Tournament Reserve Bout:
kapelly Almeide (KO, Portugal) vs Callum 'Ready-Steady'Cook (TFT Sunderland).
Both slugged it out through the early stages with Kapelly finishing it with a head kick to secure the KO over the clearly tired Cook.

FINAL
Paul Venis vs Lukasz Parobiec
winner: VENIS, KO Rd.1

The lightest man in the Tournament, Middlesbrough's hard-hitting Paul Venis, Impact Gym (Coach Alan Chapman), blew away both opponents with his power. Venis now secures his slot on the SFS Event later in the year.

INTERNATIONAL BOUT:
Connor Long (Blyth, UK) vs Fred Cordeiro (KO, Portugal)
winner: CORDEIRO, KO Rd.2

The pocket-rocket that is Cordeiro returned to England after his demolition of Andy Hughes in the the first round, to repeat the action in the second round in this anticipated fight. You could hear a penny drop when the over-hand right landed.

Next stop for Cordeiro: WKL European Title vs TBA.


72kg Andrei Ostravanu (Romania) vs Filipe Veiga (Portugal)
Good fight with both going at it in the first. Clearly the skill level was raised in this bout. Ostravanu then began to assert himself dropping the brave Portuguese two times.
Winenr: OSTRAVANU Rd.

72kg Alex Beattie (Liverpool) vs Rayko Levitichi (Southend)
Another good fight with both lads giving it their all. An early knockdown in Rd.1 by Levitchi but the referee didn't count it. Levitichi landing the heavier of shots of the two which was a deciding factor. Good, close fight.
winner: LEVITCHI, Unanimous Decision.



The event was originally supposed to have a second tournament on in the 72kg division, however, due to injuries sustanied by Mike Egan and Raymond Sterling in their previous bouts, both had to withdraw. The remaining bouts were re-shuffled and made into two individual bouts.
