I am very pleased to announce that I will be holding the third ever K-Star Grand Prix – 8 man tournament at the Tower Ballroom in Birmingham on Sunday 30th September.
The first 2 K-Star Grand Prix’s featured fighters from Kung Fu and Karate taking on Muay Thai fighters. The first one was won by Damien Trainor and the Second Chris McDonald and were very successful.
I did try to re launch the K-Star Grand Prix in Nov 10, but I couldn’t get any Karate or Kung Fu fighters to enter, so I cancelled.
This time I have decided to make it a Muay Thai tournament at 63.5kg Max. I have chosen this weight division as I think there are some very exciting fighters at this weight and it will make for an amazing Grand prix.
There will be a total cash prize of £3,000.
So who is interested?
Anyone wanting to enter please email me at stevelogan@btconnect.com

You could be lining up some amazing shows this year Steve. What a year 2012 could be!!!!

Thank Jon, I'm looking forward to it .

steve are you putting any k-star boys in the tournament?

Ha ha Steve talking to your self again? Sorry I mean tenninelogan system. Nice!

ha ha shane you being a twat again? seems you are a little jealous that steve is putting on a tournament, any one would think that you're putting one on too.

I am more than interested get me in here :)

whats the winners purse? my lad Panicos will fight.

Shane and tenmust I'm not getting dragged into this shit again. I was accused of having a fake profile before, Dave Jackson looked into it and found that it wasn't me. I have a lot better things to do with my time. I don't need to talk to myself to get interest in this show. It's going to be brilliant without all that shit.
Thanks.

Thanks Steve, I thought that you was in Thailand with Dan then.
That's great Liam, I will email u all the details.

Paul Karpowicz (sorry if I spelt that wrong) is interested.

Whats the fight experience level for this Steve. Some exciting shows coming up glad to have my lads on them :)

Well Wicked..Nice one Mstr Steve L.... Be Good/Awesome step up from JUNE' show... Defo Tower/Venue Shows this year for all the Spectators and fighters!!

Be good if Tourney is 3x3 ftr from prel ims (entertaining for all :-) ), and a 5x3 ftr finals.. if i could I would, but means losing x2 legs and a bicep lol..

defo see top 8 names going into the hat !! even better if a Thai enters :-)

Can Adam Boyce make 63.5 lol?

No steve ill be in thailand until the 5th of september :)

That's great news Steve.
No mark 66 is as low as Adam can go.
I have had a lot of interest from some great fighters for this, the K-Star Grand Prix is going to be very exciting this time.

Luke turner, Greg Wooten?

Sorry Kev I missed your post earlier. At the moment I am not putting a limit on the number of fights. I just want the best fighters involved. Let's see who is interested.
It's always good to have your guys on the show, they always put on great performances.

I have had a great response and so far the following fighters have 100% confirmed.
1, Thawisk Nampham, SMT
2, Mike Bird, Bad Company
3, Yahia Abazia, Ko Gym
4, Panikos Yousf, Liam's gym
5,
6,
7,
8,
I am just waiting for confirmation off a few other fighters.

*mark bird not mike bird from ours :)

Why u not in Luke?

because Mark is in it ;)

Is Mark Bird the lad who fought on Liam and Andys show? Isn't they two badco fighters with same surname? If it is he had a good style and seemed very confident, ain't seen him fight before.

Pretty sure Luke fights A class and has said many times 63.5 is too big.....

Luke can fight from 61.5-65 no problem hes strong enough at 65 to fight anyone...Marks a good upcoming fighter and this is a great chance for him. think he might cause a few upsets

63.5 is my ideal weight. not in it cos i wasnt asked to be in it lol mr smith must have other things lined up. Marks got a real chance in this. hes a great prospect.

Can Josh Palmer make 63.5kg?

Also now got mikey wiseman, Griphouse

Max Skidmore from Chao Phraya is now in.
Starting to look interesting .

Paul Karpowicz is in too.
I have a lot of interest in this Grand Prix, I will also need reserve fights for the grand Prix.
This will be the third K-Star Grand Prix and I am sure that this one will be even more exciting than the first 2 were. I am looking forward to it.

Hoping for a Paul Karpowicz vs panicos in the final that would be some fight I'm backing Paul but both fighters are class

Paul Kapowikz is a amazing fighter!

Sorry Luke my mistake, it was the 67kg tourney that you said was too heavy (I think)

Yes Josh Palmer can make 63.5kgs hed love to be on this.

Best of luck Steve looks great.

No k-star in this? What about the Copestakes?

i think one of the Copestakes is 59kg and the other 67kg

ok Liam. 59 going up to 63 is quite a jump and most on the list so far will be boiling down to get to that weight.

If Jonno keeps fighting he could enter.

Josh Palmer the knee machine!

Carlton Tieu is now in the tournament. A great mix, this going to be a very interesting tournament.

