Fight Night At the Greensboro Coliseum I would like to start off first by sending out thoughts and prayers to champion Muay Thai. On the way to the fights they were in a serious car accident with two fighters being injured badly. It was a great night of kickboxing at the Greensboro Coliseum! Team Copeland represented itself well. The Corron family including Birgit ( Mom ) were scheduled to get it on. Kevin Corron the youngest of the family had his first bout that night against Troy Boyce of Greensboro. The bell rang for the first round and Boyce came out and jumped on Kevin. But Kevin stayed poised, weathered the storm and knocked Troy down at the end of the first winning by T.K.O. Daniel Corron was scheduled to fight Lum Loen of Lexington NC but Lum was unable to come and fight. Daniel ended up having a rematch with Jerry Eagan of Myrtle Beach SC. Daniel came out it the first a little to confident in the fact that he had beaten Jerry before. By the end of the first Daniel got his head out of the clouds and realized he had a fight on his hands. Jerry Eagan was much better prepared and Daniel won by unanimous decision after three. Birgit Corron came in shape and ready. Unfortunately her opponent was from Champion Muay Thai, so she had no fight. Mike"the Animal" Harris had the battle of the night against Rockin Ron Chewning of the Sportsplex. Both fighters landed hard shots throughout the fight. Mike just seemed to be a step off. At the end of three Ron won the decision. The rematch is coming 10/11 and I can't wait to see it! |

Team Hurricane had three fighters scheduled on the
card. The first was 11 year old Justin "The Jackhammer" Scoggins. This
was his first fight and he was pumped. His opponent Tyler Price is the
2003 KICK North American Champion with a record of 10 wins with 0
losses, but Justin was ready to rumble. When the bell sounded Justin a
first time fighter swarmed his opponent, landing powerful combinations
and strong kicks. Justin's opponent was surprised. When it was over,
Justin was the winner by unanimous decision. Next up was Tiffany Owen.
This was her second bout . Her game plan was to stay in her opponent's
face. After scoring four knockdowns, Tiffany was declared the winner by
Unanimous decision. Finally, it was near midnight. The Co-main event
was Shannon "The Cannon" against Bruce "The Mountain Lion" Flynn. A
four round title defense for the Cannon. Hudson made his way to the ring
and waited, and waited, and waited. The Cannon's opponent was nowhere to
be found. Someone said they saw him leave the arena about thirty minutes
ago. Hudson wins by forfeit

| The main event was Ronnie "The
Kid" Copeland against Joshua "Hollywood" Hancock out of Georgia. I came
out in the first expecting the shorter Hancock to be like a bull in a
china shop coming hard and my plan was to move on him. He didn't come to
me so I started to go after him. In the middle of the round Hancock
switched south paw on me to try and throw me off. So I switched too.
With about 15 seconds left in the first I hit him with a right leg round
kick followed by a straight left which dropped him. He popped up at the
count of three, the bell rang to end the round. Round two was more of
the same I landed some clean combos and started a body attack. Toward
the end of the round I spun him out and landed a hard shin kick to his
ribs. The bell sounded for the round to end, we both returned to our
corners and the referee Bill Clancy called a medical time out at
Hancock's request. Hancock was having trouble breathing so the doctor
came into the ring to check him out. According to the doctor his
breathing passages were clear. Hancock still couldn't breath so it was a
medical stoppage after the second which goes down in the books as a
technical knock out. I asked him after the fight what had happened and
he said it was the round kick that hurt him. |

NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

Congratulations to all of the fighters in attendance to the first ever K.I.C.K.
International North American Championships. In all 70 fighters attended from all
over the United States, Canada, and Mexico. There were not as many fighters as
were hoped for because of scheduling of other tournaments and the outright lies
and bashing done by other organizations. Despite the number of fighters the
quality and desire of the fighters in attendance was awesome. The tournament was
double elimination which made up for the low turn out. K.I.C.K. President Frank
Babcock said that double elimination is a survivor's tournament. And he was
right!
I was very proud of our team who did excellent. Mike "The Animal" Harris
fought Kevin Garrison in his first fight and won a unanimous decision. Kevin was
a tough game opponent but could not stand up to the BIG right hand of the
animal. In Mike's next fight he fought Peyton Russell. Peyton has been around
the block. He has won 2 IKF National Titles. He is the K.I.C.K. U.S.A. Middle
Weight Champion, The IKF North American Champion and has fought internationally.
Mike came into the fight as the underdog but was game and ready to take him.
Peyton won a unanimous decision over Mike but Mike made a good showing. Mike
caught Peyton with a trade mark right hand in the second and rocked Peyton in
the second. The experience of over 35 fights was just too much. When Mike fought
Peyton it was only Mike's 8th fight. That is what we came to Las Vegas for to
fight the best and learn form it. Unfortunately Mike did not get to fight again
because of a cut he suffered during the fight from a front kick. After the fight
the Dr. gave Mike six stitches in his chin.
Daniel first fight was against Brian Douglas from Canada. Brian was absolutely
huge! He dwarfed Daniel. I have to hand it to Daniel he did what he was supposed
to do and fought hard and did well against the bigger more experienced opponent.
Although Daniel lost the decision it was a double elimination tournament. The
next day Daniel Fought Kevin Garrison in the losers bracket Daniel put on a
kicking display in the fight and looked the best he ever has. Kevin was a
strong puncher though and caught Daniel a couple of times during the fight. I
was very proud of Daniel after the fight he looked 100% better in that fight. I
felt it could go to either fighter. When the decision came down it was for
Garrison. Again that is why we came to get experience and he got a lot of it and
looked impressive. Shannon "The Cannon" Hudson was along with the Team this
trip and looked great getting better every fight. After it was all said and done
he won it all and was the 2003 K.I.C.K. North American Champion. The winners
that I know were Shannon Hudson, Doyle Gaylor, Peyton Russell, Mike Holcomb,
Nelson Lebron, Spencer Tart, and Stephen Thompson. Below is a complete list of
the new K.I.C.K. North American Champions in all age groups and weight
divisions. Congratulations to them all!

KICKBOXING BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN IN GREENSBORO !!!!
The Kickboxing/Boxing Explosion lived up to its name! Cheryl Nance
Promotions put together and excellent card of amateur kickboxing and boxing with
21 boxing matches and 13 kickboxing matches. More boxers showed up than was
anticipated and actually some boxers were turned away because of the
shear volume of fights. Cheryl Nance hated to do this because she wanted to
give as many fighters as possible the opportunity to compete. With 34 fights on
the card a well run event is crucial. This show ran like clock work. The
fights started on time at 7pm and ran smoothly all the way through. Around 9:30
the boxing matches were through the KICKBOXING began.
When the KICKBOXING started the crowd seemed to come alive. The fights went as
such.

In the CO-MAIN EVENT we
have a fight of great local interest. Greensboro’s very own Jay ”The

Stephen
“Wonderboy” Thompson. Experience vs. youth! Jay Bell has been

and continuous contact events. In 1987 he went to Germany and fought
on the U.S. W.A.K.O. team with the likes of Troy Dorsey and Jerry
Rhome. Stephen Thompson has won several titles in kickboxing with
his 27-0 record. The question will be can the veteran pull it out
against the young rising star?
