"Helen garnet v Zoey Mason. A composed performance from Helen throughout, Zoey never stopped fighting but Helen was always just a step ahead. She picked it up in the last round and forced the ref to stop the fight after landing some bit heavy head shots."
"but fighter of the night for me was Helene Garnet, i was looking forward to seeing her fight so much. She is just pure class-credit to Zoe Mason who took some punishment in the face, Zoe did well-she just kept going and against a less powerful opponent probably would've won easily but Helene has ridiculously strong punching power for someone her size. Zoe was visibly upset at the stoppage but Helene showed true sportsmanship and went straight over to console her." - Marianne, www.teamphoenixuk.com
"Helen Garnett is such a nice down to earth lady outside the ring but when the 1st bell goes she is possesed by the evil devil of mashdown-ness she was fantastic and a pleasure to watch as always.....got to give props to her opponent for stepping up to the plate i dont think she was as experienced but put in a good account of herself against IMO the best pound 4 pound female fighter in this country....would love to see Helen fight for a world title on the next LadyKiller show." - Liam, Badcompany
"Well done to Zoe Mason and the Touchgloves team for taking such a tough fight against Helene Garnett who punches like a heavyweight!!! Well done Zoe." - Kevin Dorman
"Helen Garnett was impressive as always, and agree that she definitely deserves a world title shot.Credit to Zoey Mason for taking the fight&having great heart throughout the fight."
"Helene Garnett- who i have never seen fight before was for me the best fighter on the show, she was an absolute treat to watch, i would however like to give Zoe Mason from touch gloves some credit for her gutsy performance, im sure even helene will agree that give Zoe more experience and a bit more power and she will be a real force to content with for the future, she showed some guts and some real quality"
Rachael Clements also represented Wicker Camp at the show and put in a valiant effort in her first adult fight against a more experienced fighter and we hope to see her in the ring again soon.
