The
WKN European cup in Turin, Italy was an amazing success claimed
Belfast's Robert Masterson - Masterson returned home full of praise
for the Italian promoters.
"This was a great event, thirteen of Italy's best took on
thirteen European fighters from different countries in the first
WKN amateur Cup. The Italian's have set the bar for other countries
to follow. The organisation of the event was great and one of
the highest I've seen for a while." The Belfast kickboxing
official added; "Right after the amateur event was over,
the promoter staged a top class professional event which kicked
into place with 8 top-class pro bouts. I'm looking forward to
next years event where ever it is. I've been told that so many
countries have applied to the WKN world office to stage next years
event.
DUBLIN's Dylan Scally who took part in the event was stopped
in the third round. The tough Dubliner got himself back in the
fight after taking a full shin to the head which saw him visit
the canvas for a short count in the first round - but at the end
of the third round he was taking some heavy low kicks in the Thai
style fight -forcing the referee to call a halt to his dream of
European glory - the gutsy Dubliner will be back in action when
he is part of the All-Ireland team to challenge the German's on
May 19 in Hamburg.
Saintfield’s Stuart Jess was sidelined for the Italian contest
as he failed to make the mandatory weight category.
