HANGAR 4 - FIGHT RESULTS

Ultimate Promotions’ Rumble in the Jungle 16 – Hoppers Crossing, 26^th Feb, 2010

Hangar 4’s Phil Arsoski vs Junior Uy (Full Force Gym)

After two fights with two knockouts, Phil was walking into his toughest fight yet up against Junior Uy from Reinhart Badato’s Full Force Gym in Sydney. The first round started off as planned with Phil being the aggressor, catching Junior with lots of body kicks and hand combinations. Phil easily won the round.

The second round was a complete 180 turn, with Junior dominating the entire round including the grappling.

With Phil’s cardio running out in the third and final round, knowing Phil’s heavy hands the instruction was simple – to try and put a right hand on Junior Uy’s chin. With just 30 seconds remaining in the round, and Junior definitely on top, Phil landed the punch we’d been waiting for, giving Junior a standing eight count to successfully get the round and the fight.

K.O. 7 – Shepparton Basketball Stadium, 27^th Feb, 2010

David Lawton vs Daniel Ellis (Cobram MuayThai)

With David being sick leading up to this fight he had little chance to prepare. However, we knew with David’s high work-rate and strong cardio he would take on the challenge head-on.

Round one: Daniel came out very strong, attacking David’s front leg and putting him onto the canvas early. This did not seem to bother the tough boy from Cork as he stuck to his game plan and worked the head and body with a flurry of hand combinations. A very hard round to pick, this could have gone either way.

Round two: this was definitely David’s best round of the fight, almost giving Daniel a standing eight count.

Round three: the final round was an absolute war; the crowd was on its feet cheering for both boys. With David throwing hands at 100 miles-an-hour, and Daniel landing several head kicks, it was definitely the round of the night. A great effort from both boys, the judges could not separate them and gave it a draw.

Congratulations to them both for putting on such a tough display of MuayThai.

THE HANGAR 4 GIRLS – DOING US PROUD IN THAILAND

Nadine in push-up action

With both of Hangar 4’s female fighters spending time in Thailand, it’s time to have an update on their progress.

First up, Nadine Allshorn (left). Nadine upped moved to Thailand to live and train at the WMC Camp in Lamai just before Xmas 2009. Nadine has had one fight since her move, which she won convincingly by stopping the girl in the first round. Nadine has another fight planned for the 22^nd March and, with her training twice a day with legends such as Nokweed Davy and the other Thai coaches at the WMC Camp, her passion and work ethic are sure to pay off.

Sylvia in Thailand

Sylvia Schiavoni (right) left for Thailand in early 2010 and spent the first part of her trip training at the world famous Master Toddy’s Ultra Fight Gym in Bangkok. After a few false starts and a stadium being flooded, Sylvia was ready for her first fight. Many smaller shows in Thailand are held in Buddhist temples and include music, dancing and side-shows for entertainment. This is where Sylvia found herself for her first fight, in Udon Thani. Sylvia had to drop weight for the match up… which must have made her very angry as she stopped the girl in the first round.

After winning her fight easily, Sylvia relocated to the WMC Camp in Lamai to train alongside Nadine and prepare for her second fight on the 2^nd March. After struggling with an ear infection, Sylvia still managed to win the four-round contest by unanimous decision. Next up for Sylvia is an appearance for Primal Promotions’ ‘Warrior’s Way 1’ on the 28^th March.

ULTIMATE PROMOTIONS PRESENTS: RUMBLE IN THE JUNGLE 15 - 27th Nov, 2009

Hangar 4 had three boys representing the gym on the night; two first-timers, David “the Nightmare” Lawton and Phil “the Professor” Arsoski, and Michael O'Sullivan, who were all competing for the first time under the Hangar 4 banner.

The first fight saw Dave face-off with Troy Resic of Black Panther MMA in Geelong. The first round started out at an extremely hectic pace with Troy controlling the grapple and dumping Dave quite a few times in the early minutes. Troy won the first round convincingly, so Dave decided to up the ante and live up to his namesake - he turned into “the Nightmare”, and dominated Troy with a barrage of punches and kicks throughout the second round.

