I had the proud joy of attending my little brothers first Title fight for Ultimate Impact at the weekend. Didn’t have great seats as view was obscured but managed to get a couple of shots on my camera in between shouting encouragement (which I’m sure he could not hear) and trying to steady my excited breathing long enough to get a clear shot in. His skill was clear from the 1st to the 5th round (longest round of all matches that night) and he dominated till the end

Jon psyching up..

going in for the attack from the start…to the finish

some serious ducking going on…good skills

upper cut

and another…

break and a wipe down

Jon already on the winning side

a clear underdog but skills unmatched

three point turn kick

bham…

goes in for another kick

making contact

and again

and again…a good rib shot me thinks

a bit of head grappling in the last round…think both were gassed but Jon was clearly showing his skills

ribs again

contact

and on the attack again

final round

making a lot of contact…5th round

like a little pit bull

a final kick in…a bloodied nose not slowing my brother down

a quick wipe after the final round

waiting to be declared champion

absolute relief

victory!…after 5 rounds of 3 mins each…15mins of total bashing. Jon the clear victor
