Well done Lee Markham

Hope other people got to see the bout last night from York Hall. Lee Markham boxed the 'Latvian Hammer' Valerijs Mikalaskas. The 'hammer' had won all his amateur bouts by KO and apparently his 4 pro fights within 90 seconds. He swore before the bout that Lee would not go past 90 seconds.
Well! Markham did better than that; he took the sting from the latvian and body punched him out of there. After one knockdown the 'Hammer' aimed a kick at Lee; after one horrible body attack the latvian brought his knee right up against him to protect himself.
A very good result and from a boxer I'd not seen before; Respect to Lee Markham - an excellent boxer and a real handful, hope he's back on TV soon.

Some good contests on Goodwins' show, Dillian Whyte was a bit disrespectful, should save the arrogance for a World title fight. The Hammer got hammered!

It was a good show Bronx; I'd not seen anyone but Holden before but they were all fit, game and very capable. If those are represenative of the shows he puts on then he needs a massive
I really enjoyed it, (the dancing girls in the ring were a bit surreal though).

First time I'd seen Whyte and Markham and a few others. Looking forward to the rest of Olivia's shows on Primtime. Was a bit surreal, but quality of the birds was high!

Maybe "surreal" but different. We like to do things differently.
The atmosphere at York Hall was fantastic. Electric at times.
We want to bring this to boxing fans rather than staid stuff where continual prospcet v journeyman fights.
I love it and theres more to come on December 8th.

And Lee Markham was fantastic.
Exciting all action fighter. Never scared of a challenge. I am proud of him and he is such a nice human being as well.

Very entertaining show, really like the way way they matched a few young ambitious novice proffessionals against each other, very refreshing and made for some cracking fights.

This is what it's all about, for me. Most of the matchups were known about a month before. If you look at undercards from certain other promoters, its all TBA this and TBA that right up until fight night.
