What a Night; Macklin vs Campas. With Pics n Vid

[donnydarkoIRL]

The Championship rounds heralded some tense moments....
Macklin's face burned red with effort, Campas sought to up the tempo. Mcklins father and I screamed at Macklin to stick to the jab and move style which had been so succesful. It seemed we were the only ones as the crowd bayed for a big finish.
Macklins second wind arrived in the eighth/ninth....is movement returned to it's best and the jab became super efective.

As the fighters agony ended Campas seemed as happy as Macklin, he paraded around the ring as if he anticipated victory. I reassured Macklin Sr. that Matthew had taken the fight. He had been too slick for the aged warrior, he had boxed a man who could manage most brawlers and had been highly succesful.....
As the scores were announced (98-95) Macklin....the crowd once again broke into chants. Smiles were excahnged between the promoter Brian Peters and trainers, McGirt looked satisfied and a smile was plastered along the battle scarred face of Ireland's Matthew Macklin.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the night.
The fights were entertaining, the crowd warm and the fighters friendly.
I have to thank Jane W and Curtis McC.
They were more help than I could have imagined.

Watch the front page for the write up.




Oh.....Big up to Brian Peters too....not only did he put on a great show, he treated press as VIP's.
