As expected, we will begin with the fight everyone wants to know about, the quest for yet another IKF Amateur World title. Top contender Adam McDermid has looked better inside the squared circle before. He even admitted it himself. However, fighting in front of his hometown for the first time and a big time title on the line brought even more pressure on the 26 year old fighter from Mountain Iron, Minnesota USA. Still, even an Adam at 70% is better than many at 100%. So was the case tonight for him against challenger Daniel Brison of Hurricane, West Virginia USA. Brison had some moments, but tonights story was all McDermid. A quick look at the kick count through 5 rounds and you can see where this one went. McDermid threw a total of 83 kicks over the 5 rounds to Brison's 31 winning all 5 rounds in the kick tally, 19-6, 13-6, 16-8, 22-7 and 13-4. In the end, McDermid had won all but 1 round on every judges scorecard in rout to a unanimous decision victory, 50-43, 50-43 and 49-44.

Making the night worse for Brison was when he lost 2 points in the final round from World Class Referee Dan Stell. One for missing the mandatory 6 kicks per round (4) and the other for failing to keep his mouthpiece in which had come out for the 5th time. Brison had some furry moments in round 2 where he looked like he was going to pick it up against McDermid but just could not keep up the pace he needed to. Whether it be a little fatigue from the flight from West Virginia or just not being fully prepared for McDermid's kick attack, tonight just wasn't Brison's night. In the end, we all have a new IKF World Champion as Adam McDermid takes home the IKF Gold in winning the vacant IKF Amateur FCR Cruiserweight World title. Congratulations Adam!
