Elomar Upsets Kickett by Knockout, Wild Riot Breaks Out

Published

After Ahmed Elomar (15-1-2, 8KOs) upset Willie Kickett (13-1, 5KOs), by knocking the rising lightweight prospect out in the first round, a riot broke out in the ring at the Central Coast Leagues Club in New South Wales, Australia. Elomar landed a perfect right hand near the end of the first, knocking Kickett out cold. He captured Kickett's WBO Asia Pacific Youth and IBF Pan Pacific Youth titles.

After Elomar won, his corner and supporters rushed the ring to celebrate. Kickett's supporters were enraged because the prone fighter was still on his back in the ring with officials trying give him attention. Tensions erupted quickly and the two sides began to take part in a wild brawl with flying chairs and bottles and punches being exchanged.

what's with all the knee-jerk reactions?? why on earth should Elomar be suspended? he just had a great victory. yes his crew were a bit moronic - but even they were just celebrating (i'd say over-celebrating)...they were on the receiving end of bottles and chairs. two wrongs don't make a right, but i'd first be looking at the people in the crowd who were throwing **** at the Elomar Camp. Its not the first time i've seen a big crew jump in and go spastic over a win - happens very often. Yeah, perhaps. Elomar still has to take a massive amount of blame for it though IMO. It is not the first time a fighter has had things thrown at them after winning a fight. The normal reaction is to get the fuk out of there before something serious happens. What did Elomar and his hothead mates do? Insight the ppl in the crowd. That is unacceptable. Yes the individuals in the crowd are clearly disgusting but I think an example should be made of Elomar. I would be in favour of a lengthy ban. Don't underestimate the damage this will have done to boxing in this country.

This **** is just terrible for Australian boxing. It is bad enough as it is without this sort of crap. Elomar and his crew need to be suspended, for several years. what's with all the knee-jerk reactions?? why on earth should Elomar be suspended? he just had a great victory. yes his crew were a bit moronic - but even they were just celebrating (i'd say over-celebrating)...they were on the receiving end of bottles and chairs. two wrongs don't make a right, but i'd first be looking at the people in the crowd who were throwing **** at the Elomar Camp.

F U C K E N TROUBLE MAKING Leb's...nothing but Muslim scum...proven once again!!! Kickett has the goods he just doesint keep his chin down he was gunna get that overhand punch eventually and Elomars no mug. He needs to offload that Craig Christian as his trainer...hes a ****en tool...If Johnny Lewis or someone good got hold of him he would be heaps better...maybe a world champ??? not a very nice comment, and if that is what they are, you aren't much better! comments like that are just what inflames such situations..
