Lokela ho re ea Leeds Fans le hantle le tseba ho thabela ba, ea
sepakapaka ka Pryzm Nightclub e ne e motlakase, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Monghali. 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.
Headlining lenaneo ne a ba moo ratang ka ho fetisisa Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, khahlanong le Latvia oa Jekaterina Lecko.
Ho tswa ho theoha banana ba ile ba fallela ho nka setsi lesale, 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, pele thunya tsoa e otlolohileng tokelo ya, which caught the Latvian flush.
Smith koaloa a hape 'me a a ke hahola le e kholo tokelo ya ho ea' meleng le ho le letšehali
ho ea fihla hloohong, Fecko ile a leka ho ema hae fatse empa Smith tla ka esita le

Qalong Fecko a sebelisa hae jab se ho e khōlō e le hantle ho boloka Smith ka Bay, empa
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 ba ile ba fallela ka ho toba ka bakeng sa bolaea, lahlele ba letsoele la khōlō Shots,
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, khahlanong le Latvia oa Elvis Rozembergs, a a tseletseng 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, eo e neng e Senyesemane 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 ke tai game leha ho le joalo, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, nako le nako ho hlahisa Decastro le e hlakileng phofu -Rozembergs mele - ho beha hae Turístico ka, e leng nete hore o ile a ile a etsa, 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.
Ea Latvia e ne e ka ho hlakileng mahlomola, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.
Kamora metsotso e mmalwa Rozembergs ile ka thusoa ho maoto a hae ha e le o ile a ile a etsa
ile a fumana rapturous opa liatla ho tswa ho nang le kananelo bamameli ba.
Pele ho Decastro-Rozembergs e ne e e 'ngoe lan qalo, lekhetlong lena
Middlesborough Welterweight Chris Wood, khahlanong le Edgar Milevics.
Milevics ile a etsa ga se a siama leha e le efe molemo ho feta ho e ka ba Lecko kapa Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
latelang Wood pitching e kholo tokelo ya ea hae likhopo.
Milevics o ile a etsa bala, 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.
Ka ka mashome a mahlano bobeli letšoao ke keng ea qojoa ileng sa etsahala, 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.
Ka tsehetso e sa tse tharo setsebi bouts, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) sanctioned bouts.
Ka sehloohong e mong, bakeng sa EBF International Bantamweight Championship, 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.
Tsa pele tse tharo o garela Cortis ne a letsa emetse tai game, ka tšepo ea e le hore bohle

Round tse 'ne e ne e le ho feta esita le taba, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, qalong ea Maltesisch ngoanana ne a Landing e ntle tse seng kae Shots, 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.
Ka ea motsotso mashome a mararo tshwaya e ne e Cortis ka hlasela hape, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, e neng e e hloekileng so walaoke ho so walaoke Battle Royale.
