DeCastro clamorosamente Arresta Castaneda in cinque a Lincoln

Relazione: Gianluca Di Caro

Sabato sera, presso la Sala del motore alla Lincoln University, i tifosi locali si sono presentati in vigore al supporto ragazzo locale Nathan DeCastro nella sua difesa del World Boxing Union (WBU) super medi titolo mondiale che ha tenuto dall'aprile così come il tentativo di aggiungere il World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Corona per la sua collezione contro tardo sostituzione Fernando Castaneda dal Messico.

Originariamente DeCastro era dovuto ad affrontare nicaraguense Jose Varela, tuttavia il Mercoledì Varela, che era in Spagna al momento, è stato rifiutato un visto di uscita dalle autorità spagnole al suo arrivo all'aeroporto di Barcellona per il suo volo verso il Regno Unito, così è stato in grado di fare il viaggio a Lincoln.

La stessa lotta era piuttosto un affare disordinato, a causa di tenuta continua di Castaneda, a seguito DeCastro atterrando un colpo corpo vizioso nella fase iniziale del primo che era chiaramente influenzare il messicano, come ogni volta DeCastro si fece avanti e lasciare strappare aveva aggrapparsi per evitare ulteriori punizioni per il corpo.

Arrotonda due e tre erano in vena simile, anche se ad essere onesti ci fosse un po 'più di boxe, piuttosto che wrestling, azione. DeCastro ha lavorato il corpo del suo nemico ogni volta che ha avuto l'opportunità, che non era che spesso a causa di tattiche del messicano di colpo e attesa.

Quarto round era molto più aperta seguente arbitro Lee Murtagh avere parole severe con Castaneda circa la detenzione, tanto ci sono stati alcuni scambi velenosi che seguirono, tuttavia ogni volta DeCastro di mira il corpo Castaneda sarebbe ancora inizialmente afferrare, così DeCastro cominciò a sparare alla testa Exocet.

DeCastro chiaramente avuto abbastanza di essere frustrati da tattiche di Castaneda come iniziò la quinta strofa, l'uomo Bardney tattiche ha cambiato un po 'e ha cominciato ad andare avanti molto più e più veloce e atterrare alcuni colpi seri nel primo minuto o giù di lì, Castaneda ha risposto in natura, ma del tutto inefficace a causa della sua determinazione a proteggere il suo corpo da ulteriori punizioni, mantenendo le distanze.

Circa a metà strada tra la rotonda DeCastro sostenuto il messicano verso la corda e finse un colpo, causando Castaneda di alzare le mani quel tanto che basta per creare un'apertura e lasciare strappare con una massiccia gancio al corpo che ha inviato il messicano alla tela raddoppiato nel dolore.

Castaneda inizialmente cercato di aumentare, ma subito crollata e si contorceva dal dolore, Arbitro Lee Murtagh immediatamente rinunciato alla lotta fuori e chiamò il medico sul ring come DeCastro e il suo team ha iniziato le loro celebrazioni. Ora ufficiale di arresto un minuto e trenta otto secondi del quinto round.

Prima di DeCastro-Castaneda vedere Sophie Varley in azione contro Jaime Bates per il Consiglio pugilato professionistico (PBC) Campionato Internazionale di bronzo.

Devo dire che questa è stata una lotta di cracking dall'inizio alla fine, le due ragazze hanno combattuto duramente per l'intero due minuti di ogni singolo round. Varley atterraggio alcuni seriamente pezzi grossi, tra cui uno nel sesto che ha scosso Bates al nucleo, le sue gambe erano spariti ma in qualche modo è riuscito a rimanere non solo sui suoi piedi, ma era abbastanza esperto per darsi qualche secondo per recuperare la calma da appendere fuori un jab per tenere a bada Varley.

Ogni round era tutto azione e seriamente vicino, tanto che non potevo dividere, segnare saggio, su alcuni dei turni e ciascuno per la mia mente aveva assicurato un paio di giri e devo ammettere che ho pensato che il risultato sarebbe stato un pareggio, Mi sbagliavo (Sono chiaramente non materiale Giudice) come i tre giudici esperti scorecard lettura; Adrian Thorne 57-59, James Ancliff 57-58 e Graeme Beauly 56-59 tutti a favore di Jaime Bates.