Dave 'the Nightmare' Lawton

The boys went into the third round with the scores even, and David – under strict instructions from his corner – kept up the pressure for the following two minutes. Dave followed the instructions perfectly and got a TKO with just a few seconds of the round remaining. A massive achievement for a first fight. Our boy from Cork, Ireland, was over the moon.

Phil 'the Professor' Arsoski

Next up was Phil Arsoski against Patrick Scurry from Martial Mix. The fight proved extremely close throughout, and Phil got a very lucky eight-count in the second round. Phil picked up the pace in the third and final round, going for head-kicks and big right hands. Phil won convincingly on all three judges’ scorecards. That made two-for-two for the Hangar.

Moz

Going into the third fight, Michael O’ Sullivan (Moz) was up against an extremely experienced fighter named Marc Gelsi from Powerplay Gym. Though this was only Marc’s third fight, Marc has trained for well over ten years. The fight started out at a ferocious pace with both boys throwing big bombs. Unluckily for Moz, he was struck with a knee to the groin which threw him off track. Marc, seeing his opportunity, powered through with some big punches and knocked Moz out before the first round bell.

Well done to all three for giving it their all, and thanks to everyone who came down on the night to show their support.

CAGE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS (CFC) 11 - LUNA PARK, SYDNEY - 20th NOV, 2009

Ash walking out at CFC 11

Ashley Powell stepped up to Australia’s premier MMA promotion, CFC. Fighting at his new MMA fight weight of 65kgs, Ash was up against Sydney’s Gracie-Barra BJJ purple belt BJJ Hugh Cameron.

This was a huge test for Ash as Hugh had greater MMA experience with more fights at this level. After seeing footage of a few of Hugh’s previous fights, the game-plan was to keep the fight at a distance and to not get caught-up in a wrestling match. Unfortunately this did not eventuate as Hugh closed the gap in every encounter to get the take-down, and then proceeded to lay dormant for the remainder of each round.

Ash at CFC 11 Ash worked off his back for the entire fight; he dropped elbows onto Hugh’s head and pleaded for the ref to stand them up, but Hugh gritted it out for a non-decisive win.

Well done to Ash for stepping up to the CFC, for whom he’ll be fighting again in March 2010.

ULTIMATE GLORY - KEILOR BASKETBALL STADIUM - 1st NOV, 2009

Hangar 4’s Ash Powell faced a big task on Sunday night with the possibility of fighting twice in the same night at the fight weight of 65kgs. It was the first time that Ash was to fight at this weight, and with a great diet plan and intense training program Ash made the weight with ease.

Ash’s first fight of the night was against Erik Miskell of Young Bulls Gym in Dandenong. Its trainer, Laos Tui, always has his guys in great shape. Erik put in a strong effort, but with Ash controlling the grapple with his strength and height advantage, everything went to plan and Ash won a majority points decision on all 3 score cards.

The second fight of the night was against Allan Gocs from Martial Mix, a gym known for its conditioning and with Allan fresh and Ash already having had one fight that evening, it was going to be tough.

This second fight was very much a carbon copy of the first. With Ash being the taller fighter, once Allan came inside Ash’s grapple he was just too strong and Ash let a flurry of knees and elbows go in every exchange. The fight went very much to plan, and with Ash having cut Allan in the last round, Ash put an exclamation mark on the fight and walked away with a $1000 cash prize put into his shorts by promoter Jonny Scida.

Next up for Ash is an MMA fight in Sydney on CFC (Cage Fighting Championship) on the 20^th November. The Hangar will also be represented by Lindsay Sheehan fighting at his new fight weight of 84kg. With both of the these boys up in Sydney on the Friday night, followed by Nadine Allshorn, Michael O’Sullivan and Ben Ackroyd fighting on the Sunday at Chelsea Heights, it promises to be a big weekend for the Hangar 4 coaching and support staff.

After these shows, we have David ‘the Nightmare’ Lawton and Phil Arsoski fighting on the final Ultimate show of the year on 27^th November at Hoppers Crossing.
