Semi-Pro Rules MMA
Thomas Egan (SBG) v Jason Muldoon (PCC) MW
It's my understanding that this is Tom's first fight, but he's been training with John Kavanagh pretty regularly for the last while. I fought him in a SW tournament so I know from first hand experience he's capable on the ground. I can only speculate at his stand up. I think he's giving away quite a bit of experience to Muldoon but I'm going to give it to him cause I like him
Verdict Egan Round2 Submission (armbar)
Connor (SBG) v Ciaran (Antrim MMA) FW
Not sure which Connor this is. Or Which Ciaran this is.
Verdict: Unknown
Karl Roche (SBG) v Stephen Sommerville (3 Castles) HW
Both big men, both very agile and quick with good submissions. Karl has a reach and high advantage but the proportions may make it easy for Sommerville to take it to the ground and be on top. Karl's fought before, successfully, while Sommerville's experience is limited to the league. I think this could be the deciding factor.
Verdict: Roche by decision.
Micky (Donegal MMA) v Paul Cowzer (Shika) FW
I've seen Cowzer, boards.ie boxing extraordinaire fighting in the most resent MMA League and he had a real war standing up. So with the addition of head shots I think he has a very good chance to get the KO. Can't comment on Micky, never seen him fight, so this is a big guess
Verdict: Cowzer TKO Round1
Barry Oglesby v Leigh Stewart (Antrim MMA) WW
Oglesby (roper) another boards.ie vet taking on the very capable Stewart. I've been arm barred and out punched by both of these guys so I think they both have what it takes to win. However, although this is Barry's first fight and Leigh's 2nd, I suspect Barry is the more mature fighter going into the ring in terms of experience.
Verdict: Oglesby, Round2 Submission (RNC)
Gintarius Dominski (Thai/SBG) v Eddy Wallace (Donegal MMA) WW
I'm afraid I can't comment. Gintarius sounds pretty good
Verdict: Gintarius TKO R1
Thai Boxing
Decland Broderick (Chupasart Gym) v Philip Bourne 64kgs
?
Pro Rules MMA
Neil Seery (Shika) v Steve McCombe (PCC) BW
Seery has a fair few fights under his belt and his performances have been improving with every apperance but I've seen McCombe fight and he looks ultra sharp.
Verdict: McCombe Submission R2
Pearse Stokes (Fianna) v Kevin McAlonan (PCC) FW
Possibly fight of the night. I've never seen Pearse fight but I've only heard good things. But I've seen McAlonan fight and he's very very good. I think this could be a cracker. I think McAlonan will take it the opportunity arises on the ground but I don't Pearse will give it up for him on a plate.
Verdict: Stokes Decision
Lukasz Sowa (PL) v (SBG) LHW
Sowa versus mystery opponent number 1.
Shane Thomas (Kokoro) v Jakub Stanoch (PL) LW
I think if Shane takes it to him 100% in the first round and relies on his strong striking credentials he'll take this.
Verdict: ShaneT by KO Round1
Dylan Costigan (3 Castles) v Alan Seery (Shika) LW
Dylan, another slick grappler who has also done the time practising stand up. Seery is in-line for a win but I don't think it will come against Dylan.
Verdict: Costigan by submission (armbar) round1
Thai Boxing
Kevin Douglas (Chupasart Gym) v Naoise o'Hare 72kgs
No comment
Cage Rage Qualifiers
Richie Moore (SBG) v Mark Leonard (PBS) LHW
This is another mouth watering encounter. We've got two men with big mouths and big hearts going at it at LHW. Mark has been in this game along time, he even has the grey hair to prove it. Richie has a lot of worldly martial art experience on his side too. Richie has a lot of good training partners in SBG to help him prepare as does Mark in PBS but Mark has the added inconvenience of running the gym. I think this could be a slug fest and could go either way.
Verdict: Pending
John Donnelly (SBG) v Stephen Lynch (PCC) MW
Ok ok, I know I've used "fight of the night" already but this is another ultra-classy encounter. Donnelly at middle weight is a monster and has all the tools necessary, Muay Thai, BJJ, cardio. But Lynch, as shown in his last encounter up north, is a very, very good boxer and capable of winning by submission. Donnelly hasn't fought in a while, and Lynch has a lot of guile, but with youth and attributes on his side (not to mention skill) I think Donnelly is going to win, but it won' be easy.
Verdict: Donnelly by decision
Owen Roddy (SBG) v Micky Young (PCC) FW
There's not a more active or gamer fighter on the Irish circuit then Micky Young (with the exception of club mate Greg Loughran). He's fought here, up north and across the water. However, the results have been varied but the standard, always high. However, if John Kavanagh is the Irish Helio Gracie, Colm O'Reilly Renzo, Dave Roache Hickson I think that leaves Roddy as Royler (and I suppose Clive as Hoyce). So Roddy, one of the most technical grapplers on the island with proven aptitude in other ranges is one of the most dangerous men at FW.
Verdict: Roddy, 2nd Round, TKO
Owen Dempsey (NG) v Thomas MaGuire (Kerry) LW
Dempsey, already in-line to fight on the Cage card is a gifted competitor. Although, it would be foolish to underestimate the man from Kerry, I think Dempsey is a favourite to win here.
Verdict: Dempsey, submission (triangle) round 30 -