Prima di Varley-Bates era un'altra lotta di cracking tra debuttando Zac Lane Sheffield e nicaraguense Federico Castro.

Lo scontro in stili era ciò che ha reso questa lotta, Castro ha un attaccante distinta venire tutto lo stile di attacco out, mentre emula di Layne lo stile del principe Naseem, e boy oh boy il ragazzo ha fatto questo stile la propria, immersione e ondeggianti fuori pericolo prima di gettare i contatori urticanti ogni volta che il Nicaragua ha attaccato. Dire che dovrei sottolineare Layne non è unidimensionale a tutti, quando necessario era più che felice di andare in punta di piedi, lasciando rip con sinistre e dei diritti estremamente veloci e potenti.

E 'stato grande lotta per guardare, vicino e tutte le azioni in tutta. Dopo quattro giri fantastici Arbitro Lee Murtagh ha segnato il concorso 39-37 a favore della esordiente Zac Layne, con grande irritazione di Castro e il suo angolo che circondavano l'arbitro contestando il punteggio, che io comprendere appieno come lui è stato il più aggressivo, ma devo dire Layne neutralizzato gli attacchi del messicano con facilità e il suo contrastare era sensazionale e al mio punto di vista aveva fatto più che sufficiente per assicurare la vittoria.

Prima di Layne contro Castro era un altro tutto thriller d'azione, il tempo che intercorre tra due combattenti imbattuto Zucchero Atahasan della Repubblica turca di Cipro contro il Leeds’ Jack Jones.

Atahasan ha dominato la prima strofa utilizzando il suo vantaggio portata di estremamente buon effetto. Tuttavia, egli non ce l'ha tutto a modo suo tanto più che la lotta progredito nella seconda come Jones ha lavorato pazientemente via modellare aperture prima di lasciare rip con grandi colpi per il corpo e la testa di Atahasan.

Atahasan intensificato una marcia e davvero andato per esso nel terzo, e come nella causa prima dominato. Gran parte della stessa nel quarto, bene fino a circa a metà strada attraverso quando Jones ha approfittato di un errore difensivo per Atahasan e di atterraggio una pesca di un colpo che ha inviato il turco-cipriota alla tela. Atahasan appena sfiorato verso il basso e si alzò in piedi in un istante e sulla ripartenza è andato in duro e veloce anche se alla fine del round.

Dopo la lettura scorecard di quattro turni sensazionali Arbitro Lee Murtagh 37-38 a favore di Jack Jones.

La quarta gara di notte snocciolate basato Orkney Liverpool Paul Peers contro della Tanzania Amos Mwamakula in un quattro più rotondo.

Ancora una volta ciò che un fantastico tutte le guerre azione, Pari andato in duro e veloce e mantenuto accumulando sulla pressione con massicci colpi al corpo e la testa per tutto il primo turno, Mwamakula è chiaramente come duro come vengono a resistere agli attacchi potenti intensi da coetanei.

Il secondo era un po 'meno intenso, come Peers eletto alla tattica interruttore leggermente, rallentare il ritmo e raccogliendo i suoi scatti. Più o meno lo stesso nel terzo, ma nel quarto Pari intensificato il ritmo un po 'e come nel primo mirati corpo seriamente duro della Tanzania.

Dopo quattro ottimi giri di lettura scorecard boxe Arbitro Lee Murtagh 40-36 a favore di Paul Peers.

Prima di Peers vs Mwamakula stato un concorso dei pesi massimi tra Barrow-in-Furness’ Lee Kellett e della Lituania Tomas Vaicickas.

Anche in questo caso è stata una guerra sul pieno, con entrambi gli uomini andare pieno fuori per gran parte del concorso. L'esecuzione da parte Kellet è stato il migliore che ho visto da lui in un bel po ', sembrava fiducioso e davvero stava mettendo così tanto potere dietro i suoi scatti.

Vaicickas è così difficile come vengono e felicemente assorbiti i pezzi grossi provenienti sua strada dall'uomo Barrow prima di contrastare stile. Mentre Kellet ha dominato la prima coupé di giri, Vaicickas venne nel suo nel terzo, dopo aver fatto un passo il ritmo up.

