Malvern Town Hall Delivers
11th Nov 2011
By Young Victor
Promoter and TV host of ch31's KO Boxing Peter
Maniatis provided an exciting night at Malvern that kept the fans on
their feet with great fights and the appearance of legend Joe Bugner
whom fought with Muhammad Ali three times and Joe Frazier.
The well known around the boxing game Brian
Young that sang the National Anthem in an exceptional way the fans
enjoyed immensely.
MC Howard Leigh announced the passing away of
Joe Frazier and former Commonwealth champion Graeme Brooke's father
also once a fighter Graeme Douglas.
Timer Damian Membrey rang the bell 10 count in
remembrance.
Manny Vlamis wins PABA Light
heavyweight title by tko in 10th.
PABA Light heavyweight champion Joel Casey gets
stopped by an upcoming blaster puncher Manny Vlamis now entitled
to a World rating.
The fight was started in a very low pace
throughout the 1st round with the exception of Vlamis throwing Casey
down to the canvas in wrestling manner and was reprimanded by the
referee Malcolm Bulmer.
The 2nd round got paced up with Casey scoring
better.
In the 3rd Vlamis made a huge effort to ko his
opponent with a large quantity of left and right hooks loaded with
power but Casey's defense was impeccable still scoring the better of
the two.
The 4th showed a faster pace with Vlamis making
the fight but Casey a southpaw with nice rights and lefts and huge
body punches. The 5th round was fairly similar.
In the next two rounds Vlamis started fighting
better and within range and closer fighting started taking place
which suited him better.
The 8th. stanza found Casey returning to
keeping his opponent at a distance and scored better again without
any ferocity.
Well into the 9th Vlamis found Casey allowing
close fighting where Casey came second best and was showing the wear
this was having on him as Vlamis kept handing out the punishment which sent
Casey unsteady to his corner.
The 10th started and went on quite savagely until
an explosive left and right hooks put Casey down for a count, he remained
unsteady while
Vlamis kept hammering.
Dr Lewis was already up on the ring apron when
Malcolm Bulner made the decision to stop the fight, 2min 20 sec into
the round.
Malcolm is Australia's most experienced referee
and he is best equipped with the closest view of the fight.
Michael Zerafa takes Victorian Light Middleweight
title
Good boxing skills by Michael Zerafa helped him
outpoint Faisal Fayad and got him the Victorian title.
Fayad which had difficulty getting into close
quarters where he could have succeed in upsetting the new champion.
Fayad with less reach maintained his attacks to
the upper region when he would have had better results going for the
body as he lacked the reach he needed for the rangier Zerafa.
The 2nd round was an exciting round and Fayad
scored well.
In the 3rd round Fayad was remanded for a low
blow as Zerafa was indicating and given a couple of minutes rest to
recover. This was very difficult to see as it happened very quickly
and seemed doubtful.
Zerafa changed to distance fighting and danced
around while outboxing Fayad.
Round 6 saw both fighters battling in close
quarters.
Round 7 was a great round as both fighters
scored well.
The 8th was disappointing as Zerafa well in
front on points just boxed at a great distance and ensured he stayed
out of trouble by the harder punching Fayad.
Michael Zerafa showed he is a very promising
boxer with a lot of talent and seems set for much higher places in
good time.
Faisal Fayad fought an honest fight and he too
showed he has a good career ahead, he does need to switch to body
lead attacks when fighting taller opponents especially when leads to
the upper region fall short.

YVB's Green vs Tarver
World Cruiserweight title fight
by Young Victor
Antonio Tarver dominated Danny Green in all but
the 7th. round due to his being outreached by a rangier opponent.
Tarver fought in a relaxed manner which allowed
him to snap power punches perfectly right on the moment his punches
landed.
He was also allowed by Green to fight from the distance which suited
him to a tee as he had a huge 6 cm advantage in reach.
Despite Green choosing to be the counter puncher, the American
waited for Danny to take the lead and at the very moment Green was
in the position of attacking he got outpaced with a very long left
hook which reached Danny to the head and being a southpaw this was
Tarver's power punch, this had a huge toll on Greens condition.
Danny Green in his usual powerful stance rather a disadvantage as it
accordingly slows his blows, kept using this tactic until mid rounds
when advised to close in on Tarver which produced a great result for
at least one round.
Danny Green chose the wrong way to fight Antonio Tarver, he
outfought Tarver at close quarters and should have done it
throughout the fight.
Antonio Tarver a true great in boxing is a perfectly balanced
fighter and uses his amazing skills in punch throwing from all
angles.

