Added to the card:

Jake Barton,Elite v Rory Watson, Jersey 76kg A class.

This was matched quite a while ago but wanted to wait until Jake fought Soloman on his home show. Unfortunately Jake sustained an injury to his shin when Soloman blocked his low kick and lost the fight by TKO. Jake tells me it was a great fight and very close until that point. Well done Soloman.

#supersexymuaythai

looks superb ,goodluck

Thanks John, just following your example..

Panicos Yusuf talks about his upcoming World Title challenge on August 30th.

it just gives that little bit extra to a show bringing foriegners over,i also think panicos deserves top fights and not really against uk fighters.

Panicos, Dean & Dan are all matched against tough credible opponents. No one is coming over to ' roll over '.

Great day in Widnes today. 3 local businesses with total of 57 staff all coming the show for a 'work's night out' and also great deal with Widnes Vikings rugby team for their players and coaching staff to come. All extremely excited to see Muay Thai for the 1st time.

The Ringside seats have been a popular addition this time and will be adding more so another 20 available.

4 weeks to go.......

The MAIN CARD:

WORLD TITLE:
Panicos Yusuf UK v Ruben Almeida Portugal

WORLD TITLE:
Dean James UK v Brandon Vieira France

Two of the most exciting fighters the UK has ever seen.

Panicos is a very exciting fighter, a great showman and entertainer. A big crowd pleaser and a fighter everyone loves to see. His skills are out of this world and improving each fight. Last fight was more like a stroll in the park due to the devastating clinch clinic he put on.

Dean is a quiet, reserved gentleman who does all his talking in the ring!! Probably not getting the recognition he deserves at times, Dean is the most clinical fighter you will see! He is the best in the UK at his weight and highly ranked in the World. This is a massive opportunity to see this technician at work. Don't miss it!!

Thanks Steve, appreciate the nice comment.

Couple of changes to the fight card:
Due to injury, Bart Tweed who replaced Reece Crooke, has had to withdraw and now after hard work and plenty of phone calls, a new opponent has been found for Andy Hughes who will now compete under K1 rules.
Due to personal reasons, Bruno Almeida will be replacing Ruben Almeida. Very unfortunate circumstances but Bruno has had over 50 fights and last fought 4 weeks ago and is fit and ready to go. Bruno KO'd Rui Briceno who fought Luke Turner this year in 2 rounds.
All other fights are still on so will be a fantastic show with the likes of Panicos Yusuf, Dean James, Dan McGowan all ready to fight and show why they are the best in the UK.
Tickets still available from fighters up to the weigh in.

Long and tiring weigh in with both the French and Portuguese teams being delayed 2-3 hours, all weighed in and we have a full card on.

Doors open at 2.30pm and 1st fight 3.30pm.

Tickets available on the door but only about 20 Standard/Junior.

Unfortunately my internet has been down all day yesterday so unable to post on Facebook or weigh in pictures. Problem with IPhone and unable to get any internet access.

Huge thanks to all fighters yesterday and especially Panicos, Dean and Dan who had to wait for their opponents due to delays.

Thanks to all who attended the show. Was a fantastic event and ran so smoothly.

Some great fights on the show with the Undercard producing some really crackers right up to the Main Card which was filled with toe to toe crowd pleasing battles.

Macauley Coyle v Alexis Font was out of this world and probably fight of the night for me!! 2 fighters who showed so much heart.

The venue was packed out right til the end and the crowd Dean James attracts were awesome. Really lifted him to victory over an awkward Brandon Vieira.

I do echo what paulinthailand says though, this show did not the attention it deserves which is a shame for the fighters and the team who worked so hard to put the show together. To not sound to negative, seems unless you are in the right 'click' in this sport and kiss arse, it doesn't make a difference what card you produce.

Great show, great support off certain gyms, very poor off others and great event.

Thank you for a special night......

Craig Nield

What can i say Craig what a show top dollar ,Great match ups and my son how can a man be so proud of an 18 year old man fighting at this level, very tough opponent but the heart of Macauley lasted to the end ,what a gym Mac comes from up and coming UK best and World best, Best Coach in UK Liam Robinson.
