I put the results up briefly on www.badcompany.co.uk last night.
Mark Charles and Tony Bassnet both from Kaobon fought Russians, as well as Liam Harrison (Bad Company) and Neil Woods (Kaobon).

The Russians were (as expected) really good. Very tough, well schooled and looked like they spend a lot of time in Thailand judging by the quality of their Wai Kru and technique.

Tony Bassnet and Mark Charles were stopped - both by punchinng. Bassnet struggled in the clinch. Liam won on points in a hell of a fight. Liam landed some shots that would have KO'd a lot of fighters but the Russian just kept coming. It as a good opportunity for Liam to tryout his stuff and he put on an exhibition in the last round. I think he hit him with every elbow in the book. It was a great win and Liam just keeps getting better.

Neil Woods fight was awsome too. The Russian won, and its one of the few times I've seen Neil on the back foot most of the fight. The Russian was very fast and slick and kept coming forward pressuring withsmooth accurate combinations. Neil was never really in trouble, and many fighters would not have lasted, but the Russian was too busy and slick. Great fight.

Altough the English guys didnt get the results, noone lost as they can only get stronger fighting opponents like that. It was good to see a gym/prompters brave enough to bring real quality opponents over for their guys.

DiPaolo looked awsome as usual. Jon Clarke had some success at first and I think it took Christian some time to get to grips with his style, but he finished it with the left hook from hell!

I was pleased with Jordan Watson who also won when his opponent Ryan Collins (Russ Williams gym) didnt come out for the third round. The fight was under low kick rules which the guys in my gym arent really farmiliar with nowadays. He gave him 2 counts in the second in a mature performance. Ryan was brave to take the fight as he in less experienced than Jordan, but both youngsters learned a lot from the fight so its all good.

Very good show in a decent venue with a good crowd and atmophere. Well done and thanks to paul hennessy, Colin Heron and Colin Heron for putting it together.
