What a brilliant show!
Simon, still can't believe that was your first promotion mate, National Press, Title Bouts, A Class Bouts, International bouts, Liam Harrison on the card etc etc etc... you certainly like to hit the ground running.

Simon, you are such a top bloke and it shows in the way your team at saphire pulled together to help with your first promotion. Everyone wanted it to be a success and they were not disappointed. There is a kind of family closeness within your camp that is inspiring and you should be proud.

On to the fights.

Davy Mac was exceptional. Clinical, calculated, composed his performance was outstanding. I'm so proud of him and I too can only echo the above comments that he has done everything he needs to do regards his place in the rankings and he is definitely due a title shot.

Davy...You'll be a great and worthy champion mate and you'll have done it the hard way, ducking no-one, taking on the hard challenges, the best opponents and often without having had a proper fight camp. You have the warrior spirit and that's what it's all about.

Jordan Calder needed that one, definitely his toughest test since Jonno last Oct. Darren is a cracking young fighter who gave Jordan a hard time and I predict big things for him also.
Not wishing to take anything away from young Darren, you didn't look your usual self on Saturday night but you stuck in and put enough together to take a points victory. Having an off night and taking a win...that's what champions do!

Liam Harrison, as an MC / Ring Announcer but first and foremost a Muay Thai fan, it truly was an honour to introduce to the ring one of the best fighters on the planet. Your opponent was outgunned, no question, that said... being used to seeing you mix it with the top fighters in the world (Saenchai, Anuwat, Namphon, Somkorn, Sarmsamut etc) it was good to be reminded just HOW good you are. Clinical and devastating finish mate, well done.

Great to meet so many new faces and also to catch up with some old ones.

I was gutted for young Connor McEwan who lost his title bout against the extremely talented Darren Till, both fighters have big things ahead of them and well done Darren.

Sorry this post is so long but I'm almost finished, lol, I promise.

In conclusion, I just want to give a heart felt thanks firstly to Simon for giving me the opportunity to present my first show south of the border, and secondly to everyone who came and made it the show that it was.

You've said some really kind things on here, in person, by phone or by text and I appreciate all the feedback and positive comments.
I only want to get better though so I will always appreciate critical feedback equally.
As for "best in uk", I'm not sure about that but even to get a mention is hugely flattering.
As a Ring Announcer I'm far from being the finished product but I care enough about the job and the sport to WANT to be better, to WANT to be the best.

Once again, thanks everyone.
Much love
