| 'AK
47' GUNS DOWN HIS MAN IN 1 MINUTE 2 SECONDS OF ROUND
1! |
Adam 'AK 47' Kiani was USKA's
lone ranger travelling down to fight on the Derbyshire Panthers
promoted Alfreton card on the 16th September.
Cornermen Neil Kelly, Sean Quinn and Qasim Nisar and loyal
supporters
Qasim Ali, Tommy Collett and Tyler Shakespeare made the
trip also to finally witness the eagerly awaited ring debut
of one of USKA's newest stars.
Adam on arrival found that he was matched against a home
town fighter in the form of Bilah Rashid who fights out
of the ACE kickboxing gym in Derby.
The fight was set 8th on the card so there would be quite
a wait before Adam needed to get ready. He and the boys
were in good spirits as they killed time awaiting his call.
After a lengthy warm up a relaxed and confident Adam was
hungry to get down to business and as he made his way to
the ring there was absolutely no sign of any nerves entering
the ring second. We saw a pensive looking Bilah and his
team already in the ring looking shocked to see Adams conditioning
and excellent physique. First blood in the psychological
battle to the USKA corner it seemed.
Referee John Blackledge checked both fighters equipment
in their corners and called them both to ring centre for
final instructions ahead of the first rounds action.

minute advice to 'AK 47' Adam Kiani

ROUND 1
Bilah comes out southpaw and straight away shows
that he has good kicking ability by firing of a
lead leg side kick to head height but short of it's
target.
It seems as though he is trying to keep Adam off
him and out of punching range. Adam used to dealing
with good kickers every day of the week in the USKA
gym is unfazed and stalks his man down trying to
close off his kicking range.
Adam gets past the leg and Bilah panics resulting
in a scrappy punch exchange
between the two fighters.
Adam fires off a hard right straight leg round kick
to show he too has fire power in his lags as well
as his arms backing Bilah up to the ropes.
The instruction from the USKA corner is to take
away the lead leg and counter with the hard straight
right hand punch.
Adam does this and grazes Bilah's chin to serve
a warning on him.
Feeling this is indeed the key to success Adam again
starts to stalk and Bilah again tries to hold him
of with the lead leg kick. Adam in better range
this time takes away the kick with his lead arm
and counter attacks with a well timed lead hook
and straight right hand that saw Bilah crash to
the canvas.
Credit to Bilah for beating the count but on very
shaky legs and in no position to continue referee
Blackledge waves off the contest in favour of first
round KO to Adam Kiani.
An incredible and explosive ring debut for Adam
and a fearsome punching display that will surely
earn him many more KO scalps in this game in the
near future.
Adam and his team happy with his evenings efforts
look forward to his next outing which at this point
looks to be in early November at the local Emerald
MAGB promoted show.
This will give more of the USKA supporters a chance
to see this power house of a fighter in action in
the flesh.
Well done Adam on an excellent ring debut that did
USKA and yourself proud.