Il quarto era tutto Kellet però, tanto è vero che la lotta è entrato all'ultimo minuto il lituano è apparso a rinunciare e solo stare con la schiena alle corde a causa del ritmo Kellett era tramontato e solo assorbire pugni a volontà.

Dopo quattro grandi giri è stato per scorecard dell'arbitro Lee Murtagh, che sorprende leggere 39-36 a favore di Lee Kellett.

Il secondo incontro della notte snocciolate della Repubblica turca di Cipro Metin Turunc contro il Porto Rico Jose Leon F.

Turunc iniziato duro e veloce, lanciando bombe enormi in ogni occasione e letteralmente è stato percosse Leon, che riusciva a malapena a trovare un'apertura al bancone con tanti pezzi grossi venendo costantemente la sua strada.

angolo di Il portoricano erano così preoccupati che intorno al marchio minuto del primo turno il suo angolo ha gettato la spugna nel tentativo di salvare il loro uomo ulteriori punizioni, tuttavia Arbitro Lee Murtagh appena cacciato il fuori asciugamano e lasciare che la lotta continua, che ha fatto, ma non per molto tempo come Turunc atterrato un altro colpo enorme per inviare Leon giù e fuori sul un minuto e 27 secondi marchio del primo turno.

Per favore, non fraintendetemi, sì, era tutto il traffico a senso unico, come sembra essere la norma con Turunc, L'ho visto combattere prima e so quanto è implacabile, Leon ha provato del suo meglio per rimanere in lotta, ma è stato surclassato dal turco-cipriota seriamente duro e potente.

La lotta della serata di apertura davvero impostare il tono per tutta la sera, come spero che ho chiarito in precedenza che tutti i bar l'evento principale e, naturalmente, Turunc vs Leon, I combattimenti sono stati tutti molto combattuta Battle Royale di di altissimo livello, ben credetemi l'incontro di apertura, tra debuttando Lewis Mulberry e Gerona, Spagna basato nicaraguense Pablo Narvaez, è stato ancora una volta un altro livello, era sensazionale.

Mulberry davvero andato per bene dalla campana di apertura e imballato clamorosamente, Narvaez è un talento così non è una sorpresa che era su per una battaglia e ha dato buono come ha ottenuto in cambio, tuttavia le cose sono andate un po 'storto per il Nicaragua nella prima quando è stato catturato da una pesca di un colpo e ha inviato alla tela – Dirò che ho visto Narvaez in azione un paio di volte e questa è la prima volta che l'ho visto giù, quindi complimenti a giovane Mulberry.

Secondo round vede Narvaez essere un po 'più sulla difensiva mentalità, anche se ancora felice di andare in punta di piedi con il grande bambino punzonatura. Terzo round se vedono un rovescio delle fortune come Narvaez davvero iniziato a prendere un punto d'appoggio del procedimento, che ha permesso di gelso di mostrare le sue doti difensive e contrastare sensazionale. Il quarto è stato un vero e proprio guerra con entrambi gli uomini in corso per questo per i tre minuti. Dopo quattro turni scintillanti di boxe Arbitro Lee Murtagh ha segnato il concorso 39-37 a favore del debutto di Lewis Mulberry.

Devo fare Mulberry contro Narvaez la lotta della notte, è stato magnifico, e hanno anche dire che Mulberry ha veramente impressionato, lui è il vero affare, egli ha tutti gli strumenti in petto per andare fino in fondo alla cima del nostro amato sport, Io per primo non vedo l'ora di vederlo di nuovo in azione questo è sicuro.

KO me in 4! Sowah’s Dreaming, After We Fight He’ll Be Having Nightmares, Decastro Retorts

Bardney Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro has issued a chilling warning to his Ghanaian opponent, ‘Hitman’ Daniel Adjei Sowah, ahead of their upcoming World Title showdown at the University of Lincoln on Saturday 27th April, when the two protagonists face off for the World Boxing Union (WBU) Super Middleweight Championship of the World.