Lieu

Carlton vs Paul is what I want to see both are very quick and explosive

The K-Star Grand Prix Line up is now:-
1, Thawisk Nampham, SMT
2, Mark Bird, Bad Company
3, Yahia Abazia, Ko Gym
4, Panikos Yousf, Liam's gym
5, Steven Hodgers, Sitjaipetch
6, Paul Karpowicz, 2 Technical
7, Max Skidmore, Choa Phraya
8, Mikey Wiseman, Griphouse

This show will also have a full undercard of great fights. Instructors please send your lists to stevelogan@btconnect.com

So carltons not in this?

Oops sorry, yes he is!

my money is on Mr Hodgers ... deffo going to this

Panicos to win this for me!

Dean Ford does Panicos fight for you?

Delighted to be in this :) Thanks for he opportunity Steve !!

Best of luck to Stephen Hodgers!

panicos fights for me.

whos out if carltons in?

No he fights for Liams Gym, I meant that's my prediction.

Stephen Hodgers all the way, constantly exciting n improvin fighter!

Thawisak will give this a good go and has a very good chance in my opinion.

Is Thawisak a thailand name?

yea guys, i made 63.5 kg three times last year, as long as i have a month or so to get the weight down. contact Scott fitplus@hotmail.com if you are interested. cheers josh

Also Liam/mr Smith , if Luke T is comfortable up to 65kg, why dont we try and organize that fight between us ,that was supposed to happen in Ireland last september. contact Scott at fitplus@hotmail.com

Looking forward to seeing Stephen Hodgers in this tourney :-)

Josh Palmer v Luke Turner do it on English soil.

cheers Damien . . I wont disappoint :)

Turner or Wooten vs Palmer would be quality! Turner vs Wooten needs to happen this year though, has the potential to be one of the best domestic dust ups in a while!

looking forward to this

Cant wait for it :)

dean luke is fighting wooten in june i think or july

4 man tourny, wooten, palmer, panicos and luke turner ??

Is that 2 tournaments in 1 night or just a suggestion?

Really strond weight class for this tourney!! Good luck with the show.

Would like to see mikey wiseman win it tho. He will be strong at that weight, has fought in the tournament format beofre and has been improving with every fight!

Really strong weight class for this tourney!! Good luck with the show.

Would like to see mikey wiseman win it . He will be strong at that weight, has fought in the tournament format before and has been improving with every fight!

We have some great fighters in this tourney.

big tourny..but why none of the copestakes brothers in it?or any kstar fighters. Strange. Exp as its your own show.

Lots of birmingham shows never put ther own fighters on ther shows. Why is that?

I imagine its because Dave Copestake fights at 67, Carl at 59-61, Epps 69 and the tourny is at 63? Not rocket Science is it.

We always showcase our fighters on our events and this will be no different.

Neither of the Copestakes are in the tournament as they are not that weight and at present we don't have a 63.5kg fighter of that calibre to put into it.

The undercard will feature some of the talent we have at present in the gym.

Is epps a coperstake brother ?

Maybe no fighters came forward to fight in it. the line up always changes so you could see anybody in there.

steve logan always has his own fighters on his shows. i have seen kstar fighters fighting all over and at a good standard. i look forward the tournament and have enjoyed all the others. its good to see muay thai moving forwards.

I only just saw the last few posts.
As everyone has pointed out already, we do not have an active K-Star fighter at that weight. So no K-Star fighters in the Grand Prix.
There will however be at LEAST 5 K-Star fighters on the show, so we will be well represented.
It's looking to be a great show already and we still have nearly 4 months to go!

I am also trying to match the following:-
Male 56kg 1w 1d
Male 78kg 2w 1L 1d
Male 77kg 6w 2L
Male 78kg 2w 3L
Male 69-72kg 7w 6L
Male 72kg 10f
Male 65kg 4w 9L 1d
Male 88kg 10f
Male 78kg 1w
Male 75kg 8F

what about tops from kstar.always exciting to watch. Did he not figt at 64 last time also?

Kam_boxer you sound like you are about 64kilos why dont you have a go.

ryan...i am about 87k...but am sure me and you can meet in the middle :)

I cant get lower than 100kilos so you can come up if you want.

go on a diet then you fat fucker by the look of you its not muscle

Ha pot kettle black there you fat bald cunt. Eating covilles jiz has made you put in weight and go bald.

jm jm you twat im 67kg what wrong with you

I guess you're just bitter then jm1985 as it seems you're pissing everyone off on every thread.

I think your scales must be broke. Either that or your guessing the weight because your muffin top over hang is blocking the view.

no marcfreefight deffinetly lost weight when he lost the testicle during that fight.

I have no time for you and Lee any more. like I said we are through.

ryan you keep saying you have no time for me and lee any more we are through , what the fuck you on about thisis a forum , we are not mates i dont no you never wont to ;you say we are through like me and you where pals or something fuck off you weirdo. as for the one testicle shit there you go again talking like a kid,my to bollocks are fine thanks , jm 85 what a twat you ive seen you and worried no im not.

Ha you should be worried because you will be losing the other nut.

your a silly silly boy jm

Why does every thread go off topic when jm1985 has posted? It's getting boring now. Keep it on topic now. This will be a good show.

Why are you so fast to jump on my back? Maybe your in a three way with Marc and lee?

