OK here goes, massive thanks firstly to Brad from Benfleet, Mark Wilson and Ste Cullen from Kirby, Stevenage Bodypower Fighters, GM Goff Bates and his team, Mark Barlow Assasins, Martin from NMT, Jon Graham and Tim Thomas Naksoo, Barrington Patterson, Pete & Assistant from Event Photography, Dean James, Surj Singh, Chris Podesta and Shaun Boland who was a top quality referee and didnt put a foot wrong all night top man.Everyone was well looked after and said their boxers enjoyed the event which is the main thing, i must apologise for it kicking off at 5pm not 4pm this was due to the ring hire guy doing one to luton as he said he had better cornerposts yet he turned his phone off and was supposed to be back at 3pm! We took the ones off the ring at the gym and they were fine but caused an hour delay as we taped them up like a mummy in the gym!Some cracking future talent on display from northampton, i was particularly pleased for Tom Hendle who recorded his first win for a while, he always takes hard fights and gives away weight and experience and he fought a very strong lad from liverpool who fought Antuans brother Leo Siangboxing aka Leo Pinto etc last year. Big Thank you to Martin from NMT who took the fight for little Liam who was a good 4kg lighter and less experienced than opponent but did himself and his gym proud and earned some valuable ring experience.
Evan Jay v Danny Hendle was class, Evan shorter and stocky was 0.5kg heavier than Dan but Dan much taller and used to his advantage with some lovely knees in the clinch. The lads from Benfleet were very well schooled and a lot of experience in the corner Mason showed excellent heart to keep kicking with his leg that was hanging off from round 1 lol fortunately he stayed strong and held position scoring well with body kick and knee to win a close pts decision, Dan was very tough and game and made a nice mess of masons lips with those 8oz Reyes ;-)
I think we managed to more than cover everyones expenses and did our best to look after the officials with refreshments, im sure ive caught up with everyone but if anyone is short on anything just give us a ring. Thanks.
Did you go speakeasy? no snakes or tricks just a couple of ring girls this time and a bit of camoflage decoration.