Decastro’s warning following posts on Social Media quoting a Ghanaian Newspaper article where Sowah states “I’m going to knock Decastro out in 4’ which clearly hit a nerve with the man whose ring name is ‘Nightmare’, whose response was.

“Knock me out in 4! Sowah’s dreaming, after we fight he’ll be having nightmares.

“I’ve never lost full stop, let alone been stopped

“He needs to think, they call me Nathan ‘The Nightmare’ Decastro for a reason, I’ve stopped eleven of my fourteen opponents as a pro, I’m more than just a handful to contain, I’m a living Nightmare for my opponents in the ring, I’m fearless and relentless.”

DeCastro, who is Ranked #4, dalla Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF) in their Intercontinental Ratings, then wryly smiled and shrugged before swiftly changing the topic of conversation.

“I’m so looking forward to the 27th, it’s been my dream to fight for a World title, specifically the WBU World title, not just because of my boxing heroes Ricky Hatton and my Promotor Lee McAllister had both won WBU World Titles, but also because Bracebridge Boxing Club, where I train, has a history with the title.

“Owner Denny Oliver’s son Kelly, a four time senior ABA Champion boxed for it in South Africa against Sebastian Rothmann. I’ve always looked up to Kelly so fighting for the same title as him is special.”

Decastro continued. “My first fight was 22nd May 2001 and from that day I knew I wanted to be a professional fighter and have the opportunity to be a Champion. 18 years later I’m getting the chance to make my dream a reality and challenge for a World title in my home City of Lincoln.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to my fans, who are really getting behind me. This show will be a sell out. It really means a lot to me to have that kind of support.

“I would like to say thank you to my team, my sponsors, who make this all possible, my Dad for all his time training me, pad work etc. Sam Vickers my Strength and Conditioning coach, Craig Barton my Dietician, my Physio Dale Hibberd, my Promotor Lee McAllister, thank you for putting such a storming fight card together as well as giving me the chance to fight in my home City and lastly my Girlfriend Rachel Casey.

Rachel has been my absolute rock for this show! She has done everything on her own, organising everything, selling tickets, she’s taken all the pressure off me so I can concentrate on training. What she has done is incredible. I’m a very lucky guy to have someone who really pushes me to be the best person I can be.”

DeCastro: It’s My Destiny To Be World Champion.

 

 

Bardney, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro (14-0-0) wholeheartedly believes it is his destiny to become World Champion. In just over a weeks time he finally gets the opportunity to make his childhood dream come true, when challenges Accra, Ghana’s Daniel Adjei Sowah (20-6-2) per il World Boxing Union (WBU), Super Middleweight Championship of the World at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

 

DeCastro, who is currently ranked #6 nella Federazione Internazionale di Boxe (IBF) Intercontinental rankings, earned the shot for the WBU World Crown with a solid points victory over West African Boxing Union (WABU) Champion Agoe Ashong (11-2-0) to secure the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Commonwealth title at Pride Park in Derby back in September.

 

Speaking from his home earlier Decastro could barely hide his joy at the opportunity to fight for his first World Championship.

 

I’m buzzing, I just can’t wait. I mean not only am I fighting for the World title, but will be fighting for it on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s return to the ring, exciting times.

 

My camps gone really well, I’m feeling fitter and stronger than ever. We’re not leaving anything to chance; we’ve covered every conceivable angle.

 

My father Frank has made sure of that, he’s a great coach, I really am blessed that he trains me.

 

We know he’s a banger, but so am I and what’s more I have a better KO ration of 11 in 14 against his 13 in 28 and more importantly I believe I am more hungry for this than him.

 

It’s been my dream since I started boxing as a youngster to win a World title and now I’m just over a week away from making my dreams come true.

 

Especially as I am fighting for the WBU Title, we have history with this Championship at the Bracebridge Boxing Club, as Kelly Oliver whose father owns the club also fought for the WBU crown, at Cruiserweight, so have to win it and bring the belt back to the gym I’ve trained at all my career.

 

Decastro then went on to vent his frustrations over the way bureaucracy had thwarted his previous Championship efforts.

 

I’ve had a really frustrating year or so, yes I won the Commonwealth title last time out but twice this year I was supposed to challenge for the World title.

