Hello everyone!!! Well, the first round of the tournament has finished and what an event we had with a lot of bonuses already being paid out! Thanks to Mickey Hart for paying out the bounties he set out. There is only one bounty left so we will see if it gets completed tonight!!



Also a change in the prizes. Originally it was $25k for fastest finish via kicks and $25k for fastest finish via punches and twocool was supposed to put in $25k for fastest overall finish. With twocool going inactive, i decided to still honour his bonus but i merged it with the kicks/punches and upped them both to $50k each. You can see who is in contention for the fastest finish in the first page! What bonuses will you go for???



Anyways, here is the updated bracket which you can all see here if you want:


http://challonge.com/JGMKT2hw for the Heavyweights and http://challonge.com/JGMKT2mw for the Middleweights. But for your convenience here is a screenshot of both brackets, which i have also updated for the first page.

My next opponent hasn't said anything, I guess he is a scared man. I hope he does fight me, I like to fight."

Hello everyone!!!



It's been a while and i guess everyone has been busy training to advance to the next round of the Junior Grand Master of KT 2.



16 Heavyweights and 16 Middleweights signed up, and we have been reduced to 8 men in each division.



And what an interesting tournament we have had so far with bounties being paid out! Who will get the last bounty?



Think you know who will win? Well put your money where your mouth is and head down to Lumpinee (KT) Bets and see if you can beat the odds!



Also, head down to TKO Clothing for the official Junior Grand Master 2 clothing! Stock is limited so get them while they last!



Now on to the fights!!



The Junior Grand Master of KT 2 presents: Lumpinee 9



Middleweight Tournament Fight


Duke McStoner v Aksel Stenge


Both men finished their opponents in impressive fashion in the last round with McStoner making short work of Beau Van Steyne while Stenge impressed with his highlight reel KO. Very tough fight to pick and i am impressed with Stenge's Muay Thai, but i feel the Irish brawler will be too much for him.


Sully's Prediction: McStoner will earn the early TKO.



Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Donal Maciver v Callum McFinnigan


Two heavy hitters open the next round of the Heavyweight tournament as Muay Thai expert Maciver carved through his opponent with knees. He faces boxer McFinnigan who knocked out late replacement (and training partner of mine) Hamutana in the second round. Tough call to make as all it takes is one shot from the Heavyweights to end a fight.


Sully's Prediction: I feel Maciver will be able to take the fight where he wants to in the clinch and will wear him down before finishing with another deadly knee.



Middleweight Tournament Fight


Chuck Steel v Si Pitung


Pitung comes in with a dominating performance in his last fight as he steps in the ring against Chuck Steel. Steel fought a brave fight and showed a lot of heart beating a fellow training partner of mine by cuts. While i have to give him credit for beating my mate, he has not shown anything to let me know that he can take the power shots of Pitung.


Sully's Prediction: Pitung to get the early KO.



Middleweight Tournament Fight


Bobby Light v Pepe Apolo


Light overcame a very close decision in his last fight against a tough opponent. Apolo on the other hand dominated and wore down his opponent in the clinch before finishing off late in the third. Light comes from the same management as the last Junior Grand Master of KT so i won't write him off just yet. If i was to go on form, i would have to pick Apolo, however i am gonna go against the grain here and pick Light to turn around and bounce back from a lackluster fight.


Sully's Prediction: Light via Decision.



Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Mar Poker v Mc Steel Penn


Poker is coming off a dominating performance and looks to continue his streak against Steel Penn who is one of only 2 Heavyweights to have grinded out a decision. Penn will look to keep this on the outside and his his boxing, however i see Magus taking this into the clinch where he will wear Penn down and ultimately finish him in the second round.


Sully's Prediction: Magus by TKO.



Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Grigoriy Chirkash v Benson Randol


Two sides of the spectrum here as Randol is the other Heavyweight not to have finished his opponent to continue. Chirkash is quite the opposite as he is in the front for fastest KO via punches as he only needed 21 seconds to get into the second round. Sully's Prediction: I see more of the same this fight as Chirkash collects the bounty placed on Randol with yet another quick KO, maybe even breaking his own record doing so.



