WKN. Irish Super Heavyweight Amateur Kickboxing Rules - Low kick Title
James Gillen (Winner 3rd RSF )( Portadown) Vs  Dylan Scally (Dublin)

A delighted James Gillen with the WKN Super heavyweight Irish title belt at a packed Millennium ForumBoth super heavyweights promised a thriller and that's what was delivered. The Dublin punisher forced the referee to administer a standing count to the big Portadown man at the end of the first round. 2nd round Gillen came out with a game plan to hit and move which he done with effect throughout the round and got himself back into the mix.
In the 3rd it was a different story Gillen found the confidence and the aggression he once had when he was champion of the Island of Ireland as he pushed forward throwing with a two handed attack catching the Dubliner with some heavy shots. The referee was forced to jump in with a count. Dylan received attention for a bloodied nose by his cornerman. The referee continued to count, Dylan didn't answer the call and the referee was forced to stop the fight.
This was a thriller and one of the most exciting fights of the night. A true fitting for the title of kickboxing champion of All-Ireland.
