Thanks for the comments lads. And thanks to Dale and Paul Henessey for putting on the show and to Dale, Chris, and Craig for training me for this fight.

Its true i'd missed a week and a halfs training very close to the bout due to the flu but this didn't affect me that much except that my sparring was limited so it took me a couple of rounds to find my range but whle i was messing about loading up and not feeling things out Nigel was fighting a very good fight so credit needs to go to Nigel who was well prepared and following his fight plan. As usual tho i settled and found my range and the power told. Have seen the video and i felt i won the first, lost the second and then obviously won the third. My fitness was good and i was settled by the third and would've continued to get better from there however once the shots that were missing in the second started landing that was that.

Credit goes to Nigel for a strong performance and to Amir for geting Nigel into fantastic shape, ive no doubt he'l be back and will shake things up as he is a much improved fighter over the last 6 months. Have to say Nigel was huge at the weight and looks a lot bigger than me on the clips ive seen of the fight! Will be back down at 78 next time out and 75kg is definately beckoning. Woke up this morning at 78.3kg!!

Congrats to Jack Clay who was awesome and hard luck to Ben Seddon who had the fight won before suffering a freak injury! Qas as usual was electric, its ridiculous how good he is and when you consider his age its frightening!!
