Junior Fighting - Premier Event
Saturday, October 23, 2004
Rexplex Sports Complex, Elizabeth, NJ

Congratulations To All Of Our Junior Fighters!
Congratulations to all of the courageous fighters who competed in the premiere event of Junior Fighters on Saturday night at Rex Plex in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Participating were representatives of Derek Riddick's Gym, Borodin's Gym, Eternal Martial Arts, Family Martial Arts and Team Tiger Schulmann.
 

All of these junior fighters displayed great courage, talent and determination, making
this first event, a great night of excitement and fun. The younger fighters' exhibition bouts (for those under age 12) were just terrific. Their focus and spirit, kept everyone captivated throughout the night.
 
 

We especially congratulate the brave fighters who competed in the three (judge) scoring bouts of the night. Dimash Nyazov (of Borodin's Gym) fought well against John Kimock (Team Tiger Schulmann). John landed good punches and Dimash threw great kicks. Both fighters were aggressive and fought hard throughout the three round bout. Dimash was declared the winner by unanimous judges decision.
 
 
Daniel Lorentz (Team Tiger Schulmann) was fast and hard hitting against Michael Fedderman (Borodin's Gym). Michael kicked well and drove in good knee kicks at close range. However, Daniel's speed and accuracy prevailed, landing a number of high scoring shots and winning the bout.  
 
 

The final (judges) scoring match between Mike Fortes (Team Tiger Schulmann) and Uri Yarmush (Family Martial Arts) was pure excitement.  Both demonstrated great talent and drive, giving the fans an action packed bout. Uri's kicks were extremely good and Mike's punches were extremely hard. Although Mike kept pouring it on, Uri landed effective well scoring hits, winning the fight.
 
 
We are proud of all of the Junior Fighters who competed so well at this premier event. We thank them for providing such an exciting and fun night of competition, and we thank all of the fans for coming out to support these great kids. All of the competitors left this event as true winners. Be sure to be on the look out for our next Junior Fighters event.
