SAN DA ACTION OF "NEW YORK SHOWDOWN 9" HAS PACKED HOUSE ON THEIR FEET
USKBA ACTION SPORTS Promoters Steve Ventura and David Ross (NYKK Gym) hosted their ninth installment of "NEW YORK SHOWDOWN" on November 6, 2004 at NYKK GYM, located in New York City. "NEW YORK SHOWDOWN 9" featured some top amateur San Da talent in the Northeast area. While being a 'launching pad' for fresh San Da talent, this event also showcased some more experienced amateur San Da fighters. It was hard to establish which bout was the 'Fight of the Night'. However, one thing is sure...there was enough action to thrill anyone. USKBA Lead Official Donnie Carolei is a mainstay as referee of the "NEW YORK SHOWDOWN" series. He is animated, carefully watches every fighter and always offers words of encouragement. Combine that with terrific bouts and enthusiastic crowd and the "NEW YORK SHOWDOWN" series is one series of events that should not be missed.

TIM O'CONNOR def Ryan Dudney by TKO at 1:00 of Round 1.
