Jones lets Barnes stands up and then finishes the job, knocking him down once again. Referee Jim Flanders decides that Barnes has had enough, stopping the fight at 1:34 for the winner by TKO Gareth Jones.

The HKFCAOAFE for Knockout of the Night:
This award goes to the fighter with the most impressive knockout at Hard Knocks 5.

The nominees are: Cole Fetzer for his TKO of Meelad Hashtee, Rob Park for his KO of Justin Wong, Gareth Jones for his TKO of Aaron Barnes and Aaron Armstrong for his TKO of Curtis Chambers

And the winner is... Gareth Jones

Gareth Jones has a great deal of boxing experience and he showed it at Hard Knocks 5 with a devastating KO of Aaron Barnes. In the first real action of the fight, Jones caught a kick and with Barnes's leg in hand, Jones used his free hand to knock down Barnes with a hard punch to the jaw. Jones then let Barnes up, so that he could continue with his superior striking. A devastating right hook later, Barnes was left sprawled out on the canvas. The KO at 1:34 of Round 1 gave Jones his first MMA victory and earns him the HKFCAOAFE for Knockout of the Night

SATURDAY JAN 23rd FIGHT NIGHT
What a great night for boxing in general, let alone both of the Teofista Gyms.
Adam Lacasse was our first fighter of the 3 Airdrie fighters brought. Adams fight fell through last minute so he got to spar for fun with a guy that was 20 pounds heavier then him.
Altough dispite the obviouios weight differance Adam held his own and stil got to throw his fists in front of a crowd. It'll be a treat to watch him get in the ring agaist his own weight division next time.

Our First Official (on record) fight of the night was Matthew Halladay. Matthew stayed tight, threw alot of connecting punches and stayed alert recieving 2 standing 8 counts against his opponent. It was high energy and non stop action.
After 3 rounds of a great performace by both fighters, Matthew walked away winning, and now having Teofista-Elite's / Airdrie Boxing's FIRST FIGHT and FIRST VICTORY.

Our Third fight / second official fight of the night was Chris Anderson. Chris came out heavy, strong, percise and leaving not much for openings. Chris's speed and heavy hands are what ended up achieving him 1 standing 8 count against his opponent and then unanimously
getting the victory after 3 rounds of 2 tough guys showing what boxing is all about.... And now having Teofista-Elite's / Airdrie Boxing's SECOND FIGHT and SECOND VICTORY.

My Last words on this are those of GREAT appreciation for our fighters and members who helped them train. Our 2 recorded fights / victories came from fighters who were home bred from our gym. It's nice to "offically" know that what we're offering at the gym is paying off.
Congratulations guys !!
