Scott Dixon Promotions arranged a spectacular fight night at the night club Tigullio at Spinola Bay, St Julians, Malta.
The promoter can be satisfied with a full house watching 9 boxing fights of high quality.
Claire Caintar is a girl who will reach the top European level in a year. She met the Italian boxer Marilena Andonico and won her fight in super bantamweight on an unanimous decision (UD).
Theon Camilleri won an UD vs Peter Adam in a clean nice fight. Sean Turner manage to win over the local Mike Carter on a split decision, SD, in heavyweight.
Returning in the ring after seven years brake did Darren Mairs in a spectacular victory against the Italian Francesco Saladino. Darren started with full speed in the first round. After 2:42 minutes in the first round it´s finished, TKO win for Mairs.
From Dixon´s Boxing Club showed Steve Cooke that he has learned to box from a master. KO over David Cross in round 2 at 1:09 minutes.
Duncan Calleja had an unconvential boxing style from Alex Edwards to manage. Edwards holding the main time was closed for warnings and disqualifying. The ref did a good job and tried to let the fight flew. No easy job, and as a very clear winner was after the 8 rounds the Maltese promising boxer Duncan Calleja.
Luke Frost opened his fight vs Christian Schembri very wild and quickly. Frost had not travelled from UK to come and loose in Malta. A very active boxer going on the whole time. In the second round showed Christian Schembri how a hard working boxer do it. The body shuts was too much for Frost, who lost in the round 2 at 2:37 minutes. Schembri is a very promising boxer, with heart for boxing and well-trained with a good condition. A name to rember!
A brake was necessary as the boxer Seeden from UK was too overexcited and he
collapsed in the ring waiting of the walk-in of his opponent. The hero of the night was Dr Mark Xuereb, who was in the audience wathcing the fight night. This doctor do love boxing and he saw Seeden falling in the ring, he came and assisted the ring-doctor and nurse. Seeden got oxygene and got transported with the ambulance to the hospital. In the mean-time he is doing well. The last fights had to wait to start until the ambulance has returned.
The best fight of the night was for sure the battle between Kerstin Brown vs Lee Clayton. This fight was a real top-fight! Kerstin Brown, The Bullet, is a quick boxer and put his shuts more preciously as Lee managed to do. It was a very close fight, even if Kerstin won an UD. Lee did a fantastic fight and we can be sure he wants a rematch. These two fighters is it a real pleasure to watch. Hopefully Lee will return to Malta to fight again. Brown is looking for an international career and wants to fight abroad, in Italy, Germany or anywhere and against anyone.
The main fight with Scott Dixon was even a brillaint fight. Misic was not here to loose and tried to make it as difficult as possible for Dixon.
In the 5th round was it time for Super´s hard body-shuts. Three times did Scott knock-down Misic and the last knock-down was far too much for the Croatian boxer. Scott Dixon is after this KO-victory the Champion in light heavyweight of WBU.
Congratulations Scott for a great fight, for a succesful event.
Boxing is in Malta a popular sport and growing more and more. The Gatsby Boxing event was sanctioned of the only Maltese sanction body, Malta Boxing Association, MBA, a member of EBU.
