May Armageddon

You know the name, now buy the ticket!

MTO Promotions in association with Keddles Gym will hold the second in the
series of Armageddon shows at York Hall in London on Sunday 16th May. Last
year's August Armageddon was regarded by many as the muaythai show of the
year which featured 5 international bouts. York Hall is proving to be the
well known venue for muaythai in London having also hosted Bill Judd's more
recent top Thunder&Lightning Shows.

May Armaggedon promises to take the quality of fights a stage further
featuring 6 top international bouts.

In the main event of the evening British number one Kieran Keddle will face
Canadian number one Trevor Smandych. Smandych is an accomplished fighter
being the current World Muaythai Council Intercontinental Champion. He has
beaten several Thai's under full thai rules and has also beaten the
extremely experieced Kurt Finlayson of Australia who has over 60 fights to
his name.

Erin Linley will fight for the first time in Western Europe. Linley is a big
name on the women's muaythai fight circuit being a double world champion
with both the WMC and the WIKBA. Linley won her WMC title the hard way -
beating Siriporn of Thailand in her homeland to take the title!
World Champion she isn't, but double world champion in her corner she will
have; Nicola Fearnley of Bad Company Leeds will take a step up to face Erin
Linley but Houghton-Smith is backing her all the way. Lisa Houghton-Smith
commented "I took a big step up on only my sixth fight to fight Kim Messer
on short notice and I'm confident Nicola can step up as well. We are coming
prepared for Linley and we have a game plan." Fearnley, who is now on a deserved roll, goes into the bout following her recent British title success in Warrington.

The ever exciting Commonwealth Champion Michael Showers of Croydon will face a tough test against Martin Hogan of Ireland in a WMTO European Championship bout. Hogan is an accomplished fighter having fought here two years ago beating now British number one Richard Cadden and many years ago having fought a very young Kieran Keddle.

Sak "The Slayer" Nayagam will face Hogan's compatriot Seamus Cogan. Cogan is a tough and highly technical fighter. He previously lost a very close, and some said controversial, points decision to Warren Brown. Cogan also fought on last years K-1 Max UK tournament losing on points to Tim Thomas having taken the fight on only a couple of days notice. Both Cogan and Hogan hail from the same gym orginally as Ireland's most successful ever Thai fighter Craig O'Flynn.

Trisha McKeary will make a welcome return to London against Rayelene Kellock of Canada. McKeary fought in London last year beating Rebecca Donnelly to take a British title.

The other confirmed international bout will see Scott Clark of Canada face
Daniel Paora of KO Gym.

All of the Canadian fighters on the bill are from Mike Miles' National
Kickboxing Gym in Calgary. Mike Miles is a leading figure in Canadian
muaythai, promoting Canada's biggest shows with attendances of up to 3,000
people and also the WMC representative for Canada.

The undercard features a host of exciting domestic matches. Richard Fenwick
of Keddles Gym, fresh from his win against Mark Lee of Bad Company will be
oput for revenge against Richard Jones. These two met previously a couple of years ago with the little known Jones suprisingly the local crowd to beat Fenwick. Since then Jones has gone on to be something of a KO specialist famed for his heavy punching style. Fenwick has gone from strength to strength since that fight with some highly technical performances.

WPKL and WMC European Champion Paolo Da Silva of Crawley will go up against
Gavin Bradley of the famous K-Star academy. Both fighters are fast on their
feet with an exciting toe to toe boxing style. This will be a hard fast paced bout that could go either way.
