Buakaw headlines Premier League Muay Thai at Seni
Posted on | March 20, 2010 | No Comments
MSA looks to take Muay Thai into the big time with a series of arena shows across the UK. The first of which is next weekend at Manchester Evening News Arena on Saturday 27th March 2010.
On Saturday 29th May 2010 at Seni in ExCeL London, MSA Muay Thai Premier League will then feature, in a fight put together by Dan Green (working with Rob Cox), none other than K1 Max superstar Buakaw Por Pramuk under Full Thai rules!
Buakaw Por Pramuk is undoubtedly the number one K1 Max and Thai superstar! Formerly two time Omnoi Stadium and Thailand national champion, he became a true worldwide superstar when he became the K-1 Max World Champion beating none other than John Wayne Parr, Takayuki Kohiruimaki and previous champion Masato in the finals. In 2005 he was nearly cr! owned champion again but lost in the final after an extra round to Andy Souwer. In 2006 though, Buakaw got his revenge beating Andy Souwer to again be K1 Max champion! He has also won the WMC world title and we believe he is undoubtedly the number one superwelterweight in the world! You name them, he has beaten them; Masato, Andy Souwer, Jomhod, Gago Drago, Alber Kraus, Dzabar Askerov, John Wayne Parr, Nicky Holzken, Fadir Chahbari, Jean Charles Skarbowski, Marco Pique! His full record stands at 222 fights with 189 wins, 12 draws and only 21 losses, most of which were earlier in his career in Thailand stadiums. Buakaw commented “This is the only time I will fight in London, and I’ve never been to England before. I’m really looking forward to it and believe me I’m going to put on a show in London!”
The man set to challenge Buakaw will be none other than Contender UK tournament winner Jordan Watson, one of Englands brightest prospects for many years. The word prospect may ! be a little misleading though as Watson has been training since an early age and clocked up over 50 junior bouts before moving on to his adult professional career which has seen him have 29 fights and only 4 losses!
Watson too has some good K1 experience where he made the final of the K1 Max Pain and Glory also held at Seni but this fight is under Muay Thai rules, which Watson is a specialist at and he knows that this fight is a shot at the big time! If any English fighter can beat Buakaw under Full Thai rules then it’s Watson.
Tim Thomas will be another headliner on the event. Contracts are pending at time of going to press but his scheduled opponent will be Malaipet Sitpraprom. Malaipet is a well known star in both Europe and the USA and will be a tough fight for Thomas, with Malaipet having a recent win over Richard Fenwick. The fights will take place in the new purpose built ExCeL auditorium which will officially host several of the London Olympic Sports including the boxing event. All seats provide an excellent view of the action and doors will open at 16.45
Tickets go on sale this weekend on the 24hr Seni hotline 0844 847 1699 or www.msapremier.com

The deal sees Primetime’s reach expand by over a third.
The action begins on Virgin this Saturday (20th March at 8pm) with Heavyweight title bout between ‘Dr Steelhammer’ Wladimir Klitschko and ‘Fast Eddie’ Chambers. Wladimir Klitschko will defend his WBO and IBF Heavyweight belts against American Eddie Chambers at Dusseldorf’s Esprit Arena in Germany. With two belts on the line both men are going to be going for the big win.
IBF, WBO and IBO champion Wladim! ir Klitschko is focused and determined to keep his belts in the Klitschko family. He said this week:
“After nine months off, I am eager to get back in the ring. I am very excited to fight in another soccer stadium, this one will hold more than 50,000 people. The atmosphere in the stadium will be fantastic. I am 33 years old and at the top of my athletic ability, I have never been so strong, fast, and experienced. Eddie is a very talented fighter and has a very difficult style, but I am well prepared to defend my titles. All four of my belts will stay in the Klitschko family.”
Then on 24th April Primetime will broadcast on both Sky and Virgin On Demand our very own WBC undefeated World champion Carl ‘The Cobra’ Froch as he takes on Mikkel Kessler.

