Great show last night, Big well done to John Love, Was really pleased with Steve Hamiltons performances, He hadn`t fought for over seven years and only fought 3 times then at 82kilo. Hopefully he will go from strengh to strengh as I feel people only got to see 50 percent of what he is capable of.
Going toe to toe with the 20 kilo heavier Nasty Naz probably wasn,t one of his better idea`s and it cost him heavly in the next two fights as both shins were damaged.Alex Gould was awsome and looked 100 percent better than he had in the first fight inflicting even more damage to Steves legs but then that spinning backfist in the second round made the point scoreing unecessary so onto the final we went.By now his legs were a mess adding to hand injuries he had before the tournament worstening and I seriously considerd pulling him out, but not wanting to let the promoter and the fans down we decided to chance it .After two knockout wins John was alot fresher in the final and after an even first round he made the breakthrough catching Steve on the break then raining in punches forceing a stoppage victory again well done John.
Its ashame there hasn,t been more interest on here with this show as it was a cracking night with all 8 fighters giveing their all in every fight and nobody trying to conserve themselves for later rounds (much I`m sure to all the trainers displeasures : )) Every fight was fought like it was the final,
Finally a big thank you to Paul Hennassy for putting this on and unearthing some new heavyweight talent in this country.
