Our eyes were on Jordan Williams however. One of our SANDEE Academy fighters Jordan Williams is one of the rising stars of the North East Thai Boxing Scene
Jordan who trains out of Erawan Gym under Steven Wright, got a narrow points win that saw back and forth strikes from both fighters with Jordan getting the nod from the judges.
The fight was closely matched with both fighters taking probably a few more risks that usual which was probably down the headguards and shinpads required as it was a junior UKMF sanctioned fight. Jordan showed some flashes of real talent and although took a few shots showed enough for the judges to award the win.
A much relieved Jordan said afterwards, 'it wasn't my best performance this time, but i am glad i did enough".
