Kawaida ni ama Ijumaa au Jumamosi usiku kwamba mimi kupata fix yangu mara kwa mara
wa utekelezaji pugilistic, wiki hii ingawa ilikuwa tofauti kidogo kama mimi alifanya
safari kutoka London hadi Leeds siku ya Jumapili asubuhi, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, akageuka promoter, Lee Murtagh.

Kuzingatia ni Jumapili mchana / jioni show, Nilikuwa kwa nguvu
kushangaa, au ni kwamba hisia, kwamba wakati mimi aliwasili katika ukumbi, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.

Kusema mashabiki Leeds kweli kujua jinsi ya kufurahia wenyewe, akaonekana
anga katika Pryzm Nightclub ilikuwa umeme, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Mr. Tony Dean, announced each of the boxers that the crowd vociferously showed their support, not just of the home fighters but they also made the opponents welcome too, which makes a nice change.

Iliyoitwa show ilikuwa favorite mitaa Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, dhidi Latvia Jekaterina Lecko.

Kutoka off wasichana wawili wakiongozwa na kuchukua kituo cha pete, tentatively boxing off the back of their jabs, after about twenty seconds or so Lecko decided to step it up a tad, throwing a good stiff jab immediately followed by a looping right to the head, Smith closed her guard just enough to catch the shot on her glove, kabla ya risasi nje ya haki sawa, which caught the Latvian flush.

Smith imefungwa tena na basi mpasuko na haki kubwa ya mwili na kushoto
kichwa, Fecko alijaribu kusimama ardhi yake lakini Smith alifika katika hata
nguvu kulazimisha nyuma Latvian kuelekea kamba.

Awali Fecko kutumika jab yake na athari kubwa kuweka Smith pembeni, lakini
around the forty five second mark Smith slipped under the jab and let rip with a huge shot to the body, quickly followed by another to the head that shook the Latvian girl to the core.

Smith wakiongozwa moja kwa moja kwa ajili ya kuua, kutupa wingi wa shots kubwa,
leaving Fecko no option but to cover up in the hope that she could survive the onslaught.

Smith had now corralled the Latvian into the corner and began bombarding Fecko with shots from every conceivable angle, then just as Fecko straightened up Smith landed an absolute peach of a shot to the body that sent Fecko straight to the canvas.

As referee Jimmy Byrne made the count Fecko looked towards her corner and shook her head before desperately trying to make it to her feet, however clearly in distress she instantly dropped back down onto one knee, leaving Jimmy Byrne no option but to call a halt to proceedings on the seventy second mark of the first round.

Prior to Smith-Fecko Lincoln’s unbeaten big punching Middleweight Nathan Decastro, dhidi Latvia Elvis Rozembergs, katika sita rounder.

Decastro’s ring moniker is ‘Nightmare’ and boy oh boy I bet young Mr. Rozembergs will be having plenty of them after this fight.

Decastro, zamani Kiingereza Amateur International, is about as clinical as they come. Right from the off the Lincolnshire lad picked his shots with precision, landing three pin-point perfect shots just with his opening salvo.

Rozembergs ni mchezo ingawa, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, kila wakati kuwasilisha Decastro kwa lengo wazi mwili -Rozembergs - kuweka vituko yake juu ya, ambayo bila shaka alivyofanya, landing seriously solid shots each time.

On about the minute mark Rozembergs tried to back Decastro up by coming in hard and fast with a double handed flurry, however Decastro side stepped before letting rip with a big right to the body, which sent Rozembourgs to the canvas.

Latvian ilikuwa wazi katika dhiki, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.

Baada ya dakika chache Rozembergs alisaidiwa kwa miguu yake na kama alivyofanya
kupokea rapturous applause kutoka watazamaji appreciative.

Kabla ya Decastro-Rozembergs alikuwa mwingine kwanza pro, wakati huu
Middlesborough welterweight Chris Wood, dhidi ya Edgar Milevics.

Milevics alifanya si haki yoyote bora kuliko aidha Lecko au Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
zifuatazo Wood aliingilia haki kubwa katika mbavu zake.

Milevics alifanya hesabu, but on the restart you could see his heart was no longer in the fight, electing instead to cover up in the vein hope that Wood wouldn’t land another big shot.

On kuhusu hamsini alama pili kuepukika kilichotokea, Wood sneaked a lovely little hook in just behind Milevics guard, causing the Latvian to bring his hands down to protect his body, which left him open to a big right to the head, which left Milevics no option but to cover up again and as he did Wood calmly threw another big left to the body, which sent Milevic down to the canvas for the second time.

Milevic just about managed to make it to his feet but referee Jimmy Byrne took one look and see how unsteady the Latvian was on his feet and rightly stopped the fight on the sixty seconds mark.

Msaada kwa ajili ya kikohozi mtaalamu tatu, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) kikohozi uliosababishwa.

moja kuu, kwa Bantamweight michuano International EBF, see Leeds’ Sophie Varley in a rematch against Malta’s Mandy Cortis.

Cortis had come all the way from sunny Malta to a rather wet and Windy Leeds to defend the title she won last time the two met.

kwanza ya raundi ya tatu Cortis alicheza mchezo kusubiri, matumaini kwamba wote
hatua msichana Varley ingekuwa Punch mwenyewe nje.

Round nne ilikuwa zaidi hata jambo, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, awali msichana Maltese mara kutua nzuri shots chache, but Varley is as tough as they come and by about the fifty second mark wrenched control back with a fantastic display of boxing, culminating with Cortis backed onto the ropes and absorbing a seemingly never ending barrage.

Kuhusu dakika moja thelathini alama ni Cortis juu ya mashambulizi tena, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, ambayo ilikuwa toe safi na toe vita Royale.

Cortis kudhibitiwa wengi wa raundi mbili za mwisho, pamoja na baadhi ya
nzuri ndondi, Varley bado alitoa akaunti kubwa ya yeye mwenyewe, tu
kiasi cha kazi yeye alikuwa kuweka katika wakati wa raundi mapema alikuwa karibu
mchanga yake.

Ilikuwa wazi ni kwenda kuwa karibu, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, karibu sana 58-57 pointi uamuzi.
