Power Of Scotland 7 returns to the Lagoon Arena on Saturday 28th November 2009. The Lagoon has proved to be a great venue for POS and the setup just adds to the great fight action!


Just waiting on a few more bouts to get confirmed, but in the mean time, here is the current lineup:



A Class

John Dick (GTBA, SCOTLAND) Vs. Gaylord Montier (FRANCE) (56kg)

John Dick needs no introduction to the POS crowd, the current No.1 Featherweight in the UK, STBA Scottish Champion, IKF British Champion, ISKA British Champion is out for another tough International challenge, as he takes on the hard hitting Montier. Montier, has a reputation in mainland Europe as top fighter with real KO Power and is sure to be another tough challenge for one of the nation’s favourite fighters.

Stevie Meikle (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Leeroy Morgado (Super Gym, ENGLAND) (67kg)

After a successful year of fighting in Thailand, Stevie Meikle is back to make an assault on the 67kg UK Rankings, first of all taking on Ranked No. 7 Leeroy Morgado. Leeroy is a highly respected fighter who has mixed it with some of the best and will be determined to defend his spot in the rankings!

Gulapkaw Boapbapbam (POS Fight Team, THAILAND) Vs. Robin Downer (NKT Barrhead, SCOTLAND) (60kg)

After only seeing a glimpse of what Gulapkaw can add to the fight scene in Scotland, the Thai fighter is hoping to find his feet and start showing his true potential. He takes on the very tough and relentless Robin Downer, an energetic figher who has fought his way through the ranks and only last month turned in one of the best performances in the country this year, as he defeated the top veteran Matt Duncan, to show that he is arguably one of the top young fighters in the country just now.

Jordan Calder (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Jonno Chipchase (MFA, ENGLAND) (56kg)

Jordan Calder is regarded as one of Scotland’s future stars of Muay Thai and the young teenager is set to be the youngest fighter to fight A Class rules on the POS stage. He is set to rematch the tough and talented young Jonno Chipchase from Manchester, who has a hunger to fight anyone and who proved to be a strong challenge in their first outing.

Kieran McAskill (POS Fight Team, SCOTLAND) Vs. TBC (53kg)

B Class

Ritchie Hocking (NKT, SCOTLAND) Vs. TBC (78kg)

Wullie Dempster (Dragons, SCOTLAND) Vs. Jonathan Bracken (Bridgestone, IRELAND) (70kg)

Alan Weaver (NAMT) Vs. Hardip Singh (Caledonian) (56kg)

Stevie Diver (Kaizen) Vs. TBC (72kg)

C Class

Ian Hamilton (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Colin Anderson (Kaizen) (67kg)

Jamie MacTavish (POS Fight Team) Vs. David Ferguson (GTBA) (60kg)

Paul Lapsley (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Adrian Wedolowski (Caledonian) (70kg)

Marcus McDonald (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Mark Kerry (Base) (59kg)

Jason McGlynn (POS Fight Team) Vs. Tam McCourt (GTBA) (58kg)

Some cracking young Scottish talent again taking centre stage on the event!


POS7 will run from 6-11pm, with doors opening at 5pm. Tickets go on sale this month and can be purchased from any of the fighters on the show or you can visit the Lagoon, Musclebound on New Street in Paisley. You will also be able to buy them through www.tickets-scotland.com and hopefully www.powerofscotland.com. Or alternatively call me on 07790 788 368 for tickets, info or to book Ringside tickets . Seating is unreserved apart from the Ringside, so basically first there on the day will get pick of the seats and you’ll have the flexibility to sit in groups etc. However, the last three events at the Lagoon have practically been sell outs, so get in quick.


Tickets are separated into 3 bands, Ringside (£50), Tiered (£25) and Standard (£20 for adults and £10 for Under 16’s). Ringside tickets offer close proximity seating, some food and waitress service. The majority of the tables have already been taken, so please get in touch asap if you are planning on taking one.


For regular updates on the event, check out the website: www.powerofscotland.com, which will be updated regularly as the event develops. Thank you to everyone that has helped so far!

