Yafai couldnt miss with that counter left hook could he? His timing was perfect. He did the job a lot easier than at the English ABAs. Over the last two setanta shows we have seen Weaver, Heffron, Evans, Reece and Yafai. All class young boxers some of whom will feature in the 2012 games I am sure. Well done to Buncey for bringing this action to the fans. I have thorougly enjoyed it. Hope to see more amateur tournaments on setanta as they give them the in depth coverage that they deserve!

he looked a very smart fighter for a young man,
letting nice combinations go then tucking up to block what was coming at him.
a star for the future, best performance of the knight

Don't know if I agree with that Alex. I loved it.

No journeymen, both boxers doing their very best to win.

Great picture quality, I reckon that Setanta's camera angles seem better than Sky's but maybe I'm talking bollocks. :confused:

No highlights, all the bouts going out live. :TU:

Good commentary team of Rawling and Woodhall with decent post fight interviews from Rob Walker.

BUNCEY :TU: & Andy Kerr, a pretty good double act.

My favourite MC, except Buffer, Craig Stephen.

An absolutely cracking night of boxing from Setanta, I even persuaded the wife to watch Britains Got Talent in the bedroom :DD

Craig Evans did look quality, nice combinations and looked good on the ropes. I have to say when Woodhall made the made the comment about having to grow up fast in pontypool i did chuckle, never a truer word spoken.
