Thank you to everyone involved last night.
Referee, Mike Belgrave, Warren fryer, Winston Gordon & Pete Richards who judged, Otis Belgrave & Dean Perks who kick counted, Nick Aish, timekeeper & mini Dean Perks who did a fine job of being on charge of the trophies!
Cannot go on without thanking the spectators, who absolutely raised the roof for most of the night!
Ok, well, where do we start with the fighters!
Craig Carter vs Jake Richards is possibly the best fight I have ever seen! Craigs movement was phenomenal – can’t remember seeing anyone move so superbly – he is officially the matrix! Not only was he moving, but he was connecting with clean strong shots throughout, Jake imposed pressure & was absolute class from start to finish. Both lads where strong, quick, technical, fit, tough – fantastic fight!
Out of the 3 judges, one went to jake, one went to craig & one went draw – feedback from respected instructors/judges in the crowd was split down the middle, which is unusual, and indicates that the decision was what is was.
Qasim’s fight was short & sweet, with a ko in the second round. The German camp were more than happy, leaving on a good note putting it out that they would put Fufu with that standard of opponent again happily.
Rob was brilliant, Steven Cook is very tough, he took some heavy shots and stayed in the fight throughout – really good fight (from what I saw!).
Adam Stretton had a tough fight for his title – Hamza would have given anyone a hard hard fight! Well done Adam, a deserved win.
Darren Chan & Dean Petty displayed a very good pro standard fight loved Darrens style, and Dean is very very tough!
Particular thanks to Sukhy & Micheal – is was nice to have Sukhy tested (sorry sukhy, I don’t mean that in a bad way, but from a spectators view its exciting!). Close fight & great entertainment.
Actually, have to just say that for the first time in a while, the pro fights were very obviously at my expectation of what level a pro fighter should be performing at. It was really nice for spectators who did not know who the fighters were to be entertained, and for it to be obvious that there is a distinction from the amateurs.
Spartans, its the first time I have had you down, great camp of fighters, I can now see where you get your reputation from!
Next show October 4th – already started matching, so please get in touch sooner rather than later if you have weights.