Calvin Kattar looks to rebound Promising Methuen MMA fighter sets sights on Lowell, March 26(March 17, 2010 By Mike McMahon)
Posted on | March 20, 2010 | No Comments
As soon as the fight went to the scorecards, Calvin Kattar knew he could be in trouble.
The Methuen fighter went the distance with Don Carlo-Clauss at XCFL’s first event on Feb. 6. And he had reason to be worried.
In the end, Kattar lost a split decision, just the second loss in the budding star’s career.
“I did just enough to lose,” said Kattar, who fell to 8-2. “I had opportunities to score with the judges and wasn’t able to do it. He had a key takedown in the second round that might have been the difference. I want to take nothing away from him, because he won the fight, but I didn’t perform the way I need to. I lost.
“I’m not upset with the judges. I didn’t do enough to win the fight. There were times in the fight I could have been more aggressive and should have been more aggressive but I wasn’t.”
Kattar took the fight with just two weeks notice, after his original opponent, T.J. Solomon, backed out. But Kattar refuses to use the change in opponent as an excuse.
“He only had two weeks to prepare to fight me too,” he said. “And he won the fight.”
They’ll be no rest for Kattar, who will step back in the cage on March 26 at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium for XCFL 2. The schedule doesn’t get any easier, either. Kattar will fight undefeated (8-0) ICE champion Jeff Anderson, who hails from Pennsylvania.
The loss to Carl-Clauss was named “Fight of the Night” by XCFL.
“We wanted to try and do a rematch,” said Kattar. “But (Carlo-Clauss) has another fight lined up. If the opportunity ever came again to fight him, I would. It would be a great fight. Our first fight was a great fight. It wasn’t the result I wanted but we really put on a show for the fans.”
And Kattar’s fans, who have a rabid reputation of pouring out in the hundreds, sometimes thousands, to watch their fighter, should make for a unique atmosphere in Lowell.
“It will be crazy,” Kattar said. “After a loss, I always just want to get back into the cage and fight again. You learn something from all of your fights, but especially losses. I won five in a row after my first loss; now I want to double that. I can’t wait to get back in the cage, close to home, in front of some screaming people.”

NDLOVU SOUNDS OFF ON MOLITOR DURING MEDIA WORKOUT

INTENSE NDLOVU THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET
“The Panther” Bares Claws at Molitor During Media Workout
TORONTO, ON – (Friday, March 19, 2010) IBF #1 ranked Takalani “The Panther” Ndlovu (30-5, 18 KO’s) spoke to the media after a public workout at the famed Cabbagetown Boxing Club in preparation for his battle against “The Canadian Kid” Steve Molitor (31-1, 12 KO’s, IBF #2 Junior Featherweight) for the vacant IBF Junior Featherweight world title, in the main event of Rumble at Rama XI, Saturday, March 27th at Casino Rama, in Rama, Ontario.
On his tactics for this fight, as compared to his first fight with Molitor (TKO 9 loss in 2007)
“Nothing has changed. I’m the same fighter. He’s the same fighter. I’m always happy with my performance all the time.”
“I’m prepared this time, and I was prepared the last time we fought. The question is, how prepared is Molitor.”
On fighting on the road in front of a hostile crowd, and if he feels he has to score a knockout to win.
“This fight could be anywhere, it doesn’t matter. I’m not fighting the judges, I’m fighting Steve Molitor, and he’s just a regular fighter like me. The judges have nothing to do with me. The only person I’m focusing on is Molitor.”
“I might not have any fans over to watch me, but I know they are back home, and they are with me. We are always celebrating back home. 2010 is South Africa’s year. We have the World Cup, and we haven’t stopped celebrating, and on March 27th I will give them another reason to be happy.”
On what he would like to say to Molitor
“Thumbs-up mother(expletive)” (said while extending two middle fingers into the air)
“Steve, you froze against Caballero (Molitor was stopped in four rounds by Celestino Caballero in December of 2008), and you’ll freeze against me on March 27th. Mark my words.”
