Ste Rogerson The New S.I.M.T.A North West Area Super Middleweight champion!

Connor is the new SIMTA North West Champion

Ste Rogerson now holds the ISKA North West Title

Bad Co' Show Results

Just got back, here is a brief review of the main events:-

Firstly - Colin Johnson, Great first fight!!! Pleasure to assist in the corner!! Well done.

Jordon V's Seamus - This was a good fight, Jordon took his time and picked his opponent apart, some great solid kicks (as always). Cogan was a very game fighter but just couldn't really get into the fight.

Liam V's French guy - Not much to discuss really, Both looked comfortable, plenty of smiling from the French guy until Liam dropped a great Low kick onto his planted leg, he dropped and couldn't get back up. Shame really because he did look like a good technical opponent. Sorry Liam but it would have been nice to see a couple of rounds before you finish him :-).

Andy Howson V's French guy (who looked Thai) - Fight of the night!! It was a war for the first three rounds with both fighters landing good technique. Andy walked through a lot of his opponents attacks to get off some good shots. The french guy started to gas a bit in R4 and it was just a matter of time for Andy to capitalise. R5 saw a great spinning elbow from Andy which opened a cut of his opponents forehead, everyone thought it was over but after a bit of vaseline it went on for the remaining 30 seconds. Andy good win!!! (IMO you did take a few too many body kicks, but hey they didn't seem to phase you).

Richard Cadden V's RUNG (Thai) - The thai was a very game fighter and put Rich under pressure from the opening bell all the way to the final bell. Rich never really got into his fight and lost on points. This opponent was every fighters worst nightmare, very awkward and never takes his foot off the gas. Rich coped very well and managed to cut him with an elbow in the last round but it was a little too late. Unlucky Rich, just one of them nights and a very tricky opponent.

Great show, saw a few good people as always. Sandy, Vinny, Dave J, Tony Myers, Liam Robinson, and a quick hello to Wossoboma Jojo (Sorry couldn't chat longer but was getting ready to corner)

Cheers,

FB'Slim

Fight Report

On Sunday the 26th of September Ste Rogerson was made The New S.I.M.T.A North West Area Super Middleweight champion!

It's not been long at all since the last time we saw Ste training hard for a title. The problem was, all his hard work was to no avail when his opponent essentially chickened out and claimed a groin strain making Ste the ISKA North West champion without him even breaking sweat!

However this time things were a little different, over the weeks preceding the fight Kru Richard Lewis and the team at PTBC had more of a purpose about them. The training for the whole club stepped up to give the essential support a fighter needs along with world leading instruction of course!

Ste trained clever this time around, knowing the fight was on, a fresh opponent was challenging, and a major title was vacant and ready to be his. All this topped off with TV coverage at Master Skens Promotions Super fights at the George H. Carnall Leisure Centre, right here in Manchester!

Only days before this fight Ste had a major problem that could have jeopardised the title, his efforts, and a space on the mantle piece! An accident whilst working led to a badly twisted ankle, swelling and the need to take a break just when the hard training needed to be implemented. In return Kru Rick and Ste had to plan, and quickly! Cardio, opposite techniques, speed over power, smart fighting and anticipation as only Kru Richard Lewis knows best.

Soon enough sell out crowds, massive club support and a very purposeful team warmed up for the 6th fight of the day to decide the North West Area Super Middleweight Champion. The opponent Barry Denholm from Glasgow was the man standing in the way, again a much taller opponent for Ste to deal with and he soon would!

Both fighters were in great condition, and after the traditional Wai Kru was performed Kru Richard Lewis Baz White and Master Sken all waited for the first bell to commence the fight.

Round 1

Steaming from the red corner Ste planted a big right kick instantly rocking Barry Denholm, they moved and the combinations seemed to be getting ranged out, Denholm eventually answered back just slipping Ste's leg un balancing him, a quick flurry and another bomb of a kick had Denholm chasing Ste to catch the points. Little did Denholm realise Ste was ranging the taller fighter out whilst having to deal with a troublesome ankle. Ste was on the back foot to bring Denholm in, and after a three punch combination he finished his testing with a clinch, just before breaking Ste dropped an elbow on Denholm's leg with the thud we all recognize as going to the bone!

