Was turning into a really good fight.

Whole production of the show on Saturday was terrible. pa and music absolutely shite and barely audible. Only managing 4 fights in first three hours. Sticking the butler fight on between between the quality middleweight fight and the main event. Ending up after midnight throwing fights on - were there any boxers not getting out?

Shame, because a really good crowd for a warren show (and paid too, not Comps) and some decent boxing.
Agreed, can't see that dj ever getting work again. At 1 stage I seen the floor manager go to him to tell him to put the ring music on, absolutely amateurish. Was a poor night logistics wise, fortunately the main event and Langford/Taylor saved it from being a disaster

He was blinking non stop from the knockdown to the finish of the fight.je caught matty with a couple of shots,but I wouldn't say he was getting into the fight.it was only going one way for me,an askin win.

He was cut, bound to be blinking. Not saying he was in anyway winning the round but he was defo improving which might've made it interesting. The good thing for him is he can re-build and not lose confidence with the cut causing the stoppage.
He was blinking a lot before the cut as well,after the knockdown.
I hope and I'm sure he can comeback from the defeat.
