Al Chambers had his first fight for Chokdee, against Mark Nicholson from East Riding Thai on 18th October. Both guys weighed in at 80kgs. Although Mark started quick, Al kept his chin down and kept his cool. Listening well to his corner Al maintained a strong defence and progressive pressure forwards. Al dropped Mark for an 8-count in round three, then twice again in round 4. At which point the referee stopped the contest as Mark was no longer defending himself, taking too much punishment. Congrats to Al on his first win.
Al Chambers is due to fight in Doncaster on 12th September 2009 at the Armthorpe Rugby Club This is former world champion, Lee Chesters first promotion (Chang Kow) in association with Prizefighter UK. Al is fighting Adam Kulzesca from the Chang Kow Gym, based in Doncaster. The bout is matched at 80kgs. Adam has some MMA experience, so this is going to be a tough test. The main event on the show is Thomas McCormick (Wicker Camp - Shef) V Rob Burke (SMTC) for the ISKA Commonwealth title at 66.6kgs. Also on the bill are several other Wicker Camp fighters such as James Ogden, who is fighting for the ISKA Northern Area title against Danny Michell from Thorne Asylum Gym)
