PLANET P.U.M.A. Bath v Cambridge Fight Night By Rob Dinsey, University of Bath The University of Bath’s P.U.M.A. Kickboxing Club hosted its annual Fight Night on the 1 st December 2011 against a combined team from Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin Universities. The event was well attended as ever, with over 600 supporters turning up to watch the nine fights which took place on the evening, raising a considerable sum of money for the “Help For Heroes” charity. The Bath squad contained fighters of various abilities, from multiple-time P.U.M.A. British Open champions through to first years competing for the very first time, matched for weight and experience against Cambridge fighters. Each bout was two rounds in duration and scored by P.U.M.A. officials and refereed by Mr Rob Tettmar VI Degree. The early bouts went the way of Cambridge, with the exception of Bath’s James Henson taking a creditable draw against a more experienced opponent in the opening fight of the night. When Cambridge’s most experienced fighter Georgios Evangelinos made the most of a 12kg weight advantage to win the fourth bout, Cambridge were 3.5-0.5 ahead, a commanding lead and leaving them just needing one of the final four bouts to win overall. Bath fought back immediately though, with first year student Adam Pugsley taking a well-deserved victory over his opponent, show-casing excellent punching combinations in a unanimous decision victory. After an interval, Bath were again victorious as Men’s Captain, Chris “Lady killer” Harvey, beat Alex Elliott of Cambridge despite a weight disadvantage, leaving a comeback a real possibility with Bath just a single point behind. 8
PLANET P.U.M.A. Ultimately though, Cambridge took the victory with a win in the penultimate bout, with Bath’s Ahmed Suleiman winning the night’s closing bout to finish with a score of 4.5 points for Cambridge against 3.5 for Bath, sending the visiting supporters home happy. The night also featured a number of performances from the University’s dance and cheerleading societies and an exhibition women’s bout between Bath’s Sandrine Pierrat and Steph Darvill, who had each been scheduled to fight a Cambridge opponent who was not able to turn up on the day. Ultimately the event was a huge success and despite the end result, the fighters did their club proud.