I think most of the clubs now already have their tickets or I have at least put them aside and will be getting them to you in the next few days. If anyone still needs any, please let me know.

Hoping to have word on the fights that are still to be confirmed over the weekend and have a few additions to the lineup to announce aswell, shaping up to be another top event.

I'm guessing half this thread will end up about Dick and Gaylord, was to be expected!

lol couldnt resist when i read on the other thread

Yeah COlin, its bound to happen, I remembered similar coments when he fought Damien Trainor, so knew it would have been worse with the match against John.

Had some enquiry's regarding the tables since posting this. There has been a lot of tables already taken due to the earlier special promotion, so if you think you might need any please let me know asap and confirm when you can. Once the last few matches are confirmed I suspect the tables asociated with them will also be confirmed.

Crackin line-up gaz good to see you giving the best talent in scotland a chance to shine on the big stage, some really interesting fights.

Good luck to my lads taking on tough fights, robin and joes figths going to be amazing. it will be good to see Hardip Singh back in action good fighter and person same with iain hamilton.

Well done with this line up Gary! They seem to get better with each p.o.s!! particulaly looking forward to seeing Robin v Joe & Jordan v Jonno.

looks no 3 bad matey;)

Thanks guys!

I agree Gaz, the way Robin is evolving is brilliant and between all his Thai and Boxing fights he must spend half his life in the ring! LOL. Definitly up there with our other hot prospects! Also good to see Hardip fighting again and will be good to see how good Alan Weaver has become in such a short time.

Yeah Phil, obviously hoping Jordan and Meikle come through Master Sken's show ok, as they are also good fights on paper. I thought Jonno looked great outside the clinch in their first fight, particularly in the early rounds, but he feels he has improved the clinch aspect of his game since, so will be good to see if he is near Jordan's level in that area now.

I should note Ritchie will be under POS Fight Team, another copy and paste error. Should have his fight announced shortly, another tough international fight for the big man. Hopefully announce the other changes then also.

suitable opponent for ritchie

LOL, that looks like Ritchis with a spray tan!

Good luke to Gary and Claire for putting on another big show
Good luck to all the fighters

Thanks wee man! I'll obviously be needing your help as always buddy!

Just to let everyone know, I've only got 80 Tiered tickets left, so if you need anymore please let me know asap. I usually get some returns as normal, but most of the fighters don't have many more tickets than they would normally sell, so I will probably sell any of any returns myself. There is plenty of the standard tickets left though.

Going to update the lineup tonight. Got a few good additions, including 2 more A Class fights confirmed. Kieran McAskill will be fighting Darren Whewell, who looks a physically very strong young fighter who keeps coming forward and is coming down a few weight catogry's, so if he can retain that power he will be a very tough fight for Kieran. Also have Gordon Smith, the STBA Welterweight Champion against Aaron Hain, the Intrim STBA Welterweight Champion. Aaron won the fight against David Bowie on the Base Promotion after Gordon had to withdraw with injury, but this fight will decide who takes the title home.

Here is the current lineup, obviously things may change on the run up to the event, but hopefully not too much, as the lineup is looking great on paper.


A Class

John Dick (GTBA, SCOTLAND) Vs. Gaylord Montier (FRANCE) (56kg)

John Dick needs no introduction to the POS crowd, the current No.1 Featherweight in the UK, STBA Scottish Champion, IKF British Champion, ISKA British Champion is out for another tough International challenge, as he takes on the hard hitting Montier. Montier, has a reputation in mainland Europe as top fighter with real KO Power and is sure to be another tough challenge for one of the nation’s favourite fighters.

Stevie Meikle (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Leeroy Morgado (Super Gym, ENGLAND) (67kg)

After a successful year of fighting in Thailand, Stevie Meikle is back to make an assault on the 67kg UK Rankings, first of all taking on Ranked No. 7 Leeroy Morgado. Leeroy is a highly respected fighter who has mixed it with some of the best and will be determined to defend his spot in the rankings!

