Ally Mcbride, young Richie was excellent and shows great potential for the future and he's a nice guy with no attitude.To pass a small comment on John Douglas and Chris Shaw, I thought the fight was excellent and John provided a display of excellent Muay Thai, he has great technical ability.This was Chris's first outing for a long time and first senior fight. He did lack a certain sharpness and was a bit ring rusty, he was also suffering from a sheep incident but thats only because he's from Ayrshire..he was looking for the power shots but that will be worked on,although as far as power goes he displayed that fairly well. I also thought his technique was fairly effective and precise from where I was watching it from. as far as a re-match goes we're up for it. Chris will be benching two elephants instead of one and jumping over two houses instead of one for his plyo work, he'll be hitting bigger tractor tyres with the sledge hammer and we'll increase his 30 mile road reps to sets of 15 instead of 10 and as for the what ifs if it were a full thai rules fight etc then the only cut Chris would receive would be his haircut the day before the fight.

does anyone else notice the strong resemblance that Steven Meikle has with Nathan "Carnage" Corbett? and from the sounds of it he seems to perform like him as well!

well done Steven! congratulations

Mark

i didnt see any fights appart from ritchie and lloyds both did great and should be proud. i think lloyds fight was close but didnt perform 2 his best (or how he traind 2 fight lol) he has the skill to beat tim just never came thru and tim was the better on the night congrats 2 tim cant wait for a rematch. well done garry and john for puting this show together cant wait for p.o.s 2,p.s andy ob you are a warior for takeing the tytle fight in a days notice muchos respectola ;px

well done tim see you at superfights in nov.

Your right al saying that ritchie is a good sportsman in and outside of the ring and is a credit to his club and training partners but obviously youre not with the last comment about if it was full rules pretty disrespectful to johns ability.

johns a good fighter but thought he had an off day. but chris shaw looked huge for 17. you say he hasnt fought for a while, i think thats becoz hes been standing in for the hulk whos been havin a break. i was sittin at ringside didnt hear any anti thomas chants, but said sometimes i couldnt hear the bell which i think was the problem with tam muir (i think thats who it was). tim was always in control of the fight.

well done ALL the fighters.All the young guys were well up for it but Chris Shawn (pardon the pun).Stevie M,brilliant fight, looked like a big white thai in there.Great show.

Keepyergaurdup, Chris Shaw turned 16 in July this year,
Gary D i don't think Alan was being disrespectful,he stated on his post that he has total respect for John as a fighter, but as Chris's trainer he knows better than anybody Chris's ability.Good show though, credit to all the fighters and well done to "Wee Ally" him and Ritchie had a good wee tussle.

Its chris shaw here what do you mean that i wasn't up for it?

just turned 16. fckin hell hes still got at least 3 years growth.

Hopefully his looks will improve with age as well!
Only kidding Christabel. xxx

Only making comment on Mr meikles remark(we'll ignore the smarter comment as pish anyway). I dont believe I said anything disrespectful about John but if he wishes a re-match then any rules will suit us.

I never made the show yesterday but the Chris Shaw vs John Douglas fight was the one fight i had been looking forward to as i thought it had the potential to be very entertaining. I have seen Chris Shaw fight a couple of times and he has always seemed a very powerful young guy, also John Douglas was really impressive at POS with a comfortable win over a very experienced opponent. From what i have been told it was a good fight with BOTH showing good skill and technique.

thanks davy, this is what its all about, both the boys were fantastic, chris has trained for 12 years and has alot of experience, what we saw of john his technique was superb. definately one to watch in the future.

No problem, im sure both guys will do well in the future especially seeing as they ve only had a few adult fights between them so far.

Have they now got computers in Ayrhire????

this is wossobama jojo,i thought the show was super.
big well done to all the fighters!
i really think its alot of rubbish....people who are on this thread that are being disrespectful to other fighters should realise as fighters themselves how much work goes into a fight.when you win fair and square in the ring.why anyone wants to pi*h on your win...i do not understand.everyones allowed their own opinion but come on there is a line.

chris trained so so hard for this and deserved the win, im so proud of him!
he's my champ hands down!!

also thought tim was amazing to watch as was lloyds love handles and hairy chest.lol

dont suppose he's any relation to john o brien?

Please do not take the comment about John and Chris out of context, both guys fought really well and i was merely stating my opinion on a hypothetcial situation based on seeing John fight before and seeing him training out in Thailand. I chat to him regularly and so may have a biased view on this. I did not say Chris lacked technique at all just that i think John has very good technique, and Chris has great power for someone his age. No disrepect was meant, both are great prospects, please do not try to find negativity where there is none.

LLoyd....................you have plenty of championship belts to put around your waiste....six pack or not.
I am still to see you fight but i am looking forward to it...........Average fighters are not champions either........keep training hard...eat well and rest well this will get you to where you want to be........dugs wear off...hard work lasts.

