Evolved Fighting Results - Philadelphia
On Saturday, December 2, 2006, Casey Campbell fought in his first Muay Thai bout at the New Alhambra in Philadelphia, PA. Casey came out strong, winning the first round. In the 2nd round and 3rd round, his opponent threw more kicks than Casey, therefore, winning the fight 29-28 (2 rounds to 1) and lost by decision. This was Casey's first fight and we are extremely proud of his progress at our school. This is just the beginning for Casey and we are preparing for a quick comeback. We expect to see him in the ring fighting soon again. See below a video clip of the first round from his fight Sat night.

On another note, instructor Dave Carter, was asked to fight last minute on Saturday night's card. He was given basically 5 hours notice. The promoter called and asked if we had a heavy weight available to fight on the card and Dave Carter agreed. Please note: We normally do not do last minute fight arrangements. However, the promoter insisted it was going to be good with 2 minute rest time. Dave has been doing mostly in house training and sparring. The last time he fought a Muay Thai event was two years ago! Dave put up an awesome fight, stopping his opponent in the first round with a leg kick. His opponent went down thinking he had broken a bone but when the doctor checked on him he discovered he was fine and able to continue. By this time the fight had already been stopped for over a minute, and his opponent's corner asked Carter if he wanted to continue. Carter wanting to put on a good show agreed and it was back to business. Carter finished the fight with 2 more knockdowns that left his opponent winded and hurt and won by decision after going through three rounds of punishing his opponent. Although he felt a little "out of shape" for lack of preparation for the fight, he was confident, ready to go, fast
food style.
Dave Carter's Fight Video coming soon...
