Thanks Paul for posting my show on the ax most appreciated..
I have been working real hard to put this show together as you know
thanks for your moral support it has been much needed and appreciated
so far fingers crossed all fighters on track the worse is when you get pull outs last minute but everyone close to me has been so supportive on this event.The fighters have been excited and happy to participate....
It has been something I have been thinking about putting together for about one year and a half and now the time has come.....
Big Thanks to everyone who has supported me....
Regards
Lucy Tui

Well I wish I could see this, it sure looks awesome. Im putting my money on Raphael tai and Jason suttie. I hope these guys do really well.

Lucy,

maybe you could tell us more about KB4.

Is this a one-off 4 man eliminator for both divisions, or do you plan to host a series leading up to a KB4 King?

Hi Paul,

Thanks for asking about the KB4 this is going to be a on going competition we will be having two other different divisions on the 21st September as well probably looking at the 86kg and 67kg divisions Kickboxing rules only.....
Having had the experience in the K1 and seen how it was run and listening to fighters I thought of this idea.....
I thought that this would suit the NSW fighters more than others because of the restrictions here in NSW and I did not what to see them left behind so to speak.....
Where the style of tournament fighting is concerned...
I would see the fighters after there first fight battered and bruised and thought of a way of fighting where there would be more technique used
and time for them to be able to recover and have extra round of been able to win the fight without having to get rid of there opponents and gives there other fighter time to come back and letting the public see good quality fights...
To be able to fight in this type of tournament you have to be 18yrs and over had over 6 fights in kickboxing or thaiboxing or Boxing...you can be a professional or amatuer........
you will be in two groups A or B you fight 4x2min first up if you win from your group then you proceed to the final round which is 5x2min with 1 min rest......there will be NO DRAWN ROUND NO EXTRA ROUND A WINNER
MUST BE CHOSEN...........
In the Amatuer tournament divisions you must fight 3x2min rds then 4x2min rds final...
You can use this system in Kickboxing, Thaiboxing,and Boxing in which we will be using for the KB4 Tournaments.........
If there are any Promoters overseas who would like to promote this tournament using this system please email and I will send you the copy of the rules & regulations......

KB4 can only be a positive step for the sport Nationwide & World wide...

Lucy Tui

OK,

So, if Peter Graham wins this eliminator above, does this mean he is the KB4 champion for the year?

I guess I'm wanting to know if this is a qualifier for a finals event, or is the winner of this one show going to be his weight divisions KB4 champ?



What sort of prize-money, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Paul,
I guess for now he would be the KB4 Champion 2002....unless we have another show at the end of the year.....I think it is best to see how we go with this event first......
The prize money will be $5000 for the winner the other fighters will receive
$1000...I guess we have to start from somewhere..........they only get to fight twice not 3 times like the K1....in which I guess helps to eliminate injuries.......
The supermiddle weight will get the same amount as well........
It works out good for the fighters and the Promoters.
What do other ax readers think of this new concept.???????
Regards
Lucy Tui

i think it's a good idea...the final fights are likely to be better cos they'd be less banged up...2 diff divisions in the 1 night is good too (so u have almost as many fights as a k-1 fight night)...can understand having no elbows, but does 'kickboxing rules' include knees? it'd be good if it did, K-1 rules would be good..i'd think the middle and welter divisions would be a good bet in future, with the likes of dawson, choppa, elson, rexy, f16 etc...good luck with the show, go NZ!

There are No knees or Elbows or spinning back fist here in NSW you are not allowed to use knees that is the whole idea of me using this new concept because of the rulings here in this State........but still able to use a tournament style of fighting......
This show will be 100% kickboxing rules......with inside outside leg kicks...
Regards
Lucy Tui

At this stage we will only be promoting one winner one division for the year until we see how this turns out I would like to run one in the middle
of the year and one at the end of the year with different divisions....

I am looking for a 88kg fighter to fight Terry Rippey for a 5x2min rds he has had over 30 fights with 8losses....Please email me....
Regards
Lucy Tui

Is Nick Kara in Aus at the moment.

I think Nick and Terry would be an excellent fight.

Actually, I think Nick is probably a little lighter. Maybe around 82.


Lucy, have you thought about Shane Meads?

I think it looks like a great show, and a good idea Lucy. Nice One. Good Luck Jason and rapheal, Im sure you'll do New Zealand proud.

Terry will be fighting Shane Meads on the 3rd of August we need a couple of warm up fights...
Regards
Lucy Tui

How desperate is Nathan Briggs? He seems to be uterly lost in the ring these days! Is it just the meagre wage his fighting for? Great to see Graham back. I think he might pull this one off, but Suttie to me is the dark horse! Alot faster than all these guys and could win it with clever point fighting and counter attacks!

