On Sunday 4th May 2008, Power of Scotland is back and with it will see a return of the exciting 8to1 Muay Thai tournament, this time set at 55kg! The tournament will feature some of the best bantamweights outside of Thailand and will be fought under Full Thai rules from the start and fought over 3x3min rounds.
The 8 fighters involved in the 8to1 are, from left to right:
- Reece Crooke (Evolution, England) – Consistently one of the best bantamweights in the UK in this decade, Reece Crooke is determined to avenge his loss to Ness in his last trip to Scotland at the end of 2007 and put himself back on top of the pile of UK Bantamweights again!
- Albert Chey (Impacts, France) – Chey is a quick and skilful fighter and a natural bantamweight. Although he has lost to Howsen, Chey will be determined to settle the score in addition to proving he is one of the finest bantamweights around, even if it means going through his stable mate Ocania!
- Graeme Ness (Fighting Fit, Scotland) – After coming off a disappointing performance against Dean James at the end of 2007, Ness is focused on getting back to winning ways and have a shot at some of the best bantamweights around.
- Andy Howsen (Bad Company, England) – Having claimed wins over almost half of the fighters in the tournament, Howsen enters as a strong favourite with a reputation for enjoying a scrap, which the crowd are certain to enjoy!
- Sebastian Ocania (Impacts, France) – After what can only be described as a demolition of the tough Scottish fighter Robert Weir on POS1 to win his ISKA European title, Ocania’s return to the POS stage is sure to please the Scot’s who loved his relentless attacking style! Although among the smallest of the 8 fighters, Ocania has the experience and skills to cause any of the fighter’s problems.
- John Dick (GTBA, Scotland) – Scotland’s Featherweight champion will be making his debut at 55kg and with a reputation as a tough and durable opponent, he will be a difficult fight for anyone in the 8to1! Coming off some great performances in 2007 Dick is keen for the opportunity to prove his worth against some of the best bantamweights out there!
- Shane Cadogan (Cork, Ireland) – After picking up the WPMF World Featherweight Title during his long period spent training in Thailand this year, Shane’s debut on POS will be eagerly anticipated by the home crowd.
- Dean James (Pra Cha Suua, England) – Making a return to the POS stage, Dean James will receive a warm welcome from all of the Scottish fans that remember his awesome technical display at POS2! This up and coming fighter may be among the least experienced in the tournament, but he certainly has the skills to take this title!
In addition to this amazing tournament, POS4 will feature a host of cracking support fights!
Arguably Scotland’s best pound for pound fighter Rab Burt taking on Andy Thrasher and hoping to show the rest of the UK why he so highly regarded in Scotland!
The rising Scottish star John Douglas will be challenging Liam Robinson for his ISKA British Title. Both fighters have nice Thai styles and it is bound to be a clinical and technical fight!
The rest of the card will be announced shortly, but is looking like another great event!
I’m also really excited to announce that POS will be moving to The Lagoon in Paisley. This venue is better suited to the event, with a rough capacity of 2,500, which will produce an amazing atmosphere for the event. The facilities are also being refurbished at present with the first wave almost complete, so will be a great new home for the event in the future. The Arena at the Lagoon was home to Paisley’s Ice Rink, however the ice has now gone and the facility will now be used for events. However, Paisley’s Ice Rink was no stranger to top class fight action, as Sonny Liston, Sugar Ray Robinson and Mohammed Ali fought there back in the late 60’s, useless but interesting fact.
Anyway, I also have the tickets ready, so any fighter or instructor that I haven’t spoke to that needs some please give me a shout. Tickets can obviously be bought from me directly (discount available for over orders over 10 tickets), local fighters and instructors or from Musclebound on New Street in Paisley. Tickets are Unreserved, 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, this time there is a danger of certain tickets selling out, so get in quick. Tickets are separated into 3 bands, Ringside (£50), Tiered (£25) and Standard (£20 and £10 for Under 16’s).
If you are looking for Ringside, please contact me directly, as fighters will not be given any of these tickets unless they are sold. Last time their was a lot of tables held for people how pulled out at the last minute, therefore, tables will only actually be reserved when payment is received.

I’d also just like to thank everyone that has helped so far in organising this event, I think this will be the best POS yet!
