what an awesome show! gorgeous venue and awesome fights!
very proud of carl adams, gave away weight and experience to pull out a first round stoppage in his first fight! he was very nervous beforehand coz it was a huge show for his first fight but he was mint and will give anyone @ his weight a really tough fight!
lyndon v danny was a fkn ace fight, two very strong heavyweights doing their thing! people tend to write the knowles bros off maybe coz they dont look like typical fighters, but lyndon is very, very good and unbelievably fit, very technical and no fool and just wouldnt let up. i loved this fight and so did the crowd, nowt beats a big lad tear-up!
Toni Phillips took a well deserved win over her spanish opponent. this was her first fight under thai rules and to be honest i have always believed that thai boxng and kick boxing are poles apart and i know that they are, however toni used her kickboxing background to evade pretty much all of her opponents long range efforts, whilst maintaining a completely thai boxing attitude throughout the fight! it was a pleasure to watch and with a little more work on her clinch, if toni decides to continue fighting under thai rules, she will be a force to be reckoned with at that weight! really pleased for her and her lovely coach billy saul!
finally craig v zidov was a fkn belter! it was a hard fight for them both. people are so quick to write zidov off but u have to remember the guy has had over 70 fights, he is no idiot. i think it totally depends on how zidov has trained and how seriously he takes the fight as to how well he does and believe me, he took this fight seriously. one thing zidov has in bucketloads is heart but it wasnt enough to beat craig tonight. Craig was on fire. everyone knows how tough he is, but this was a really hard fight for him and he just rose to the challenge and dug a bit deeper in every round. He is as humble as they come but he deserved the win without a doubt. huge well done to him and his team at the faktory.