Which club would that be then ?? I am sure that many people would like to know. I certainly wouldn't want anyone from our club fighting someone who was cheating. So name and shame them,there is no place in MT for people like that.

That's a pretty strong accusation Loyd, know doubt if you seen it with your own eyes then you can safely name and shame the fighter and gym.
But well done you and your love handles were good to watch.Lol.

I hope you didn't take offense to me joking around, and if you did i apoligise. I thought you would take it light hearted like I know John ob will. As far as you said "fat average scrappy thai boxer", you are obviously not as your record shows, and your title shot.

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding

no proplems jo jo, im sorry i was so touchy. i'v always been the fat kid lol.
and have no sence of humour lol.
i think ill stay away from internet chatrooms as im so easyly pist off, ill spend the time doing sit ups instead and get rid of these god dam love handles.
though its
all stored energy lol, i was 66.8 at weigh in and 72 kilos at the fight.

Lloyd you have made a VERY serious accusation about a certain gym and their instructor, are you not going to name the said person and if not then why post the comment in the first place.

Guys this isn't the place to be talking about stuff like this! It has no place in the sport obviously, but also this is no place for this discussion! These are the things that hold our sport back, so please do it off line!

When is the DVD coming out? I'm gutted I missed the war between Marc Whyte and Kieran McCaskil, prepping John meant that I only caught the tail end of the last round.
Big respect to Gavin Speirs, you hit like a jackhammer and have a chin that must be made of granite mate.
Also well done to the BO brothers for another excellent promotion.

Nesbit, you're on the list as is Blzbub "pair of pianos"? by all means comment on my huge organ but leave my pianos out of this. ;-)

fair play lloyd if you seen it then it needs sorting out, due to the nerves issues with fighting ephedrine dont do a great deal for a fighter anyhow, BUT if it is projected as some sort of wonder drug by someones coach it can have an effect on your mind more than anything and people who are happy to cheat would get a lift from it. Ive trained at places in the past that have used it but i know you cant be talking about Tim Thomas and his coach as my little brother fights for naksoo and they never have or would touch it. Anyone interested in the effects should watch the movie CRANK, good film and its all based around pseudoephedrine and Phentermine found in nasal inhalers and Sudafad etc, the guy out of lock stock basically gets smashed on it and goes around knocking the sh*t out of people! Fat you maybe ;-) but to go in and put in a solid performance against someone like Tim is not average, hope to see you fight soon.

First time I've had a chance to post, sorry its a bit late!

Thanks to everyone involved on Sunday, we finally got there and from what I seen it was a good show with some good fights! I thought Lloyd showed that he deserved to be in the ring with Tim and although Lloyd wasn't at his best it was a close fight. I thought Lloyd was scoring better in the early rounds but seemed to struggle with his breathing when he burst his nose. Neither of the fighters seemed under any great pressure throughout, but Tim seemed the stronger fighter in the end! As far as his reception, you are always going to get a few people at shows who don't understand the spirit of the sport, but I thought Tim's reception wasn't far off Lloyds and I was very releaved at his warm welcome, as he deserves it for coming up and putting his title on the line!

I thought Andy O'B deserves a lot of credit for taking the fight at short notice. I know it wasn't the rules that Stevie had trained for or wanted but if Andy hadn't stepped up there would have been no fight. From what I seen Stevie was winning well, but Andy made him fight for it.

John and Chris's fight was highly anticipated, but I thought both boys have another gear. You forget that these two fighters are just boys and its unfair to have such high expectations of them! I understand what Stevie M was saying about technique and power. Chris is a talented fighter without a doubt and has been around for a long time, but in terms of technique I'd say John understands how to play the Muay Thai game better. In terms of going forward, I think John has the potential to be the best all round fighter we've ever produced, but he needs time to develop and won't be helped by people like me putting even more expectations on him! However, Chris more than made up for it with his strength and conditioning on Sunday and used it very well in the fight. I also think john didn't look the same fighter when he went over the ropes at the start of the fight and just seemed dazed. Both have a great future and will be an asset to the Scottish scene.

Obviously this is a biased view as I train him, but thought young Kieran MacAskill was the best fighter of the night. He has an abundance of natural talent, but I had to push him very hard over the last few months to get his mental toughness up, almost too far sometimes, as he was nervous about making the step to full head contact and fighting adults. He quickly realised that I had hit him a lot harder in training and that he had nothing to really fear. There was a few points where he nearly punched himself out going for a KO. But for the most part he displayed a good understanding of the scoring system and monitored the fight throught. He'd create a few good scores and then a few more to make sure he was ahead with the judges and then used his teep to protect the points, really proud of him!

Again thanks everyone for helping to put the show on!

dont know who your talking about but that is a serious accusation!
if they are using drugs to improve performance it is wrong and should be outlawed!

