Jesse Miles - Contender Asia 2
After spending two months training hard for the Contender Asia 2 in Thailand, Jesse Miles will be home in Calgary on the 24th of October. The show has been postponed several times in the last few months for many reasons. First among them is the scheduled start of the show in September, which is the holiest of Muslim months on the calendar.
Wildfires and smog in Indonesia have also contributed to delaying the filming. With the WMC and IFMA now concentrating their efforts on the IFMA World Championships in November, the show has been put on hold once again. December equals Christmas, and no one wants to film at that time. The word out of Malaysia now is January and most likely mid to late January.
The postponements have seen several athletes drop from the show. Word is that Duane Ludwig has pulled from the show, and Kit Cope is not sure. South African Bakhulule Baai just fought in Canada in mid October, and had his forearm broken with a kick. He subsequently received a mandatory 90 day suspension by the commission.

Peter Arbeau
(Calgary CAN :: Miles)
Takashi Goto
(JPN)
WIN Peter Arbeau
Unanimous Decision
A great fight, possibly the best of the evening, that had the audience raising the roof of the building cheering. Peter Arbeau raised the bar in regards to his performance on this bout. Takashi Goto came to fight, and for the first round smiled almost jokingly at Arbeau's attacks. But during the fight, Arbeau landed roundhouse kick after roundhouse kick to the body with a stunning work rate. Goto also seemed to have problems dealing with Arbeau's punching combinations as he took a lot of uppercuts and body shots. Arbeau dumped Goto on his trunks with several well placed tiip's during the battle as well. Goto never let up on his work rate, but he just could not catch Arbeau with any telling blows. Arbeau's footwork and evasion has improved substantially in his last two bouts. Exciting match with Arbeau adding a title belt around his waist by unanimous decision. Arbeau now prepares for the 2009 IFMA World Championships in Bangkok at the end of November.

WIN Chihar Werasakreck
Majority Decision
This was also a bout between Canada and Japan, and featured an IKF Intercontinental Title Belt on the line. Calgary's Alana Dunbrack squared off with Japan's Chihar Werasakreck. Dunbrack just could not seem to catch her opponent and in the clinch was having problems nullifying Chihar's tactics. Chihar would make the Canadian miss and then counter with good scoring roundhouse kicks. Chihar was to walk away with the title in a majority decision.

Andreas Kaczmarczyk
(DEU)
WIN Sean McKinnon
4th Round TKO
This was a good fight. Sean McKinnon squared off against German athlete Andreas Kaczmarczyk. The German would just keep pressing and moving forward throwing punch after kick after punch. But he did not seem to carry a lot of power. McKinnon looked good in the fight, landing and dropping the German with multiple roundhouse kicks to the neck. But to Kaczmarczyk's credit, he would get up and keep fighting. McKinnon kept to his battle plan and eventually stopped the German by a TKO late in the 4th round with a head kick.

Hanako Kobayashi
(JPN)
WIN Sandra Bastian
3rd Round TKO
Sandra Bastian looked good in this fight. Calm, composed, and in shape. The Canadian was to rely on the clinch and elbow work in this fight to dominate the bout. The clinch had Kobayashi out of her element. However, the shorter Japanese girl landed a huge right hand in the second round which had Bastian back peddling. A few more landed and had Bastian almost glue her left arm to her head to avoid any further right hands. In the third round a huge knee attack from Bastian to the body and head convinced the referee that for the safety of Kobayashi, it was time to stop the fight. Bastian won by TKO.

Chikako Werasakreck
(JPN)
WIN Misty Sutherland
Unanimous Decision
Coming off two hurdles, the first not being in the ring for over half a year, and the second having just returned from her honeymoon, Misty Sutherland fought well. Her opponent Chikako Wersakreck started the fight off slowly. As both athletes probed at each other, it soon became apparent that Chikako just could not connect with the Canadian with any serious result. Sutherland was to go the distance and win the bout by unanimous decision.

Derek Boyde
(Ottawa CAN :: Cooligan)
WIN Hakeem Dawodu
Unanimous Decision
This was a huge war that really excited the spectators. Technically not great on the part of Dawodu, but the bout was a huge swinging war. Dawodu was to take the first two rounds, but faded substantially in the third due to fatique. Boyde kept a really nice style in this encounter, but was surprised by the angles that Dawodu would deliver his punches from. Dawodu was to take the fight by unanimous decision.

WIN Dwain Soon
1st Round TKO
Dwain Soon took this bout on short notice as the scheduled athlete, Tyler Twerdun had a medical issue arise which prevented him from fighting. Soon has just come back from Thailand and looked ready to rumble. Rinze Waldema just could not get his bearings and before he could get off the starter block the bout was over.

(Ottawa CAN :: Cooligan)
WIN Ari Markle
3rd Round TKO
Very good match with two up and coming athletes. Ari Markle battled Corey Sheikh and for the first round and a half the match was very competitive with clean and tight techniques delivered by each athlete. Markle was to really pick up the pace in the third, and through constant pressure was to win the bout by a third round TKO. Sheikh is impressive as well.
