First of all thank you very much To Master Sken for his hospitality, the seats we had were possibly the best in the house I really can thank you enough.

The show itself took our beloved sport to a new level, it was a great idea to do away with the ritual dance it allowed the show to flow better, the production on the event was outstanding, the dancers and pyros really boosted the atmosphere and I loved the short clips prior to the fights.

Every fight was a potential headline bout on any other show and each lived up to the hype. My personal views on the fights, Stuart Kemp was great I’m chuffed for both him and Mick Tobin who is really punting out great fighters, Simon Chu, I haven’t seen him fight for years some of my guys trained with him in BKK last year and told me he was a monster my god were they right, he was blowing some steam in the fifth but some of the shots he hit Daiton with prior to that were fkn nasty. Jordan was as always beautiful to watch I can wait to see him fight Baukaw.
I felt sorry for Kieran, I was close to his corner and could see he was having difficulty with his left calf prior to the fight, his movement kicking and kneeing seemed restricted which I believe cost him the fight, got to give him the credit for getting through the 5 rounds.
Dean James was superb I was gonna stick money on him on beluckytote but never got round to it, to be fighting and winning at that level after so few fights is amazing.
Was the second time I’ve saw Damien fight live and he doesn’t disappoint, a really close fight but the wee man was just that little bit in front,
Dixie, I love watching him fight have done for a few years now, this for me was the fight of the night, prior to last night I think he would have been proud just to last 5 rounds with Bovy as the fight progressed he saw the win and by the fifth he smelt the stoppage which he nearly got, Bovy is tough as old boots and Michael rocked him, you could see the emotion and the realisation of what he had accomplished in his face at the end of the fight I’m so made up for him.
Liam’s fight was clinical and close, he showed again why he is the best fighter ever to come from the UK.

The whole event was full of drama and excitement, no fight was easily predictable and a lot of the favourites (Bovy, Anuwat, howson et al) were beaten, this is what the MT scene need, their was criticism after the last event that the fights would not make good TV (notably the storey bout) as they were one sided, this may have had an element of truth as the non MT fans may not have appreciated this. However last nights event had “local” lads fighting against the odds and winning, this is think will make for great TV, viewers will be able to identify with the fighters and go along with/buy into the success, hopefully generating more tickets sales and sponsorship.

Thank you again to Master Sken for his hospitality, Credit must go to Dan Green who pulled it all together last night and should be so proud of what he has accomplished and should take a rest for a couple of days, (however I bet he’s on the blower today working on the next event). And also Swee Lip who I had the pleasure of sharing a table with last night it’s the first time I’ve met him he is a gentleman and he kept Loopy Lou off my back all night lol.

The crowd was great last night however their were a few empty seats, I really believe that we as a community should get behind these events, lets get them sold out and raise the profile guys,

Well done again and I’ll see you all in London
