Sorry Keith! I'm on it..and good result in Liverpool.
JP, Always happy to showcase good juniors, you and Bradley are definitely two of the best in Scotland at the mo. It was great having Craig Walton and Alex Smith on last time, very important experience, and one of the reasons Jordan evolved into such a strong fighter.

is it day before weigh in's for everyone?
No, only the A and B class fights, all C class are on the day, 10-11am at the venue. Any problems please let me know.
sorry, misinformation r.e weigh-ins...all c class are on day weigh-ins, as are two of the b class fights (maryport dragons lads).
Thanks to John Douglas and Gary Douglas for working some showbiz magic with an interview about his title challenge on Oran mor IV last night at the Born Fighters show, conducted by John 'Retired' Lamb.
Talking to a few of the usual suspects, there's a lot of excitement about the card, and if styles make fights, then Douglas v Smith will be a belter.
Confirming that Brian 'young' Totty will be fighting Mark Maclymont from Wossobama, neither of these guys has a loss on their record...who is going to keep their winning streak?
Someone's '0' has got to go!
Will there be tickets on the door?
Liam,
I've already got a score on the boy Broon.
Who you wanting to bet on?
Great line up Guy! Good luck to everyone!
dougie what you on about...ill have £20 on deluca any takers?? i love stevie, top guy and good fighter but obviously with my man mark on this.
not sure i know enough of the other guys to bet.
R.e tickets, there will be a few reserved on the door, but if it goes to sell out, I'll post.
R.e betting... I think one of the reasons this card rocks is that it's very hard to call predictions, as the matches are well balanced, so no decent bookie is likely to take the risk!! Clearly my money is on all my guys and gals! I respect my team so much, they never bitch no matter who I put in front of them, and the harder the fight, the better.
William Boyle stopped Mark in the 3rd last year i'm sure Guy!!
Looks to be a awesome show
Liam,
I'll take your £20 bet on as well then mate.
Have we a bet?
I'll also put money on Tommy Young and Jordan Calder if there are any takers?
good luck with the show guy and also good luck to keith mclachlan and john douglas and anyone else i know i may have missed :-)
Dougal we have a bet....whos keith mclauchlin who tommys fighting, gym/record...infact im not too fussed ill still have £20 on tommy for that one.
good to see i'm being written off.
really looking forward to this show now............already got one bet sorted, ill have 20 on gordon as well if anyone fancies it?
keith iv just realised who you are...sorry bud....but you wanna take my bet :)

I am pleased to announce that Darren Philips (GFC England) will be heading up the judges and referees for the event, accompanied by judging team Gary O'Brien, Maxine Philips, Jim Walton and referees Rab Burt and Duncan Ireland.
Day before weigh-ins will be at the Griphouse, under Darren's supervision from 1-2pm. (exception of the French team, who arrive later). All tickets need to be returned/ paid for at the weigh-in.
On day weigh-in 10am-11am at the venue. Our scales are calibrated and accurate, so if you've got dodgy old scales, check 'em on a new set!
Our MC is the wonderful lady of the ring, Kim Hamilton, and our DJ who will deal with entry music is Thomas Weir
As we have 4 A and 4 B class fights, we have two doctors on the day, headed by Paul Drake, and accompanied by our paramedic team Iain and Christine.
Good luck to John Douglas and JP Gallagher, Looks like a great lineup.
a big GOOD LUCK to all fighters esp the WOSSOBAMA BOYS and keep up the good work Mark doing your auld mum proud.... goin to be a good show bring on the action looking forward to it
Ha, should have called the show 'Mofo's Day'
i suppose i should wish keith aw the best and maybe a wee bit of luck as we know we all need that also.its gony be tough but we believe you can can do it so good luck.also john douglas,just want to say all the best to you aswell and after the fight you can give me some tips on how to get my hair as nice as yours.lol. marty.
I'm all out of tickets, only the venue has any left, so if you're planning on returning any, please get in touch and give me a ball park figure on how many you may be returning, as there are fighters and punters desperate for more.