ISKA Super-Flyweight British Title

Kieran McAskill (POS Fight Team, SCOTLAND) Vs. Darren Whewell (Fortitudo, ENGLAND) (53.5kg)

Kieran McAskill, the up and coming young local fighter is currently ranked No.4 in the UK independent rankings and after 2 strong performances at the last 2 POS events, Kieran now has a British title shot against Darren Whewell. Whewell makes his POS debut and has a reputation as a physically very strong young fighter who keeps coming forward and has already went the distance with another top young Scottish fighter, Jordan Calder. Whewell is also coming down a few weight category’s, so if he can retain that power he will be a very tough fight for Kieran.

STBA Welterweight Scottish Title

Gordon Smith (Caledonian) Vs. Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit) (67kg)

Gordon Smith, the STBA Scottish Welterweight Champion defends his title against Aaron Hain, who won the intrim version of the title against David Bowie, after Gordon was unable to defend it through injury. But who will etain the title as Scotland’s Welterweight champion in what is arguably the most competitive weight in the country. Both of these fighters have very nice styles and will be a very aesthetic technical battle.

Gulapkaw Boapbapbam (POS Fight Team, THAILAND) Vs. Robin Downer (NKT Barrhead, SCOTLAND) (60kg)

After only seeing a glimpse of what Gulapkaw can add to the fight scene in Scotland, the Thai fighter is hoping to find his feet and start showing his true potential. He takes on the very tough and relentless Robin Downer, an energetic figher who has fought his way through the ranks and only last month turned in one of the best performances in the country this year, as he defeated the top veteran Matt Duncan, to show that he is arguably one of the top young fighters in the country just now.

He is set to rematch the tough and talented young Jonno Chipchase from Manchester, who has a hunger to fight anyone and who proved to be a strong challenge in their first outing.


B Class

Ritchie Hocking (POS Fight Team, SCOTLAND) Vs. Ludovic Coarfe (FRANCE) (78kg)

Wullie Dempster (Dragons, SCOTLAND) Vs. Jonathan Bracken (Bridgestone, IRELAND) (70kg)

Marcus McDonald (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Mark Kerry (Base) (59kg)

Alan Weaver (NAMT) Vs. Hardip Singh (Caledonian) (56kg)

C Class

Scott Clark (POS Fight Team) Vs. Savas Cecen (Fighting Fit) (72kg)

Ian Hamilton (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Colin Anderson (Kaizen) (67kg)

Adam Little (Dragons) Vs. Stevie Diver (Kaizen) (72kg)

Jamie MacTavish (POS Fight Team) Vs. David Ferguson (GTBA) (60kg)

Colin Hain (Glasgow Fitness) Vs. John Kaufman (Fortitudo, ENGLAND) (65kg)

Kris Connely (Base) Vs. Linzie Beaty (Dragons) (69kg)

Paul Lapsley (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Adrian Wedolowski (Caledonian) (70kg)

Just incase anyone missed post above. I've only got 80 Tiered tickets left, so if any fighters or gyms need anymore please let me know asap. I usually get some returns as normal, but most of the fighters don't have many more tickets than they would normally sell, so I will probably sell any of any returns myself. There is plenty of the standard tickets left though.

great oppertunity for kieran good luck hairy one, also good luck to Gordon smith that should be a really good fight.

I'm sure Dick cant wait to get stuck in to Gaylord.....

Gaylord is owning the ring....

Dick looks hard....

Dick is penetrating Gaylords defences....



(You asked for these Gary, so thought I'd deliver!) :P

Stevie Meikle (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Leeroy Morgado (Super Gym, ENGLAND) will be a cracking fight.

Yeah its a tough fight for Kieran, Darren has also fought Jonno Chipchase when they were younger, so been in with some top young fighters, so good fight for both!

I expected everyone to be at it Rich!

Yeah I think that will be a good one as well Liam, obviously Stvie has a huge fight on Master Sken's show, but he's been very active in Thailand and used to fighting a lot, so he's determined to make the fight with Leeroy aswell.

