I decided to take the whole family as last time we went to a live show (Crolla/Perez 1) the kids couldn’t come. This was £20.00 each so not an overly massive amount if it didn’t turn out so great (no worries on that score).

Middleton Arena was the venue on Friday, 24th June. The doors opened at 19:30 ready for the first bout at 20:30, during this interval the ‘Vicious’ documentary was played, showing the struggles ex-boxer Kieran Farrell has come through and how far he’s come. (I’ve struggled on many occasions to write about it but still feel I can’t do it justice.)
Then some interviews carried out by Jamal Niaz with the local boxers was played and of course, the beers were flowing, the Arena filled up and with the place packed (only 10 tickets weren’t sold), we’re ready for the first bout.

The youngster Jake Bulger taking on the experienced Kas Hussain over 4 rounds in the Lightweight division. Jake looking like he’d spent the last 6 months abroad took the bout straight to Kas which seemed to overwhelm the plucky veteran who covered up for much of the first round taking constant short jabs to the head followed by strong looping hooks to the body, the younger Bulger was very much in control for ¾’s of this one and not only boxed anyway he wanted but seemed to move the slightly bulkier Hussain around the ring at whim. Hussain exploded into life in the 4th, but Bulgers ring intelligence shown as he covered up, took the shots on his arms before unleashing some wicked hooks to the body and driving the well travelled Hussain backwards before the bell went for the end of the 4th and Jakes arm was raised in victory with a 40-36 win.
