Rapport: Gianluca Di Caro
Normalment din tkun jew Il-ġimgħa jew IS-SIBT lejl li niġi jiffissaw regolari tiegħi
ta 'azzjoni pugilistic, din il-ġimgħa għalkemm kien ftit differenti kif I magħmula
il-vjaġġ minn Londra sa Leeds nhar il-Ħadd filgħodu, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, promotur daru, Lee Murtagh.
Meta wieħed iqis li kien Il-Ħadd wara nofsinhar / filgħaxija ispettaklu, I kien mightily
sorpriż, jew hija li impressjonat, li meta I waslu fil-post, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.
Jkollhom jgħidu l-fannijiet Leeds verament jafu kif igawdu infushom, l-
atmosfera fil-Nightclub Pryzm kienet electric, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Mr. Tony Dekan, 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 l-ispettaklu kien favorit lokali Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, kontra Jekaterina Lecko Latvja.
Mill-off taż-żewġ tfajliet mġagħla jieħdu ring center, 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, qabel isparar out dritt dritta, which caught the Latvian flush.
Smith magħluqa fit darb'oħra u let RIP bi dritt big lill-korp u xellug
lill-kap, Fecko ppruvaw stand-art tagħha iżda Smith daħal fis anke
aktar b'saħħitha jisforzaw il-dahar Latvjan lejn l-ħbula.
Inizjalment Fecko użati jab tagħha biex effett kbir biex iżommu Smith fil-bajja, imma
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 mċaqalqa straight fl għall-qtil, jitfg għadd kbir ta 'shots kbar,
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, kontra Elvis Rozembergs Latvja, fi sitt tond.
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, ex Ingliż Amateur Internazzjonali, 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 hija logħba għalkemm, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, kull darba li jippreżentaw Decastro b'mira ċara korp -Rozembergs - li jiġu stabbiliti sights tiegħu fuq, li naturalment huwa ma, 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.
Il Latvjan kienet b'mod ċar fil-periklu, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.
Wara ftit minuti Rozembergs kien għen biex saqajh u kif għamel
riċevuti applause rapturous mill-udjenza apprezzattiv.
Qabel Decastro-Rozembergs kien debutt ieħor pro, dan iż-żmien
Middlesborough welterweight Chris Wood, kontra Edgar Milevics.
Milevics ma ġust xi aħjar minn jew Lecko jew Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
wara Wood imil dritt big fis kustilji tiegħu.
Milevics għamel l-għadd, 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.
Fuq dwar il-tieni trade mark ħamsin l-inevitabbli ġara, 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.