Also had a few more enquiries about Ringside tables, the earlier promotion has ended, but their are a few left. If interested, please contact me directly or go through one of the fighters or gyms, as they are not available through Tickes-Scotland, Lagoon or Musclebound.

Also, if anyone has not recieved tickets or posters with the postal strike etc, please let me know, so I can track the package.

Not sure if POS Staff (ie me) are allowed to crack any Gaylord / Dick jokes.

Until I'm informed otherwise:

"Gaylord has Dick all over him, he wouldn't have it any other way"

"Gaylord doesn't seem to mind the pressure from Dick"

Kids read this.

You promised a complete professional service Dougie!

Any predictions?

Sorry Gary, although I did say "until otherwise informed", I'll take your last post as me "being informed", lol. Professionalism here onward...I promise!

Ok predictions are:

John Dick (GTBA, SCOTLAND) Vs. Gaylord Montier (FRANCE) (56kg)
Winner: Dick (prob points)

Stevie Meikle (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Leeroy Morgado (Super Gym, ENGLAND) (67kg)
Winner: Meikle (again points)

ISKA Super-Flyweight British Title
Kieran McAskill (POS Fight Team, SCOTLAND) Vs. Darren Whewell (Fortitudo, ENGLAND) (53.5kg)
Winner: McAskill (points)

STBA Welterweight Scottish Title
Gordon Smith (Caledonian) Vs. Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit) (67kg)
Winner: Smith (my guess is low kick stoppage)

Gulapkaw Boapbapbam (POS Fight Team, THAILAND) Vs. Robin Downer (NKT Barrhead, SCOTLAND)
Great match this one but after seeing Downer against Matt Duncan, I'm gonna go for a win for Downer

Jordan Calder (Caledonian, SCOTLAND) Vs. Jonno Chipchase (MFA, ENGLAND) (56kg)
Winner: Calder

Ritchie Hocking (POS Fight Team, SCOTLAND) Vs. Ludovic Coarfe (FRANCE) (78kg)
Don't know anything about opponent so I'll go for a win for little Ritchie

Alan Weaver (NAMT) Vs. Hardip Singh (Caledonian) (56kg)
Another great match, Dip is a cracking fighter and in my opinion the more technical of the two. He's been out of the ring for a long time though and young Alan has been pretty active. I'll go with a win for Dip though.


Paul Lapsley (NKT Barrhead) Vs. Adrian Wedolowski (Caledonian) (70kg)
Winner: Mad Adrian

id go for wins to Adrian, Adam Little, Dip, Jonno bracken, Ritchie, Jordan, Gordon and John Dick.
Meikle v Leroy and Kieren v Darren are very close to call id say, good luck with the show! wish i could make it up to support a few mates!

Yeah, quite a few close ones, think all of the A Class ones have the potenial to be top fights. I'm also looking forward to some of the undercard ones aswell, the likes of: Alan V Dip, Marcus McD and Mark Kerry & Ian Hamilton V Colin Anderson.

On the day weigh ins or day before?

sort ur TS logo out it looks too much like ours! copyright infringement!

6-8pm at the Lagoon on the Friday night Aaron.

LOL, Not my logo!

agree with dougie about the Robin Downer fight, i think if he go s in with the right gameplan he can win this one

AARON HAIN? Never heard of him!!! LOL. Good luck mate.

Thats cause you were born 20 years before me ..
cheers

Yeah I think Robin and Joe as the potential to be a good one aswell. Robin is on top form and if he continues the way he did against Matt, then he will take some stopping. But on the other hand I think withn the next couple of fights Joe will start showing his own potential. Both still teenagers and a lot or time to develop.

I think this could be the most exciting PoS i think Adrian vs Paul should be a great fight both have a track record of stopping their opponents.

scandal TS logo stealing attempt...good luck with the show, gutted i cant come

Yeah Gaz, think it could be the strongest card I've had in terms of depth, as some of the domestic fights will be cracking. Think I might kick off with Paul & Adrian, get the show off to an explosive start.

