Stuart Jess Vs Bruno Torres - Image
It was a Christmas Cracker for the 'Next Generation' kickboxing event at the Holiday Inn in Belfast. Two Big titles and a ton of talent from all over the country was on display.
WKN Super Welterweight Aamateur European full-Contact title - 5x2 minute round
Stuart Jess (NI) Champion Vs Bruno Torres Winner 3rd round ko (Portugal)
Stuart Jess’ hopes of world title glory were halted last week when his rival Jose Oliviera broke his ankle prior to their bout. A stand in was found at the last minute as team mate Bruno Torres, a Portuguese champion agreed to challenge Jess for his European title. Jess fought strong in the first round matching up to the Portuguese fighter Torres but was caught in the second round with an accumulation of punches and took a standing count. He pulled though and made it to the third round but was unlucky to be sent to the canvas after a shuddering hook to the head.
The Benifica based fighter Torres was delighted to say the least after winning a European title with only 48 hours notice. It was a bittersweet end to a perfect day for the home fight fans.