Running order will be up soon, thank you to everybody who has supported, even when we couldn't match your fighters, we will return the support.
One more fight to add to the card, Ross Jack is fighting Jason Lo from Bridgestone in Dublin. C class at 63kg.
Best of luck to Jay(volcano)Lo
Just wanted to wish the DOUGLAS MUAY THAI boys the very best of luck!!
John Paul Gallagher, and especially John Douglas!!! Do the business boys!! :)
CLou
P.s. Mr Calder, I'll be keeping an eye on you, stealing any more pics! :P LOL!! Told you, you were worrying me there! LOL!!
Haha Claire, see you on Sunday.
Just got this off the French website.
Sun's shining is Glasgow as the first fighters start to arrive from all corners. Can't wait!
yeah cant wait should be a good show, is there a final running order yet?
I'll get final running order after weigh-ins tomorrow, fingers crossed easyjet and ryanair do their thing....
All the A class fights are in the second half of the show, and the junior title fight is midway if that helps at the moment...
I don't want to shift tickets on false pretences...unfortunately Jo's opponent has had to pull out due to an administrative balls up courtesy of our new draconian entry laws to the UK.
So, anyone who was going to see Jo specifically that is holding a ticket, if you no longer wish to attend, we will refund your ticket, please contact gill on the box office on the day.
Absolutely gutted for Jo (and Ferial), hopefully we can get the fight on again very soon. Thanks to Paul Kelly for doing his damnedest to try and keep the fight on.
Best of luck with the show Guy and good luck to all fighters. Some great matchups. Will see yous all there, as usual doing the merchandise stall.
ps. Boon shorts £20 for this day only.
Big apolagies to JoJo as Ferial, who hold a South African passport only found out she needed a visa for the Uk on Monday when we were checking in online for the flights. We were over fighting in Crawley and Leeds last year and she did not have a problem then. But they changed the rules recently and she had to get all the proper docs, even proof of where Guy was putting her up hotel wise. Could only get an interview at the UK embassy yesterday and they said should be done in 24hrs. When she rang today she had to communicate through a call centre in Hungary,go figure, which now is the only place who can process visas and queries for the UK and they told her it would be up to 15 days and definitely not before the weekend. I rang them myself and then even got direct onto the embassey but red tape won out and no joy. Gutted for the two girls but still looking forward to coming over with the Lo brothers.
Will defo get that on again with JoJo, most likely on the Power Of Scotland it looks like, once we get this visa stuff sorted out. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces tomorrow and getting to know some new ones.
Cheers,
Paul.
THE BRIDGESTONE GYM.

a massive well done to keith(my nephew)an awsome punch.id also like to say well done rab izat his coach for the work in turning him into the fighter hes bcome and last but not least i hope tommy is ok and back fighting asap bcoz hes a great fighter to watch.
howd the gordon smith john douglas fight go?
Ok this is going to be a long one
first of all i`d like to thank Bradley for a great hard fight and brian and jordan for being so nice and guy for gettin me on the show
and gary a cant say enough your such a gr8 coach thanks alot gary and karl always motivatin me and helping me and robin for support and john for always pushin me 4ward and supporting me all the way :):)
Is there any pictures guy ?????
Jordan walloped his opponent - mismatch?
Mismatch, don't talk shit Iain you haven't got a CLUE what your talking about have you ??? no you haven't so stop posting utter shit and taking away from Jordan's win you fool.
The guy Jordan fought is 22 years old
Jordan is 16 you stupid muppet.
So go away and talk shit somewhere else
FOOL.
How did jordan calder go ?
Plus that was the French's 20th fight and Jordan's 12, not that I need to explain myself to you, you muppet.
JP........Jordan won by 2nd round KO.
Well done today JP you are a credit to your gym wee man.
crackin show mr ramsy:)well done to all the fighters. great stuff.
brian have you been hanging aboot wae mr T ...lol fool crazy fool...lmao
I'm not taking away from his win at all Brian so don't be like that. But anyone who watches that fight will see that Jordan was a hundred times better than the guy he fought. It's nothing bad about Jordan.
