Mina Sarihasan and Lennox Chance win in England
Submitted by: Tommy "BEE" Bottone
Mina Sarihasan 17 years old from Middle Island, NY USA fought a 3rd amateur full contact rules kickboxing
bout against Vicky Ransom 27 years old of England.
This was an entertaining bout, as Vicky started out with a strong attack in round 1 with Mina keeping
her composure and landing some good combinations.
Round 2 was when Mina found that her front Kick was a very effective weapon for this fight and began
landing it at will, gaining control with it using it to set up some great hand and leg combinations.
Round 3 Mina was in control and showcased some strong boxing and kicking combinations being the
aggressor for the entire round. Mina also landed a very strong roundhouse kick to the neck showing how
tough Vicky was as she continued fighting strong to the final bell.
This was the first time Mina Sarihasan has fought outside of the U.S. and was thrilled to fight in
England. She hopes to return to Europe to fight again.
Mina will fight on September 15th 2006 in the WAKO U.S. Championships.
Mina 's record is now 7-0-0 holding a NYS and East Coast title and this undefeated young female fighter
plans on becoming an Amateur World champion at 124 lbs in the near future.
Mina's trainer Tommy Bottone has said that he is amazed at the great skill and will that Mina possesses
for such little experience, only 2 years in training
Tommy said that in all of his years of training and fighting he has never seen anyone learn as quickly
as Mina has and is really happy to see her success in fighting at only 17 years old.

out slow to feel his opponent out in round 1.By the rounds end Lennox and his corner felt that his body
shots where having a very good effect so they decided to step it up a notch.
Round 2. Lennox landed some very strong body shots dropping Paul 2 times in the round.
For round 3 Tommy Bottone in Lennox's corner told him that we can finish him in this round if you settle
down on your body shots and when he is hurt you can finish him with a right hand. After being dropped again
with body shots Lennox continued his attack with strong combinations of Kicks and body shots and landing a
very hard right hand, which was the final strike, after he went down his corner threw in the towel realizing
that Lennox was too strong for Paul Wiffin on this day.