I'm not but if you cut all your bullshit maybe me and everyone else wouldn't have a need to jump on your back. Every post of yours is either a sarcastic post, name calling like a five year old or your assuming about something you actually have no clue about. Just keep it on topic.

this bloke doesnt get it muay1 hes just on here to have a laugh , as for thai boxing he dont reaaly care about just wonts to play the fool, thats fine no problems,

Well said muay 1 afew good tossers/ trolls on here always same ones too so it seems

Lol Gheorghe is an animal!

Just added another great fight to the show.
Lee Coville (Cambridge) V Carl Copestake (K-Star)

This will be a very exciting fight due to the very different styles.

Lee is more experienced and a more Thai style and Copestake has a very energetic, aggressive style.

This is a fight that Carl Copestake has wanted for a long time.

Some of Lee's accomplishments past and present
titles held
WMTO S/area
WMTO English
UKMF British
Bangla Stadium (Phuket) Thailand
Golden belt World Thai boxing 
WFKKO World K1
UCF World MMA 

this is going to be a great fight carls a top bloke and i respect very much ,lee is looking forwrd to this very much ,well done steve great match

Plus a few other fights to be confirmed.

Plus the 3rd K-Star Grand Prix under 63.5kg 8 man tournament

Panikos has pulled out of the Grand Prix now, so looking for someone to replace him.

2 really interesting undercard fights right there:

Lee Coville, Cambridge V Carl Copestake, K-Star

Reece Crooke, Evolution V Adrian Maguire, K-Star



Good luck with the show Steve

Can't believe all these pullouts in the 8 man Tourny, why do people put themselves forward when they are not 100% committed for it. I'm sure it's a hard enough job just getting undercard fights sorted,but when the show is based around the 8 man it's a little bit annoying. Always seems to happen on tourney's for some reason, I was a previous day replacement on Team TIEU's one. They are a great spectacle for the crowd and usually produce a lot of excitement. There surely must be some guys out there at 63.5 max who want a piece of this,especially those that have been let down on other shows.

Any update on the tourny ?

Another great local match up for the undercard Jason Dutton , Impact walsall V Aundre Groce, Firewalker Wolverhampton.
These are 2 massive guys (Jason Dutton 120kg) so this is going to be a very explosive fight!!!

This is a good match... Jason's size and experience against Aundre's speed and youth....

Yes, I am looking forward to this one!

The curse of the 8 man Steve good luck with show

You know it Martin!
This is my 3rd 8 man grand Prix and they don't get any easier!
Al good lol

With regards to the 8 man. Am aware that bad co have a fighte in by the weight class reminded me of another fighter they have at that weight. Is John Dennis still fighting? Ain't heard much about him for a while. Seen him fight loads alwas good to watch. All the best for the show great line up.

I now need opponents for Dan Edwards 78kg A Class and Adrian Maguire 52-54kg A Class.

The current fight card INCLUDES the K-Star Grand Prix PLUS

Lee Coville, Cambridge V Carl Copestake, K-Star

TBC V Adrian Maguire, K-Star

TBC V Mark Timms, K-Star

Jonathan Moore,KO South V Aiden Lee, Fearless

So I am looking for another 2 fighters.

Carl copestake your gonna get banged.
Jasom Dutton your gonna get banged.

Looking forward to this show as I've not been able to make the last 2 K Star shows. I was really gutted about missing Trainor V Howson 4 on the last one.

Is Nathan Epps not fighting on this show? I saw him in Cambridge earlier in the year and thought it was a great fight.

No Nathan is not fighting on this one, he is fighting in an 8 man tournament in Warrington.
I have a few last minute matches that I trying match, can anyone help with the following please?
All male
60kg 6w 3L

The title is currently held by Pindi Madahar, who is mark Perrins coach, he has kindly agreed to vacate the title so that Mark and Max can fight for it.

I am very pleased that K-Star now has the support of a major website. www.whatismuaythai.com
will be giving us coverage of our shows on their website.

Sweet, only 2 weeks to go :)

Have you got the full tournament line up sorted yet? Can't wait for the show, I've never seen a Thai Boxing tournament before, all fights I've seen, the fighters I've seen give it their all in 1 fight, can't imagine them having to fight again 30 mins or an hour later! Dunno how they do it, I'm just glad I only have to sit n watch :-)

Do you have the full line up list including undercard? Looks like its going to be a great show

Going to be a hard night for Kstar. Can see both Rai and Copestake getting stopped.

K-Star always have hard fights, it's the only way to improve, you have to push yourself to new limits. Both Pete and carl are up for the challenge.

Always have hard fights as in getting mark Beale completely caved in?

Mr Hill,

£100 on a bet - Rai to WIN,

See you @ weigh in , and we can shake on it. And you can purchase some tickets, if any avaiable.

Yes - defo hard fight, we always have hard fights, again I will give away experience to my oppenent at Home Ground. ( Last time over 50 fight expericence to M.B)

Its what make K Star show's explosive, as many a fighetr from the K Star camp give away expericence. To Learn, you have to beat and fight the best! Oush..

