Gary Hamilton Vs Patrick Kinigamazi Video action

Highlight video action from the WKN world Full-Contact title between Gary Hamilton (Belfast) and Patrick Kinigamazi ( Rwanda/ Switzerland) Hamilton won his world kickboxing belt in December 2002 in France by stopping the then champion Pastar Pascal in 5 rounds. But tragedy struck this weekend in Geneva at the weigh in as the 28 year old took 3 attempts to make the weight. The fight was very a much a seesaw battle with Hamilton starting the stronger of the two, by the third round however fatigue set into Hamilton due to him battling against the scales. Kinigamazi took this opportunity to stretch a lead in the fight and hurt Hamilton on many occasions with his work rate. The Rwandan exile was growing in confidence by the round and by the 6th was a clear leader and looked as if he was going to stop Hamilton after a salvo of punches that rocked the Belfast Boy to his boots. Hamilton showed true grit that took him to three defences of his featherweight crown and clawed back in the 9th, 10th and 11th rounds. Into the final round and it was much of the same, Kinigamazi on a kamikaze mission forced the last round with non stop action. It went down to the judges but the feeling around ringside was that the Belfast king of kickboxing was no more. It was a unanimous decision in favour of the new WKN featherweight world champion Patrick Kinigamazi.
