THE ALBANIAN QATO LOOKING A LITTLE PERPLEXED AS HE WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE RING AGAINST COVENTRY FAVOURITE STEVIE BENDALL, STEVIE WAS VERY COOL AND REALLY UP FOR THE FIGHT AT THE YORK HALL IN BETHNALL GREEN. BOTH FIGHTERS ENTERED THE RING TO A GOOD RECEPTION FOR THIS 8 X 3 MINUTE ROUND CONTEST IT WAS OBVIOUS FROM THE START THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CROWD WERE RIGHT BEHIND QATO BUT THE FORTY OR SO COVENTRY FANS WERE GIVING A GOOD ACCOUNT OF THEMSELVES LED BY STEVIES BROTHER STUART. QATO SURPRISED A LOT OF US WITH HIS FITNESS AND STYLE AND HE MADE IT OBVIOUS FROM THE START THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO BE A PUSHOVER, IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF ROUNDS THE HONOUR'S WERE PRETTY EVEN STEVIE JUST EDGING BOTH BUT AS WE GOT INTO THE THIRD FOURTH AND FIFTH ROUNDS QATO WAS GETTING THROUGH TO STEVE WITH FAR TO MANY GOOD SHOTS AND HE LOOKED TO HAVE BEEN MOVING AHEAD ON POINTS STEVE DID ENOUGH IN THE REMAINING ROUNDS TO GET THE VERDICT A DECISION THAT WAS BOOED BY THE HOME FANS. I THOUGHT THAT STEVE HAD DONE ENOUGH TO WIN THIS FIGHT ALTHOUGH HE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET MOTIVATED