You really think alot of your self. But seem to forget you've been sparked out a couple of times now.

''getting mark Beale completely caved in?''
Not sure what that means, but Mark is a good fighter and on paper that was just as hard a fight a Karl Joyce (or Lee Coville for Carl)
Mark Beale is far more experienced that Karl Joyce.
You obviously agree that I have given my fighters hard fights as you think that they will both get sparked, so I don't really see what your point is?

Is this a hard fight for Pete or not?

I have a poster on the wall in the gym 'sometimes you win and sometimes you learn!'

So even if Carl and Pete loose, they will both learn something from the fights and get better.

Good luck with the show Steve wish u all the best!
It is better to put your fighters in hard fights than hand pick easy fights an make them become paper champions as it is called,
There are a lot of gyms that do this at least u can hold your head up high an say u ain't 1 of them gyms

ha- ha,

sparked out ? never - TKO yes, agreed couple of time ( x2), again , against x2 very tuff fighters,

only K/O I remeber was last chrimbo....17 pints of Guiness i was told, x1 bottle of Jameson's and some shots..that was some K.O :-)

Just realized - TROLL name/affiliated with.

I'm suprised Your calling out of people hasnt earned you a line of people to tko you as you put it.

Not a troll just saying what everyone else is thinking.

Love and Peace

Have to agree that absolutely no point in taking easy fights, don't see the point in making the sacrifices involved just to walk over an opponent. Would much rather loose to someone good than beat someone not as exp/technical.

lol @ Pete "love and peace". Well done for not lowering yourself to such an intelligent contributer.

JonP, I must be growing up lol..

elitekev you are spot on there. theres no point taking on opponents you are going to beat with such ease. You see a lot of shows now where they fly in some poor guy from another country with hardly any experience so he can get beat up to make there guy look good. Its really bad, you should see some of those shows thomas hill and you would be disgusted.

Always better to test yourself against a tougher opponent than take an easy fight.

Nice 1 kev/Mike, Yep from what i understand my opp is ranked 3rd and 2nd in 2 weight catagories, and has more FTR experience than me, and also came over to UK last year - 4 Nations and Won..

am i ranked, nope, do i have ftr exp, nope, do i have any belts nope...paper made nope...

Heart of a lion YES..

see ya at the show...

who are you fighting Rai?

Love him self ? Yes. Attitude of a 14year old ? Yes. Punches like his bowling a cricket ball? Yes.

i agree that Carl Copestake gonna get banged but Pete Rai is a banger!!
Cricket is a indian sport so thats why he punches like that and it dont matter how you win if you win by KO

I would love myself if i banged out mans so many times like Rai did.

Desperate to match my lad Adam on this show, he has been let down on four consecutive occasion now on 4 diff shows. He is 60-62kg, only had 1 fight 1 win. Surely there must be someone out there who can fight him. He is away for a month with work after this show so its pretty much his last chance this year. Please help...

Can anyone match Adam from Thaitans? I have had another couple of pullouts, so I will put up a list soon.

T Hill, :-), Love thy neighbour also, thanks for the age compliment :-) and last - is that over hand or underhand lol, but yes in my youth i was a great cricket player..in the blood enit.. look out for the yorkie.. :-) as this time I have the use of elbow's - yep - i will be participating in the ART of 8 Limbs on the 30th..

Thanks R Mboxer.. you a hulkfan ? O chak de phatey!

10 days and counting :) Good luck to all the K Star fighters.

you will Pete rai you always do.

There was never gonna be an 8 man typical promoter ploy Birmingham guys are renowned for it dick Turpin extraordinaire!!"

This would have been the 3rd 8 man that Steve had organised, the other two went ahead, unfortunately it looks that some of the fighters that were supposed to be in the tournament have decided to take fights elsewhere next month so probably decided against taking the risk of injury and potential loss of earnings in their next fight :(

Will still be a great show.

Well how long ago was the last tournament then viper? Exactly years ago I think it's silly that promoters don't be fair same at black widow show where dean James was meant to fight and a top Thai was meant to be coming people are sick of being lied to. Like he originally said there's a lot of fighters at 63kg but yet from 8 his down to 4 where's the other fighters since there's so many exciting ones!? Either that or bad planning making an event the same weekend as ringmasters! Which the promotor was likely to have known. I'm not bashing Steve Logan in just making a legitimate point viper.....mma lol

I apologise in advance for not addressing you by your name but you have not indicated who you.

However, you did write..... 'typical promoter ploy Birmingham guys are renowned for it dick Turpin extraordinaire!!'

This comment is clearly directed as to your opinion regarding not only Steve Logan as a promoter but also generalising against Birmingham promoters and as you used 'Dick Turpin' as an example, you also are clearly surmising that they are all robbers.

So using the term 'legitimate' as per you saying '....in just making a legitimate point....' makes no sense because if this was your genuine 'legitimate' opinion then it would be justifiable and not in the spurious vein that you write it.

