MAAction.com Launch - Sarwar Hamid vs Eric Daley

The 21st May 2011 was the launch show for new paysite MAAcion.com. You can catch all of the fights on their site for a fee; but I for one won't be paying it anytime soon so will make do with showing you this teaser video from youtube. This features some highlights of the headline fight; in which Sarwar Hamid defeated Eric Daley by unanimous decision to become the top ranked IKF super-lightweight (137lbs) amateur fighter in Britain. A great variety of kicks demonstrated by Sarwar; who I have had the pleasure if training with; if you only watch one video from this blog I would love it if it was this one; Sarwar is a brilliant young talent and is destined for great things.
Highlights begin about 0.30


The following writeup is taken from www.kicks.org.uk, where Hamid trains.

In the evening Sarwar Hamid showed his continuing improvement as he beat Eric Daley in a unanimous decision with all judges scoring him as winning every round. Eric Daley is 5 Nations Champion and Sarwar Hamid is Ranked No 1 in his weight division in Britain. The fight was action all the way and credit should be given to both fighters. The first round was fairly even between the two. The second round saw both parties taking a fair amount of shots and strong body and head shots going in, but the round was finished strongly by Sarwar hitting Eric with a left hook followed by a jumping spinning round kick to the head. Sarwar was now told by his corner to start working his legs and combinations, and to keep the fight at longer range. The third round saw him countering a kick from Eric with an accurate cross and push Kick into Daley’s face which knocked him back. The fourth and fifth round saw Sarwar stalking his opponent and continuing to knock him back with powerful push kicks and strong shots.An exciting win for Sarwar which is worth the re-match which is now being arranged in Ireland for the Vacant IKF Amateur European Title.

Peace & Love
KiaA.