Middleweight Tournament Fight


Casper Timmermans v Ramon Van Hassel


Both men have shown to be more technical here as they showcased their skills in their last fight. Van Hassel frustrated his opponent by clinching and breaking while peppering him with strikes on the outside. That technique won't work on Timmermans who showed in his last fight he is capable of defending well while doing damage on the outside.


Sully's Prediction: Tough fight to call but I think Timmermans is the more technical and will edge out a close decision to move onto the next round.



Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Faiq Bolkiah v Steve Smith


Two powerhouses close out the Heavyweight tournament. Bolkiah needed only 18 seconds to advance, and is in the running to claim the fastest KO via kicks. Smith on the other hand is not intimidated as he took out a much larger opponent and is looking to do the same as he faces another big opponent. If Smith can weather the storm and avoid the early onslaught, he is in with a chance to wear the bigger man down, however i feel Bolkiah will be too strong.


Sully's Prediction: Bolkiah to blitz through his defenses and KO him in the first.



Co-Main Event


Hadi Ozturk v Bruce Luis


Two EFFA legends face off in a rematch. These men faced each other 4 (tycoon) years ago and Luis was able to overcome the odds as an underdog to shock the world when he dominated a young Ozturk from the beginning to end. A lot has happened since then and the two men find themselves facing each other again. Both men are evenly matched although Luis was knocked out in his last fight. Will that play a factor in this?


Sully's Prediction: Ozturk via Decision



Main Event


Halfdan Lodbrok v Scott Nichols


Both men are former EFFA legends and are both under new management so this will be an interesting fight indeed. Lodbrok is a former EFFA Middleweight Champion but seemed to have lost his will to fight a few years back. He will be stepping into the ring after 2 (tycoon) years away and seems to have found a renewed passion for the sport. Nichols is also under new management and someone i am familiar with as i have stepped into the ring with him before. However i have heard a rumour that he is in financial trouble and is coming into this fight out of shape after not having the best training camp. If he doesn't come in focused then i am worried about what a dangerous and focused Lodbrok will do in his comeback fight.


Sully's Prediction: If the rumours of a bad training camp and financial troubles are true, then I believe Lodbrok will easily walk through Nichols.



And that is it for another round of fights!!!



So whether you are joining us live at The Underground, or you are watching it from the comfort of your own home or in one of my HD screens, make sure you are having a blast! :drunk:



As always,


Stay Classy

"Kaboom. I came out and I was like, counter right, and when he was hurt I was like fuck yeah I'm throwing spinny shit now, and hit him with the backfist.


Down he went like a ragdoll and I've got a ton of cash now. I can buy big bags of weed."

Owner of Sully's Bar & Grill on The Island)



Hello everyone!!!



Well can you believe we are down to the Final 4 in both divisions of the Junior Grand Master of KT 2? Well, this weekend at Lumpinee 12 four young Heavyweights and four young Middleweights will fight for the right to get into the finals as we crown the new Junior Grand Master of KT. Will they take KT to the next level or fade into obscurity as a younger crop come up to take their crown?



Well wherever you are watching the show, make sure you drop into TKO Clothing in Montreal to get your official Junior Grand Master of KT 2 gear while stocks last!!



The Junior Grand Master of KT 2 Presents:


Lumpinee 12




PRELIMINARY FIGHTS


Igor Pasternack v Steve Boner


Boner is making his KT debut here after going 4-0 in MMA Quick Fights. He puts his undefeated record up against a man who is fighting for the first time since losing in the first round of the Junior Grand Master of KT 2. While Boner is undefeated and has the edge in experience he has yet to step into a KT ring and i believe that will be a factor. Pasternack on the other hand is looking to bounce back and i believe he has more to prove.


Sully's Prediction: Pasternack to out-box Boner to hand him his first loss.



Callum McFinnigan v Johan Geerestein


A battle of two men who also signed up for the tournament. Geerestein was knocked out in the first round of the tournament but has bounced back with a knockout win of his own to gain a bit of momentum. McFinnigan got through to the second round only to be halted by semi-finalist Donal Maciver. Geerestein looked really good since being knocked out as he used his clinch to wear his opponent out. McFinnigan on the other hand has shown to be vulnerable in the clinch. Will this be a factor?


Sully's Prediction: Geerestein to utilise his clinch game to wear McFinnigan down and get the late (T)KO.