Steve Logan along with many promoters, not all from Birmingham I may add, have to put up with last minute cancellations for a plethora of reasons for which I am sure they could all write a best seller book on the subject. It is a bane to the promoter when, after literally months of planning and advertising, they are subject to pull outs, some genuine but many for very poor reasons. These happen at very short notice (in Yogi's case literally the day before).

I can only surmise that your intention when writing this was not one of a 'legitimate point' but more of one with a poor agenda due to you anonymity and your jocular signing off as '...mma lol'

With regards

SHAUN

That's correct you are right kru Shaun. It's rather frustrating that people pay to see shows and rarely do they live up to the hype I find this happens often I was very excited about this tournament. I feel people should be held accountable for there 'pulling out' why has max pulled out however still fighting on the show though?

You are right Shaun it is one of those things doesn't mean we do not have the right to a opinion on the matter.

Also I used the term lol as mma viper decided to report my post which I didn't think he needed to but as I said. From 8 to 4 thats quite bad for a tournament?

Ahh well as long as hodgers and lieu meet in the final I'm sure te show will be a cracker there is still copestake vs coville. To be excited about.

It will be a good show, Copestake v Coville will be fireworks. I hope you have an enjoyable night

I reported your post? really? well you learn something everyday.

Why would I report your post?

coville is ready for war any body having bets on this fight

Yeah I bet Carl will get banged out.

fireworks

Today i have had to make the difficult decision to scrap the tournament. I was going to cancel the whole show due to the low ticket sales etc, but decided to try and salvage part of the show.
I am truly gutted for the fighters, I know that they have worked hard but it just didn't make sense to carry on.
So we now have new fight card of
C Class Fights
1,Joe OMAA V james Bowen, Chao Phraya
2 Adam Earnshaw, Firewalker V Scott Court, Thaitans
3 Kurtis Farr Ely Warlords V Paul McAndrew K-Star
4 Leban OMAA V Paul Hattiloney Thaitans
B Class
5 Aundre Groce Firewalker V Jason Dutton Impact

6 Karl Joyce Galway, Ireland V Pete Rai K-Star
7 Mark Perrins TMA V Max Skidmore Chao Phraya
8 Lee Coville Cambridge V Carl Copestake K-Star

A Class
6 Karl Joyce Galway, Ireland V Pete Rai K-Star
IKF Midland Area Title
7 Mark Perrins TMA V Max Skidmore Chao Phraya
A Class
8 Lee Coville Cambridge V Carl Copestake K-Star

Are the Karl Joyce vs Pete, Coalville bs copestake still ftr?

Beat me to it. Lol

Gutted for you Steve, The Tower Ballroom shows are great shows. No doubt it'll still be a great atmosphere and fantastic fights.

Steve

Sorry to hear that, hopefully it wont deter you from running shows again in the future.

paddy

i thought area titles were b class max?

Thanks Paddy and Paul.
Yes Area titles are B Class, I was in a rush when I wrote the list, so I made a mistake. Sorry about that.

was buzzin, the more A the better!

You love a lot of A, so I hear Liam.

Gutted for ya........... so long in the pipeline too. The tower shows I've been to have all had good fights and decent crowds. It's a great venue too.

Is it down to the reasons of individuals for pull outs or would you say it's the wider climate as a whole? I.e lots of shows around same time etc

Gutted the tournament's off :( reckon there'll b some good fights anyway!

ViperMMA tournament now cancelled which made sense you see! nuff said!

Jay

On another note Copestake doesn't really fair well really he hasnt fought in a while, a bridge too far against such a skilled fighter Like coville who is always in great shape all year round but copestake has the experience to be in there and has beaten some of the best! and Pete Rai Great banger but it takes more ring intellect to fight A-Class and a guard which he has neither! Plus he isnt a Warlord so giving away so much experience may be his undoing unfortunately!

Jay

I'm glad that you agree with me that they both have tough fights Jazzy.

Umacrew, who knows????

Ive known Steve Logan over 20 years and never known or heard of him try and cheat anyone of anything.

Best of luck with the show Steve:)

Thanks Paul.

All the best with your show Steve :)

Have I really just read all that shit above?
When you are a promoter, perhaps you will come back with something sensible and balanced to say on the matter!

Would like to congratulate Carl Copestake in his win tonight against a very tough opponent Lee Coville, I know Carl has wanted to fight Lee for a long time. Well done in taking the win Carl, I'm very proud of him as I taught both Carl and Dave when they 1st started at K-STAR as kids : )

good work ad earnshaw, a real sound kid!

I would just like to say well done tonight to my brother who showed a lot of heart against a tough opponent..... All his hard work has paid off and as i predicted he put too much pressure on lee and shut alot of critics up....well done carl

Although the show was doomed with the tourney pulled. This was still a great show. Goto feel for the promoter on the poor turn out. How ever I sat there eating humble pie after a great performance from Copestake. You've always been the brother with the better chin. Welldone on the topper for fighting his heart out against the lad from Shaun's gym. Heart of a lion.

