Grandwest was the setting for the South African amateur Muaythai

Power promotions, five provinces from around South Africa,
including Gauteng, Kwazulu Natal, The Free State, Eastern and
Western Province, all converged on the Grandwest Arena with their
best fighters for the South African muaythai nationals. With
thirteen fights scheduled the night was set for absolute
awesomeness. All was at stake with the winners of each Muaythai
division going to represent South Africa in Bangkok, Thailand in
this years world championships held in honour of His Majesty the
king of Thailand's 82nd birthday.
The night hit off with Victor Tidte of Gauteng knocking out his
opponent in the second round in the lightweight division, showing
skill and determination he found himself fighting a second bout
against the fresh Ryan Berkowitz of Western Province. Experience
was the tool Ryan used in order to ensure a points victory against
a opponent that, "just wouldn't stay down."
Funda Tshabalala of Western Province dispatched his first opponent,
Kwazulu Natal's Dumisani Nkonyana in the third round, technically
knocking him out and earning himself a place in the nights seventh
fight against the Eastern Cape's Niel Van Riet, however the flair
of Funda outclassed his opponent, even though it was his second
fight of the evening, technically knocking him out and rightfully
earning him the pride of green and gold in the Light Welterweight
division.
A short break was kept interesting by the presence of beatboxer,
Diabolique, showing some mad vocal skills and getting the crowds
heads bobbing to the beat.
By the tenth fight of the evening things had really heated up, and
the middleweight division was contested by Gautengs Morne Tesner
versus Western Provinces Zaphone Geldenhuys.
From the first bell Zaphone took no prisoners, connecting Morne's
head with his knee again and again, until early in the second round
Morne could take no more with his body lying flat on the canvas and
Zaphone's hands held firm in the air.
The only female fight of the evening found Western Provinces
Madeleine Ross, fresh from her second place in the Arafura Games,
fighting against Eastern Cape's Rebecca Beetham. Rebecca fought
passionately but was outclassed by the talented and fierce
Madeleine, who sealed victory in the second round by Rebecca's
corner throwing the towel in.
During a little break from all the awesomeness, the Ubuntu
breakdancers enthralled the crowds with their amazing agility and
talent. Sifu Kru Quentin Chong followed it up with thankfull words
of appreciation for all the fighters involved and for the crowd
making such an event happen.
