    No mate. All bouts were filmed earlier. I presume in case of what happened with the early stoppage.

    Doors opened at half 6 with the first fight on about 7ish. Don't head to the fridge btw :good

    premature stoppage. i think he would have got it anyway, but amidu could have survived that round

    that was a premature stoppage, but amidu only has himself to blame for being too brave and staying on his feet when he should've took a knee.

    yh thats a good win. stopped a bit to early but i think that's a great first defence. where you guys think he goes from here? there talking about nicky cook i'm not to sure about that but maybe some good domestic clashes.

    nickys too polished for him imo, has the skills of burns, but better ring smarts and power.

    And to think many of you picked this African bum. He couldn't box a lick.

    This is exactly what you expect when you see a guy with a high KO ratio coming out of Africa that ain't beat anyone.

    There is only one Prescott!

    ****ed up on this pick. Picked Amidu based on his result against Funeka, fat load of help that did.

    :lol:

    But we all considered he may have been another Prescott. Huge KO ratio, but against no name bums, he might have been dangerous.

    Often these guys are not taught correctly, and are just relying on punching out bums.

    I think that was evident tonight, that guy couldn't possibly knock out a live body, and he wasn't even as big of a puncher as Prescott, no way near.