Cheers Liam, hope your feeling good for next week, got a bunch from my gym coming down to cheer you's on, should be a cracker! LOL about logo, I think you've got a strong case against them, get your lawyers onto it!

If any fighters have any preference about when they are on in the lineup, let me know in the next few days and I'll try and keep everyone happy, as I will be completing the program artwork this week.

Any teired tickets left ?

John Paul, Gary should have some Tiered, just give him a text to keep them aside for you.

As usual, can any fighters that think thay will have Tiered returns, please let me know asap so I can redistribute them, thanks.

good luck with the show gary, next time hey...

Yo mate any joy on my 72kg guy?

Good luck with this Gary will be a great show as always!!! Might try and pop up with the wife for this one

Damien

Thanks guys! Alex, think I've spoke to you about that since, 2 changes to make to above lineup, will hopefully be confirmed by the weekend.

Tickets are going much faster than the last event so looks like another packed crowd, Tiered section is crammed already, a few spaces left at Ringside, but still plenty in the standard section for on the day sales aswell. Again, if anybody is expecting say more than 10 Tiered ticket returns, please let me know.

Kieran McAskill's a very handy fighter would love to meet him in the middle low-kick or even k-1 rules :)

Me 2 Scott only under any Thai rules.. Tough opponent hes up against i fought Darren and lost on points back in feb

5 more fighters n we have an 8 man 53kg lol !!

Whos up for a few bets then ???

Someone has asked me to place for bets for them.
He wants £100 on Aaron Hain and £100 on Jonno Bracken, anyone up for those two bets??

okay Graham I will take those bets:)

nah only messing I too am looking for the same bets

hain and bracken both to win, £25 quid each to keep things nice and sporting, in saying that it would be nice to see Aaron get a few slaps in the process of wining :)


paddy

Not my bets Paddy, it's Mikey the Pikey's scandalous gambling problem coming to the surface again. Aaron will get more that a few slaps, hopefully LOL

You be at the show??

£50 on Adrian Wedolowski to win, any takers?

Gary,
Good Luck with the show!!

Guy

HOWS THE LINE UP LOOKING

Few chages to the lineup, but most of it the same. Unfortunitely Leroy Morgado and Jordan Calder had to pull out, so their fights are off.

Also looking to rematch Ritchie Hocking 78kg and Sava Cecen 72kg, if anybody is interested in these matches, please let me know.

Tickets for the event are looking great, tiered should be packed and only 1 Ringside table left to book, so going to be another great atmosphere in the Lagoon.

Fan to fan betting. Its safe, legal and fair!




Kieran McAskill (Scotland) Vs. Darren Whewell (England)

Fan to fan betting. Its safe, legal and fair!



Gordon Smith (Caledonian) Vs. Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit)

Looking forward to coming over with jono,what time does the show start at + wat time sud it finish up around

Can you set up a bet for the Jonno Bracken fight Sid?

Hi Mugger, the doors open at 5pm and the show should run from 6-11pm.

Thanks Gary,someone Please tell me the Pubs + Clubs open realy late in Glasgow

Mugger, the clubs will be open till about 3am and pubs about 1am. Trust the Irish to be worried about that! LOL


Just to let all the Ringside spectators know, that the menu for the event has more of a Scottish theme this year, but also some of previously popular food aswell:

McDowalls haggis with neeps and tatties.

Irish stew with colcannon.

Moroccan veggie hotpot.

Green thai chicken curry and rice.

Sweet and sour vegetable noodles.

Selection of breads.

Selection of world cheeses and biscuits.

Plus another Sweet option.

Please remember that the dresscode is as normal, at least collar for the gents and formal for the ladies.

Thanks Gary sounds great,will there be a full bar at the show aswell lol

There will be a bar at the show, but unfortunitly no Guiness!

Which reminds me, meant to post this the other day.

All children must be accompanied with an adult to gain entry into the event.

There will be signs up on the day and if anyone has any problems please let me know before the event and I will arrange a refund. The reason being is that the council, venue and licensing board have new legislation in to protect children in licensed premises and therefore they must be in the care of an adult. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience but out of my hands.