Lol Rab, idiots like that piss me right off, haven't got a clue what they are talking about.
You are taking away from his win by saying mismatch ???
Yeah he was better so what does that mean it's a mismatch ?
Like I said stop talking shit, you haven't got a clue, trust me.
Brian mate stop being you for a moment please. I'm not saying it was a paper mismatch. I'm not taking away from his win - someone wins because they're better and that's the bottom line. Jordan is a fantastic fighter. I'm saying he was a million times better than the guy he fought and a mismatch, in my eyes, is when both fighters are on completely different skill levels and Jordan was on a whole other level.
Stop being me, shut up you silly little fool, and am not your mate. Can't be arsed with you anymore go away clown
Don't think I've been anything but civil man. You don't have to like my opinion - that's fair enough. Try to disagree without being abusive in the future. See ya.
Jordan was class, well done J. also Jp n bradley. what a fight from 2 of Scotlands future stars, good stuff.well done also to ma pal ginger gordon n commiserations to the lovely john douglas, lol at least it was your foot that got f**kd n no your face, Also nae luck Stevie Broon, what a fight, possibly one of the best Ive ever seen (and Ive seen a few)what a warrior but just got out scored,still a credit to ayrshire. Biggest well done has to go to Keith,have we possibly made history with a first father n son Scottish title holders ? ? Great show Guy. well done.
juat like to say thanls to tommy and guy for giving me the shot, forever grateful, and a huge thanks to my coaches rab, lesley and amy. ye's r aw stars.
never seen much of the other fights but mark n stevie was a war, big well done to you both. and jordan was a class above his oppo,who i dint kno anythin abt, but all he can do is continue to win and beat whoever is put in front of him. he won well with as clinical performance as ever
what a gr8 show!
some realy top class fights!
well done guy and all the others involved in bringing such a class fight card to glasgow!
big shout to all the fighters, gr8 work guys!
a special shout to jordan for another quality performance!
all the best
mescho
Right here we go lol,
Thanks very much to guy for giving my lads a shot at the titles cant thank you enough for making us all feel welcome.
Thanks bryan for the comments jp is a credit to the gym and he can only get better the two boys looked as tho they had been fighting for years both are big stars for the future and no doubt their paths will cross again.
Im actually not long out the hospital with john, he badly damaged his foot in the 2nd rnd and was struggling to do anything, if i had listened i would have stopped it there and then but i thot it was all in his head lol so i apologise to john for that. it was a really good fight both guys showed great skill. before he got injured i thot john looked great sharp and focused but these things happen, i dont want to sound like im taking anything away from Gordon he fought a great fight and is one of the genuine nice guys in Muaythai all the best for the future Gordon.
Finally massive well done to keith, fantastic mate really happy for u, i really like tommy but kieths my BHOY lol after all these years of shouting you finally kept your guard up haha.
lololol krab he'll be off his work for a bit so it will give him time to get his own back on Mr Calder he's been trying but he isnt very good at it bless him lol
Well done Keith with your KO by left hook, on yir sel!!!
Great show well done Guy!!......Mark and Stevie was fight of the day i reckon, 2 absolute warriors and 2 of the nicest guys in the sport, Mark just scoring better with his body kicks, never seen a fight with both fighters in neutral corners with a doctor working on each of them before lol
Over the moon for Gordon, great dislay of kicking! best performance of his career and he needed it cos he knew he was up against it going into the fight and a lot of people thought John would win, fair play to John after breaking his foot round 2, hope he s back in action soon as he s one of scotlands best without a doubt Gordon just wanted this one so bad!
Jordan was brilliant and the right hand that finished his opponent was horrible, im just glad he didnt rush in with elbows and waited at least 6 seconds into the first round ha
Gutted for Tommy but he ll be back stronger im sure, well done to Keith, nobody really gave him a chance coming into the fight and he proved them wrong myself included, would love to see a rematch as im sure Tommy would be out to get his belt back and Keith would want to prove it was no one off shot, would defo be very interesting!
