How ye lads, Report on its way to Cormac's site. Garcia was so good in his 105-seconds that it is frightening to think how good he can be. Poor oul' Tarvydas looked like he was gonna get the gush after the first body shot floored him. Controversy at the end of the Perez fight. The body shot that floored Duiven Jr was borderline, but it was legal. Trainer Duiven Sr hit the roof, effing and blinding about cheating. Truth was his boy was in trouble from the start. Perez was in superb, superb condition - I've never seen him look as good. McCrory has made a difference, that's for sure. Lads, that Jamie Power could be our very own Arturo Gatti. It was a six-round war with Kukuls - Jamie is a born entertainer. He was in big trouble at the end of round three, and only barely survived. Got better after and showed some good skills on the inside, with good work to the body too. He may not be good enough to win any major titles, but I'd pay a fortune to see him headline any day. Brilliant entertainment for myself and Paddy.
