This email is to follow-up on the first email and give more results and a brief description of events that took place this past Saturday Night in Chesapeake Va.

There were more Champions that were not posted on last email Monday.  Some of these names were posted incorrectly:

Also Champion by Walk Over Stephanie Stafford from Greubel's Kickboxing camp in GA.
The spelling on these two were posted incorrect: Umaer Haq and Jonathon Schweinefuss.  Speaking of these two, they are with camp Mikido (Mike Hess) Team from Northern Va. This was there (68th) Championship Belt Won by that camp through out the years.  This is a GREAT accomplishment to a Team that is considered one of the best in the Country.  Congratulations to Team Mikido!!!
Greubel's Camp from GA. is also considered one of the best in the Country and have also Won many Belts.  Along with other Top Teams such as Team Plant out of KY and Team Finn out of TN. There were many top teams through out the Country at this years 2007 U.S.WKKO Championships..  There are many Top Teams like Team Frazier and Team Walters and Smith and Manuel, we could go on and on, but what makes a GREAT Team is not how many Belts they win but how hard they train consistently time after time.  These camps go all over the Country and prove there selves that They are the best Teams in the Country consistently Winning Championships.  That comes from good coaching and Hard work ethics by the Fighters. 

That night proved to be a first for Kickboxing with Bobby Wall retiring his Gloves and asking his beautiful girlfriend up to the stage to ask her hand in marriage. What a night it was with the re-match of Steve Mann vs John Koy with Steve once again coming out on top.  Then you had the underdog Wescott Lynch from Team Walters winning on all judges score cards against a TUFF Dean Lavin from Team Manuel.  The excitement was all night and the noise was off the scale. 

With juniors and adults filling the night time card nobody would have thought that the re-match between Markus Laquihon vs Tyler Chavous would have once again gone toe to toe like there first match (1) year ago.  In the end Tyler came out victorious. Then you had the re-match between Rafael Bayona vs Josh Tufte, with two big super heavy weights rocking the ring for the North American Championship and in the end Josh was the winner. 

The daytime fights were excellent as well with many juniors mixing it up along with some adult fights.  The most exciting daytime fight had to be Jessica Goldyn of Team Smith going against Qiana Poleon of Team Linxx in a junior match-up.  Jessica stopped Qiana with the third knockdown of the fight with a jab and the fight was stopped. In another Daytime fight, in International rules(which is leg kicks and above) Jonathan Braxton and John Garrett mixed it up with Braxton winning the Belt. Along with another International division with Team Gibson out of Western part of Va. having Mr. Gibson fight himself in a large division with the winner being Chris Hendry from Team Greubel out of GA.

Back to the Night Time fights where Team Plant with there Top Team having Caleb Plant put on a display of talent against a Fine fighter in Joeseph Murphy out of Team Frazier, with Plant winning in the end. One of the best fights of the night was the first where Summer Satterfield from Team Allen out of Tampa FL took on Lauren Martin an experienced fighter from Team Frazier out of SC.  Satterfield has a good career ahead of her if she continues to fight the way she did Saturday night with her win over Martin. 

Mike Decker from Team Maldonato out of N.J. was defending his U.S.Championship by taking on a game opponent in Justin Gruber from Team Walters.  In the end Mike remained the U.S.Champion.

The highlighted fight of the night was David (D-Man) Cynar from Team Walters taking on Norman Green from Team Smith.  David showed his old self with a Jump spin Backkick in the 2nd round to the ribs of Norman to stop the fight with a TKO.  D-Man has not decided if he will continue fighting next year but will let the WKKO know before the end of the year. He is the Current North American Champion in a Division which is stacked with Talent.  There are many fighters wanting a piece of the action with David like Josh Spry and Michael Lawrence, both of those fighters ranked in the top 10.  Josh is higher ranked now that Michael lost on this night in another great fight to Umaer Haq out of Team Mikido. Michael Lawrence out of Team Dabney may drop in rankings but Umaer continues to go up in the ra nkings. He stepped up in weight to take on Michael in that division and Win the 141lbs -147lbs weight class.

There is so much to talk about when speaking about this years 2007 U.S.Championships but many are asking when are the next fights.  There will be no more WKKO events this year but in 2007 there are many planned events.  Starting in Feb. in Christiansburg Va. with Perry Gibson being the Promoter.  This event is not yet confirmed but is in the works of being confirmed.  There is always the EastCoast Classic in April which is in its 7th year, and then the Va. States along with the Southeast Classic.  many others are considering promoting events and are on the table to be confirmed. Stay tuned to your emails and for more info call 757-491-1733. 

Clark Walters and Craig Smith want to think all that supported this years event and hope to see you all soon in 2008. God Bless