Thought JP Gallagher and Brad were excellent, 2 fighters with brilliant style and ability and really nice kids!

As the promoter, I would like to thank everybody yesterday for their professionalism and dedication in making this the best O.Mor event to date. The matches were all tough fights for both, none more so than Stevie Brown v Mark DeLuca, which is possibly the best A class fight I have seen in Scotland. I am delighted we managed to get this fight on the card.
12 fights, 6 KO's, wrapped up in 4 hours is a promoter's dream, I couldn't have done it without the help of all my team,backstage and front of house, particularly the 'glue' in the mix, M.C Kim Hamilton.
Thanks go to Darren Philips for providing constructive feedback to our C and B class match refs, and his reffing of the A class bouts.
I'll post later as coach...
The winner!
JP v Brad
I'll be adding more pictures to
the Oran Mor IV webpage throughout the day...
Wot a show!!! Well done Keith quality mate you txt me sayin that left hook was gonae do damage... Fight of the day at 1st i thought was Smith v Douglas until the war with Stevie and Deluca never a dull moment when Stevie Brown fights unlucky mate.. Young Jordan Calder again pulling off a cracking perfomance think the mention of a mismatch is a bit harsh like any fighter does they fight who is put in front of them.
what a show....Deluica vs Brown was insane....what a fight massive heart from both guys my heart was in my mouth whole way through...mark you lived up to your nickname again mate everyone very proud of you....Jordan Calder was class again broke the record time for 1st elbow thrown good work lol
all the fights were brilliant, Gordan Smith was outstanding, would defo like to see him get a briotish title fight now, so many good fights to comment on but thanks to Guy for having us up and well done on an amazing show.
That fight between Stevie and Mark sounds awesome, hope to see it one day. Look at the faces, imagine both fighters had to dig deep in that one, amazing!
thats some picture of marks face lol full credit to him to keep scoring it was a great fight to watch.
beleive me Kieths knockout wasnt a one off, keith has great power and i knew he could stop tommy but only if he could get near him haha keith knew he had to stop him cause he was never going to out point him.
like gary said keiths knockout isnt a one off hes now stopped his last 3 opponents.if the comments of is it a one off meaning could he do to tommy again then no one can know that bcoz no 2 fights are the same.anybody can be knocked out and if keith lands that left as flush on anyone they would struggle to get up.i think the one off comment is doing him a disservice or maybe im just an over protective uncle.
thanks to Guy for having me on the show, was great to see you and everyone from the Grip again.
big thanks to Andy, Liam and Davy Mac for being there, from advice before and during the fight to the care and treatment afterward, couldn't have done it without you, (good one sir!)
Thanks to Stevie as well, hes a sound guy and a true sportsman, glad to have shared the ring with you mate. all the best.
congrats to Gordon Smith who fought a brilliant fight, really pleased for you and to Jordan Calder on another devastating win for you!
p.s. someone put a photo of me doing ram muay or something instead of all these really good looking ones of me ;) shows the war we had i suppose
Brilliant show Guy best one yet by far, thanks for bringing the French over for Jordan to fight.
Brad v JP was brilliant and both kids are outstanding and showing everyone that the youngsters coming through in our sport are top class. I was very proud of Bradley yesterday, but I always am.
Mark De Luca, I didn't see much of your fight mate but you are a true warrior in every sense of the word, brilliant, as was Stevie Brown, 2 top guys.
Gordon Smith, what can I say not many thought he could win this fight, but he stuck to the game plan and listened, then carried it out, brilliant mate I am so pleased for you, that belt is yours now to keep and no-one deserves it more.
Jordan Calder you were ace yesterday wee man, fighting A Class at 14 and now 16, that right hand was horrible, you deserve everything you get in this sport because no-one works harder than you and the reason you do so well is because of your work ethic it is on a different level. Well done son we are all proud of you.
And last but not least a massive thank you to the Badco boys DavyMac, Andy and Liam who help me so much with Jordan and have done for years (along with loads of other people) couldn't do it without everyone, thanks.