You actually write something positive about this show but still can't help yourself having a sly dig at his brother, there's no need for it, anyone who gets in the ring has my upmost respect. I'm not ashamed to say I would never have the courage to do it. I don't know a lot about Thai Boxing, I can't even pretend to understand the scoring but I enjoy watching it and I look forward to seeing your name on a fight card or you promoting a show Thomas Hill so I can witness a true master class!!!

Carl might not be the 'perfect' Thai boxer. He is now number 1. He deserves recognition for this achievement, and his past accomplishments. Well done Carl

Get in Carl well done! Always had the heart and determination to beat anyone, and deserve every win you get and have got previously

did mark bird fight 2nite ?

Adrian Maguire how does beating Coville Exactly make Carl No1 now??? well done Carl however, knew he would be in with a good shout.

Coville is/was number 1 at that weight I think, so beating the best makes you better then the best, hence number 1? Please correct me if I'm missing something but seems like 2 guys put everything on the line today but that's still not enough when they win?

i think the other 3 above carl would argue tht point adrian.
not that i'm tryin to take away from a great win for carl, whos a crackin guy and a credit to his gym

Rich Ward i think you are missing a trick! you've gotta fight consistently and get results against others in the category beating the number 1 may move you up the rankings however i dont think it makes you jump the queue to top guy, after one fight. Again taking nothing away from Carl he won his bout!

Jay

Mr hill if u would like to test my chin then stop hiding behind text and step up to the challenge like a real man........ Doubt it ur a coward..... And would this really be marcus hill? The guy with his head that far up lees ass that he practically speaks for him..hmmmm i wonder

If they think Copestake isn't number 1 (having beat the number 1) surely they have 2 fight him to prove they're better?

FYI Rich Ward

"Criteria for the ratings included a minimum of 5 fights and the ratings were based on quality of opponenets the overall fighters records, their last 5 fights and how active they currently are."

Jay

Thiomas hill is marcfreefight? I know Mark well and I dont thin he would do that.
Unfortunatly Lee could not stick to the plan that was worked on in the gym and thats why he lost.

I would have gone with Liam Robbinson to be thomas hill not Marcus.

Lee Coville is an amazing fighter, he was the man to beat but he has been beaten, maybe it would be diffetent on another night but tonight he is not number one

Either way........cowards, its not that hard to use ur real name instead of making up names and doing this name calling crap because nobody know who u are........very brave of you.....at least if i have something to say i would just as easily say it to your face

congrats carl mate

Well done to all the fighters, some brilliant fights tonight. The standard in the UK is getting better all the time. The standard of the C class fighters on this show was amazing.

This show was a nightmare for me and I was going to cancel the whole show on thursday. I had to make the very difficult decision to scrap the 8 man/4man tournament, that was a very difficult thing to do.

I have had a lot of regular support from a lot of gyms/instructors over the years and I didn't want to let them down, so i went ahead with the show. The show was a financial disaster, but fight wise a great success.

I would like to thank all the gyms that got behind this show and gave their support and a big sorry to the fighters that I had to let down and I hope that they all get fights very soon. Thanks To all the officials for doing a great job and crippler struggling through the traffic to get to us.

I have a brilliant team of helpers who do a great job and make sure that the show runs really smooth. I also have brilliant set of Instructors who do a great job making sure that all the fighters are ready. thanks to you all.

I was very supprised that Thomas Hillsaid what he did even if it was a bit of a swip. thanks.

I am going to make it cheaper for muay Thai fans to come to my shows, so please visit www.muaythaiShows.com for details.

Well done Pete rai and Carl Copestake for not getting sparked and standing up to very good fighters. These tough fights will make you better.

Wasn't meant as a swipe. Been a manc we known for never thinking before speaking, in this case typing. Show was worth the drive. Well done all.

I have to disagree that you are not number one if you beat the number one fighter.

If that was a title fight and Lee was the champion and Carl beat him Carl would be the champion, Same thing here!!

It's crazy to say anything else!

This is also not the case with Dean James, Andy Howson and Damien Trainor for example.

The winner of those fights went to the top, above the fighter they had beaten. No one took into account who else they had fought, how active they had been etc, so why should this be any different??

If Carl isn't number one now after beating the number one, then it's just another example/reason why no one can take our sport seriously and we stay where we are, treading water for the last 20 years.

bullshit!

bullshit thomas hill you are not a manchester.

Thats just another example of controling the rankings.....we all know people are intimidated by kstar and thats why its so hard to get these fights and also difficult to make our names up the rankings.............i think our gym is definitally as intimidating and as advanced as bad company...........its time somebody did some housekeeping to the rankings

A very good show. Carl did well not exchanging shots with Lee and used a long range to keep Lee away.
Carl is very skillfull and showed a lot of new tricks in the fight. Lee had no answers to anything Carl did.
This is a very good victory for Carl. I would like to see a rematch fight again next year maybe.

Ha HA Dave must be drinking when he wrote that last post it is 1am. Please ignore what he said about BC lol

Dave don't get upset, these people have no control or imput over the rankings, ignore them.
The real people that run the rankings wont ignore Carl's achievements.

Mike bowen, Carl won the fight, but I don't think that you was at the show because that's not how carl was fighting.

