Rating: This was a whole lot of fun, largely thanks to the mix of in-ring styles - high-flying and hard-hitting - and the fact that it actually wasn't immediately obvious who would win.

All three men looked spectacular and got plenty of time to get their licks in, the crowd was into it all the way, and Gulak's win felt thoroughly deserved.

It's tough to remember the last pre-show match that felt this brilliantly paced and crowd-pleasing while actually meaning something. Top marks for all. 8/10
