Was a very exciting fight, started off very fast pace both were fit and sharp and went non stop for 5 rounds. To be honest both performed better than i thought they would and above their level of a handful of pro fights, no doubt at all this was worthy of an area title or even an English.
As Damain says both him and Pindi asked me who i thought had won and i said to Pindi it was a very close fight and hard for me to tell from the corner, i had pindi definitely ahead going into the 5th round from some of the body kicks he was landing when Nathan was punching, ive no argument at all that Nathan won the 5th round but im unsure as to weather he did enough to turn the bout around, Nathan scored with punches and with a low kick as they were showing clear effect. Atmosphere was electric and both fighters such nice guys, Nathan came to say thank you to us and Pindis crowd lifted him up in the air and were cheering his name, i cant wait to see the DVD. Totally lost my voice from shouting at the 3 i cornered but it was hard to be heard in the last bout. Would make an excellent rematch considering there are no draws in title bouts.
Massive thank you to Steve for the oppourtunity and to Nathan for a fight that Pindi will have learnt more from than all of his previous bouts collectively.
It was a top show, i was very proud of young Sams performance against a bigger older opponent with real KO power who has taken out a couple of guys completely. Really cool and great timing from Sam and showed killer instict to finish his man off when he had him rocked.
Damian il go halves with you on some throat sweets, im feeling it today.
Bring back WMTO, Steves association was the best and lets use laceup gloves please! Dont let kickboxing kill our sport.
