Kickett Outpoints St Clair

Brilliant Aboriginal prospect Willie Kickett scored a major victory by unanimously out scoring ex IBF world champ Gairy St Clair over ten rounds at super featherweight poundage. A bout of high quality every second of the way. St Clair was more aggressive than usual and he dominated the middle stanzas before Kickett stormed home over the final rounds. Round nine was a particularly big round for the West Australian whiz, who has been compared to the great former world bantamweight champion Lionel Rose. Kickett also received a cut, ruled a head clash, early and this bout will make him a much better fighter and should do wonders for his confidence. Eastside had it 95-95.

detonate a right hand on Kimweri early and he came very close on quite a few occasions but credit to Tanazanian Tiger Omeri who came in well prepared and out boxed his more experienced foe in several rounds. Angota, ( IBO computerized ratings # 10 in the world) revealed after that he entered the contest with a damaged hand and that he had dropped eight pounds the day of the weigh – in, arriving in Australia only four days prior to the contest. He was cornered by Jeff “Flash” Malcolm, Keith Ellis junior and Tony Miller. South Australian based Kimweri, only three pro fights and 54 amateur going in had trainer Rod Davis and Commonwealth 126 pound champ Jackson Asiku behind him.

St Clair Says Kickett Is Being Pushed Into Fight

Rising Western Australian prospect ‘Cool’ Willy Kickett takes a major step up in class when he faces former IBF/IBO junior lightweight world champion Gairy ‘Superman’ St Clair in the main support bout on the Jeff Fenech-Azumah Nelson 3 card on Tuesday night at the Vodafone Arena in Melbourne.33 year-old Australian based St Clair 40-6-2 (17) from Guyana, feels that Kickett is being pushed into this fight too early by his trainer Craig Christian. “Honestly, I’m not sure the kid wants the fight,” he said. “Craig Christian is the type of trainer and manager who is pushing for the fight. This fight is not about William Kickett. It is all about Craig Christian.”St Clair pointed to Christian trained boxers Daniel Dawson, Naoufel Ben Rabah and Andreas Seran, who had all stepped up for big fights over the last eighteen months, only to lose.“Craig Christian is his own worst enemy when it comes to training and managing fighters,” said St Clair. “All of those guys he pushed up into big fights, they lost. He is always making the wrong choices. William Kickett is a good young kid, but he has only had ten fights and hasn’t fought anyone on my level. He looks very good against average opponents.”21 year-old Kickett 10-0 (5) is very pleased to get the chance to beat St Clair so early in his career.“I can’t wait to fight Gairy,” he said. “I’m in great condition and I love a challenge. I want to fight better fighters every fight, I’m not scared to take on a challenge, and I like to test myself.”

While he lost to rising superstar Amir Khan in the UK at lightweight on February 2, St Clair says people shouldn’t make the mistake of writing off his career just yet. “Amir Khan is a good young fighter,” admitted St Clair. “I take nothing away from him. But that wasn’t my weight class. I am back in my best weight class and the fans will see that on Tuesday night.” Full Tuesday Night CardJeff Fenech vs. Azumah Nelson, 10 roundsWilliam Kickett vs. Gairy St Clair, 10 roundsOmari Kimweri vs. Angky Angkota, 12 roundsShannon McMahon vs. Mick Shaw, 8 roundsSamuel Colomban vs. Kofi Manu, 6 roundsJustin Bayley vs. Justin Whitehead, 4 roundsBen Costello vs. Robert Sanders, 4 roundsDubbed the rematch of the century by the promoter, “The Final Round” headlined by Fenech vs. Nelson 3, takes place from 6:30pm on 24 June 2008 at Vodafone Arena Melbourne.Ticket prices range from $50-$200 and can be purchased from www.Ticketek.com.au or 132 849Fenech vs. Nelson 3 is also available throughout Australia on pay-per-view via Main Event Television

KICKETT V ST. CLAIR – THE WAR BEFORE

Western Australia’s “Cool Willie” Kickett, the best prospect Australia has produced in a long long time with a record of 10 Wins from 10 starts will take on the biggest fight of his career when he faces Gairy “Superman” St. Clair who has a record 40 Wins and 6 Losses on the Jeff Fenech v Azumah Nelson III promotion.
Kickett vs St. Clair will be the main support for this great trilogy, it should the main event of the night when the unbeaten star takes on the former IBF and IBO World Featherweight Champion Gairy St. Clair.
St. Clair lost his title in South African but is still on the verge of another title shot and is taking great risk fighting Kickett. St. Clair has only been defeated by World Champions such as Diego “Chico” Corrales, Leonard Dorin and Vivian Harris.
Kickett’s speed, reflex and skill matched against St. Clair should prove to be a
great fight, which Australian boxing has lacked and needs more fights like this.
This fight added with the main event should generate one of the biggest pay per views Australia has ever seen.
So get ready to rumble Australia, I’ll be watching the war before

"Cool" Willie Ready to Freeze "Superman" St. Clair

Source: Aussiebox.com.au

"Cool" Willie Kickett (10-0) is a modest, unassuming, and quietly-spoken kid outside the ropes. Almost painfully shy. But the 21-year-old junior lightweight hotshot is set to make some serious noise inside the squared-circle next Tuesday when he battles former IBF 130lb world champion Gairy "Superman" St. Clair (40-6-2) in the chief support to Fenech-Nelson III.

"Regardless of the result, Willie is a winner for accepting a challenge like this," says Kickett's trainer/manager, Craig Christian. The Harry's Gym figurehead is correct in his assessment. In an era of sugar-coated records, Kickett's eagerness to readily challenge a man who boasts more career fights (48) than he does rounds (47), is a breathe of fresh air. In some circles possibly "career suicide", if one wasn't aware of how precocious a ring general the speedy boxer-puncher is. "I don’t see Willie as a 10-round fighter," Christian asserts. "He's developed incredibly in training alongside stablemates world champion Chris John, and Jackson Asiku, and by regularly sparring guys of that caliber, has rapidly lifted his level of competition.

"Indeed, since turning professional in March 2007 Kickett has captured the Australian 130lb title, handily defeated a former world title challenger, and been widely touted as the next superstar of Australian boxing.

Christian's confidence in his young charge is further exemplified when he offers his fight prediction. "Willie's speed and power will overcome St. Clair's experience edge," he claims. "There's no doubt in my mind. Willie's such a calm and in control character, and he always transplants that attitude to the ring. I'm expecting "Cool" Willie to freeze "Superman" before the night is over."
