"Collision At The Coliseum"
August 25th, 2007 - Lafayette, Louisiana, USA


  • WHO: Power Kick Promotions
  • WHERE: Blackham Coliseum, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
  • WHAT: "Collision At The Coliseum - USA vs. Croatia"
    • IKF Pro & Amateur Kickboxing & ISCF Pro & Amateur MMA
  • ISCF & IKF Representative: Gil Gilory
  • ISCF & IKF Referee: John Munz

From David Hebert - www.theadvertiser.com
The fans were booing, and Kenward Bernis was glad to hear it. The Port Barre resident they call "Boo" took down Verdan Badun of Croatia Saturday night in Blackham Coliseum, concluding an evening of mixed martial arts bouts on the card for the Collision at the Coliseum: USA vs. Croatia.

Bernis (2-0) needed less than three minutes to defeat Badun (3-1) as he escaped a triangle choke, then won with a rear-naked choke. Bernis, a veteran of the reality television show "Survivor", was grateful to outlast a more muscular and taller fighter in the 205-pound weight division. "I got lucky, obviously," Bernis said. "I fought above my weight division. I think this guy was rusty. He used to fight. He retired, and he took a fight. I think I got lucky with some of that. He hadn't fought in a while." Josh Artigue serves as Bernis' trainer. He instructed Bernis to use Badun's kickboxing background against the Croatian.

"I figured if he could get the guy to the ground and take his feet out of it, we could work more toward Boo's strengths," Artigue said. "Boo is a phenomenal grappler. He pins most of the guys in the gym on a regular basis." Bernis almost fell victim to the legs he was trying to avoid. "I knew he would be able to kick me," Bernis said. "I was trying to pick my shot to take him down. When we went down, I think he knows he can triangle a lot of people because his legs are 10 feet long. I made the mistake of trying to sweep under his leg. He got me in the triangle, and it was tight man." Bernis was running out of oxygen. Standing up, he loosened Badun's grip and put the Croatian on his back. With Bernis on top, Badun rolled to his stomach. It would be his last mistake of the evening as Bernis slipped his arm under his neck and pulled hard, forcing a submission by Badun. Bernis plans to take some time off before entering the ring once more.

In earlier professional action, Latigo Heriberto needed just 40 seconds to defeat Danny "Lil Voodoo" Payne. Heriberto landed multiple blows to Payne's head, forcing a quick tap out.

Four amateur bouts began the evening. Jimmy Guzman used a vicious left hook to bring Lafayette native Arron Phillips to the mat, then landed several more punches before the fight was called at 2:41 in the first round for excessive strikes. Robert Perez endured a knee to the groin from Blake Borskey, then dominated their match before retiring with an injury to his left thigh after one round. The most competitive fight on the card was between Lorenzo Billescas of Houston and Eric Scallan of Lafayette. Scallan forced action to the ground as both fighters took turns giving and receiving blows in the first round. In round two, Scallan brought Billescas to the mat again. He won the match with an arm bar at the 2:52 mark in round two. Ivan Brkljaca brought the crowd to its feet with a strong left uppercut that ended both Trenton Burke's night and the amateur MMA card. Brkljaca landed several more punches after Burke hit the canvas, winning via excessive blows 27 seconds into round two.

The two scheduled IKF Amateur Kickboxing bouts on this card were cancelled the day of the event. Please read below for reasons why.

RE-POSTED FROM YESTERDAY DUE TO FIGHT CARD CHANGE


THIS WEEKENDS ISCF ACTION

Power Kick Promotions Presents
"Collision At The Coliseum"
Lafayette, Louisiana, USA



FIGHT CARD AS OF: Saturday, August 25th, 2007 - 5:00 PM - PST

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The IKF Headquarters and the IKF Representative for this event (Mr. Gil Gilory) would like to make something very clear here. In our discussion with the Croatia trainer in regards to the two Amateur Kickboxing bouts being cancelled, we felt the Croatia trainer thought we were doing him wrong. From IKF Headquarters in California, IKF President Steve Fossum was directly involved in this decision and investigation process of this issue along side of the IKF and ISCF event representative at the event Mr. Gilory. Mr. Fossum was clearly very disappointed in the outcome of the background investigation of these fighters and that they would not be allowed to fight.

"We all tried to explain to the Croation trainer that this was not just some rule we made up on the spot." said Fossum. "We are truly sympathetic to the problem, but rules are rules and we as a legit sanctioning organization for the fight sports need to abide by these rules and regulations along side the Louisiana State Boxing Commission."

This issue is not an isolated issue either. Here is some information to help you readers understand this issue more.

The disappointing issue here is the vast difference of what Europe calls a PRO fighter as compared to what the USA calls a PRO Fighter. What Fossum and Gilory could not help the Croatian trainer to understand was that this was not just the decision of the IKF. It was also the decision of the Louisiana State Boxing Commission who was also overseeing the event along with the sanctioning of the IKF and ISCF. However, even if the Louisiana Commission were not present, IKF and ISCF Rules and Regulations are very clear as to what the IKF and ISCF classify as a PRO Fighter. Here are some articles to refer you to for a background on this issue:

Later this year there will be another version of the IKF Amateur World Classic Kickboxing Tournament held in Europe. However, it will be anything but the same as the IKF World Classic! This "World Championship Tournament" will be hosted by a European based sanctioning body. Although this organization will make claims to Olympic Organizations and others around the world that they are hosting an "AMATEUR" World Championships, the truth is FAR from the word Amateur. Before we explain this more, let us share with you the awful truth that USA Kickboxing will be faced with at this Tournament.
In this tournament will be a team of "AMATEUR" fighters from America. TRUE AMATEURS! Fighters who have NEVER fought as Pro Fighters in ANY Fight Sport. This USA Team will travel to this event to represent the USA as what this hosting European organization will make claims as "The BEST Kickboxers the USA has to offer!" NOT the Best "AMATEURS", the BEST KICKBOXERS! What most here do not realize is that America is being "Served up on a platter" to the rest of the Kickboxing World who will happen to attend this Tournament. You see, what many do not realize is that nearly ALL (85-95%) of the "Other" fighters at this tournament will be SEASONED PROFESSIONAL Kickboxers who are representing their country as the "BEST" Kickboxers from their country.

Knowing this, it's clear why many call the IKF Amateur World Classic Kickboxing Tournament the "LARGEST All AMATEUR Kickboxing Tournament in the World"... Because it IS!

The reason for this explanation is to make those here in the USA understand that many in Europe see the words Amateur and Professional VERY differently than those here in the USA. To many European organizations as well as fighters and trainers, a Professional fighter is NOT a fighter who fights as a Pro and gets a purse for his work. A PRO Fighter is one who "Makes a Living doing kickboxing - Or fighting", which in itself is a very questionable call... "Who determines when a fighter can 'Make a living' as a fighter?" No one truly can. Because of this, the IKF and ISCF will always stick to the only true way of determining if a fighter is a Professional or an amateur... the same way one would be separated in ANY trade... If he is PAID, he is a Professional. Once he is paid, he is from that moment on, a Professional. If he has never been paid, he is an amateur. End of story.

Everyone here at IKF and ISCF headquarters and in Louisiana representing the IKF and ISCF are all truly sorry we did not get the opportunity to see these Croation fighters fight on this event tonight. Hopefully they can be booked on a future event as Professional fighters. We also hope the Croation Team now understands that the decision of all this was not just something made up on the spot or a personal decision. this is a clear cut rule in American Fight Sports.
