If I could say one thing about 'Supershowdown', it would be that it was most definitely an event. Of the many fights, there were only a handful of stand-outs, though those particular fights were so dramatic, that they have forced me to write, quickly, what I thought of them:

Firstly, Kris Addis was incredible. Barton came out very strong and caught Kris with a well-timed spinning elbow, which had him nearly defenceless for the first three minutes (what brilliant heart he showed to survive!) This incredible act of bravery, however, was superseded by what one can only describe as the will to win: Kris was on fire and so too was the entire crowd. With sheer determination, Kris clawed back every inch and stopped Jake with a flurry of knees and elbows.

Stephen Meleady and Chris Shaw was the second stand out fight. Meleadys kick (which seems almost inhumanely powerful), forced Chris into the clinch, which I thought (at first) was a very bad mistake as Meleady is known for his exceptional clinching prowess. Chris however, did very well and the whole fight was one of attrition. Both did brilliantly, but Meleady gritted through, and I was thoroughly impressed.

Then came Darren O'Connor. For those who question Doc's durability (I don't think there are many), I was elated to see him soak up an awe-inspiring barrage in the first round - and in the second! - and then to bring back the fight. By the fourth, I thought the fight even, and as Darren won the last, I was sure he had done enough to win it. There aren't many fighters that could take such punishment, and then bring back the fight. Kudos.

The end of Yokkao twelve saw Jordan Watson take on Sanny Dahlbeck and, though I have some small confidence in my abilities as a writer, it seems apparent, even to me, that to truly describe this fight, I would require at least ten times the eloquence I possess. Jordan is simply the best fighter in the country. His heart and his power are supreme, and each shot that he landed (or Sanny landed in response) seemed, both vicious and accurate. Each shot was so hurtful, in-fact, that I was surprised either were still standing by the end of the second. And as heart wrenching as it was to see Jordan lose; the heart that he demonstrated will always impress me more than any mere decision.

Keith McLachlan vs Paul Karpowicz started the way I thought it would: Paul was picking his shots very well and utilising his movement (as only he can), and succeeded in frustrating Keith. Keith in the second landed a few heavy kicks, though Paul was still in front, and was, by all appearances, beginning to take control of the fight. In (I think?) the third, as Paul was against the ropes, Keith threw a savage head kick that caught Paul clean in the middle of his face. The fight was stopped because of the damage. I will add that the commentaries on social media (from both fighters fans) have been a little unfair, though some of the people that are seemingly glad of Paul's injuries are certainly the worst of them. It's probably also worth mentioning that Keith's kick was completely legal, and he won the fight fairly.

Liam Harrison vs Pakorn was, perhaps, the most technical fight I've had the pleasure to witness. Liam's left kick is one of the (if not thee!) best kicks in the sport and he used it stunningly, showing how good he really is (Liam is one of those rare fighters that surprise you each time you see them, such is the brilliance of his technique and speed.) Though I'm not a judge, I thought the fight was close going into the fifth, and Pakorn was wrong to disengage. Admittedly, I thought Pakorn was ahead but the fight was too close to play around in the last. Liam is a legend, and from the (Oasis) entrance to the time he steps out of the ring, you cannot help but be enthralled.
