And we're under way ...
First bout : Ken Horan v Jack Davis (Marty Cox Gym) DRAW - Full Contact Demo Bout
Honours equal in the first bout after a very cagey first round, opening up in the second with Ken working the kicks to the body and Jack countering on the punches.
Second bout : Johnny Wightman v Dylan Moran (Billy O'Sullivan, Waterford) DRAW - Full contact demo bout
Hard fought fight after Johnny only taking the fight at three hours' notice. Both fighters landing some heavy punches and kicks in the three rounds.
Third bout : Davy Foster WINNER v Dave Mannion (Galway - Ken Horan) - Full Contact 68kg
Honours even in the first round, Davy edging the second round with good combinations of punches, and winning on points over the three rounds as both fighters began to tire at the end
Fourth Fight : Gary Jess WINNER (KO) v Barry Walker (Marty Cox Gym) - Low Kick 95kg
Gary returning after a four year break, off to a flying start putting Barry down early in the first. A frantic fight with both fighters landing some heavy kicks and punches with honours even in the second. Gary landing a knockout series of punches and low kicks at the start of the third.
Fifth Fight : Darren McMullen WINNER (KO) v Jeremy Jossi (Switzerland) - Catchweight Full Contact
Even first round, Darren upping his game in the second then staggering his opponent in the third for a standing count, then finishing the job with a second punch with the towel coming in.
Sixth Bout : David Bird WINNER v Mattio Lo Valvo (Switzerland) - 60kg K1 Style.
Frantic start by Bird and La Valvo with kicks and knees flying, with La Valvo getting a standing 8 count with the hard work continuing from both fighters in the second, Davind landing a jump punch. Third round edged by David with some good low point kicks and winning on points.
Seventh Fight : Stuart Jess WINNER v Sam Ward (Bullring, London) - 69kg Full contact
Tough fight with lots of hard kicking and punching, three frantic rounds with Stuart edging it on points, taking the fight to the Bullring fighter
Fight Eight : Peter Rusk WINNER (referee stopped bout) v Jamie Hopcraft (Bullring, London) - Full Contact Catchweight
Peter totally bossed the first round, referee stepped in to stop the punishment after just over a minute.
Fight Nine : Johnny Smith WINNER v Joe Harte (Billy O'Sullivan, Waterford) - 73kg Low Kick
Excellent work on the low kick and the knee throughout by Johnny saw him a clear winner on points.
Fight Ten : Mark Bird WINNER (KO) v Diego Diserens (Switzerland) - 65kg K1 Style
Stunning right, on just over a minute into the first which staggered Diserens, the towel came in and Bird books his amateur world title shot in Cyprus
Fight Eleven : Gary Hamilton WINNER (corner threw towel in) v Aubrey Tarr - Full Contact Rules
Clear to all that Aubrey was taking too much punishment in a blistering performance by Gary after standing eights in the second and third, a final onslaught in the third saw the referee stop the fight just as the towel was thrown in by Aubrey's corner man.
