Palisadian Baxter Humby successfully defended his IMTC super welterweight world kickboxing title with a five-round unanimous decision over Jiangtao Dong June 20 in Jamaica. “He was a strong fighter but I used my speed to make him miss and countered with hard kicks and punches,” said Humby, who improved to 33-5 with 12 knockouts. “Jamaica was a great host country and they were very impressed with the fights.” Humby’s fight was part of one of the biggest fight cards ever promoted–the best of the best–including nine world title fights featuring fighters from China, Jamaica, Holland, France, Canada, Thailand, Mexico, Australia and the United States. Next on Humby’s agenda is a fight is scheduled for September 21 in the Philippines. Since his return to Pacific Palisades, however, he’s been training for Friday’s Palisades-Will Rogers race.