Since you asked nicely Mark ;-)
Thanks for having us over guy,the lads had great fights and we were all treated + looked after realy well and hope to come over again soon,thanks
I got to see most of stevie + marks fight and it was a great war,but i tought stevie looked the stronger fighter and didnt stop coming forward,great fight lads well done
and again for john and Gordan i seen most of the fight with john looking the stronger in the 1st half the the foot took its toll and gordan came back stronger to win it,but most people would have stoped with that foot,i seen it after the fight in the dressing room + i think would have been a differnt fight without it,well done and hats off to john for not giving up,iam sure he will be back for the belt when he gets the foot sorted
Incidentally, anyone else think Webdunk should have a full time photographer's job??? Awesome pictures Duncan!
Plenty more learning to go before that boss, but ta :-)
I felt like a parent (no age jokes, Team Scandal) over here after Liam's sms about the fight result and cuts. Mark, don't show your mom, ever. WOW. I'm so proud of you and your heart, second to none. Massive thanks to all of your supporters there.
Thanks to Guy and the Caley crew for putting him on, to Stevie for a hell of a tear up, to all of Bad Company and a scandalous corner team in Andy, Liam and Davy!! Duncan, great pics! Hats off to all who tested themselves in the ring yesterday.
Quick post only because there's some guys fighting yesterday who haven't had a mention which is nuts, because they were amazing...Mikey Wiseman gets stronger and stronger, his crunching body shots disposed of Lithuanian fighter last month, and again brought a fast and dramatic fight with a very able Tommy Kiltie to a rapid conclusion.
Adrian Wedolowski is now 6-0, 4 by stoppage, this time he had a strong opponent in Darrern Lo (who looked massive for a 70kg fighter) and had his chin tested, but again, enjoying the step up to b class, won by KO through a sustained volley of knees to the head.
Stuart Graham from Lanark DNFT who used knees so effectively against Dave
Prosser in his last thai fight, showed he has great hands too, mixing them well to stop Gareth O'Leary (rd 1 I think?)
I'm going to mention Ross too, because his achievement yesterday was awesome..we had a deal a year ago that went something like this..'you lose 20kgs and i'll get you a fight'...22kgs later, and only 1 year of training, Ross goes the distance with Jason Lo. What an amazing effort and huge balls award. Right, i'm off to the airport. Again.
I would like to echo the many good comments on here. The show was great, with some excellant talent!! The junior title fight was a pleasure to watch and once again reinforced my oponion that no head contact junior bouts are a way to develope muay thai skills.
Gordon v John was superb and I was thinking, "they will have to go a long way to beat that for fight of the night!!
Wallop, two lunatics proceed to beat the doodies out each other. Stevie showed such amazing heart and breavery and never stopped attacking, mark was just a little bit to clever with the scoring, what a fight. Mark was cut first and whilst in a potential more worrying place, it didn't bleed that much, then Stevie was cut in the same round and his bleed loads. Striclty you shouldn't stop a fight to be looked at by the doctor mid round, but with both lads bleeding I thought it better to ask the doctors to have a look. Then I found myself thinking, right what happens here if the doctor doesn't want them to go as they were both bleeding. Fortuantley the doctor was happy with them both to carry on and both lads looked at me like I was mad when I asked if they wanted to carry on! trust this to be the only fight that was not unanimous, and it be Maxien who gave the fight to Stevie. We then had to discuss the fight, over dinner, on the train on the way home and still this morning!!
Fights were great, hospitailty from Guy and everyone involved with the show was great and the venue was nice as well.
Well done all invovled
1st time iv ever seen one fighter in one corner gettin checked by the doc and the other fighter in the other corner gettin checked by the other doc
I just got a text from Stevie Brown saying that he's in the gym and that he thinks it'll make a great re-match, lol...HE'S A MENTALIST!
Does anyone know hoo the other photographers were ???
just so i can get more pics frm me and bradleys fight ??
Spell my name wrong again and we will have other things to discuss!!
