Interval with a few words from Jumping Joe Lyndsay about the humble beginnings of what has become the cornerstone of kickboxing in Europe. The audience was treated to some highlights from Billy Murrays own first pro World title fight...excellent to see where it all began for Murray and ProKick.

Joe called for a plaque in the city in honour of Billy Murray and we'd love to see that. We hope ProKick and Murray never stop...

MCALEER Vs BASRIR  5x2 min rounds


Round 1

The roof is just about in place...McAleer has a massive following here. The pressure is ON and the bell has sounded.

Both are totally in the zone and start off with a real fast and furious battle to KO each other. Its followed by a short sizing-up and they're back into each other again. The bell sounds and they're both still standing. Non-stop action here.

Round 2

Furious attacks again on both sides. Lots of head-kicks from Basrir and a generous helping of body punches from McAleer. The crowd throw up a chant for McAleeer...so loud the fight might be stopped becasue of noise pollution.

Round 3

Spinning back-fists from Basrir then a stint against the ropes for her for troubles from McAleer. McAleer is a legand, she just keeps popping those punches and her opponent is starting to show signs of wear and tear.

Round 4

Attacking in unison everytime and holding nothing back, its punch for punch and the knees are busy...thats gotta hurt. Amazing that its still going...

FIFTH AND FINAL ROUND
You can tell now when Basrir is gonna kick to the head - a smile comes first and there's a lot of them.