In an effort to catch Ste, Denholm came forward into a set of punches, this would be the beginning of the end for the Scott. The first over the top punch from Rogerson was way out right, they came back together in range, Ste dug deep set up with a left and launched a huge over the top right into Denholm's face, landing square and dropping him to the canvas stunned and un aware of what hit him! During the eight count In the neutral corner, Ste's eyes fell to Kru Richard Lewis to quickly receive the plan of action. The ref shouted the fight and Ste took the leg off Denholm distracting and dropping the Scott's guard, in that very instant a stinging left from Ste raised Denholm's chin and the deciding over arm right pounded into the Scott's already dazed face, with a shudder, and a bolt up right body Denholm was KO'd and falling to the canvass, just for good measure Rogerson laid another right into the head of Denholm to send the fact home!

In 1 minute and 44 seconds into the first round Ste Rogerson KO'd Barry Denholm of Glasgow Scotland to Become the S.I.M.T.A North West Super Middleweight Champion in front of a screaming home crowd and a proud club.

2 belts, 2 titles, one man who is on a mission to show everyone that Prestwich Thai Boxing club produces real down the line talent and nurtures a fighter, a plan, and a club that has only one way to do business, and that's to win! The club is just beginning, Ste Rogerson has just begun, and anyone with an ounce of common sense will realize that Kru Richard Lewis and Prestwich Thai Boxing club is already dominating what others have spent years trying to achieve.

Another win to Ste…………

On Sunday the 15th of August the Hall of Master Sken's training academy in Stockport saw Connor Umney make his way to the ring to make his challenge for the SIMTA North West Area junior title. His opponent from Kings Cobra County Durham soon joined Connor in the ritual dance of the Wai Kru with applause and shouts of encouragement for the fighters. The difference between the two fighters was minimal and everyone thought the fight would be to the end, and very close!

However, the cheers of the crowd and instant instruction from Kru Rick Lewis saw Connor steam ahead in the blink of an eye, dominating the centre of the ring and forcing his opponent to play Connor's game how he wanted it. Kick after kick, technique and power far beyond his years showing exemplary amounts of the effort, instruction and above all hard work Connor had put in weeks before the event.

All of a sudden, one minute and ten seconds into the blaze of attacks Connor threw the deciding blow! With a solid technique complimenting Connor's natural power the kick landed on his opponents left leg, instantly taking the fight out of him and causing an emotional defeat to the more than capable Kings Cobra Challenger.

Again, one minute and ten seconds into round one, Connor Umney was declared the new, North West Area Champion by TKO as the challenger simply could not fight on through the pain. Congratulations Connor, we all know this is the first of many titles for a future that is sure to be glittered with outright wins and accolades to your name.

Connor is the best example of how Kru Rick Lewis and Prestwich Thai Boxing Club can reach in, and turn that hard work, effort and instruction into a practical methodical win inside or outside the ring in everything you do. So here it is, another belt, another title, another win, Prestwich Thai Boxing Club truly sets a standard, and never faults along the way! Whether you are a born winner like Connor, or you have the heart to be, Kru Rick Lewis and Prestwich Thai Boxing Club will find it, and turn that into winning ability just like Connor has.

On Sunday the 20th of June the Prestwich Thai Boxing Club float was eagerly attended to make last preparations for the procession just hours before it was due to set off from rectory lane! Again the ever increasing Prestwich Tai Boxing Club family pulled together and produced another stunning carnival float, topping off the Thai theme was the ever popular Lady boy of Bangkok whose flirtatious waves on admiring towns folk raised smiles from more people than you would think! Bazina was a real hit!

Last years first place result for the club’s float was not to be repeated and Prestwich Thai Boxing Club’s pure winning streak was broken, “not to worry” we placed second and to everyone involved we were no1 as always. A big turn out of young, old, men women and children from the club all rallied around to raise the spirits as a little drop of rain dampened the parade. However! The sun was to shine a nice heat wave for the Prestwich Thai Boxing Club Demonstration later that day in St Mary’s Park.

The Float arrived to a small round of applause and the club stall and also the area for the demonstration were buzzing with an atmosphere that only the Prestwich Thai Boxing Club can create. At 3pm a crowd gathered to see what the Club, Thai Boxing, and a pillar of the community within Prestwich was all about.

