ISCF MMA Was Approved
Today
As A Pro & Amateur

much, but to the sister organization to the IKF

it's Great News. The IKF has been

until late last year. The ISCF was approved today by the South Carolina

![](SeemeSmWB.jpg) "The Future
For Sport STATS!"
What is 'Seeme Active
Fight Sports?'
Quite simply, it enables
you to permanently capture and automatically share your competitive results.
You can enter your results both through an iPhone
app and through the www.SeeMeActive.com web site. You can share
your stats, have results posted automatically to Twitter and
Facebook, and even authorize others to add comments or even
enter stats for you while you're competing!
Once your results are saved in Seeme Active Fightsports on
the iPhone, results are automatically accessible in your account
at www.SeeMeActive.com
- and vice versa. Friends and family can receive notifications of the newly
added data and review results as they happen from any device with web access if
they can't be there in person.
![](CassioWerneck.jpg)
"When my students compete it usually takes a
couple days to find out how they did, but with seeme active fightsports we can
get their results as they happen at the event." Cassio Werneck
(R) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion
|
Competitors currently keep track of their results in a number of different
ways. Some save results in a spreadsheet, or in a Word document, or in email, or
on Facebook. Others rely on promoters to post results. And some
simply rely on memory. Many don't bother because there's no simple, permanent
solution. And those who do use one of these ad hoc methods to keep track of
their results complain that it's difficult to share with others, that promoters'
sites (and their results!) go away, or that they've lost their data
after a computer crashed or an account expired. |
![](SMAScreen1.jpg) ![](SMAScreen4.jpg)
So how do you use it? Easy!
If you have an iPhone, go to the App Store on either your phone or computer,
search for "seeme active," and download seeme active fight
sports. With a couple taps of the screen you can enter your upcoming (or
past) events and results and get a summary of your competitive history.
If you don't have an iPhone, just go to www.SeeMeActive.com create
an account, and start entering your results!
Who can see my stats?
It's up to you. You pick who you want to see your stats and
results.
And as mentioned above, you can choose to have your results automatically
posted to your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts.
This is great for easily letting others who couldn't make it to your event know
how you did when it happened. If somebody wants all the details, like the round,
the time, and the way you won a match (e.g. by a clock choke at 1:19 or
round 2 in a BJJ or MMA match; by pinning your opponent 12 seconds into round 1
for a wrestling match; by decision in a kickboxing or boxing bout...), they
can check out your results on www.SeeMeActive.com from a computer, iPhone, or
any other device that can view the web.

IKF Asia Press For the first time,
the biggest match Thailand has ever seen was held by
IKF Asia. This match was held between
Eric Mohsen Mansoori, the Iranian Kickboxing Champion and Sanomsak
Sitsurapon, Thai Boxing Champion from Thailand in the style of kickboxing
with K-1 Rules.
There was a lot of excitement in the Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand as this
was the first qualifier, being sanctioned by IKF Asia in
Thailand. A large crowd gathered to watch the match and they were cheering the
fighters heavily. During this event, many Thai promoters showed enthusiasm to
hold more such matches in Thailand and preliminary agreements were made.
The Thai Champion had a higher advantage over the Iranian fighter in the
ring and not to mention, he had a lot of local support since most of the crowd
were Thai and were cheering for him.
This match is part of a play-off for the Grand Prix match for the
prize of $5,000.00 to be held on 25th of January, 2010. This is the first prize
to be awarded from IKF Asia in Thailand.
In the first round, the fighters tested their opponents skills and followed
a close fight. In the second round, despite the brilliant and powerful
performance by the Thai Champion, Mohsen Mansoori attacked the Thai
fighter and showed off his fighting skills and broke the opponents ribs with a
back kick and won the match by Knock-Out.
After the match, the winner was announced and the Iranian flag was raised in
the stadium. Eric qualified to fight for the Asian Championship Title to
be sanctioned by IKF Asia and the IKF World Headquarters. He will fight fiercely for
the IKF Asia Belt and the prize money of
$5000.00.
Shihan Amir Mosadegh, president of PIMAF and
IKF Asia Representative, congratulated
Eric for the victory and the great performance he showed and wishes him
luck in the future fights.

