1st off i must congratulate Paul and Clan Wars on a great show and very professional set up, as someone who runs a small promotion without all the frills it was nice to see 1 that is aiming to be a really big promotion running such a professional show, im not into the whole lighting etc thing but to the casual fan it really can big up the feeling of the night so well done on a magnificent show and well done on getting a venue which had great warm areas for each corner.
My only 1 bad point which i was going to say to you on the night but did'nt because you looked stressed to say the least! During the John Donnelly fight i was shouting advice from the crowd to John such as Kick, Jab, Shoot etc! all pretty standard stuff, 1 of the security lads on duty came over and told me to keep it down, i asked him was he serious and he was!! i was going to get put out for it, i had not even 1 drink so was not doing anything out of order or anything, this sort of security is the sort that agitates people who are otherwise having fun, lucky he did not go up to some drunk person as he may have got a smack..
On the ref thing, Peter and Decky are 2 of the nicest refs in the business and both are very honest, they will make mistakes in the heat of the moment, sometimes they realise these mistakes straight away and rather than having an ego they accept they made a mistake and let the fight continue, not ideal but at least both fighters fight wont end prematurely, in the fight where the knockdown occured he jumped in to stop it and realised he was in to quick, when he knew the opponent was ok he let it contine, if GnP was part of that fight it would have been over in my opinion but as it was'nt i think it would not have mattered much if Dcky had not jumped in.
On the Knee to the head, he slumped straight down and the ref done what a lot of refs would do in the circumstance, as far as the Redmond stoppage by peter throwing in the towel, he was spot on, all it done was stop the tough Tim from taking an unnecessary beating, John transitioned to choke as the towel came in and said he felt Tim's body felt limp and the choke was just on.
Peter by the way, you lads get told how awesome you are all the time on here! take the stick like a man and get your A game in order for Rush next week!! Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

Hi Paul
Was a pleasure having you guys on buddy, John did very well and has come on leaps and bounds.
You mentioned about the lighting and the razz mataz but that was one of the only things that let us down this time as the lighting man messed up and didnt bring any of the lights he was asked for. That whole frame was supposed to be covered in lights for the effects we like for the show for the intro music but we made do
Regarding the security, I thought they done a fantastic job along with the stewards. We had the security briefed on the high level expected from them - we had the council heavy on for this show doing everything in there power to shut it down, they were going deep into everything and made 3-4 visits trying to find faults plus they approached the head of Police on several occassions also who did a full report on it and even when they got back to the council with full approval and backing from the police the council still pushed it and tried another head constable who basically told them he supported the event and was taking his kids to it lol
We had everything sorted from all the H&S paper work, insurance, risk assessments and full police support so there was nothing the council could do other than visit on the day still trying and throw a spanner in the works.
This was why the doormen where trying to keep on top everything which they did very well but perhaps didnt understand the difference between support and rowdyness, they were erring on the side of caution.
Al in all they done a fantastic job and its the first time I have seen everyone at an MMA event remain seated which made for great viewing pleasure 0 -

Hello, first off have to say I thought the show was good, well run and everything!
In terms of Darrens fight, obviously I will find it hard to take bias out of it as I am his teammate, but...
In my opinion regardless of whether Darren slipped (and from my view he did slip) or was caught I feel the focus should be on what happened on the floor.
From what I could see Darren had both his hands up covering his face and was not recieving clear blows to the head, so for me he was intelligently defending himself? I just really dont think Darren was given the chance to even move and I dont see how Peter could make that call without letting it go on the ground for a bit.
To stop it that quickly Peter would have had to been sure Darren was out of it, but how could he have been sure when:
A) he didnt give it any time
darren clearly had both his hands up
I have probably said to much already but I should point out a few things:
Peter is a well respected guy and he generally does a great job so I would never hold this against him ( I just think this was a bad call). Being an MMA ref is pretty thankless and Im sure Peter was only trying to protect darren.
Peter has been in the game alot longer than me, and has probably forgot more about this sport than I even know! so his opinion is more valuable than mine.
I am a teammate of Darrens so my opinion is never going to be completley objective! Plus there is nothing we can do about it now.
Congrats on the win for Peter duncan, and I hope Darren gets a rematch!0 -

I hope Darren isnt too fooked off with me over the call.I have always respected him as a fighter an a friend.Now,as for the call.To be honest looking at it in hindsight I think I was actually too close to teh fighters at the point that Darren was kneed.I saw him drop and stepped in,now I imagine that had I been at the other side of the cage or even a few feet away by the time I had stepped in he may have recovered.regardless of that,he did go down heavy and I based my call on what I saw.Maybe he will get the re-match and redress the decision.
As for the headbutt.....Paul..Im sorry but it was a blatant violation of the rules.it wasnt a glance,it was full contact with the head.Too many guys have spoken to me on teh subject today.it was on camera and I was close enough to the fight to hear and see it.I think to get this or even try to have the call over ruled is nonsense.It undermines the refs position and basicly is saying that my job is pointless.As you said,I have been around a long time and have a shade of experience in what I do.If someone breaks the rules then they have to accept the consequenses.0 -