Kru Richard Lewis and Dedicated Trainee instructor Baz White (Bazina!) brought an air of the everyday respect that precedes training at the Club. A demonstration of the class was then instructed, first, a demonstration from Kru Richard and Baz, to the be followed by the students who ranged from Title holder and Trainee instructor Becky Berry, juniors and seniors of all genders and ages, truly reflecting how the Club is, every day, not just for the Carnival.

After a very atmospheric demo, Kru Richard Lewis and his team set about quickly preparing for a short demonstration of Sparring, absolutely essential for those in the Club who want to progress to become fully fledged fighters and title winners of the future, this was also to show how, controlled and professional this part of training is but conditioning to those who partake. The crowd around the stand was very good, giving applause and shouts of encouragement to the fighters this in fact saw the fighters take things up a level and really bite down for a good energetic show.

Even Kru Richard Lewis Club Founder, Senior Instructor and Multi Title winner geared up to show that he plays a massive role to students training no matter what level of skill they are at. Kru Richard Lewis and Matt fought a semi contact round for the crowd who seemed to back the fight as a general overview of what is involved in Thai Boxing whilst keeping it in a light hearted and professional manner for everyone to see the skill, not the power Thai Boxing returns for commitment, of course Kru Richard Showed this and was finished to a Wai (Bow) to the crowd and a round of applause.

The raffle raised more funding for the Club Bus on a Stall Run by the lovely Liz and her daughter, the float was such a success that even though it did not win this year and came second, pictures of the Prestwich Thai Boxing Club Carnival Float were published, perhaps it was the real winner after all.

A great day for the Club, a better day for Prestwich, roll on next year!

On Saturday the 22nd of May at The Gladiators of Wirral International Championship Kickboxing Night England V Ireland @ The Tranmere Recreation Centre Borough Road, Birkenhead Steve Rogerson accepted the ISKA North West Thai Boxing Title at 78KG Max.

The Title fight was to be fought between Steven Rogerson of Prestwich Thai Boxing Club and John Davidson of Kirby Thai UK. At 10pm Steven Rogerson Walked to the ring followed by the corner crew of the Sitnarong Camp UK Master Sken Kru Richard Lewis reigning British Champion and student of Master Sken and Baz to name but a few all dedicated to Steven's efforts over the coming weeks towards this fight.

Steven Rogerson and Kru Richard Lewis trained harder and far longer than ever before to face the already defeated John Davidson from Kirby Thai who had faced Steven previously and been annihilated within the two rounds he faced Steven. The third was not to be and John Davidson of Kirby Thai faced defeat in the most untraditional of Thai Boxing ways and threw in the towel

The ISKA North West title was vacant and all in the North West realized this and would not challenge the pride of Prestwich, one way or another the belt was to find it’s home there. John Davidson realizing his chance to face Steven again and having the added opportunity to win the much sought after North West Title proceeded to challenged Steven Rogerson to fight him for it, on the 22nd of May at the Gladiators show in Liverpool England.

Whilst all at Prestwich Thai Boxing club realize Steven’s nine year veteran service to our sport is not to be taken lightly, with such a good blood line of training from Kru Richard Lewis who was a direct student of Master Sken and part of the camp that deserves utmost respect that of Sitnarong.

At 10pm it was announced that John Davidson of Kirby Thai refused to fight Steven Rogerson on grounds of a sprained groin, under mixed feelings Steven Rogerson accepted the title and a presentation where the dedicated and respectful were proud to voice his name to all and boo the disrespectful and scared John Davidson of Kirby Thai. We later received a full apology from John Davidson’s training Corner to who we respect as their fighter actually admitted he “bottled it” To him we say “Never Challenge Steven Again” and under Steven’s title and the many more adorning the gym Prestwich rules as one of the toughest, most professional Thai Boxing Clubs in the North West and John Davidson of Kirby Thai should never be allowed to challenge the pride of Prestwich ever again. Steven Rogerson Beat you once and you challenge him again, only to chicken out!

“No shame in fearing defeat, shame in admitting defeat! John Davidson of Kirby Thai you should never step in the ring at 78 kg again out of respect for Sitnarong Steven Rogerson and Kru Richard Lewis”

Congratulations Steven from all at Home.

STEVO! STEVO! STEVO!