Dwight Walker v Jorge Aldo


18 year old Walker makes his KT debut in Lumpinee after losing his debut MMA fight. He does so against a veteran of the sport. Not much is known about Walker except he got taken down in his first fight and has not fought since. Aldo got to the Semi Finals of the Bloodsport Tournament but is 1-4 in his last 5 fights. Rumours are circulating that he is not very focused and against a young hungry fighter that is not a good attitude to have.


Sully's Prediction: I am going to have to go for the youth here as Walker will look to make a name for himself by making short work of the veteran.



Alanian Aryan v Nick Gonzalez


Aryan makes his KT debut here against Nick Gonzalez. Now I would be lying if i said i knew a lot about Gonzalez, but i have seen him on social media and he is not one to back away from a challenge. Love him or hate him, he sure knows how to generate attention and i have a feeling many people will be tuning in to see if he can back up his words. Aryan has very dangerous knees which he has been using in his MMA fights. While he has shown he is susceptible to being taken down, he does not need to worry about that in his KT debut and as a result he can concentrate on inflicting damage. Meanwhile Gonzalez has shown that he will come in aggressive and will look to finish it early. Can Aryan weather the storm?


Sully's Prediction: While i like Gonzalez and his antics, i fear that his over aggressiveness will leave him open to the clinch where Aryan will wear him down with his knees to take the decision.



Junior Grand Master of KT II - Middleweight Tournament Fight


Casper Timmermans v Pepe Apolo


Both men are coming off first round knockouts to get themselves into the semi-final and look to continue the trend here. Pepe shocked a lot of people in the last round when he took out the favourite Bobby Light in the in the first round. Timmermans will want to keep this fight on the outside and avoid the clinch where Apolo looks to have the advantage. Who will execute their gameplan?


Sully's Prediction: Apolo has surprised a lot of people by making it this far. Timmermans has shown to be vulnerable in the clinch and that is exactly where i see the fight going as Apolo wears him out for the late KO victory.



Junior Grand Master of KT II - Middleweight Tournament Fight


Duke McStoner v Si Pitung


On paper McStoner has the edge in boxing while Muay Thai fighter Pitung has shown he is also capable of throwing fists as shown in his last few fights. McStoner put on a show in his last fight with his highlight reel spinning backfist victory. Can he earn himself another bonus?


Sully's Prediction: Tough fight to call. I see this fight going into the clinch where the stronger man will impose his will on his opponent. Flip of the coin here, but i will say Pitung by close decision.



Junior Grand Master of KT II - Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Grigoriy Chirkash v Mar Poker


Chirkash made a statement in the first round when he won in 21 seconds to be the frontrunner of the Fastest (T)KO via punches/elbows award. Poker on the other hand has muscled his way through his fights by wearing down his opponents in the clinch and finishing them in devastating fashion. In the world of big men all it takes is one shot to end it and both these men have shown they can put their opponent to sleep. It just comes down to who can take their opponent into their world first.


Sully's Prediction: Tough one to call... This fight will most likely end up in the clinch where Poker has shown he is strongest. Look for Chirkash to come out aggressive and knock Poker out before it gets there.



Joels Van Wijnbergen v Gary Baxter


Wijnbergen looking to continue his momentum after getting his first pro win at Lumpinee 11 by agreeing to this rematch on short notice. He faces former contender Baxter who recently lost a title fight. These men met previously at Light-Heavyweight where Baxter got the split decision win. Since then, Baxter has been caught in the middle of contract dramas with his manager and one has to think this is a distraction going into his fight camp. Wijbergen on the other hand is riding some momentum and looks focused to avenge his loss.


Sully's Prediction: Joels has been very honest about his motivation for losing weight and looked good in his Middleweight debut. Despite the short notice, I think he will avenge his loss by wearing down the former contender and knocking him out late in the fight.



Junior Grand Master of KT II - Heavyweight Tournament Fight


Faiq Bolkiah v Donal Maciver


Bolkiah burst onto the scene with a brutal 18 second Head Kick KO in the first round to make himself the frontrunner for Fastest (T)KO via kicks/knees. He continued that with another highlight reel KO in his second fight. He comes against another man who uses his legs to KO his victims, albeit via knees. Don't blink, as you are likely to miss a highlight here as both men will look to finish.


