Well done to Master Sken for putting on yet another quality show, it's a long drive down and back for us Scots but always worth it. I never noticed any of the abusive 'chants' myself, but it must have been from a very small proportion of the crowd as we never feel 'unwelcome' at Master Skens shows.
Highlights for me were Colin Johnson vs David Barlow and Michael Dicks vs Azdin Amazian.
Johnson vs Barlow was a good old 'edge of your seat' battle, with the fight swinging one way then the other with some hard shots being thrown, and taken by both men.
Michael Dicks was devastating as usual, there's no-one in the UK at the moment I'd rather pay money to watch, he makes great fighters look average, not just by knocking them into next week, but also by looking completely unimpressed with anything he gets hit by!
We came away with 2 losses, which although dissapointing, came from 2 very tough fights.
Darren Brady, despite his massive size is still a young lad, and was nervous about fighting on such a prestigious show, he was getting off some powerful low kicks but got caught with too many heavy hand combinations and couldn't get his knees off in the clinch, which he usually excells at. He'll learn a lot from the loss and will be back bigger(!) and better next time.
Any one who knows Stevie Patterson knows that he is a hard, aggressive fighter and fights with the heart of 10 men, his tear up with James France last year was an absolute cracker, one of the fights of 2006, and Stevie would fight that type of fight every week given the opportunity, however Jordan's perfect timing and superb throws in the clinch nullified Stevie's style and never really allowed him to do what he does naturally. Jordan Watson is a great talent who deserves the hype he is receiving and I reckon he will go on to dominate the 70k category in the near future.
