Nathan Mizon made headlines for Friday night’s Fightzone show at the Tower Hotel, London, entering the fourth game and looking to add a second stop to the match already on his 3-0 ledger. He entered the match against Jakub Laskowski of Poland.
Support were Harry Mullins and Johanna Wonyou, both of whom won with a six-fight card. Louise Orton and Dee Allen both claimed their first win, and well-supported Alfie Winter took to the ring for her second contest, winning her second.
Mizon has consistently impressed during her short professional career, but taking center stage at the top of a broadcast feels a bit premature. Understandably, that was of little concern to Mizon’s army of fans, who used their men from start to finish.
Mizon exhibits rare balance and poise, moving around her man at will and landing hard right into the body in the first few minutes.
Mizon found a lot of cracks in her opponent’s armor, landing on her head and body, but didn’t want to rush in too soon. Patiencely boxing the first round with his back foot, he picked precise shots and created angles to make Laskowski look a bit lost in the early hours. This trend continued into the second half, with the Englishman increasing the heat bit by bit.
He staggered Pole with a left hook as the third part started. A weary Laskowski attempted to execute his own attacks in response but they became increasingly wild and inaccurate, leaving him facing stiff counters, left and right, from Mizon.
The match was fought in good spirits and Laskowski did his best to remedy the problem, but Mizon’s side movement and footwork meant he rarely found the target with any of the shots. meaningful.
In the fifth inning, Mizon made a real dent in his man, but the tough Pole was still there, despite the barrage of sharp shots. The away boxer moved, spoiled and tried to get through the last round – somehow managed to stay alive. Mizon decided 60-54.
In the main support match of the evening, Harry Mullins entered his fourth contest against Stephen Jackson, a man heralded by many British companions as one of the best on the track.
The Curtis-Gargano-trained away boxer looked unbroken as ‘H-Man’ Mullins headed into a big match, followed by a half-British half-Ukrainian flag and accompanied by his coach’s father, Sam Mullins.
There’s not much feeling in the opening stanza but ‘H-Man’ kicks off the opening round with his more precise work. Jackson threw a lot of effective shots to make his own case.
The fight follows a similar vein, with Jackson moving forward, often getting hit by Mullins for a punch, but looking relatively unbroken by his attacks. When Jackson fired the combos, he was able to tie Mullins back to the ropes, where the two were constantly entwined. Three rounds at Mullins tipped our numbers 2-1, all to play in the final round.
After an exhausting third, Mullins bit down on his gum shield in the last stanza and showed his guts, deciding 40-36. Jackson probably deserves a round and Mullins certainly won’t forget to fight him.
French Flyweight champion Johanna Wonyou looks unimpressed as she approaches the ring. She faces Tanzania’s Sarafina Bela, who has a somewhat mixed record, boasting three stoppage-time wins and two injury-time losses with her 4-4-1 CV.
Wonyou lowers her hand, moving in and out of the distance with the icy confidence she steps into the ring. A series of early hooks in the first round left Bela’s leg completely immobile and the referee, Chas Coakley, ordered the proceedings to be halted for an understandable 55 seconds.
Outstanding amateur Louis Orton has been well-supported in her long-awaited professional debut. Her impatience didn’t show, though, and she picked her shots well against a tough opponent to win the opening round of her professional career.
Machela entered the teamfight in the second round with a sideways movement and an accurate count, but Orton overcame some hesitation and returned to the lead in the third round, passing her opponent by some distance. widely. In games four and five, Orton did enough to win, but never fully controlled the skirmish, having several right hands amputated to make the match a useful learning battle.
In the final round, Orton seemed to shake off some of his debut anxiety and find his flow again, unleashing precise injury combos.
Orton won 59-55, leveling our score in the box, with Machela taking the second win.
The Bulgarian in Berlin, Milena Koleva, had the experience advantage when she stepped into the ring in her 24th match, against Dee Allen, who was making his debut. However, it was Allen who seemed more reassured.
A much more impressive physique, the London player confidently goes on the field and looks for difficult shots. However, she was at the wrong end of the first exchange and was knocked down quickly within the first seconds. It took only a few seconds until she put Koleva down to respond and as the Bulgarian struggled to get her legs back, Chas Coakley waved. It was a stormy debut, but Allen will no doubt be looking for a more sober performance the second time around. Time stops after just one minute 20 seconds.
Russia’s Rustem Fatkhulin was booed as he made his way to the ring to face second-in-command Alfie Winter.
Surrey man Winter took on one of the ring’s most popular names on his debut, outstripping Kevin McCauley. Of course, he doesn’t stop him and very few people do. As a result, Winter is desperate to get tough shots from the top into the Russian net and seems to want to make a statement.
As a newcomer to the pro ranks, Winter showed confidence and showed the bravery of a champion throughout, keeping a tight and regular defence, putting strong pressure on the team. its opposite number.
Fatkhulin tried to dodge Winter’s work and tackle where he could, but spent the entire fight on hindfoot, propelled by the young man’s effective aggression. Winter also showed adept at defence, as he moved forward, catching the majority of Russian shots on gloves, elbows and forearms. His followers sang ‘Walking in a Winter Wonderland’ like a lot of battle fans, but didn’t have to change the lyrics as much as most battle fan bands. Winter decided 40-36.
