Enfusion Live, March 30th, report by Peter Lowe

Posted on: 02 Apr 2013

The evening got off to a bang with Semtex gyms Luke Whelan proving to be to much for the brave but out gunned Jake Barton. The fight was waved off after 1minute and 46 seconds of the 2nd round with the five knockdown rule saving the game Barton from further punishment.



Kevin Renno’s arm was raised after 1.47 seconds of the 1st round after the powerfully built Estonian scored a stunning Ko over Englands Rickie Hamilton.



Kevin Ward edged out a narrow but unanimous points win in a competitive bout with fellow brit Pete Irving.



Another all English battle saw the silky skills of Daniel Terry catch the eye of the judges in a close fight with the highly regarded Ricky Sewell.



EnglandsCharlie “Boy” Peters stopped Lithuania’s Arunas Slicius. Peters vicious body assault brought an end to the bout with 10 seconds remaining in the 1st round.



Kyle Helleur made his strength tell in the clinches with good throws and consistent aggression to get a unanimous descision win over fellow brit Wayne Fisher.



Thailandshugely talented Rittijack Kaewsamrit proved himself to quick and technically proficient for Estonia’s Marrko Moisar. Always a move ahead the little Thai landed sickening knee to the chest of Moisar who was consequently counted out. The end came at 1.44 of the 1st round.



The big hitting Meletis Kakaoubavas of Greece captured the 70kg ICO European title after a thrilling battle with Libyan born brit Salah. After continual goading and dropping of the hands he showed a complete disregard for defence as the Greek born Meletis gave Salah two standing counts before moving in for a brutal finish that left referee Jesse Saunders no option but to wave the bout off at the 2.46 mark of round 4 of a scheduled 5.

Thailand’s Kaeng Super pro Samui was pushed all the way to the wire by England’s James Snelling but managed to do enough, in a close contest.

After outworking Snelling in the 1st round the Thai was forced to use his experience and defensive savvy to fiddle his way through round 2. Kaengs better work up close in the clinch could have been a deciding factor. With Snelling being sent out for the 3rd round with instructions to press forward non stop the Thai was forced back to the ropes again and again and forced to take some heavy blows.

In the end Kaeng did enough to get his 89th win with a majority decision point’s victory.



Fatima Adib did well keeping Scotland’s Amanda Kelly at bay for most the 1st round. The French national used the ring well and fired off some sharp combinations but as Kelly warmed up and began to find her range and timing the Scottish “brave heart” was able to make her superior strength and toughness show. Round 2 was all Kelly, who was able to cut the ring off and dominate with her hands, feet and some dangerous knees to the body.Fatima tried to meet Amanda head on at the start of the round but was soon forced back into a defensive mode by the constant Kelly pressure that proved enough to win a convincing unanimous point’s decision win.



The USA’s Andrew Tate moved comfortably past Holland’s Marino Schouten with a clear unanimous decision point’s victory. Tate found his man early on with a side kick to the body and then settled into a rhythm of continual movement and striking when in range. The Dutch man was not without success but often found himself walking forward with his hands high into the heavy fists of Tate who frequently found holes in his guard. Even having Mr Perfect (Ernesto Hoost) in the corner could not help Schouten as he was never able to make a proper dent in the slick American despite continually pushing forward in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.



England’s Jason Woodham and Mirrko Moisar of Estonia served up a 2 round thriller. After being dropped heavily, half way through the 1st round. Things looked grim for the Estonian tough man. The follow up assault from Woodham was equally emphatic with the English man landing, what commentator Vinny Shoreman called, “spiteful knees”. After catching one of these knees on the bell Mirrko was sent back to his corner grimacing and holding his ribs. It continued in much the same pattern for a good minute or so of the first until, with Moisar’s corner imploring him to lead off, Mirrko found the punches to turn the fight around. Woodham did well to rise from the 1st count but the follow up head body attack proved too much and Jason was counted out at 2.07 of the 2nd round.



England’s Iman Barlow picked up the fighter of the night award and the Ladies 54kg Enfusion World title en route to a hard fought unanimous point’s decision win in an eagerly anticipated showdown with London’s Alexis Rufus. Barlow took the first couple of rounds with some clever sweeps and the stronger clinch work. Some particularly dangerous looking jumping knees from the 19 year old sensation got the crowds attention. In the 2nd she was able to keep the vastly experienced Rufus guessing and seemed to land with the cleaner more effective blows. Iman was forced to show her toughness in round 3 after taking a solid knee to the body. Having started the round well Barlow finished under extreme pressure. In round 4 Rufus tried to deny her adversary any breathing space and seemed to up her work rate pumping out punch and kick combinations. Both worked hard in 5th as if they both knew it could all be on the line. Rufus continued to keep up her two fisted attack but it was Barlow’s solid work in the clinch and her clean effective work on the outside that saw her finish the round strongly.

A bright future is predicted for the new 54kg Enfusion world champion Iman “the pretty killer” Barlow.



In the main event of the evening all seemed to be going to plan for Michael Wakeling. That is until Thailand’s Pajunsuk Superpro Samui landed a countering short left hand late on in the round that put the Beckenham man on the seat of his pants. He rose at the count of eight and saw the rest of the round out on shaky legs. In the 2nd round, and with a determined focus etched on his face, Wakeling bit down on the gum shield and went about erasing the memory of the knockdown. And that he did by pumping out powerful combinations with both hands and feet. In the 3rd he showed another gear as he raised the tempo further. At on point Wakeling seemed to almost walk through a head kick in order to land a string of his own punches. It was no surprise when it was announced there would be a third round and Wakeling certainly went out to make sure there wouldn’t be another. Time and again the Thai was trapped against the ropes as Michael drove in more punches and kicks and repeatedly knocking Pajunsuks head back. With the combinations raining in up until the last few seconds it must have been a relief for the visitor to hear the final bell. A unanimous decision points win was the reward for Michael Wakeling bringing his record to 25 wins and only 1 loss.
