The main event of the Evening
Scott ‘Title Taker’ Allan, Wishaw V Anwar Al Fadli, Sheffield 6 X2 minute rounds at Bantamweight
Scott Allan was a World Kickboxing Champion, and at the age of 21 he has turned to Professional Boxing under the guidance of Alex Morrison.
The boxers made their way to the ring to the tune of Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond). Fadli was in the ring like a bolt of lightning. Allan strolled his way through the crowd surrounded by 2 show girls dressed like swans, all feather and lace; it was a sight to behold. He then climbed the stairs and jumped over the top rope with relative ease. What an entrance! It was about as flamboyant as Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand.
Fadli started proceedings with two straight punches. A solid jab from Allan was the beginning of an assault to the body and head. Fadli was complaining to the referee about a rabbit punch. Allan immediately moved in with a thumping straight left and overhand right, stalking his man. Fadli attempted a left screw shot to the head, But Allan replied immediately with a right uppercut. Allan was dominating the fight, pinning his man in the neutral corner and letting go. He doubled up with a three punch combination that was bang on the button. Allan was content to throw straight jabs followed by overhand rights in the 4th, Fadli was seemingly nonexistent. Allan was showing good footwork and lateral movement throughout the fight, he looked harder to catch than Sir Chris Hoy. By the 5th Allan was regularly throwing an assortment of punches that were improving every round. Fadli resorted to throwing clubbing, wild shots that would have landed just shy of neighbouring town Motherwell. In the 6th Allan landed a hard left hook that staggered his man; he followed up instinctively with three punches that floored Fadli. The referee never scored it as a knockdown. Allan did receive a warning for rabbit punching, but a straight one-two and a double left hook brought the contest to an end.
The referee scored the contest 60-54 in favour of debutant Scott ‘Title Taker’ Allan

Michael Jameson, Irvine V William Warburton, Atherton 4 X 3 minute rounds at Welterweight
Guns and Roses ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ blasted out as the two boxers made their entrance.
A devastating four punch combination from Jameson saw Warburton bounce off the ropes before hitting the canvass like a pallet of bricks. Once again it was not scored as a knockdown. Jameson followed his man like a shadow repeatedly letting go three punch combinations to the head and body. Jameson trapped his man in the neutral corner unleashing venomous shots to the head and body. Warburton soaked everything Jameson could throw at him like a sponge. Warburton showed great resilience after the bell rang. A stinging left jab from Jameson, and a destructive right hand resulted in a good exchange from both boxers. Jameson landed with a flush straight one-two that was returned in kind. Warburton hit the target with a good left hook before the bell rang. It’s only fair to say Jameson completely bossed the 3rd with a string of punches that were mainly targeting the body. Warburton had his best round in the 4th that began with a stiff jab. Jameson threw a shower of punches in Warburton’s corner. A solid right to the body by Jameson got a reaction from Warburton who continued punching until the bell rang.

Ally Black, Kirkintillock V Youssef Al Hamidi, Dewsbury 4 X 3 minute rounds at Light-Welterweight
‘Sexy And I Know It’ LMFAO got the fans attention when the fighters made their way to the ring.
Both boxers stood sizing each other up for a moment. Black began working behind the jab and overhand right, bringing in body and head shots. In fact, Black was the only one working until Hamidi landed to the head and body followed by a double left hook before the bell. A left hook and a right hand by Black started the 2nd. Black went back on the jab, picking his man off, finding his range. Black threw an outrageously strong, thumping right to the body. A good exchange from both boxers led to an explosive right hand by Black that sent his man spinning to the canvass at great speed. The referee got to the count of 8 before the bell saved Hamidi. It was an intense minute in the corner for hamidi, who sat there looking like the glass was half empty. Black was now in total command, picking his shots at will. Hamidi tried to fight back, but the sheer workrate of Black was too much for the diminishing Hamidi. Black was pouring on the pressure, Hamidi was in survival mode. A straight jab and overhand right square on the chin of Hamidi before the final bell summed up a one-sided contest.

Scott McCormack, Glasgow V Francis Croes, Middlesbrough 4 X 3 minute rounds at Bantamweight
Clubland Classix ‘Your A Superstar’ (Love Inc) Belted out as the fighters made their way to the ring.
McCormack came off the jab flowing into combinations varying up to six punches, he was relentless. Croes threw the occasional single and double shots to the body. McCormack continued to utilize his velocity of combinations, and rocked Croes with a straight jab and an overhand right. If Croes had a work rate, it was definitely slowing down. The supremacy of McCormack was falling like darkness on Croes, who resorted to bobbing and weaving while he was well out of range. McCormack piled it on in the 3rd, while Croes just kept smiling at him. A black and blue mouse began to appear under the right eye of Croes. There was no let up by McCormack who looked like he was really enjoying himself. Croes did manage a resounding right to the body. Croes sat in his corner with a worsening black eye before the bell sounded for the last round. I didn’t see Croes throw a punch in the last. It was pure domination from McCormack who was throwing more combinations than a six figured sum.

Adam McKenzie, Motherwell V Garry Reeve, Gateshead 6 X 2 minute rounds at Flyweight
McKenzie went straight on the trusty jab, doubling it up, and targeting the body. Reeve connected with a jab and overhand right that cut McKenzie above the left eye. McKenzie landed a straight left-right bang on target. McKenzie’s corner did a great job on the eye. McKenzie threw a neat left hook followed by a cracking overhand right. Both boxers fought their way out of a clinch. Another firm left hook from McKenzie. Reeve caught McKenzie with a good left hook of his own that caught his man off balance. McKenzie stepped up a gear in the 3rd, notably landing two good straight left-right’s simultaneously. Reeve could only muster a swinging left hook. The 4th round was looking a bit more even, although McKenzie did land a three punch combination that staggered Reeve. McKenzie looked anxious throughout the fight, but had a great 5th round landing heavy shots, and by far the majority. Reeve came back fighting in the 6th, there was blood dripping from McKenzie’s left eye. Another good exchange before Reeve shook McKenzie with a left hook. McKenzie came straight back with a variety of shots finishing the stronger man.
The referee scored the fight 58-56 in favour of debutant Adam McKenzie
Christine Morrison told me to sit across on the other side of the ring next to where her dad (Alex Morrison) was sitting. I took my seat along the row right next to the ring. It was a bit of a tight squeeze. Just before the first contest I felt this knee in my back. I swivelled round, and it was none other than WBO World Champion Ricky Burns taking his seat, right behind me. I immediately shook hands, and passed a few pleasantries. Then I got down to business.
The show was a massive success, and the fans were brilliant.
