Good night of fights again. Felt the atmosphere was a tad lacking in comparison to previous shows.

Fight Of The Night goes to Ryan Sheehans Irish title effort with Keith Wall. 2 up and comers here. Ryan was pretty comfortable throughout but the punishment Wall took without ever looking close to being stopped was equally impressive. He delivered some crazy leg kicks as well. Hope these 2 kids stick with it as they are huge talents.

T Bob Tinika stopped John Bracken in 24 seconds with a spin kick to the liver. It looked brutal.

Cian Cowley looked an animal Vs Rob Doyle. Next up in the sandee cup for him is Shane O Neill in what will be a monster of a fight between 2 seriously good fighters.

As for the main events - well personal opinion (possibly a touch uneductaed) but I felt Rungravee Vs Pornsanae was a joke. Both went through the motions for long periods drawing big boos from the crowd. never seen that before. Rungravee got the decision. Few around me cared.

As for Saenchai Vs Maleady - I felt Saenchai only left first gear for a while in the 3rd when he showed some serious agression. Aside from that he entertained while completely outclassing Meleady. It was an unusual stoppage, but you could tell it was coming as Melady was offering very little against the master that is Saenchai.

All in all a good fun night. A very good night for the Siam Warriors gym again with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.

I missed Ryans fight as I was helping fighters get ready but I heard it was a cracker. Of the fights I saw, Dommie Kelly was fighter of the night for me. Moved up a weight class and still looked absolutely relentless against Ivo.

I was shocked by the T-Bob/Jono fight, personally I was sure Jono was a shoe in for the final. I'd seen Aslan make T-Bob look quite bad and so thought Jono would be way too much for him.

I know what you mean about Pnae vs Rung being disappointing but only for the 5th round. For rounds 1-3 I thought it was better than their last fight, trading head kicks and heavy hands, for the last round they did absolutely nothing so it left a bit of a sour taste alright.

Yeah it was a shame for Meleady he didn't get to finish his fight, there is a reason Saenchai is the best in the world and Stephen was never going to outpoint him but he was clearly still attacking and enjoying the fight so bit of an early call for me.

All in all a great show, everything ran like clockwork, good security and medical staff. Good food, good drinks and great fights.What more could you want

The fact Dommie is only 17 is frigthening. Missed the first round of his fight, but he pretty much dominated it.

That about sums up that fight for me, though I knew they wouldn't go full whack on foreign soil. Would have been a different match in Thailand. Still was disappointing overall I thought.

That's true too.

Agree with this too.

It was all very well organised and run though. Great to see so many quality fighters in action.

Two class knock outs from tbob in Neptune, this one looked more dangerous, less spectacular then the last.

Cowley vs Shane O'Neill alone, will be working going back down in November to see.

The way i looked at this fight was to set up the third payday. they traded shots but never looked to go for the kill and when they knew Rungravee was up on the judges cards, they played it out looking for the Trilogy fight. Pity because the first fight was class. Hopefully if Martin has they over again it will be a war!

Saenchai, what can i say, he made it look effortless, but credit to Meleady, he caught him with a few shots, nothing major but seemed to be enough for Saenchai to step it up a gear. Not quite sure what stopped Meleady, didnt seem to be too badly hurt. Kind of a shock, thought it would have been let go. Would love to see Saenchai in cork again but not sure who would be a good challenger

he is only 17? seriously? He is a brilliant fighter and always entertaining and himself and Ivo was possibly fight of the night in my opinion

There was nothing wrong with Meleady, he wanted to continue the fight, it was that the ref figured Steo was taking too many heavy shots and ended the bout.

They fought in a K1 4 man tournament back in 2012, can't find a video but fight card info here

Good night. Fair play to all involved. Best Thai fight night I've been to in a while.

Jono Bracken V T Bob - very disappointed and hoped it would have gone on to be a good fight.
Gary Ormond vs Paddy - Very mild for a title fight. From were sitting we would have called it a draw at most. Maybe we are wrong?
Senchai V Meleady - Fair play to Ste, Senchai is in a league of his own but being in the ring with him at all is an achievement and something to be proud of, good work Ste.

Got to see the Thai lads in the hotel afterwards, and even though their heads were probably wrecked they were sound enough to stop for a picture.

Next stop, Armageddon.