 

Unfortunately bureaucratic red tape caused the fights to be cancelled, either Visa issues came into play, as with the original planned fight against Agoe (Ashong) in July or worse still unnecessary political interference by the EBU, which scuppered the IBF European fight against Ronnie (Landaeta).

 

This time though it’s different, Daniel has his Visa and the EBU can’t possibly interfere, so no excuses.

 

It’s my destiny to be World Champion, come 8th December, my dreams will come true, I will be crowned World Champion as I owe it to my legion of fans that have been awesome and so supportive.

 

Nathan ‘NightmareDecastro versus Daniel Adjei Sowah for the World Boxing Union (WBU) Super Middleweight Championship of the World, is the main support for the highly anticipated return to the ring of two time WBO World Champion Scott Harrison (27-3-2) against Tackie Annan (11-6-0) at the Glasgow Club in Bellahouston, Glasgow on Saturday the 8th December 2018.

Kotey’s “Incubo” at the Hands of DecastroPugh and Hughes Reign Supreme at Pride Park

Ringside Report: Gianluca Di Caro

 

 

 

Pride Park in Derby may be best known as home of Derby County FC, however after Saturday night it may be just as well known as the new home of Boxing in the City.

 

 

 

Local Promoter Dan Gray and his team really pulled out all of the stops to put on a seriously top class International event, Dan Gray’s second at the stunning venue, that outclassed the vast majority of the biggest televised events in the country, not just in the realm of quality of the promotion but also with regard to matching.

 

 

 

How refreshing it was to be ringside at an event where each and every fight was so evenly matched you really didn’t know who was going to emerge victorious.

 

 

 

This was boxing the way it should be and I loved every second of it, as I am pretty sure so did every single person that attended, well as virtually everyone was on their feet vociferously showing their support for the fighters throughout each fight I can say that with some confidence.

 

 

 

Anyway enough of my waffle, let’s get to the fights themselves, in reverse order.

 

 

Local Prospect Ross Doherty headlined the show, against Latvia’s Grigorijs Dunecs in an eight round Welterweight contest.

 

 

 

Dunecs is tall for a Welter, with a seriously long reach, which initially he was able to use to good effect to keep his shorter opponent Doherty at bay for about the first minute or so of the first round, Doherty though has a switched on boxing brain and soon adapted his tactics to get around this major disadvantage.

 

 

 

Sensational and clever boxing from the local lad see him soon get a semblance of control of the bout in his favour, mainly targeting the body with single shots and getting out of range before Dunecs could counter with effect.

 

 

 

More of the same in the early part second, however Doherty’s confidence soon grew to a level where he was able to slip under the impressive jab from the Latvian and let rip with sharp double-handed combinations, before slipping back out of range.

 

 

 

Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t all one-way traffic, far from it as Dunecs had plenty of success landing his shots too, just Doherty’s clever movement and pure guts to get inside to land his were mightily impressive.

 

 

 

Più dello stesso nel prossimo paio di giri, really great, highly technical boxing from both protagonists, but the fifth proved to be a major turning point, as Doherty dug deep and switched tactics again, seemingly coming in for another body attack, but at the last microsecond switching to a looping shot to the head.

 

 

 

Dunecs, soon got to grip with the new tactic and basically neutralized this highly effective move. Doherty though just dug deep into his well-stocked locker and produced another clever move.

 

 

 

As the fight headed into the final couple of rounds the fans ringside were treated to some good old-fashioned close quarter slug outs.

 

 

 

La fase finale è stato un cracker, well the whole fight was, but the final round encapsulated the flavour of the contest best, both fighters threw caution to the wind and really went for itit was breath-taking to watch.

 

 

 

After eight fantastic closely fought rounds of boxing Referee Rob Jones’ scorecard leggere 80-72 in favour of Ross Doherty, although absolutely the correct score, it just didn’t reflect just how close the vast majority of the rounds were.

 

 

 

Preceding the excellent Doherty-Dunecs fight was a battle of two Pro debutants, Great Britain’s Emily Pugh versus Latvia’s Jelizaveta Cerkasova.

 

 

 

Che lotta, it was superb and I know before I even start writing I’m not going to be able to adequately describe just how good this fight was, but am going to give it my best shot.