Neeps and tatties! Glasgow really surprised me the last time I was there. Hate to admit it but the food and nightlife puts most Eglish cities to shame.

Betting:

Theres more than £100 placed on Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit) to win and less than £2 on Gordon Smith (Caledonian)! C'mon Smith fans - do you really think he has less than a fifty to one chance of winning? This is fan to fan betting - where are the Gordon Smith fans?


Gordon Smith (Caledonian) Vs. Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit)

maxine paszowski - I'll put the Dempster v Bracken fight up but do remember that ANYONE can put the fights up on BeLuckyTote.com Its instant and doesn't cost anything, no credit card details needed, just a username and password. And whoever puts the fight up earns commission! Its piss easy I promise. Ideally, Gary would put all the fights up but I think he's rather busy with the rest of the show.

Maybe some kind person can put a few more of the fights up? Preferably, someone who doesn’t bet (if you put the fight up, you cant bet on it). You can even donate the commission to charity.

BeLuckyTote.com

Actually just updating the minisite with all the bets now Sid, should be up soon, thanks for your help!

Here is more of the fights to bet on, thanks to Sid for throwing the minisite together, Power Of Scotland Bets.

Theres a new url for it now:


http://www.powerofscotland.beluckytote.com/


Good luck to all the fighters

thats pretty gd im surprised iv not seen harrison or robinson on yet they love a good bet lol.

Not much money in the Bracken vs Dempster pot, i'll bet 100 quid on Bracken to win if anyone fancys it................

Unfortunitely Gaylord pulled out yesterday (no puns please), however thankfully I had a few backups in place. John will now be fighting a French Champion Said Youb at the same weight. I may have 2 more additions to add to the lineup tomorrow and will update the lineup.

Tickets for this event seem to be going great, so please don't wait till the last minute to get your tickets. I've spoken to most people and there is minimal returns coming back in, so the only tickets sure to be on sale on the door are Standard. Ringside will be sold out and assuming minimal returns the tiered should be packed aswell, going to be electric!

Thanks to everyone for their help with this show, so far its went smoothly, so hopefully it'll stay that way! Apologies again to all the fighters I couldn't match this time. Just over a week to go and can't wait for the show!

best of luck gary

same happened me yesterday for belgium ,they were worried over our world cup result thinken wed take it out on them.

Said Youb

Comes from a good gym - Benattia Brothers.

Its a good replacement Gary.

Thanks Martin! Sorry to hear about that, wuld have been a good fight, maybe they'l try agan at another date, at least they have your details.

Cheers Sid. Yeah I gather he's a very good fighter, never seen him personally, but should be another tough challenge for John, but he usually thives on that, so should be a good one! 1 week to go folks!

Lookng for a C Class fighter around 72kg, 2F. Also got enough space to squeeze in another fight and been asked if I could try and match:

Paul Kelly(Wossobamma), A Class, 17F
Bjorn Charles (Team HTK, Belgium), C or B Class, 12F

If anyone is interested please email me (see profile) or call me on: 07790 788 368. Thanks, Gary.

That looks like a cracking replacement Gary, well done mate.

Team Bennatia are supposed to be a good outfit, that's where Mehdi Zatout fought from and he just beat Andy Thrasher for Euro Title at the Sken show.

That said, Dick always rises to the occasion, I'm sure it'll be a good fight.

Best of luck John.

i'll take that £50 bet for paul lapsley to beat adrian stevie if your still wanting it?

also john douglas wants to put £50 on iain hamilton to beat cloin anderson any takers?

What time, and where are the weigh-ins?

Yes Gary ill have some of that thanks! see you at the show :)

john boys chucking hes cash away lol

Yeah Dougie, Youb has got a good reputation, and on paper its another tough challenge for John, but hopefully he'll upset the odds again!

The weighin is Friday night at the Lagoon (PA1 1NB) at 6pm. We'll have the officials meeting and medicals then aswell, so everyone just focuses on fighting on Sat.

