Sot Chitalada wiped out Magri.
My old man was in awe of Sot that night and got us tickets to the Chitalada/Duke McKenzie fight...
Sadly the Thai was injured and instead we were served up a main event of Horace Notice and one Dean Waters. The only fun was on the undercard when a young gypsy fighter got (rightly) stopped in the opening round and attacked the ref! He had a fair few supporters and at one staged there looked like their might be crowd trouble too.