Hi Mike,
Well I have seen guys lose a few in the past and come back....
All the best for Nathan he can only give his best....
Regards
Lucy Tui

I think it will be Peter winning the Heavyweight, Suttie's a great fighter, but think Peter will take his time and outpoint him.
Baris or Mckinnon, haven't really seen many Mckinnon fights, but there's not too many guys that can take one of Baris's big shots flush.

Also reckon Foley will win his fight,
And August Luasa his.

Lucy,
How does August get a shot at the title when he was viciously ko'd one minute into his last fight????

Champion, you are talking about another August,his surname is Mafiti from Mundines Gym,he was sick with the flu that night apparently he was kneed,I did not see the
beginning of the fight only saw him hanging out of the ring KO'd.
August Lusua is WKBF Australian Superheavyweight Amatuer Champion
from Saed Gym Guildford....
Regards
Lucy Tui

I am looking for a 72kg fighter who has had 12fights to fight on 12th July.
Regards
Lucy Tui

How about Evan Themlakis from Scida's.

I think he's about that weight.
Probably had about 10 or so fights.

Tough fighter with a big punch.

I will ring Johnny Scida,but I think he is fighting on the 21st June...
Thanks Paul..
Regards
LucyTui

What about Ngakau spain he has had about that amount of fights I believe he is

based in wellington (but dont hold that against him ;) ), from boonchu nz.

He seems to fit the criteria and he posts on here under the name nvs. His email

address is supersaiyanvolcano@hotmail.com

I think Ngakau has pc promlems at the moment, try contacting Rex Redden.

Thanks guys, I will find out I think he might be overseas....
Regards
Lucy Tui

All the best with your show Lucy. I know it will be a great night.

Thanks Lollo,as you know with kickboxing promotions you have to stay on top...it has been hard work I am sure with the support I have it will be a success..
Regards
Lucy Tui

Still looking for a 72kg fighter?
Regards
lucy Tui

a fighter within Australia?

Hi Vince, yes a fighter in Qld,NSW,Vic,NZ...would be good...
Regards
Lucy Tui

Yes, Ngakau would be good, or Ritchie Hardcore, or Chris Johnson...i'd be keen, but i might be fighting the week before that one (waiting for confirmation), will wait and see...there is also Nathan Odering, a very exciting Palmerston North middleweight (from same gym as Chris, his trainer is Stu, under the ax profile 'Kickme') ...cheers

I would like to get Stu Chambers over here may be soon,Stu if your out there give me a email...
Thanks Vince..
Regards
Lucy Tui

Hey Lucy,

I just saw you post on Blitz,

How about Hallford?

Hi Paul,
He is mates with Stuart Mckinnon..
Regards
Lucy Tui

hey Lucy ngakau is my fighter.he is the nz middleweight wkbf and wka middle weight champion. he has had 14 fights for 10 wins. and a few cage fights.he beat ko'ed stu's boy nathan and beat richie hardcore from rebels. he could probably fight-who is it against again sorry?
Rexy

if he is from Rex's gym he must be a Boonchu nz boy? Have heard some good things about his up and commers? When we gonna see them in oz Rexy?

Hi Rex,
What weight does Ngakau fight at 72kg or 75kg just that the guy I would like him to fight is about 72-73kg and it would probably be in August 5th
for a Title I am just focusing on this event..
I was looking at a replacement fighter in the KB4 for Baris Nezif for he has a hand injury and will let me know by the weekend if he will fight...Professional fighter the cut off is 79kg....come in at 76-79kg...
Regards
Lucy Tui

hey lucy ngakau fights at 72kg but is fighting in japan on the 7th of july in an mma fight. I would suggest nathan corbett for the 4 man but he is going with ray,ngakau and dawson to fight in japan aswell.he beat steve delister about 2 fights ago and his last fight was against scott bannon which he won too.he is a very talented fighter from boonchu gold coast.
ps bootylicious (are you?)
the boys will be over there soon don't you worry!

Hi Lucy,

I never comptemplated the thought of figthing under Kickboxing rules, as I do rely on the Grapple Knee to get me out of trouble, and I am Muay Thai first and foremost. But upon saying this, I realise I need to gain experience in the Kickboxing circuit if I want to make it to the K-1 Max Oceania line up(which my goals and aspirations are set towards).

Judging from my last fight, whom I fought Richie 'Hardcore' Stewart for the W.K.B.F. Light Middleweight NZ Title. I still believe I lost, because his leg and hand - hand and leg combinations and skill, were both high in workrate and technically sound. I was very lucky to take the win. And I am happy with the thought that, it is what I need to more of, if I want to convince myself of a satifactory win. Some people say, "You only learn from your losses", but I say I learnt from that win, Thanks Richie!

