Saturday the 9th April 2016 saw Uppercut Promotions return to The Swallows Leisure Centre in Sittingbourne Kent for a night of Semi Pro Boxing. This is the second time I have been too one of Elaina Mairs promotions the first one was as a guest but I could not resist taking a camera with me the results of which can be seen on YouTube by clinking here where it says Uppercut Promotions
Has too be said I enjoyed the last show but sadly missed, from what I was told was the best fight of the evening, as I had no transport and had to rush to grab the last train. Well that did not happen this time as at last I have sorted my shit out and got my driving licence back which was just as well as this time I had a pile of kit to take that would have been more at home with a Sky TV outside broadcast unit in attendance to operate it.
There was too be ten bouts and a good few titles on the line. Elaina told me she had been let down by a few fighters which was going to result in a shorter show. Let downs seem to be a regular thing in all the shows I attend but at ten fights it didn't spoil the evening and there was to be some blinding bouts for the gathered boxing fans to enjoy.
This show is very well run and Elaina prides herself on making it that way. I personally feel she has achieved that and balances everything perfectly including the needs of people like us and the DJ who so often have to make do and fend for themselves resulting in Dj's not being informed of order changes resulting in the wrong walk on music being played or camera operators unable to get decent shots making the promotion look amateur.
Credit should be given to everyone involved with this show as it was a top quality night out. June see's the next show details of which will appear on our Show Dates page when we know them. To fight on Elaina's show contact her on the Facebook link at the bottom of this page
Enough of your endless waffle I hear you cry just show us the fight card and get on with it. So here is the order of play.
