Bruce the tighter fighter with Hamilton fighting somewhat recklessly. another even round-ish

Round 4 - Hamilton missed 6 kicks from the third round and was busier in this round to make the total of 14 kicks - another even round

Round 5 - An amazing display of kickboxing from the two talented fighters, so hard to split the pair as they battle for world glory continues.

Round 6 - Codron is the stronger fighter in this round throwing hard body shots and punches to the head. Gary countering well but falling behind and look very fatigued. Codron, clearly looks in control.

Round 7 -
Come on Gary was the cry you can do it

 

Codron stepping up the heat now as he is constantly throwing kicks and punches with most landing, Hamilton looks on shaky ground its worrying time for the Belfast fighter.





Round 8 - Hamilton comes out stronger this time and matches Codron blow for blow to score a draw in this round. Not listening to corner continues to work in the inside were Cordon is stronger. Is it because Hamilton is tired and he can’t use the ring!? Gary takes some big big shots from Codron.

Round 9 - Gary sweeps Codron of his feet and picks up on momentum to take this round, he has got a good chin took some great shots and caught Codron with a cracking uppercut that momentarily made the Frenchman freeze.

Round 10 – our phone line went down and Carl Emery lost the connection – come on Carl what is happening dial the number and tell us what is happening please!! OK he’s back ...the 10th a very even tenth round, is that it?

Round 11 - A much better round for Hamilton - Codron tries a jumping back kick but falls flat on his back. Hamilton gets told off after a sweep, referee said it was a low-kick (Kinda right) resulting in a minus point. Hamilton successfully sweeps and uppercuts Codron a few times. Hamilton may need a knock out to win however in the 12th round, but one of Hamilton’s best rounds, how does he do it when he looked out on his feet in the middle rounds....Come on Gary!!!!!

Round 12 – And the final round the crowd are on their feet - Gary going flat out to score a victory, Codron tiring, really tiring and tried to hold but Gary takes none of it and boxes his way out. This is definitely Gary's round a classy display of boxing and kicking from the Belfast Boy, the last three rounds were Gary’s best rounds in the fight – there’s the bell and it's down to the judges score cards now.

The MC gets the referee to have the fighters front and centre -
Andddddd the winner is ..Bruceeeee Godronnnnn!!
The winner is Bruceeee Codron!

The Belfast Boy Gary Hamilton lost narrowly on points - had a great last round pushed Codron from pillar to post but it wasn't enough to take the crown. Rest assured after this performance this isn't the last we'll see of Hamilton though as he fought a brilliant fight a bit reckless at times but showed what champions are made off.

Gary needs to settle at the right weight and find his feet there, 66kg is too big for him he really needs to campaign at 62.5 I really don’t think there is a fighter in the world at full-contact who could live with him at that weight!. Said Billy Murray.

Thanks for all are team back home who help prepare Gary and supported him in this quest and to the promoter David and his team and to my friend Carl Emery for all his help and his team for driving all the from Switzerland to support the Belfast Boy.
