Best of the Best 2 - Mareeba 19th May
Posted: 22 May 2007, 21:57
The Best of the Best 2 was hailed as a huge success by organisers Vince Parkes and Ross Cardillo with over 400 people enjoying a night of boxing and thai boxing.
There were 6 traditional ameteur boxing bouts with the main bout being won by Ian Berry of Toe 2 Toe Cairns, Ian took home very big eye catchng trophy.
Unfortunately none of the 4 Mareeba Boxing Team fighters were matched for a bout, even though we were willing to conceed age and weight. This was a great disappointment for the boys as they have been trainn 10 times a week.
The Miay Thai was very well recieved by the crowd, whilst the main bout between Dan Schmidt (current Oz Champ) and Braid Jackson was a good fight with Braid winning all of the 4 rounds convincingly the best fights were put on by the girls.
Courtney Bird - Cooktown took a hard split decision over Ceran - Brisbane and Sarah Martin - Cooktown stopped Kelly Marriage - Cairns in the third with knees to the body.
All in all a top night with the next event being planned for October.
