Results Middleton Civic Centre 27th Oct 2007


A special congratulations to Dave Kantor who became the new Light Heavyweight English Champion beating Anthony Sabinda (Kings Gym).

This was a real test for Dave as it was only his 2nd fight. He started off really nervous in the 1st round and Anthony landed some strong body kicks, although they didn't seem to phase Dave. As he settled into the fight he started to land some strong kicks and some solid punches to the body and head. Anthony seemed to look tired by the 3rd and Dave's confidence grew. He proved to be more resilient wearing his opponent down and as the fight progressed looked stronger and much more aggressive throwing his opponent through the ropes in the 4th round. By the end of the 5th it was clear that Dave was the winner, he really pulled the goods out on the night. Respect must go to Anthony a tough opponent and his trainer Dave McClennon who was very professional and a nice guy.

Well done Dave a fantastic performance. X
