Pretty good first fight between Small and Wright.Small totally controlled the early part of the fight with his unorthodox style totally confusing Wright and he was able to just hit him at move out again at will.Late flurry from Wright that showed Small is not the best when on the defensive but it was all too late for Walter and Small was the rightful winner.

It was a step up in class for Small and it showed he still needs a bit of work before he can really challenge for a world title, best stick to euro level in the mean time.