 

 

 

Right from the opening bell both girls moved forward and met in centre ring and exchanged good strong jabs and so began a highly technical chess match of a fight, where both protagonists displayed the excellent fight skills in their respective lockers in an attempt to out gun the other.

 

 

 

For four sensational rounds Pugh and Cerkasova displayed their respective, skills much to the delight of all ringside. It was a master-class, but not in the normal sense of the word, how we use it in boxing, whereby one boxer gave a master-class to their opponent, I mean it was a true master-class of boxing full stop, it was enthralling to watch and as for officiating I would reckon Referee Rob Jones has never had a better fight to officiate, he could have come and sat ringside and watched, he had that little to do, other than take a watching brief.

 

 

 

After four absolutely wonderful, exciting rounds of boxing Referee Rob Jones scored the bout 40-36 in favour of Emily Pugh, and as with the Doherty-Dunecs scoring it was a hundred per cent correct but again just doesn’t represent just how incredibly closely fought the contest was.

 

 

 

Prior to my Fight of the Night winner, Pugh Vs. Cerkasova, was the hugely anticipated and way overdue Super Middleweight contest between Bardley, Lincolnshire’s very own unbeaten and IBF Ranked Super Star Nathan “Il Nightmare” Decastro and PhilipSweet PeaKotey.

 

 

 

Twice previously this fight had been matched, but injury and illness prevented Kotey making it into the ring on fight night, was this going to be third time lucky, you can bet your bottom dollar on it and boy oh boy was it worth it, especially as on Saturday there was a title on the line, the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Internazionale, to add spice to the proceedings.

 

 

 

Right from the off Decastro powered to centre ring and let rip with a huge right, similar to the one he sent Chris Eubanks Jnr. to the canvas with when they faced each other in the amateurs, however in this case somehow Kotey managed to stay on his feet and proceeded to cover up, like a red flag to a bull that just beckoned Decastro to punish his opponent with huge lefts and rights.

 

 

 

Decastro kept on throwing shots, forcing Kotey back onto the ropes and then the fireworks really began to fly. Kotey responds with wicked short hooks to the head followed by close quarters uppercuts, whilst Decastro just kept letting rip with big heavy handed hooks to head and body.

 

 

 

For virtually the entire rest of the round this fight could have taken place in a phone box, but don’t go thinking that means little was happening as they were too close, oh no nothing like that it was all action, I lost count of the amount of shots both fighters threw, they were just raining down.

 

 

 

Più dello stesso nella seconda, although a couple of times Kotey had managed to free himself and utilize really good strong jabs, however Decastro just walked through them whilst throwing big lefts and rights to the body once more to coral the Ghanaian back onto the ropes or a corner.

 

 

 

Right at the very end of the round Kotey let rip with a huge uppercut, Decastro just managed to slip back enough for it to go whizzing past his chin before letting rip with a huge right to the head literally as the bell to end the second round rang.

 

 

 

Kotey stayed in the corner, clearly distressed, before collapsing to the canvas where he began writhing in pain, Referee Rob Jones immediately called the Doctor and Paramedics into the ring and waved the fight off.

 

 

 

The massive uppercut was probably the cause for Kotey’s distress, which was later stated to be a torn rotor cuff injury.

 

 

 

The tough Ghanaian decided he still was going to be present for the Championship Belt presentation to Decastro, even though still in extreme pain, proceeded to stand astride the referee as the result was announced and even took the time to congratulate Decastro for his victory before going back to the medical room for further treatment.

 

 

 

The opening professional fight of the night was a battle of the Celts, with Derby based Scotsman Kane Corvus making his debut against Welshman Steffan Hughes in a four round Cruiserweight contest.

 

 

 

The fight started a frenetic pace, Corvus bouncing in, letting rip, before bouncing back out again, after about twenty seconds or so Promoter Dan Gray shouted out to Corvusslow down, plant your feet”, the big Scotsman immediately complied and proceeded to take a much more controlled approach to the business in hand, so much so that he secured the round in style.