Sully's Prediction: Both men are capable of one hit KO's. Look for Bolkiah to avoid the clinch and land another highlight reel KO, possibly beating his Fastest KO via kicks/knees time.



Main Event - Lumpinee Lightweight Title Fight


Lambert George v Pekko Wannanen


These men face each other for the second time, this time the belt is on the line. Since losing his debut fight in the Bloodsport tournament, George has bounced back to not only claim the Bloodsport Tournament but earned himself a chance to get his hands on the Lumpinee Lightweight Title. Will George go in confident knowing he has the skills to KO his opponent? How much has Wannanen improved his his last loss?


Sully's Prediction: Tough fight for both men, but i think George will get the win here. Wannanen has improved since his loss, but George has also taken his skills to the next level. Look for a close back and forth fight with George taking the close decision.



And that my friends is my thoughts on the Junior Grand Master of KT 2 happening this weekend!



Can't wait until Sunday to get your KT fix??? Then get yourself to Sully's Bar & Grill on The Island and grab yourself a few cold ones while you tune in to HightlandKT 4 to see the best strikers on The Island duke it out!!



Until the next time,


Train hard :training2:


Fight hard :boxing:


Play hard :drunk:



And as always,


Stay Classy

Hello everyone!!! What a ride it has been!!!

16 Heavyweights and 16 Middleweights signed up for their chance to take KT to the next level and we are now down to the Finals in each division. Who will take out the title and win the Prizes?? Find out as we tune into the first episode of...

http://i.imgur.com/yPwBr4L.png

Lumpinee 12:

 

 

PRELIMINARY FIGHTS

Igor Pasternack def Steve Boner in Round 1 by KO (Punch)

Pasternack ends Boner's undefeated streak with a brutal KO to open the night out.

Johan Geerestein def Callum McFinnigan in Round 1 by TKO (Punch)

Geerestein showed that he may be out of the tournament but he is not done fighting with this brutal TKO. With performances like that, you may get another shot at the winner!

Dwight Walker def Jorge Aldo in Round 2 by TKO (Punch)

Walker makes his KT debut here against the veteran and easily had his way with him. Aldo has no answers and looked a shadow of himself against Walker.

Nick Gonzalez def Alanian Aryan in Round 1 by KO (Punches) - $2000 KO of the Night

What about Gonzalez proving me wrong and making quick work of Aryan and backing his trash talk up with his flying fists, earning himself a nice $2000 bonus! We ain't seen the last of this guy and i can't wait to see what he gets up to next!

MAIN CARD

Junior Grand Master of KT - Middleweight Tournament Fight

Casper Timmermans def Pepe Apolo in Round 3 by TKO (Punch)

Timmermans jabbed away at Apolo who kept trying to muscle his way into the clinch. By the third round Apolo had nothing left and Timmermans finished him off to earn himself a spot in the Finals of the Middleweight tournament!

Junior Grand Master of KT - Middleweight Tournament Fight

Duke McStoner def Si Pitung in Round 2 by TKO (Punch)

Heavy clinch fight with both men throwing leather in the clinch. In the end McStoner landed the heavier shots and did the most damage as he fights his way to the Finals to meet Timmermans.

Junior Grand Master of KT - Heavyweight Tournament Fight

Mar Poker def Grigoriy Chirkash in Round 2 by TKO (Punch)

Another clinch heavy fight as Poker muscles his way into the clinch and neutralizes Chirkash's explosive power and wore him down to finish him off in the second round.

Joels Van Wijnbergen def Gary Baxter via Split Decision - $2000 Fight of the Night

Fight of the Night honours go to this fight as Wijnbergen takes the rematch. In a tight back and forth match, Wijnbergen was able to overcome the loss and looked fit at Middleweight, even rocking the man who beat him previously. He was unable to finish the fight but it sure had the fans cheering non stop for a well deserved $2000 bonus to each man!

Junior Grand Master of KT - Heavyweight Tournament Fight

Donal Maciver def Faiq Bolkiah in Round 1 by TKO (Knee)

Bolkiah takes the fight into the clinch and was hoping to muscle his way to victory but Maciver had other plans. While he was able to clinch, Bolkiah was unable to much else as Maciver pretty much had his way with him, wearing the big man down and making a statement with a huge knee to finish him off. He now takes on Poker in the finals.