If you want your show to run smooth, particularly with A class, two doctors is the way to go, expensive, but worth it, one is watching, one is stitching....
Are Keith and tommy doing a slow dance lol Duncan ur pics are excellent mate I heard john d has already booked you in for some new mug shots lol I'll need to keep you in mind not that you need my approval darren but ithot you done an excellent job yesterday.
it doesnt matter what any says, its something that cant be taken away from me now, not the title obviously, but me and my son corey both being scottish muay thai champions at the same time. so doesnt bother me, so nobody else let it bother them please.
thanx again to Tommy and Guy. and to my support

thanks bradley yuu r awesome too mate :):)
who filmed the show cant wait to see the fights again?
P4TV were on filming duties.
Should it be on p4tv this week ma dad asked ?
no offence was meant at all with regards to the one off comment earlier and think it was taken the wrong way a little bit, i know Keith is aggressive and strong and saw his last 2 stoppage wins on Master A s show then down in Liverpool so knwo what he is capable of! he s a top guy as well and im sure he knew i wasnt taking anything away from his win......i just meant it would add a bit of spice to a rematch cos Tommy was favourite going into the fight and would be exciting to see if it went same way or not. Great win for him nonetheless and hope he gets more good fights and opportunities after his recent performances.
p.s the father and son s.t.b.a champions thing is quality good work!
cheers Davy, no offence taken ,from my part anyway. f*** all wrong with being the underdog, its a fighters sport after all. lol
Nice jump knee shot! Adrian realised after the 1st round that Darren had some serious power and weight and decided to go for the finish asap rather than dig in for five rounds. Good plan. He's turning into a very entertaining fighter.
Just want to touch on everything thats already been said about the show, Guy that was MINT mate, the best Oran Mor show ive been to, some great fights from start to finish. JP and Brad was a brilliant fight and shows what a bright future those 2 have really enjoyed watching it from Brads corner.
Gordon mate im so pleased for you, you was the underdog in lmost peoples eyes and proved them all wrong with what was you best performance to date, congrats mate :) loved your fight, really good to watch and was defo on for fight of the night until those 2 idiots got in a few fights later, Mark and Stevie took that off them right away. Was an amazing fight with them both been cut in the second round, and Stevie been agressive with his boxing and crazy elbow attacks but Mark was just taking the rounds with his clean body kicks and moving Stevie off balance with them.
Jordan was great as always and loved his stupid elbows been thrown about after all of about 10seconds, you watch me too much little man,lol.
Great show Guy well done and thanks for having us and for putting Mark on the show.
The following is a message from Tommy Young who no longer has an Ax account, he sent this to me and asked that I post it on his behalf:
"Just wanted to say well done to Keith and that i still have a sore jaw haha! As a fighter, a coach and a fan of muay thai i know that these things can happen to anyone, anytime they step into the ring..... that said i am still GUTTED to have lost the fight, the belt and to have had my first stoppage loss.
I am not gonna make any excuses, Keith launched in with a left hook at the same time my right hand decided to visit my chest and my chin popped up lol... shit happens and I made a mistake at a bad time.
I have never considered myself 'chinny' and have taken big shots from big guys (inc pro boxers) but I was caught flush on the money.
Anyone who has seen me fight knows this in not the kind of mistake I usually make and i would love the opportunity to redeem myself in a rematch at some point this year as I believe the fight was only just underway!
Im not on here to take anything away from Keith... the opposite in fact... well done mate and i hope we can do it again, but for now i wish the father and son champ team all the best!"
T
Im sure tommy will be back even better he's a superb athlete
Tommy your classy in and out the ring...true gentlemen
Well said Hitman... an absolute gentleman!
the things you have said about keith are words from a true sportsman and i know he will appreciate them as will wee corey.as i said earlier ive seen you fight a couple of times and you are a great fighter mate.
BRIAN JOHN DOUGLAS HERE USING JP`S SINCE I DNT HAVE ONE I TOLD YOU I`D GET YOU BACK LOLLOL
Lol not as good as mine lad.