HUGE UPSETS AT MALVERN
BOB ROSE CUP at Malvern Town Hall 8th. July 2011
Victorian Light Middleweight Title
8 rounds.
By Young Victor.
The main event was amazingly entertaining with its outstanding out
of the norm fight.
A very capable Kashif Mumtaz took to teasing his
tough opponent Manny Vlamis turning the fight into a quarrel with
the referee included.
Vlamis a very hard punching fighter attempted
to take the fight to his opponent but made the mistake of pushing
Mumtaz away into the ropes when closely tangled sometimes falling
over one another.
This played heavily on Mumtaz's temper and had
no effect on settling the fighters to the rules of boxing.
Mumtaz down 3rd round with a bolo punch and
complains about it delivered in the back of head, and so it was.
In the first minute of the 4th. round
both fighters repeatedly tangled, pushed, held and delivered punches
wherever the opportunity was.
Just after the first minute of this round
Vlamis had Mumtaz bent over the ropes and delivered punches from all
angles.
Vlamis with unethical punching caused Mumtaz to
lose all interest in the fight and caused both fighters to get to
lose a point each due to this unusual style of fighting, holding and
blows in the back of the head.
At this time Mumtaz got hit heavily and
deliberately went down on both knees with his left arm behind his
back, he stayed down and waved the ref that he didn't want to
continue which brought the fight to an end.
Despite all this the crowd loudly applauded the
match as they loved the entertainment.
Amazingly the ring got filled up with bodies
and officials which were asking to allow the fight to continue, of
course this would have been illegal, they were calmed and turned to
rock and roll music by Stan Thorpe the cousin of the famous singer,
Australia's Billy Thorpe.
This entitled Manny Vlamis to acquire the
Victorian Light Middleweight Title.
Pradeep Singh vs Amir Ranjdar 8
rounds
Pradeep Singh a former PABA and OPBF champion
out-boxed Randjar overall but Randjar from Iran showed he has the
goods but not the experience needed to beat Singh, however the
standard was clean with good boxing displayed.
The third round found Ranjar weakening and
Pradeep well on top, the fight was stopped 52 seconds from start of
this round and both fighters were applauded.
Callan Orchard vs Dinesh Kanth 4 rounds
Callan a favourite amongst Melbourne fight fans
with huge expectations experienced his first time and unexpected KO
loss.
Callan learned how important defense is when
climbing the ladder that takes him to professional
championship level.
In the first round Callan got knocked down for
a count after he had Dinesh also down for a count and looking very
fragile.
Callan from then on himself looked wobbly and
in a very dangerous state as Dinesh didn't waste any time to attack
and KO'd his opponent within 1 minute 44 sec into the first round.
Terry Tzouramanis vs Chad Roy Naidu
6 rounds
Terry "pretty boy" outpointed Chad in an
interesting fight but Terry's harder punching gave him the advantage
and he won 4 out of the six rounds to get the pat.
Chad did a good job but was a step behind and
needed to pace up further to get a better result.
Paul Bourke vs Joe D'Angelo 6 rouds
Joe D'Angelo looked huge in by comparison to
Paul Bourke and overpowered him by size and strength which made it
seem like a huge mismatch and so it turned out to be.
In the first round D'Angelo knocked Paul down
for a count of 8 but got up to fight again but again was sent to the
canvas and got up very wiggly and the ref Wayne Ashdown seemed very
late in stopping the fight.
Jean Claude vs Michael Zerafa 4
rounds.
Michael Zerafa came out like a tornado, Jean
Claude only "looked" overpowered when the fight was prematurely
stopped by the ref Matt Ropis 45 seconds into the first round.
There was no technical reason for the fight to
be stopped other then Zerafa's shower of punches which Claude only
"seemed" to be having difficulty coping with, he was not hurt and
would easily have gone on with the fight if the ref didn't stop it
when he did.
Speaking with a very upset Claude afterwards in
the change rooms indicated that he was giving up the game because of
what took place in the ring.
Hopefully he will change his mind and continue
in the game as he is a very handy scrapper.
Robert Monitto vs Drew Mackey 4 rounds.
Monitto came out for the first round like an
overpowered windmill and quickly disposed of his clean looking
Mackey.
Monitto has fought for the Victorian title
three times.
Mackey was having his first pro fight and
looked like a nice clean boxer and wasn't given the chance to get
started in the normal manner all debut fighters deserve.

Australian Fight Series
10th. Apr.
GRAND STAR RECEPTIONS
By Adam Wilcok:
The first round of fights saw four action
packed bouts, all finishing inside the distance. In this second
round, two tough queenslanders Jason Kanofski and Brad Hemming face
off, Victorian Faisal Fayad faces South Australian Mark Dalby, the
excitement machines Todd Kidd faces tough Alex Ahtong. The Tim Hunt
vs Rivan Cessaire encounter has had people talking since the draw.
Both technically very good boxers and on the way up, with similar
styles, should be a cracker.
Australian Title Fight
Brooklyn’s Diana Prazak takes on Malin Morgan
from Queensland for the Australian Super-lightweight title.
Contrasting in styles, this should make for a classic fight as the
small and powerful “Dirty Di” looks to fing a way past the taller
and bigger Morgan.
Popular Victorians Mark Quon, Matt Lytwnenko and Ashley McDermott
are all in action.
Eight very even bouts where the most prepared boxer wins.
Ringside table seats (inc 2 course meal and drinks) - $140 p/p

Fights at Malvern Town Hall
1st April 2011
Blake Caparello has in his last fight defeated
a very talented Michael Bolling and is a fast rising star and one of
the best prospects in Australian boxing, he has also defeated a
shining upcoming star Shane McConville.
Blake will meet Toagasilimai Letoa Samoan
Lightheavyweight champion and a good fight is expected.
The semi main event between former Australian champion Eddie Delic
and Harry Venka a PABA title eliminator should be a good fight,
Delic likes to brawl and Venka is a skilful boxer which should even
the match.
Also contender star Pradeep Singh on the card along with Heath Ellis
who is fighting former Indonesian champion Jonathon Sinamora.
There are big wraps on undefeated light heavyweight Callan Orchard
another Victorian rising star who is only 20 years old takes on
Dickey Pereira a former New Zealand amateur star.
Peter Maniatis is the promoter and he rates this a top card of
boxing with well matched fights.
