Mark Baird Vs Colin O’Leary weigh-in - IMAGE
Another fantastic kickboxing show at the Hilton hotel in Belfast took place last night as over 20 ProKick fighters stepped into the ring to face opponents from all over Ireland. The bulk of the fight card was filled up with ProKick's first time fighters and although not everyone walked away with the win they so desperately wanted, the fight fans were not disappointed as each and every fighter gave it everything they had. A massive well done to all who fought on the show.
Face off as Mark Baird (ProKick NI) got ready to take on Colin O’Leary (Wolfpack Kickboxing Athlone)
Débutante Mark Baird faced his more experienced opponent Colin O'Leary from Wolfpack and on top of that gave nearly 3kg away in weight. A big ask for a first time fighter. Saying that, the Belfast fighter and the Athlone fighter came out swinging with good kick and punch combinations landing on target. The first round looked like O'Leary just shaded it but in the second round, Mark pushed forward and maybe nipped the round on a very evenly matched bout. It was all on the last round and the young ProKick fighter looked like he was running out of steam with the more experienced O'Leary using his knowedge to land good shots. After the judges totted up the score, they could only se it one way, in favour of O'Leary. Well done both boys.
