Shock n' Awe 14 - Discussion

There have been a few cancellations for this event tomorrow night...

Phil Else vs Scott Hunt is off after Else suffered a late training injury, and brothers Alexei and Shey Roberts, both failed to make weight and their fights were pulled from the card. Alexei was 5.5lb over and Shey was 10lb over!

Ben Ford also came in over weight (5.2lbs) but Colwell agreed to take the fight so that one's still on

i'm gutted about the Hughes/Roberts cancellation as i was really looking forward to that one.

i haven't been able to get a wi-fi signal the last few times i've been so i don't know if i'll be able to do live updates for the results but i'll be jotting them down and getting them entered as soon as possible afterwards

those who can't wait and require instant gratification, you should keep an eye on addictedmma as they usually have the results being updated live.

Thanks @mmalari

i was actually sat behind the promoter who was tweeting those results, i did try entering them live but as i suspected my wi-fi signal was **** so i only manged to get a few entered while i was there, i tried again in the ferry port but only got a couple more entered before we were asked to board and i lost my connection again.


another great event from SnA though, the Laurence/Bangert and Carr/Rice bouts made up for the loss of Else/Hunt and Hughes/Roberts, although i would defo still loved to of seen them and can only imagine how good it would of been with those bouts as well

Bangert was in beast mode with a very impressive performance against Laurence, i didn't write Josh off but i honestly thought Laurence's experience would see him through to a comfortable decision, but i was way off, it wasn't completely one sided but Bangert controlled the majority of the fight, out working Joe on the mat and on the feet, landing some brutal kicks to the body before snatching the RNC

and Carr/Rice could of been FOTN, both came out aggressive, each landing effective strikes, Rice looked the stronger of the two in the clinch and for pretty much the whole first round he was taking Carr down at will but it was Carr who finished in a strong position. the second started out like the first but Rice was starting to tire and slow down a bit, so the take downs were less frequent but the action continued. in the third, both men looked tired as they took to the center of the cage, after a bit of back and forth, Rice landed a big knee which dropped Carr and tbh i thought it was over, but he defended well, got back to his feet, forced a tired Rice back against the cage and dropped him with a vicious hook to the body.

all in all it was another great night and i can't wait until the next one!