MAIN EVENT - Lumpinee Lightweight Title Fight

Lambert George def Pekko Wannanen via Unanimous Decision to become the first Lumpinee Lightweight Champion

George has come a long way since losing his debut fight and can now add the Lumpinee Lightweight belt to his collection next to his Bloodsport trophy. Wannanen wanted to avenge his loss but it wasn't meant to be as Lambert dominated for 5 rounds to claim the belt!

Closing Thoughts:

What a night!! First of all, this Nick Gonzalez fella.... I gotta say while i like the way he talks i was a bit scared he wouldn't be able to back it up. He sure made me eat my words by earning his $2000 bonus in less than a minute.

Also I hope Gary Baxter spends his $2000 Fight of the Night money wisely as this was the last fight on his contract and his management team has been known to be very difficult to deal with. Let's hope his future isn't ruined by bad management.

Congratulations to Lambert George for becoming the first Lumpinee Lightweight Champion. Let's hope the next generation will come up to challenge you for the belt!

Lumpinee 14 will see Si Pitung and Pepe Apolo battle it out for third place of the Middleweight tournament while Faiq Bolkiah and Grigoriy Chirkash will battle it out for third place of the Heavyweight tournament.

That will lead to Lumpinee 15 where Casper Timmermans will face Duke McStoner in the Middleweight Final while Mar Poker will face Donal Maciver

face off for the Heavyweight Tournament Final!

On the topic of Bolkiah and Chirkash, they are still in the lead for Fastest (T)KO via kicks/knees (Bolkiah with 18 seconds) and Fastest (T)KO via punches/elbows (Chirkash with 21 seconds). Can someone beat that record? Click HERE to see the updated list of bonuses for the tournament.

(Participant of The Island Season 2. Former MMA and KT Fighter.

Owner of Sully's Bar & Grill on The Island)

Hello everyone!! We are now at the Final phase of the Junior Grand Master of KT 2 and in just a few days two young warriors will be crowned as the future of KT!!

Will they take KT to the next level or will they fall flat? Who will rise up to challenge them?

Before I get into the matches, just a bit of a news flash. Lumpinee 14 saw the battle for Third Place of the Junior Grand Master of KT which leds to Lumpinee 15.

Si Pitung bounced back to beat Pepe Apolo to win 3rd in the Middleweight division of the tournament, earning himself $75k in the process!

Meanwhile in the Heavyweight division, Faiq Bolkiah fought Johan Geerestein who replaced Grigoriy Chirkash after he retired from active competition after losing in the semi finals. Faiq earned himself $75k with a head kick victory to claim 3rd place.

Congrats to Faiq Bolkiah and Si Pitung for taking out Third Place in the leadup to Lumpinee 15 where we will crown the Finals!

What a long road it has been! I can't wait to see where the future of KT takes us. Without further ado, I bring to you my thoughts on the Finals of this tournament with another edition of:

http://i.imgur.com/yPwBr4L.png

Lumpinee 15

PRELIMINARY FIGHTS

Hipolito Hoplitai Haploi v Igor Pasternack

The heavy-hitters start off the show as Junior Grand Master 2 contestant Pasternack faces Haploi. Pasternack has the advantage in boxing and has shown he has heavy hands while Haploi will look to wear down the boxer with his Muay Thai game. Rumours are circulating that Pasternack is not 100% focused on this fight and in the heavyweight division that can leave you on the floor.

Sully's Prediction: Haploi to wear down Pasternack to earn the late TKO.

PRELIMINARY FIGHTS

Michael Henson v Mikami Kanno

Both 20 year olds step after bouncing back with a win. On paper Henson has all the advantages, including experience. I think this will be a big factor with Henson as he uses his fitness to his advantage.

Sully's Prediction: Barring some unfortunate incident, i see Henson blitzing Kanno early in the first.

PRELIMINARY FIGHTS

Michel Nostredame v Aksel Stenger

Since losing in the second round of the tournament, Stenger has bounced back with 2 wins in a row. He faces Nostredame who puts his 2-0 record on the line. Nostradame is coming off a win against tournament fighter Napapa and looks to add another tournament vet to his resume.

