The undercard of Eternal 50 is over, with three out of the four bouts ending in a finish.

Both the Canterbury Fight Centre and City Kickboxing went two from two so far on the fight card.

The atmosphere was electric at Eternal 50 at the Sky City Convention Centre for the amateur undercard this afternoon.

After the first fight saw Fergus Jenkins defeat Ezra Berghan by round two submission, City Kickboxing’s Jayson Sun put on a clinic as he ground out tough Alex Sele of Lost Boys Christchurch.

Jason Sun (City Kickboxing) vs Alex Sele (Lost Boys)

The fight started with a bang, as both men met in the centre before Sun scored an early knockdown with a vicious straight jab which clipped Sele and toppled him to the canvas.

This was followed by a clinch battle for the remainder of the fight, with Sele successful in regaining his feet but spending most of his time and energy doing so. Each time the clinch broke, both men would swing with ill intent before they crashed back together into the clinch again.

It was Sun who got the better of most of these exchanges, taking Sele down several times en route to a 30-27 unanimous decision victory.

Hone Milne (Canterbury Fight Centre) vs Gary MacDonald

The third fight was a whirlwind of violence. The two men traded 1-2s in the centre before MacDonald initiated the clinch and backed Milne to the cage. Milne unleashed elbows into the side of MacDonald’s head with evil intent, breaking the clinch and throwing a head-kick on his way out.

MacDonald kept the pressure on, clinching up and going for a single-leg takedown, eventually getting the high crotch and finishing atop Milne in his guard.

Milne’s legs were active, chasing the high guard. MacDonald left one of his arms hanging out and that was all Milne needed to switch his hips and snatch the armbar, finishing the fight in the first round!

That made it two from two for the Canterbury Fight Centre crew.

Carl Van Roon after his TKO stoppage of Paul McMah

Carl Van Roon (City Kickboxing) vs Paul McMah (Iron Wolves)

This fight was like a stick of dynamite – short and explosive. Van Roon the Tae Kwondo stylist stayed on the outside and unloaded a blitz of strikes against the shorter McMah, who tried to close the distance. Van Roon was adept at staying away from the cage – circling out instead of backing straight up.

McMah was trying to setup a takedown by throwing an overhand into a single leg but Van Roon was well aware of it. Before long, Van Roon found his timing, clipping the chin of McMah and stunning him. Smelling blood, Van Roon poured on the pressure, landing crisp accurate punch combinations which rattled McMah until the referee had seen enough and stepped in with a minute to go in the first round.

First-round TKO for Van Roon and two from two for City Kickboxing.