Lee Coville is a very good fighter and he did have plenty of answers to Carl, but Carl won.

BTW Raf, you are making yourself sound old lol

how did Carl fight? what was his tactics?

Bad Company..............Jordan Watson, Liam Harrison,James France, Andy Howson, Luke Turner to name a few.....................Your smoking crack Dave thats quality i dont think modern day K-star get close to that apart from one famous fighter! I know you made that comment to put the cat amongst the pigeons ha ha!

Maybe he means street fighting. Birmingham street fighters are very good.
I heard they can catch punches.

We should not take the attention away from carl copestake.

Jazzyjay are you a fresh prince of belair fan? Did you see Carl and lee fight?

I am old Steve, I just look young : ) back to topic great show despite on the pull of the tournament, some good c class fighters was impressed with Adam Earnshaw from Firewalker some strong body kicks, fair play to Scott Court from Thaians who held on till the final bell.

was that at 59 60 61 ?

what r u on about Meehan i just read the above info how would i know whos got a better chin and why would i be bothered,do u think ive got the time to create an account to talk about carl copestake? neither brother have ever said or done anything to me, they fought on my show 11 years ago, always polite lads, get some solid facts before throwing accusations around.
I think the rankings are having a revamp anyway so hopefully will reflect this and carl would definitely be above Lee, i did not see the fight but we know the level Lee fights at and has been fighting at so i am sure carl put on an excellent performance.

fight was at 59

It's very sad that every thread on ax gets dragged down by trolls shit stirring and slagging people off.

I haven't spoken to Dave about this, but he hardly ever posts on ax, so probably unaware of the wankers that post here and assumed that their opinions carried some weight. He would also be very angry at both he and his brother being insulted and abused.

We all know that Bad Company are the number one gym and deserve all the recognition they get, so please ignore that, Dave was probably very upset and angry about all the insults aimed at him and his brother.

It's also wrong to accuse people of having these fake accounts, very unfair as it's very difficult to prove that it's not you and sometimes shit sticks as they say, so very unfair.

Some of these people are very close to us as they know a lot about us, so probably one of our 'friends' very sad.

It's very sad that every thread on ax gets dragged down by trolls

couldnt agree more steve, the quality of content on here has fell through the floor due to these fucking idiots, its a shame was a great site a few years ago now all the arguing with no namers has just killed it.

I thought this was a great show. Given how it fell apart Steve managed to get 8 cracking fights on. All fights were really well matched. Was really pleased with how my guys did against two tough opponents. Adam Earnshaw has really progressed as a fighter, his body kick was mega strong. Very unfortunate for Scott to of picked up a 2 inch split to his right shin in 1st round, even still was very pleased with his performance against such a strong fighter in Adam. Even more impressive is Scott has only been training for 12 months. Paul Hattiloney has grown as a fighter since his 1st fight in Telford in July, very pleased with his win. Also fantastic judging and reffering on the night too. Pity more people didn't get to serene show.

Robinson you have done it before when you insulted and impersonated my friend Sandy Holt!
This is why people think it is you because you are a shit stirrer and have had many accounts, I can never understand why someone would that it just doesn't make sense. You should always post with your real name!
I have no genuine evidence but I'm wil do all I can to make sure I protect all the good people from horrible people of the world. I
Well done on your show Steve logan. And well done to Calr I know Lee trained very hard for this.

the thing with sandy was 11 years ago for christs sake and was a laugh, me+sandy get on well now, you think it is me because you dont know the ins and outs of kstar like steve does who already has a hunch who it is, like i said i dont have time to be doing that and wouldnt want to theres comments all over ax from that username and my views are not shared, especially on the copestake brothers who ive always got on well with.

I agree with Steve Dave was angry that's his brother and people are slagging him fact is he was superb last night not the most conventional Thai boxer but knows what his weapons are and knows to use them to great effect he showed why his a multiple time British champion? So Meehan nobody's. Abusing trouble except you and yes I watched the fight I watched Carl clock up countless points by catching the kick and kneeing repeatedly to great effect! Would like to see Carl fight others in the weight class that's it.

Buzzing for carl but the rankings update is wrong in my opinion. Colville hasn't been active in England in ages and two of the people under carl have beat him convincingly. To jump to 3# but not be above rung or keith but be above me , calder and jose ect makes no logical sense. Are rankings opinion now?

Buzzing for carl but if he's above me and i've beaten him surely we have a score to settle.
I like him, I know colville was a fight he wanted for a long time, and i'm pleased he won.
But i will beat him again. And i'm alot stronger now than when i was 19.
Someone put it on before i fight Doc please

Carl is now number 1, officially as he beat the number 1.

Apparently Rung has retired, so that is why he has been removed. Which is fair enough, i suppose.

The ranking is a good system once it is established and settled down as it creates these exciting situations.

When I was running the WMTO years ago I had a ranking in place and it created some very competetive fights.

Jonno you beat Carl and Jordan Calder beat carl also.

Carl had beaten Mark brown twice before, but Mark was still ranked above Carl.