(thaisoon): the word your looking for is placebo-effect....
if you give someone a smartie and tell them that this will give them super-human strength then they will act in that way...simple psychology.

choose the red pill.... :)

im sorry i wrote it now.
i got pist off and retaliated.
gary your right it isnt the place and it doesnt help the sport so im sorry i said it.
as iv already said ill be staying away from chatrooms as im easyly offended.
if ax can remove the coment then please do so.
and it wasnt aimed at tim as he is the total opposit lol, as cool and laid back as u could be. never getting flustered.

cool just wanted to clear that up as tims sound. richard wordsworth cadden you walking dictionary you always manage to find a word! By the way the booing and shouting is expected away from home as long as its not racist or whatever its part of the game really.

Just to clear the air, Ive spoke to Lloyd and he wasnt making his point about anyone involved in this show. Can anybody who has complaints or observations about the shows we promote have the common courtesy to address them to me first before posting them up here. Thanks to everybody involved in the show, and at the next fights I`ll be taking my top off so as you can see real love handles.

We'll need a bigger and stronger ring then!

If it wasn't about anyone on this show then why put it on this thread then ??? 2 days after this show ??

for fuck sake, what a fucking hassel this has caused.
i retract the post.
and can people stop sending me emails, for fuck sake get a life.

iv now emailed ax and asked them to remove it.

any attachments in the mails?

cool lloyd,im sorry i need to learn not to be cheeky!!but its just me, wee cheeky me :(

please dont john.........nnnnoooooooooooo!!!!! lol

Lloyd is blatantly talking about the GTBA, look at the sheer size and brute strength of the mighty YODA!
I doubt its eating his greens, drinking his milk and taking his vitamins that has created the monster he is today, it MUST be drugs, and lots of them!

(Joking BTW)

Now that we`ve all calmed down a little where are the photos that I paid 3 photographers for??

This is Alan Currie writing.. Could I please have clarification from Lloyd Cochrane on the statement that he posted earlier when he has replied to JOJO a member of my gym which obviously makes direct reference to my gym, my business, my ethics and my professional reputation!. Can you provide me with a statement of fact on these accusations and in particular to the facts that you have stated that you have seen with your own eyes. You have stated and I quote from your previous post
"I should be training at a gym that pumps their fighters full of drugs"
and also
"i was always impressed by the fitness and aggression of a certain club before i "seen" them taking ephidriene before there fights, given to them by there instructor. that hole none stop attacking style for every round of the fight never seeming to get tired."
This matter will be pursued further when you post your response.

Thank you.

Lloyd wont be commenting on this issue any further he`s already apologised and the conclussios that you`ve drawn have been your own, lets now keep this private thanks.

I like fighting Full Thai rules, only choose not to do so cos I hadn't been training for elbows or knees to the head. Everyone knows ur clich technique is entirely different when using full thai. I had also been training weights before the fight( since I thought I would not be fighting) not the best prep for boxing.
I dont like they way it's being inferred that I was scared to take it on as full thai was just not prepared for it, If I had any reasonable amount of notice then it would not have been a problem.

Andy.

Ok lets bk to the orginal topic lol !!

I had a great day out enjoyed myself an the fights well for what i seen anyway and would like to see some pics so where are they ? lol

It's Chris Shaw here can anyone tell me when the dvd of the show will be out?

OOPS!!!!

I've made it onto Yodas list.

I refuse to enter into any dialogue whatsoever on the subject of your (alleged) huge organ. Furthermore, should you ever attempt to exhibit the afore mentioned appendage in my presence, I will have no hesitation in dragging you off to the home of my good friend, and moral confidante, Madame Fifi, who will be more than happy to administer a sound lashing to your rear.

Dont mention the word DVD, lol
DVD is will be out when i finish it probably by the end of the week, was tying up The DVD for the Martial Mayhem 2 Event from last week, So copies should be available by next week as John Obrien will have the master copy by the start of the week. (Fingers crossed as uni is killing me just now)

As for the show i rather enjoyed it and i took a bunch of complete novices along to see it, they were all impressed by Chris Shaw as was i. I thought he had been out in Thailand and asked what gyms he had been training at, he said none. lol. You are doing a good job down there in Wossobama, keep it up !!

The title fight was interesting and was more a batttle of tactics than a war. With tim landing the cleaner shots, Lloyd though didnt know what backwards meant and he tried to push forward all the way to the end. Nobody ever really being rocked the whole fight or in any real danger, Tim just notched up more points and saved a little in reserve for the final round.

Good show guys!

Totally agree, you're doing a brilliant job Aldo keep it up mate, loads of good fighter's from the Wossobama gym. Chris Shaw is one of them, he is class and so are the rest, end of.

hi,just a thanks to John OB for a great experience and excellent show!! thouroughly enjoyed it up in Scotland as always,if there is a DVD can one be sent to me, i would be very garteful.. thanks again and i'd always be willing to fight on any show up there again.

Hi Tim, glad you enjoyed it! I'll send you the DVD along with the POS DVD as soon as its ready.

Sorry for the late response to this. Loyd requested the comments be removed earlier today, but we didn't see it until just now.