 

 

 

Round two see Corvus boxing nicely off the front foot, but also see Hughes come more into the fight. There were some cracking exchanges, one such about three quarters in, see Corvus land a big left and as he leant back to where he thought he’d be out of range, Hughes took a slight step forward and landed a very good straight right which sent the Scotsman to the canvas.

 

 

 

Corvus was straight up on his feet and once Referee Rob Jones had finished the count and instructed them to box on, Corvus moved forward and landed another good strong shot, only for Hughes to counter equally effectively just as the bell to end the round tolled.

 

 

 

Corvus now seemed to be more settled and boxed effectively, Hughes seemed to be content to absorb the shots and counter occasionally.

 

 

 

As the round progressed there were some really nice exchanges, then out of the blue Hughes threw a peach of a shot to Corvus’ corpo, which sent the big Scotsman to the canvas for a second time. Again Corvus made the count and also made a big impression late in the round when he landed a cracking body shot, which slowed Hughes but didn’t send him down.

 

 

 

Going into the fourth and final round Corvus was told by his corner that at best to get a draw he would need to drop Hughes and sure as eggs is eggs, he proceeded to try his hardest throughout the round to do just that, however Hughes is as savvy as they come and just got behind his jab to keep the marauding Scot at bay.

 

 

 

After four rounds of entertaining boxing Referee Rob Jones scored the contest 38-37 in favour of Steffan Hughes.

 

 

 

Supporting the four pro contests were no less than eight unsanctioned fights, the highlight of these was the contest featuring Megan Mousley, against seriously tough Cheryl Swarbrick. Mousley, who fought with class and panache came through with flying colours.

 

 

 

After this bout Promoter Dan Gray announced that this was Mousley’s final fight, on the unsanctioned amateur circuit, as she is turning professional and will make her pro debut on Dan’s next show in August. Without doubt she will make a very welcome addition to the pro ranks.

Sensational McAllister Secures Crown in Scintillating Style in Aberdeen

Report by Gianluca Di Caro

The Aberdeen Glitterati turned out in force in support of local hero, three division World Champion Lee ‘The Aberdeen Assassin” McAllister’s latest promotion at the stunning Beach Ballroom il Venerdì notte.

McAllister is proving to be one of the most creative of promoters on the circuit today. Little touches like turning the stunning Beach Ballroom venue into a pseudo high end Casino added another level of cache to the excellent four-bout dinner show.

The show itself was originally due to feature four International Championship contests, unfortunately one of the title fights was cancelled after Ghana’s Ekow Wilson failed to obtain his visa in time, but the fans were not to be disappointed in any way at all as the three remaining Championship contests plus a late replacement International four rounder provided more than enough action and drama to sate any pugilistic appetite.

First fight of the night sees Bardley, Lincolnshire’s Nathan Decastro in action against Estonian Eduard Belas.

This bout had been added to the card a week or so prior, following Decastro’s challenge against Spain’s Ronny Landaeta for the IBF European title, which was due to take place the same weekend in Malaga, Spagna, being called off due to rather unsavory actions by the Spanish Federation.

It was clear from the off that Decastro was still smarting from the cancellation of his IBF European Title Challenge, as right from the opening bell went in hard and fast letting rip with vicious uppercuts and body shots at every conceivable opportunity, no surprise then that within the first twenty seconds or so Belas was sent to the canvas.

Belas managed to make the count but was soon under increasing pressure from Decastro, who peppered the Estonian with a series of combinations before letting rip with a big shot to the body to send Belas to the canvas once more.

Surprisingly Belas made it to his feet for a second time, however immediately the fight was restarted Decastro went straight in hard and fast to send the Estonian to the canvas a third time, this time Belas couldn’t make the count, leaving referee Lee Murtagh no option but wave the fight of on the 52 second mark of the first round.

Decastro’s record now reads 10 vittorie, 8 by way of Knockout, no losses or draws.

Next up was Sandy Robb versus Latvia’s Aleksandrs Roldiguns for the vacant Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Silver Cruiserweight Championship.

To describe the first round as ‘technical’ would be an understatement; both protagonists took their time, testing their opponent’s mettle with impressive strong jabs to body and head. As the round progressed Robb kicked up the pace a little and started to slip in the occasional combination, in an attempt to break down the Latvian’s defense.