The last time I looked the rankings had changed the weight divisions slightly, so a weight would need to be set.

Carl fights at 59kg max.

I wont get into weight stuff and I know you made the weight easilly for Brian's tourny, so I know there would be no problems.

But I want to ask you a question Jonno, as Carl is number 1 now, if you fight again and beat Carl, would you want to be number 1?? I bet you would (don't blame you)and thats how we/Carl feel. Carl deserves to be number 1.

I have had a bit of trouble matching Carl, so we have worked on fighting lee for over 2 years and finally got the match.

Now this is why the rankings are good for the sport if done properly. Both yourself and Jordan have shown no interest in fighting Carl again, carl did ask for a rematch with Jordan.

BUT because you had won, there was no reason for you to want the fight again as you had moved on. Also from a fan's point of view, who would be interested in watching the fight again??

BUT things have changed now. Carl has taken a risk, fought a more experienced fighter and won. NOW you and probably some of the others will want to fight Carl, because you want what he has, the number one spot!

Good for you and Carl and also good for the fans, now they will be interested to see if Carl has improved, is he better than you as he is above you or was it a fluke or just Carls style works better against Lee than it did against you? who knows, but all good?

Also I am working on a way for Muay Thai Fans to get discounted tickets to Muay Thai shows at www.MuayThaiShows.com

i wasn't having a go, just to clarify steve. I didn't get carls 3# spot when i beat him.
Surely you have to fight a few of the top ranked 5 fighters?

Anyway i don't want to get on a negative vibe or put a bad twist on carls win.
Very happy for him and i know he has put alot of hard work in.
I have nothing but respect for carl, but i aint going anywere ;)
Dont want to troll ax or moan,
carl pulled of a big win.

59kg. we have a score to settle :).

Big well done on this show KStar... easily could have been pulled but ended up with 8 quality fights... which personally is as many as I like to see on a show... from a Firewalker point of view we had 2 cracking learning contests... Adam show good style and power in his kicks against a tough and determined opponent in Scott... we bit off a little more than we could chew in Aundre's fight with Jason... Jason used his experience and low kicks well to win the contest... Aundre has gained priceless experience to move forward with in only his 4th fight... I believe having just turned 24 and developing all the time Aundre will be the future of heavyweights in the UK... special mention to Tops who performed at short notice with great spirit and won the respect of everyone in the audience....

Thanks Joby, always good to have you guys on the show, Same to you Kev, thanks to gyms like you for supporting the shows.
The standard of fighters is getting better and better all the time.

Jonno, I know you wasn't having a go, and I think that the best thing about having rankings is so that fighters can set goals for themselfs and makes every fight meaningfull if it means a win will move you up the rankings.

When you beat Carl, you should have gone above him. The rankings are being updated more regularly now, so hopefully things like that will be less common.

Things like that are what I feel hold the sport back more than anything. People are always saying we need someone with loads of money and someone to get us on TV etc. That would be nice and would help but I think its all the stuff that makes no logical sense that holds us back the most. People /fans can not get 'involved' when we have stuff like that happening.

Fighters beat someone and they are still below that person, 2 fighters fight each other, one wins by KO. 2 months later the fighter that lost and got KO'd fights for a title!! Etc etc thats the crazy shit that holds us back and disheartens fighters.

One day ...

Your right steve. My initial reaction was abit much. If hes 1 from lees i cant dispute it. Now hopefully i can get the rematch because carl is the man to beat now

haw, jonno theres a feckin queue!!!!

I stake first claim you old cunt lol,
1-0 to me so i think carl will want that first ;)

the fight between lee and carl was very good i did the corner for lee and thought lee won, carl is a very busy fighter and lee is very tec , carls had a good game plan by keeping busy with lee but lee was alot more cleaner with his thai boxing but not taking anything away from carl,dave this is me marcus noy any other , carls been waiting to fight lee for a while now and now they have shared the ring would carl do us the favou a do it again ??????????

where can i find the rankings?

keith i thought u were retiring

Hi Steve pass on my congratulations to Carl well done :)
You said above that Carl had asked for a re-match with Jordan ??
That's the 1st i have heard of this ??
I agree that Carl should be number 1 because he beat the current number 1.

Liam I'm shite at retiring, tried it twice. Keep getting good offers to share the ring with some cracking fighters.
Some are not so keen to afford me the same curtosy >:(

i think fights with jonno and oconnor be good keith

Was an Honour to share the ring with my experienced oppenent, My 1st FTR Done, and I am Well Well Happy with the performance.

Thank you again Mr Logan & K Star Team, Family and Freinds and Trolls lol :-)

Yes Pete you looked great in there.
I think that you supprised a few people.

:-)

If anyone is interested in getting reduced tickets to the next show , please join my mailing list www.muayThaiShows.com

marcfreefight you thought that Lee won?
Who was judging the fights and who was the ref? Can we get any other opinions on who thought won. marcfreefight you are the only one so far to say that Lee won, are you talking shit or does any one else think this?

The result was unanimous

Who judged the show the IKF?

I have been afforded :\ lol
nice one from Steve and Carl :D
