Power of Scotland - 29th November 2008
Featured Fighters
The 8 fighters involved in the 8to1 are, from left to right :
- Dzmitry Varats (Grodno, Belarus) - Varats is a late addition to the lineup but is certainly one of the favourites. His convincing win 2 years ago against Damien Trainor made everyone recognise the young teenagers talents. Since then, this tall and skillful fighter has progressed even further and is hungry to claim the POS title!
- Albert Chey (Impacts, France) – Chey is a quick and skilful fighter and a natural bantamweight. Although he has lost to Howsen, Chey will be determined to settle the score in addition to proving he is one of the finest bantamweights around, even if it means going through his stable mate Ocania!
- Graeme Ness (Fighting Fit, Scotland) – After coming off a disappointing performance against Dean James at the end of 2007, Ness is focused on getting back to winning ways and have a shot at some of the best bantamweights around.
- Andy Howsen (Bad Company, England) – Having claimed wins over almost half of the fighters in the tournament, Howsen enters as a strong favourite with a reputation for enjoying a scrap, which the crowd are certain to enjoy!
- Sebastian Ocania (Impacts, France) – After what can only be described as a demolition of the tough Scottish fighter Robert Weir on POS1 to win his ISKA European title, Ocania’s return to the POS stage is sure to please the Scots who loved his relentless attacking style! Although among the smallest of the 8 fighters, Ocania has the experience and skills to cause any of the fighter's problems.
- John Dick (GTBA, Scotland) – Scotland’s Featherweight champion will be making his debut at 55kg and with a reputation as a tough and durable opponent, he will be a difficult fight for anyone in the 8to1! Coming off some great performances in 2007 Dick is keen for the opportunity to prove his worth against some of the best bantamweights out there!
- Willium Murphy (Siam Warriors, Ireland) - Fresh from lifting the Irish Featherweight title, Murphy comes into this tournament as an unknown quantity for many. A naturally bigger fighter than most in the tournament, Murphy brings to the table a solid Thai style combined with toughness and durability, ideal for a good run in the 8to1 tournament.
- Dean James (Pra Cha Suua, England) – Making a return to the POS stage, Dean James will receive a warm welcome from all of the Scottish fans that remember his awesome technical display at POS2! This up and coming fighter may be among the least experienced in the tournament, but he certainly has the skills to take this title!
In addition to this amazing tournament, POS4 will feature a host of cracking support fights!
