What a show!
Big thanks firstly to Dan, Laura, Swee Lip and Fui Mee for once again having me to present this event.
Buakaw has been something of an idol of mine so to meet and then introduce him was an honour and a priviledge.
When I started MC'ing 21 months ago, I would never have believed that in less than two years I'd be introducing the BIGGEST fight in UK Muay Thai history. I'm extremely grateful to everyone at 'Muay Thai Premier League' for the opportunity.
The UKMF officials were GREAT on Saturday night and having Louis there to help relay information between production, officials and promoters really helped keep the show running smoothly.
You've all already seen just a scattering of pictures above but I have to say that Michael (Basil the Fox) and Pete (Event Photography and Printing) make a sterling double act. Pete with his boundless enthusiasm, marketing, live updates and great shots, Michael with his superb timing and movement makes his action photography the best I've ever seen.
Jordan v Buakaw lived up to the hype and expectation (and in many peoples eyes I think Jordan may have surpassed expectations). I totally agree with Dan, the only other fight I've seen with such atmosphere was Liam v Saenchai.
Jordan was simply stunning on Saturday night, he gave Buakaw one hell of a fight. Jordan is a special talent and will no doubt be a big star on the international circuit. I think that mentally preparing for Buakaw in his first ever 'superfight' must have been the hardest thing he'll ever do. Knowing that he CAN trade with the best there is will give him so much confidence for future superfights. Souwer, Krauss, Masato etc look out!
What a night for KO gym too! Well done.
I'm becomming increasingly conscious of how big this post is and I could go on and on.
Again, big thanks to everyone involved and to all the spectators for making it such a memorable event.
I doubt we'll ever see Buakaw here again so for everyone who made it there on Saturday, enjoy the memories, I know I will!
With Respect