14 Fights all confirmed and hopefully there should be no pullouts now and a smooth(ish) run upto the event. I'll be out and about over the next few days, so if anyone is needing to get a hold of me, better trying my mobile, as I'll be slow to respond to emails. Thanks, Gary.

Any Line up yet,in order that is.Thanks

Hi Gary,

Hope all goes well and by the sounds of things it will......unfortunately I am working this weekend so will not make it - good luck to all involved!

See you soon mate.

Paul

Thanks Paul! Had the usual challenges but got past them all so far. John Dick has had yet another pullout, but thankfully they have another A Class guy stepping in, Imed Douk. Don't know much about him other than he's only lost 2 fights and won half by stoppage, so sounds like he can bang a bit.

Thanks to everyone who has kept in touch regarding ticket sales, I know its difficult as a lot leave it till last minute, but has meant I've managed to give some more out and not lost sales. On the numbers I am expecting now, there will be about 50 standard and tiered on the door for anyone who has left it last minute.

Mugger I'll update the lineup and running order just now mate, I've got Jono on 9th, so still plenty drinking time!

Well done to all of DOUGLAS MUAY THAI
'robin you were absolutely dynamite you are minted !!!!!!!!!!!!!

results??

Well done Alan Weaver, on Thur he was not fit to fight due to illness and only about 70% by Fri, but another strong performance, I predict a big year ahead for Alan as he continues to develop. Respect to Dip and the Caledonian gym, one of the best in the UK. Congratulations to Keiran, a brilliant performance and worthy champion; Ritchie just oozes confidence and his finish was awesome, as was Robin Downer's!!!!!! Always great to see Marcus McDonald on show, a fighter who will give it 110% Unfortunately the atmosphere was not the same as previous POS's, maybe credit crunch effect.

well done to all fighters well done gary and claire for a great show cant wait for the next one

Congratulations to Ritchie, R1 KO, so meaning the slow starter game is history !! Heard your entrance was special, next time Pamela will be there to witness that!! Kieran, i know you where ill last 10 days so congratz to you and more for pulling his of.

As news travel fast i alleady heard the show was awsome!! So congratz to Gary/Claire for yet another great show. Hope to be there at POS 101!!

Great show! Well done Colin Hain and John Dick shows he can stop'em!! Unlucky Dip, I agree one of the most gifted fighters in the UK.

Thanks for having us over Gary,we all had a great time,thanks again to scott for driving us around all wkend,jono had a good fight but was to strong for wullie i think.
Fight of the nite was kierian + Darren great fight well done lads

results??

Going to keep this post as short as possible (never going to happen), as I was meant to take the rest of the day off, but just wanted to thank all the fighters, coaches, officials, event staff and spectators that contributed to this event! Everyone I spoke to seemed to think it was one of the best, certinly the Ringside loved it as most of them booked their tables for the next one already. Although NAMT thought the atmosphere wasn’t as good as normal, I and everyone else I spoke to actually thought it was the loudest heard at the Lagoon since POS4 and there was only about 10% difference in numbers, even at the end as the crowd reduced the noise was excellent. When big Ritchie came on the place errupted! Have to mention the away gyms, all were great to deal with and top people, I would recommend them to any promoter!

Unusually there was a lot of stoppages last night, but glad to say nobody was seriously hurt, my lad Jamie has a broken bone in his foot but it’s a clean break so actually better than soft tissue damage, so he’ll be back soon. On a personal note I was really happy with my guys fighting, Jamie’s injury was just one of those accidental things that happens. Joe isn’t doing what he can and I’m realising some of the problems now we’ve seen him get some decent ring time, he’ll be back much better next year. Going into the fight I personally thought Joe had to hurt Robin early or else Robin would come through in the end and credit to him he did just that, after 2 tough rounds. Both these guys are still only teenagers and have great futures ahead of them.

