On the same night as the Attitude Adjustment Boxing Promotion, City Kickboxing were having a Thai Boxing Novice/Amateur show right at their Upper Queen Street Gym. I went back and forth between two, and managed to get shots from four of the City Kickboxing fights before heading back to the ABA for the main event for their night. After that, I finished by shooting the last fight at the City Kickboxing Promotion. More highlight photographs after the jump.

North Shore and City Lee Gar – Crank’s Bar, Albany – February 27th

Andy Conlan — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:15:02 +0000

It was a blisteringly hot on February 27th, despite being allegedly the second to last day of Summer, adding to the heat inside Crank’s Bar in Albany, north of Auckland.

With all doors and windows of the venue open, the bar’s darkened interior, along with the absence of a ring, only added to the atmosphere of the fights.

There were fifteen novice and amateur fights overall, and despite an engagement back in Auckland City to cover the the MMA (above), I faced the two-way gridlock on the Auckland Harbour Bridge to at least get this fast-paced fight. The novice fights are supposed to be “friendly” matches, during which fighters aren’t supposed to be trying to knock each other out, but the pace and ferocity of these two caused promoter, head coach and, on the day, ring announcer, to give at least one of them a stern warning. It’s the first time I’ve heard fighters being told off by the ring announcer. More pictures after the jump …

Philip Lam Lee Gar’s Steve Hahm and ETK’s Sefa Fue pose at the weigh-in for their title fight rematch on Saturday night, February 20th at the YMCA, Auckland. Their fight is just one of the top ranked fights on the card for the Philip Lam Lee Gar event. Some of the top fighters from Philip Lam Lee Gar are up against fighters from around New Zealand and Eastern Europe.
The main event fights are Russian ex-patriot and World Muay Thai Champion, Jan Atomic Antolik vs. Estonia’s Henri Lebedenev and New Zealand Muay Thai Champion Slava Alexeichik vs. Slovakia’s Erik Kosztanko. Both visiting fighters have come from a training camp in Thailand, not a European Winter, so our heat and humidity won’t be as harsh for them as it might have if they’d been used to several months of snow and crisp Winter air.

Other featured fights are the abovementioned Steve Hahm vs. triple World Muay Thai Champion, Sefa Silent One Fue; Daniel Tai vs. Sio Smooth Vitale; Harley Love vs. Joel Naiden and Joe Hopkins vs. Ben Sisam for the New Zealand Title. There are also two other undercard amateur fights scheduled for the event.
