Jersey’s Michael Blood is declared the winner over Danny Kendrick

A TOP display from the Jersey Thai Boxing Club resulted in four wins, one draw, one loss and one no contest from their recent match against a Great Britain select.

Organiser and JTBC trainer Rob Mitchell said: ‘It was one of the best displays of Muay Thai ever witnessed by the Island from novice to professional bouts, junior to experienced, exhibition fights and knock outs this had it all.’

The fight of the night came from Island favourite Michael Blood who had experienced Danny Kendrick on the back foot from the start with great hand, knee, and kick combinations putting the Minotaur down in the first few seconds.

The UK fighter showed grit and determination to fight back hard but Blood, despite breaking his foot in the second round, was the quicker and sharper of the two and dominated every round for the win.