Was really proud of big Ritchie, not because of his first KO, but because of that bloody entrance, for a lad just turned 18 to put on a show like that is class and really added to the “show” element of the event. Although there was a big age gap, Ritchie also had significant more ring experience, so fair play to Savas for taking the fight. To be fair, the fight didn’t really get started, as the high kick came out of nowhere and caught him cold. But I think he had to do something spectacular to get away with the entrance! LOL

Kieran buddy, you were awesome, so proud of you! You did lack some fitness because of last week, but you just got on with it and dug deep, especially in the second half of the fight. Darren pushed the fight over the full 5 rounds and is definitly another top up & coming lad. Darren landed some big punches and low kicks, combined with Kieran injuring his foot kicking his elbows a few times, meant he had to stop his usual kicking game and use his clinch technicques, which was a risk, as we knew Darren was physically strong. But, it was like I was playing a computer game, Kieran did everything I asked and managed to monitor the fight throughtout and pace it perfectly, just doing enough to stay ahead and not burn out. Time for a good rest wee man and let all those injuries heal I think, well done again!

I only saw these fights- david Ferguson won, Colin Anderson won Alan Weaver won, Mad Markus won, Jonathon bracken won, Hulk Hocking won, Raskill Mc Askill won. Did`nt see these fight:- but I know John Dick won because I had £30 pounds on him and the Downer boy won me £50!! Respect out to the P.O.S team.

Thanks again for having us on the show

proud of all my guys all of them had tough opponents i would have like puals and adrians fight to go on longer but congrats to adrian, marcus i need to put on a lead he's nuts lol, well done to iain hamilton after being out for over a year he put in a great performance against colin who is tough as nails the more iain fights on a regular basis thats when people will see how good he actually is.


Robin you were amazing we had to change the tactics for this one and counter fight and let joe tire himself out before we picked the pace up and you did everything you were asked. BRIILLIANT!! and yet another stoppage lol

Sounds like a great show - well done all involved.

Did the Smaith v Hain fight happen?

STBA Welterweight Scottish Title
# Gordon Smith (Caledonian) Vs. Aaron Hain (Fighting Fit) (67kg)

No it didn't happen, Sid. Aaron didn't make the weight.

Thanks MK

Aaron didn't make the weight.

sauna sap :)

Guy, already got Pamela booked to escort Ritchie to the ring next time! LOL. The crowd always like the daft entrances, Chris Ferns was great, shame he's not fighting just now.

Yeah Aaron couldn't make the weight, which means Gordon officially retains the title. Shame it didn't happen, as I think it would have been a great fight, both are very technical and have nice style.

yep would have been a good fight, absolultely gutted for gordon, not going to get into it cos dont want to bring the thread down though, well done with the show gary and to all the fighters! especially jono bracken!! unlucky to dip also.

hi gaz,

Gutted I couldn't make it Bud...Glad it went well as all ways!!! Congrats to Kieran well done mate!!

Speak soon Damien

I thought the show ran very well though possibly to many breaks and it was freezing in the arena!
Some good fights, Keiran has def matured into a very clever and technical fighter. Jono Bracken also looked strong v Dempster.
Dip unfortunately got caught with a few big shots from a strong Alan Weaver and couldnt really make his mark on the fight.
Adrian showing again what a strong force he is at 70kg and im sure he will continue to progress and start taking some bigger scalps next year!!

Thanks guys!

Yeah Stevie, we did have too many breaks, especially in between fights, but that was simply due to the stoppages. Also turns out the boilers for the whole centre broke down on the Satmorning, the pool etc has been shut since Sunday, so that was just unfortunate timing, its usually roasting in there. Didn't see Jono, but heard he was very strong, in fact, I didn't see much so looking forward to seeing them all.

Trying to get hold of the pictures from the show, hopefully get them up soon.

The undercard is up on P4TV. Before anyone moans about the entrance music getting changed, Mel has dubbed over it with royalty free music so they could show the entrances, but the original music and crowd noise will be on the DVD. Going to be a shame for Ritchie's entrance, as he's going to look even more stupid! LOL.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for looking after Jono and the boys and giving him the opportunity of fighting on a great showcase. He is on to watch for the future.

Rehards,
Paul.
