Well done Nash and Danny for putting on another very good show.
I thought this one ran more smoothly than the last.
I thought Dale's fight was excellent(or rather his performance was excellent). For me this was an even better performance than his win against Paulo on the last WBC show. Dale put on a brilliant performance winning in the end with a knee to the head (I think he dropped his Belarussian opponent three times in all). He used some sharp punches to move imto the clinch. Well done Dale and Dean.
Kieran's opponent DanThai was very, very good (number one channel 7). I thought Kieran should be proud of his performance, he fought bravely and showed good spirit by trying to take the fight to DanThai. At no time did Kieran look to be in trouble. He did catch DanThai with some good punches and one or two elbows but was constantly scored on by DanThai's strong body kicks. DanThai was also strong in the clinch. However, while Kieran did get outscored with knees, actually he held his own reasonably well and didn't get thrown around (I think he only got thrown once). The WBC judges correctly had DanThai winning most of the rounds. I personally gave Kieran a share of round one but had him losing the other four rounds. One judge agreed with me, with one judge gave every round to DanThai and the other gave one round to Kieran and four to DanThai. I was personally very pleased to see MuayThai scoring criteria used by WBC officials on this show and not 'Superleague style' scoring.
DavyMac, Howard lost on points. He did keep attacking with punches and had some success but was scored on by body kicks and knees.
Although I didn't take too much notice of the very early fights, I thought the judging on the undercard I saw was spot on. Well done Jess and co.
