The Kelham Hall show and Dean Sugdens preparations exceeded people expectations yet again!
The fight matching was excellent. I watched Steve Swinburn last night in the European clash and it ended up as a split decision to Scott Taylor. In a fight of this calibre it was a shame for it to end like this (A split). I personally think Steve was in the best shape I have ever seen him with great footwork, ringcrat, accuracy and great composure and timing. I respect Scott immensely and have followed his success from a young age. There was nothing in it on the score cards and I am sure some of the spectators at Newark thought Steve had done enough, as they announced it was a split, the wait for the result was painful and seemed to last two minutes or more. I hope Steve comes back from this even stronger, you fought like a real warrior, be proud of yourself! All the best. CJP.
Leif Taggart and Greg Darmon finalised a great weekend! White Scorpion Professional Fight Management had three fighters out and three wins!
Marlon Hunt obtaining Two World titles yesterday in a fantastic 12 round double sanctioned thriller in Ipswich, Greg Darmon making his comeback after a long lay off, last night at Kelham hall he did enough to secure a points victory and has now seen what he has got to work on before his next fight.
Leif Taggart was making his last appearance in full contact last night. He will now be going over to just Thai and all the low kick and knee orientated sports.
He had been training every weekend with myself and Kerry-Louise for this fight and we hope he appeared as a much stronger and technical Leif than that of the past in this discipline although he has always had great style.
Leif not only won the British Title fight against title holder Lewis Fallon, but he was presented overall fighter of the night. What an achievement.
Kru David Mc Robb has already agreed Leifs next fight (Thai) towards the end of this year!
Lewis came out of the fight with an unfortunate injury and Both Leif and I would like to wish Lewis all the best. He is a very likeable character and we are all sportsmen and although we wanted the win we would never wish an injury on anyone. Lewis, you have fought the best, Leif has a mature fighting brain and has been worked at a very high rate lately, you should be commended for looking for such a tough challenge for your defence.
Leif Taggart, sheer class last night...... a great performance! We couldn't have asked for more off you.
Regards CJP.