So, yes I will be looking forward to fight under a promotion of yours Lucy, if it means an increase to what I already know. I have fought under many other disciplines and it is only fitting that I finally experience and there after in Kickboxing, you can only get better, stronger, faster.

I'll plan ahead with Rex and find a date on our calendar, as to what month I can I have my first Kickboxing bout(and train real hard according to the rules, so that won't throw a knee and slip an elbow...hehehe). Pretty much booked up for the next three - four months. And I only fight between 69kg - 72kg no more, no less!!!

Thanks to those who put my name forward on my behalf, it's cool to be even considered on Amatuer status.

I must go now to the Hyperbolic Chamber and increase my Super Saiyan Volcano Level l to Super Saiyan Volcano Level 1.5, to prepare for my adventure in Japan.

See you on the moon...


NVS

I'm not a fan of tournament concepts, but this looks like an interesting show. A bit of innovation at least. Good luck with it Lucy.

Hey Rex & NVS,
I finally made it back to the land of Oz. It was good to catch
up with all. Had a ball last night, thanks guy for the hospitality!

Hi Ngakau,
Glad to hear from you,and will be looking forward to having you fight on my show in the future,I would love to do a amatuer 69 or 72 kg in the very near future..I will let Rex know and see if October will be a good time for you.......
Regards
Lucy Tui

Lucy Tui

Nathan briggs has decided to retire I hae replaced him with Paul Robinson from Victoria..All the best Nathan to you and your family....
Regards
Lucy Tui

Wise decision! I truly respect him for that. It would have been hard for him to make that call, but it is for the best. After seeing his past couple of performances, he just simply does not want to be in the ring.

I hope to have the full card on monday..
Regards
Lucy Tui

Mark

Looking forward to it Mark.

Two weeks to go fingers crossed touch wood all the replacement fights

and you hope there is No More Pullouts.....mmmmmm..feeling quite nervous at this moment....
Regards
Lucy Tui

Lucy,

When and where is the weigh in?

I'm looking forward to seeing Peter Graham fight again.
I know he's fought, but it's been ages since I've seen him in the ring.

Lucy, is it likely that Adam Watt might be at this show?
He's from out Manly way isn't he?
I wouldn't mind getting some pictures, I didn't end up catching him after the Oceania event.

Hi Paul,

The weigh in will be at Rebels Store Warringah Mall at 7 pm Thursday 11th July I am just waiting on a confirmation and hoping to have the draw on the Footy show Fatty Vautin and crew will know by the end of the week..
Special Guest on the night will be Adam Watt and our 1st K1 Grand Prix Champion Mark Hunt, I went and saw Mark 2 weeks ago and asked him if he could come along as my Special Guest for the night...
So it should be a good night.
Regards
Lucy Tui

sounds like a great show lucy all the best. are you coming over to watch jasons super 4 this weekend? it should be another great show with some awesome fights.
Rexy

My tip is Jason Suttie for the heavies and Mike Cope in the super middleweight. Shame Stuart Mackinnon and Baris anren't still fighting they would be bloody fantsatic fights.

Any discounts for A/xers Lucy?

cheers
Dowgy

Hi Rex, No I won't be there but wish Sone all the best for me,I am looking forward to his fight against Bullet should be a ripper....
If Sone wins he gets a free trip for two and ring side seat at my show and accomodation for two days..it sounds good .....
Regards
lucy Tui

Hi Dowgy,
If the venue was bigger I would have given a few discounts but because it only holds 500 - 600 people and that is pushing it and a big budget probably not and I am doing a Fundraiser on the night for the Homeless Youth in the Northern beaches as well....and a % of the money from the tables I sell go towards the chosen Charity......which is Taldumande Youth
Services Inc Helping to care for homeless youth and young people at risk on Sydneys North Shore.......
Taldumande means SAFE HOUSE in aboriginal language.. I like the cause and the meaning........Having lived in the area for 22years...

Well looks like you got something happening there Lucy, I think you should change your name to Lucy KgB ex K1 turned SP, Super Promoter. Sounds like you got something. Go Lucy....

Hello Hape! How are you brother? Yeah...sounds like it's going to be a huge nght.

No worries Lucy was just kidding. Hope it is a big success.

Peter Aerts,Adam Watt..Love them all........
Regards
Lucy Tui

Hi Lollo, hows it going.

Hows this, well I was trying to get a photo with Mark at the Grand Prix, well in every blimin Magazine where I thought that I got one with Mark, who's head was there, Lucy's. The point is you cant live with out Lucy, cause she is in your face. And no matter how hard you try to shake her off, she is already under your skin.

Funny Hape, we were lucky to get photo's with Mark the way you were pushing everyone away in the ring especially one particular person,and I was not going to pay my way over there without getting a photo with Mark ....been his number one supporter.....hehehe.....
Regards
Lucy Tui
Ps* By the way nice to have you back in OZ..
