Louis Cuddy started the night off with a sensational first round stoppage, and is surely one to watch for the future. A very popular local fighter, who continues to impress. Sensational.

John Quigley continued the VIP Boxing Promotions winning steak, taking a 60-54 points win to move to 7 wins out of 7 contests. All this on the day before his 22nd Birthday too.

Kevin Satchell, in just his 8th contest in the Pro ranks, forced Paul Edwards corner to pull him out in the tenth round. This handed the vacant commonwealth Flyweight title to Satchell, a certain star of the future. Huge respect to Edwards, who gave a great performance, and will surely come again.

Away for the VIP fighters, there were wins for Hamilton, Dickinson, and of course Big David Price.

All in all it was another cracking show in Liverpool, at a wonderful venue.

We’ll be back there for sure.
