Dai Cray won in what was Fight Of The Night, Joe Orrey lost a very tough bout and Martin ‘Mr Pink’ McDonough secured the VOK Bantamweight title. As for Chris Tetly he didn’t get to fight, after expecting to fight Pro Rules. His opponent messed him around all day, firstly showing up too heavy and refusing to cut weight. Then demanding to wear a rash gaurd. Then demanding the fight to be Semi Pro Rules. Tetly accomodated all of these demands and was set to fight a bigger man. His coach then decided that he would fight Pro Rules but only for a higher purse. Needless to say the fight didn’t go ahead. Don’t give up your day job fella ‘cause you aint no fighter.