IKF
Overturns
Murphy Vs Eriec
Decision
October 2009
"It was CLEARLY a bad call so we had to do the right thing
and over-rule it."
After a full review of the fight footage the IKF has ruled to overturn a very bad referee call
that was made back on October 24th, 2009 on the Paco/LTD Productions', "THE
RUMBLE IN RICHMOND" in Richmond, California, USA.
The bout was for the vacant
IKF Amateur MTR West Coast Super
Lightweight Title. In the bout, Rick Eriec faced Jeremy Murphy.
In the opening round, Murphy connected with a solid turnback side kick
to Eriec's stomach that dropped Eriec in pain to the mat where
he stayed for quite some time.
California State Commission Referee Ed Collantes
thought it was a low blow and called it as such and allowed Eriec plenty
of time to recover and continue fighting... A minute and 10 seconds to be
exact... However, as required from such a blow, referee Collantes never
went around the ring and pooled the other ringside judges or the chief
commission inspector. Worse yet, no one even questioned the call which other
commission officials at ringside saw. After Eriec was given his 70
seconds to recover and fight on, the bout went on. In the end, it ended in a
Split Decision draw. Judge Steve English scored it 40-36, Murphy.
Judge Steve Morrow scored it 39-37 Eriec and Judge Ray
Balewicz had it even at 38-38.
IKF President Steve
Fossum was the IKF Event
Representative at ringside during the event and had a clear view of the kick. "There
was no doubt in my mind or some others at ringside at the moment that it was a
clean kick to the stomach, but since amateur bouts in California are overseen by
the commission, I really had no say in the matter." Said Fossum.
"However, after seeing it again recently, there was no way any of us
could just sit here and allow it to go un-noticed. It was clearly a bad call so
we had to do the right thing and over-rule it."
After the strike, referee Collantes asked Eriec
if it was a groin shot and Eriec did not answer. In his interview after
the fight, he admitted that he got caught and couldn't speak to answer that it
was not a groin shot. If Collantes would have seen it the way Fossum
and others saw it, Eriec would have been given an 8 count, which he
surly would not have made and the fight would have been over at that point and
the decision would have been, Jeremy Murphy by knock out.
As of today, the official "IKF"
Results for this bout is:
IKF Amateur MTR West Coast Super Lightweight Title
Jeremy Murphy, Milpitis, California, USA defeated Rick
Eriec, Concord, California, USA by KO AT 1:57 of round 1.
It was unknown as of press time what, if anything the
California State Commission will do about the call. both Bill Douglas
and Dave Thornton, Interim Executive Officer for the California State
Athletic Commission were sent a link to the fight back in December, but to our
knowledge, there has been no response back to Murphy's camp about the
bout other than Thornton e-mailing Murphy's camp saying, "If
you still want the commission to review this fight please submit the DVD of the
fight as soon as possible."

Preacherman
Moves On
IKF
Pro World Champion
Dan
Erickson Hangs Up The Gloves
![](DanEricksonRing.jpg)
|
"It was a hard decision to make since kickboxing is a
sport I still enjoy so much, I will always be a fan." said IKF Pro World FCR Heavyweight Champion Dan "Son of a Preacherman" Erickson
of Duluth, Minnesota, USA. This week
Erickson made the decision after thinking about a possible rematch with
Kevin Smiles.Erickson
defeated Smiles to win the title back on November 25th, 2006, in Loves
Park, Illinois, USA by KO in the 7th round. Since the win he has never been
challenged for the title, which we are sure also played into the thoughts on his
decision. Dan and his wife Laura had their first child, Alicea,
last July and he has found his focus has been with his family and not
kickboxing. Those of us who are parents can't agree with him more.
Dan was trained by both former IKF Pro world Champion Mike Labree and Bill Lassi during
his career. His professional record was 10-1-1 with 6 wins coming by KO/TKO. He
also fought for the now defunct World Combat League that Chuck
Norris had created.
In the Amateurs he made even more waves with a record of 21-1
with 11 wins coming by KO/TKO. Back in 2001 Dan fought through three
other challengers to win the 3rd
IKF Tournament, back when it
was still called the IKF
USA Nationals. It was the 2001 IKF/RINGSIDE USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships
in Olathe/Kansas City Kansas, USA (September 7th, 8th & 9th - The
weekend before 9-11) It was the Largest Kickboxing event EVER (Number of
competitors) in North America. 265 Fighters Registered and 207 Fighters
Fought. Although the record has been broken twice now (2005 & 2009), the
2001 event still holds the record
for the largest number of "Adult" men Full Contact Rules
fighters at 65.
Erickson was one of those 65 as he and 8 others
fighters from around USA challenged for the tournaments FCR Heavyweight title.
In his opening round of competition he defeated John Davidson of Georgia
by TKO at 1:07 of round 1 to advance to round 2. Later that day in the second
round of action he faced and defeated
Tim Mazurkievicz
by unanimous decision, 30-24, 30-25 & 30-25 to advance to the final. In the
final he took on Wil Joseph of Dallas, Texas. Erickson put him
away by TKO at 1:18 of the 2nd round to take home the tournament title.
The following year at the 2002
IKF USA National Amateur Kickboxing Championships
in Davenport, Iowa, USA on August 2nd, 3rd & 4th, 200 Fighters challenged
for the 4th annual IKF Tournament title. Erickson
once again was one of the 200 challengers and again defended his title in a
rather odd road. Being the returning Champion Erickson received a by in
the opening round. In the opening round of competition, Wil Joseph, who
Erickson beat the previous year for the title, defeated David
Hampton. However Joseph was a no show for his bout against Erickson
for their round 2, Saturday afternoon bout, thus giving Joseph a loss by
forfeit and moving Erickson to the Championship bout on Sunday. In the
tournament Championship bout Erickson defeated Mark Mortensen of
Lake Zurich, IL, USA by unanimous decision 29-26 on all 3 judges cards giving
Erickson "Back to Back" titles in the only open
Amateur Kickboxing Tournament in the USA at the time.
"I want to thank you for running such a professional
organization that has given me so many great opportunities through the years."
Said Dan in an e-mail back to the IKF
this week. Well, we want to Thank You Dan for being such a Great
Champion in the Ring and a Great person out of the ring as well. We are proud to
list you among so many other great fighters on the IKF's Past Champions Page.
We wish you and the family all the best in your future Champ! |