Sully's Prediction: While both are young in age, I think Stenger's experience will be a big factor in this. Stenger to earn a dominating decision.

Junior Grand Master of KT - Heavyweight Final

Donal Maciver v Mar Poker

Both men have come into this Final having knocked out all 3 of their opponents and have all shown a clinch game. Poker has shown to use his dirty boxing to wear his opponents down before the finish while Maciver has shown more variety on his clinch game. Did I mention they both have a strong clinch game?

Sully's Prediction: On paper i would have to say Maciver has the advantage, however Poker's opponents know he will use his punches in the clinch yet have been unable to stop it. I'm gonna go for the underdog and say that Poker will somehow pull it out of his ass and get the late TKO.

Etan Seeman v Ray Force

Both men are making their KT debut here as former Island fighter Ray Force has his first fight in 2 (tycoon) years! Force made his debut on The Island and continued his career winning the ICON Super Heavyweight Belt before retiring. He makes his comeback against Seeman who is also making his KT debut. Will ring rust play a factor? Will age? Or experience?

Sully's Prediction: On paper Seeman seems to have all the advantages. However Force only needs one hit to take you out and I believe his experience will be a huge influence on this fight. Force to earn the late KO.

The Doctor v Volga Overstreet

The Doctor faces MMA veteran Overstreet who is making his KT debut here. Despite this being his first time in the KT ring, Overstreet is a seasoned vet who is not shy to knock someone out. He puts it all on the line here while giving up a sizeable amount of weight. Very interesting matchup.

Sully's Prediction: Overstreet has the edge in experience, however he is getting up there in age and has taken some damage in his fights. I think Doc's KT experience and his size advantage will be enough to wear Overstreet down to earn the late TKO.

Junior Grand Master of KT - Middleweight Final

Duke McStoner v Casper Timmermans

The Finals of the Middleweight division sees two knockout artist step into the ring to take out the trophy. McStoner has shown that he can be flashy with his highlight reel KO's while Timmermans looks to be more technical with his boxing. McStoner has already taken a nice bonus with his spinning backfist KO. Will he look to take another?

Sully's Prediction: Tough back and forth fight, and despite both men being knockout artists I see this being a close fight to the finish. Tough call to make, but if i had to choose i would have to say McStoner via Decision to take the trophy home.

Lumpinee Welterweight Title Fight

Nick Gonzalez v Cory McDonnell

After just 2 fights each, both men will fight for the Lumpinee Welterweight Title. Say what you want about Gonazles, but he has been able to back his words up so far. McDonnell steps into the ring to fight for a belt despite not being old enough to have a beer after the fight! Interesting matchup indeed.

Sully's Prediction: While Gonzales has shown he has explosive power with his raw aggressiveness, McDonnell has been improving at a rapid pace and may shock a lot of people here. I feel McDonnell will take the belt in this fight, however i have been wrong about Gonzales before.

Halfdan Lodbrok v Bruce Luis

Two veterans step into the KT ring in our co-main event here. Luis is coming off a huge win avenging his previous loss to JT Redman while Lodbrok looked sharp after 2 (tycoon) years away from the ring. Luis has improved a lot in the last few years, however Lodbrok seems to have shaken up his ring rust and his KO or be KO'd mentality has made for a lot of interesting fights.

Sully's Prediction: Lodbrok looks focused and the time away from the ring looks to have rejuvenated him. He also has a big size advantage which will only help his KO power. Lodbrok to earn the early KO.

Sergei Dimitrovich v Carson West

EFFA Heavyweight Champion Dimitrovich comes in for the main event against West who despite being 30 years old only has 5 fights to his name and is looking to add a big name to his win list. On paper Dimitrovich brings years of experience to the ring having been a veteran in both MMA and KT. West has only had 4 wins and has knocked out all 4 of his opponents so anything can happen in the KT ring.

And there we have it for Lumpinee 15!!

2 more fights to determine the finals!!

Can anyone break the 18 second fastest KO via kicks? Or the 21 second fastest KO via punches?

Also with the Hanging for Dear Life award (25k) up for grabs in the Final of the Heavyweight division, who will take that out?

Hello everyone!!



The Junior Grand Master of KT 2 has finished and what a wild ride it has been! There were some difficulties in the beginning and for a while it looked like the tournament would not happen.
