The Main Event was Awesome! Jorden Allen of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada (13-8-1 & 2 KOs, 132, 5'5", 6/17/87, Mitz Bandiera) went toe to toe with Dee Jay Jones of New Brighton, Minnesota, USA (17-8 & 2 KOs, 132, 5'6", 8/20/81)
In this fight Jones threw good punching combinations but Allen was by far the better kicker. Allen pushed Jones around the ring controlling his movement well. The fight was very close but Allen took the edge with his front leg kicks picking Jones, as Jones struggled to kick above the waist being warned several times for low kicks.
The bout was very exciting and filled with plenty of exciting kicks and punches that went non stop for the full 5 rounds. Both fighters hit each other with solid kicks followed by lightning punches. It was clear to everyone that although both fighters wanted to take home the IKF Gold, Jorden Allen was the one who came far more prepared to take home the title.
Throughout all 5 rounds Allen delivered lots of heavy body shots that landed at will in every round. In the final round Jorden dropped Dee Jay Jones with a straight right hand to the stomach. Although he beat the count, the fact that Jones was given a standing 8 count simply added to the damage. Dee Jay fought great but in the end, the real damage was already done.
Jorden Allen came, he saw, he conquered. In the end Allen was victorious, tipping the balance in the ongoing competition between the two. Both fighters are true warriors but on this night, Jorden Allen took home the title of IKF Amateur North American Lightweight Champion. Congratulations to both fighters for Showing the people the art of KICKBOXING.
WINNER: Jorden Allen by Unanimous Decision, 48-47, 48-47, 48-47.
REFEREE: Ralph Lee.
JUDGES: Jessica Sullivan, Rick Anderson, Brian Campbell.
