Promotions and Tommy T's Announces AK Promotions and Tommy T's Comedy and Dinner Theater of Rancho Cordova, CA announced today that they will be posting two and possibly three more events on the IKF Event Calendar to end the year with a bang! After three successful shows in a six month period, AK Promotions' President Johnny Davis said he wanted to take a short break to evaluate the sports' status and the company's direction. But now, the AK Promotions' team is gearing up for what is to be more exciting IKF Muay Thai Kickboxing fights for the Sacramento Area! Starting Friday night July 2nd ( 4th of July Weekend ) and followed with another show Friday September 3rd 2010 ( Labor Day Weekend). They are also looking at Friday, November 19th, but have not confirmed at press time.
Men and women will fight for the glory of the big win in front of family, friends and fight fans! The event will again feature rising star and IKF Muay Thai California Champion, T.J. Arcangle (right) of San Francisco, CA as the main event. T.J., now 7-0, is undoubtedly one of the best young up and coming Muay Thai technicians on the circuit. He knows all the tricks and seems to be getting better each time out. His Trainer, Kru Sam Phimsoutham makes it clear they are seeking bigger fish. Although only the California champ now, he's definitely looking at bigger fights and titles and is deserving as he has taken out everyone in his path and is now sitting behind number one contender Eric Parker (Left) of Tampa Florida who sports a 10-0 record with 6 wins by knockout in the IKF rankings. Parker is also the 2009 IKF World Classic Champion and won the title with 4 impressive first round KO/TKO's including his Championship bout with a Spinning Hook Kick. As proven at last years IKF World Classic, Parker is an awesome kicker and knocks many of his opponents out with his trademark spinning hook kick. For sure, a clash for the IKF World title is in the air and will be a major collision between two superstars if it happens...that is... IF it happens... Parker informed IKF
HQ last month that he would like his next bout to be a Pro bout. However, he may
be too busy with his new company In the mean time, TJ will be looking to step up for the next title opportunity of West Coast or even a US title for the July 2nd show.( Feel free to send in suggestions for challengers to AK Promotions or the IKF.) Other possible fighters on the card will be Sacramento's Jon
Pryor ( left) who won the IKF
West Coast Super Welterweight title in a dramatic knockout of former champion
Bryan Padilla of Milpitas, CA. If confirmed, he will be looking for
Tough as nails, Daniel Hodges of Rocklin, CA (3- 1) is ready to step up a knotch. He has scored two impressive knockouts in his last two fights and has the vacant IKF CA Welterweight ( 142.1 to 147 lbs) title in his sights. Hugo Dominguez (Patterson, California, USA, 3-0, 211, 5'10" ) and is trained by Mitch Hermia is also looking to get a shot at a title soon as he has won his last three bouts and feels he is now ready to step it up a notch. Additionally, although not yet confirmed, the always tough female fighter Amy Castillo of Patterson, California, USA (2-0, 165, 5'11") and his also trained by Mitch Hermia is looking for her next opponent. Fighters thinking of attending the 2010 IKF World Classic in Orlando, Florida on July 22nd, 23rd and 24th may want to keep in mind the possible 30 to 45 day suspension period that will be issued if they are knocked out or TKO'd. A K Promotions' last event was a huge success and packed the Grand Ballroom of the Doubltree Hotel in Sacramento, CA. Those who were present, knew they were witnessing a special event. The event's success can only be attributed to the talented fighters, trainers and their committed camp's support that make the events successful. AKP is again looking forward to all of their support as they continue to find and build the next recognizable IKF Muay Thai / Kickboxing Champion! AKP will be starting the matching around the first part of April. So, Look for the now matching e-mail soon.

This event had more pre event HYPE than most World Title events! Why? It was the simple fact that this would be one of the largest and most exciting fight cards in the Sacramento area since the names of Pro Fighters Dennis Alexio and Eric Regan headlined the night. The card didn't feature any Pro Kickboxing or Muay Thai, but to the crowd, there seemed to be little difference between amateurs and pros on this night. 15 EXPLOSIVE bouts were presented to the packed crowd at the Double Tree Hotel in Sacramento this past Friday night. Three IKF Title fights were planned but unfortunately, only one of the three was an actual "Title" fight since two of the fighters didn't make the title weight. Nahe
VS Otte With a packed house watching, it was a good thing they did because we have "NEVER" seen such an excited crowd in all our years of the sport! This was a back and forth battle as these two used up every bit of the 90 second rounds to give it their all. If there was ever any down time in the action, we must have missed it because these two gave a perfect example of the term, "Buzz Saw!" Rounds 1 and 2 were action packed but Nahe clearly had the edge winning them both 10-9. Rounds 3 and 4 were where we were glad we were not the judges. In these rounds it would not have surprised us if the judges gave them both to Otte which could have ended the bout in a draw. Unlike rounds 1 and 2, rounds 3 and 4 seemed to prove that Otte found a way to defend from Nahe's attack. Otte seemed to be blocking nearly everything Nahe was thrown her way, but in our opinion, she needed more on offense to sway the judges. All three judges gave Nahe round 3, and 2 of the 3 gave her round 4 as well. Although the scores read unanimous, this bout was without a doubt "MUCH CLOSER THAN THE SCORECARDS READ!" On the cards, Nahe took the win with a unanimous decision win, 39-37, 39-37 and 40-36. When all was said and done, this bout had "Rematch" written all over it. If so, it will be a first defense for Nahe's title she won on the scales and confirmed in the ring. However, knowing that the gold is on the line, and seeing that Otte finally found a way to defend Nahe's explosive attack by round 3, we may end up seeing just that little extra the judges needed to see from Otte to even the final score out. If there is a "Next Time", Otte might even take the IKF Gold from Nahe, but it's Gold that won't be easy to grab from the New Champion Nahe. Regardless of the outcome, if a rematch is made, this fight alone will be sure to PACK THE HOUSE!
Could this be a cursed title? So far it seems likes "No One" will be allowed a successful defense of this particular title. The title was vacant when Duenas first won it on March 27th, 2009, again, at Phantom Promotions', "Fight Night At The Fox" in Redwood City, California, USA when he defeated Abel Carrasco by unanimous decision 38-37, 38-37 & 38-37. So far, the two previous Champions have lost the title on their first defense. Hopefully the result won't be the same for Pryor. T.J. Arcangel
VS Tyler Cronin Scheduled for 3 instead of the required 4 for a title bout, it was an Explosive final bout of the night that sent the crowd away wanting MORE! In the end, Arcangel took it by unanimous decision, 29-28 on all three judges cards. We look forward to a possible rematch here with Cronin making his weight and redeeming himself for the IKF Gold unless Arcangel is shooting for the IKF West Coast title or maybe even a USA Title on his next outing. But until that happens, the Gold of the IKF Amateur Muay Thai Rules California Light Welterweight Title is still proudly worn by Champion, T.J. Arcangel Here are all the
detailed results of the nights action.

been wanting around his waste for some time and willing to defend with all his

California Light Welterweight Title won by T.J. Arcangel back on
November 22nd, 2009 in Sacramento, California at the very same venue, just in a
different room, on AK Promotions' "IKF
Kickboxing" when he defeated Jimmy Machado of Concord,
California by unanimous decision, 40-36, 39-37 & 39-37. It was a welcomed
challenge for Cronin who's the team-mate of
Machado, both trained by Dan Black. However, it was a challenge
that would be bitter sweet. Cronin was unable to make the title weight
of 142, coming in at 144 and unable to drop the two lbs. This could have meant
the end of this bout since it wasn't for a title, however, being the warrior he
is, Cronin elected to still go on with the fight, without the title on
the line.
