The show was great, the venue was superb, teh figths were good and well matched. I probably would not have bothered with the demo's, but you need some breaks.
Didn't see al the fights but those I did, Panikos had to endure a torid time with the agressive Darran Cashman, esp in the 4th, but took a good points win.
Leroy looked good and stronger than before from the bits I saw of his fight.
Duwao was aboslute class, so much time, and so strong!!
Andy howson used his get out of jail card. he turned the figth round in the space of 30 or so secs. he took a count from a good jumping knee in the first, caught the Thai with some good boxing in the 2nd, but the Thai seemed to have recovered and swas scoring well and just seemed to die. A couple of knees and a left body kick started the trouble and a peach of a left body hook finished him off.
Andy Thrasher I think put in his best performance to date to loose a split decision against the current wmc Euro champion. I think he won the fight, he landed to many good body kicks and knees. He was put down for a count with a spinning back fist but was not hurt, he got up and took the fight to the French lad, winning the round apart from the knock down. This hsould make the round 10-9 loss not 10-8. He was moved backwards of a push kick, spun and kneed once as he was going down. he did take a few good low kicks, but the punches he got hit with were not hurting him, even the one that knocked his gum shield out, The rst of the fight was his, to many good body kicks. AS a rule I am negative in the corner and tend to think we have lost in close figths, but I think we got ths one and can't wiat to see the video. I am not really bothered about the loss becaue at least we know Andy can mix it with guys of this class.
We want a rematch!!! It was superb fight!
Liam was class. I was a bit worried to start with, I thought Liam looked a bit tense and the fight was gonna slip away from him, esp when he chucked his gum shield out. At the start it was as if he was looking for the punch ko, but as soon as he started to Thai box, throw the body kicks and even knees (to a giant) he looked the stronger fighter. Nice body hooks opened him up and the finish was clinical! Excellant result.
The venue and the show raise the mark again I think for UK Thai Boxing