Nella seconda, both decided to step up the pace, which worked well for the Scotsman, as this opened up more opportunities for Robb to breakdown Roldiguns excellent defense with crisp flowing combinations as well as a couple of big right hands to the body.

Più dello stesso nel terzo, about half way through the round Robb backed Roldiguns onto the ropes and landed a cracking shot to the side of the Latvian’s head before switching to the body, the Latvian appeared disoriented and shortly after began grabbing hold of Robb at every conceivable opportunity, in a vein attempt to prevent the Scots lad landing further big shots. Roldiguns received numerous warnings, not just for holding but also to keep his head up when in close.

The fourth round was very messy, as Roldugins continued to keep grabbing and holding Robb each time the Scotsman came close. Quite early on in the round Referee Lee Murtagh decided to put an end to the Latvian’s shenanigans by deducting a point.

Even after the deduction Robb’s attempts to get back down to boxing were thwarted, as Roldugins persisted in holding each time Robb closed the Latvian down. After numerous further warnings for holding Referee Lee Murtagh’s patience came to an end and Roldugins once more had a point deducted.

Shortly after the restart, during another close quarters foray, there was a sickening thud as the boxers heads clashed, leaving a cut over Robb’s eye. Referee Lee Murtagh deemed it to be an accidental clash of heads.

Almost immediately after this Roldugins once more grabbed hold of Robb, who had backed the Latvian onto the ropes, and began rubbing his head against the cut over Robb’s eye. This infringement was the final straw as far as Referee Lee Murtagh was concerned, immediately disqualifying Roldiguns on the 2 minute 50 second mark of the fourth round.

Following the official results announcement PBC President Mr. Russell Jacques presented Sandy Robb with the PBC Silver International Cruiserweight Championship Belt.

The third fight of the night see local lad Nathan Beattie in action against Ghana’s Tackie Annan for the PBC Silver International Lightweight title.

Right from the opening bell both lads went to work methodically, Beattie utilizing his strong jab to keep Annan at bay, whilst the Ghanaian sought out angles in an attempt to land some strong right hands to the Scotsman’s body, mostly in vein though as Beattie’s defense was as strong as they come.

Second round started out with Beattie very much in control, the Scotsman thwarting the efforts of the highly mobile Ghanaian with panache. As the round reached the midway point Annan found an opening and let rip with a big looping right hand to send Beattie crashing to the canvas.

Beattie just about made the count but was clearly disoriented and unsteady on his feet, leaving Referee Lee Murtagh no option but to wave the fight off after just 1 minute and 34 seconds of the second round.

After the official result was read out MC Douglas McAdam announced that as Tackie Annan had failed to make the Championship weight, at the weigh-in the day before, that the PBC International Lightweight Title remains vacant, as under Championship rules a boxer that fails to make the weight can still compete but is not be eligible to win the Championship, only the boxer that made the weight could actually win the crown.

The fourth and final fight of the night featured Aberdeen’s very own Lee McAllister against the very tough Ghanaian Ishmael Tetteh, for both the PBC International and Commonwealth Super Welterweight Championships.

With over a hundred pro contests between them, including numerous Championship bouts, it didn’t surprise anyone in attendance that McAllister and Tetteh would put on an all action, slick display of boxing at it’s very best, and boy oh boy did they do just that.

From the off both vied for centre ring position as if their lives depended on, no pussyfooting around with these two, it was all out war. Surprisingly it was the Ghanaian that eventually wrestled control of the middle ground, or maybe not as that seemed to suit McAllister, who throughout the first round utilized the outer ring with great effect, often he would step in and let rip with blisteringly fast combinations before moving back or stepping to the side just out of range of the countering exocets thrown by Tetteh.

Round two was just phenomenal, you just couldn’t take your eyes of the action for a second, it was mesmerizing to watch as the pair set to work on their game-plans, one moment they were going at it hammer and tongs in a toe to toe war, and the next some seriously slick boxing which had the ensemble crowd on their feet.

As the round was moving towards it’s conclusion McAllister stepped up the pace and went in hard and fast, letting rip with shots from every conceivable angle, much to the delight of the fans, who seemed convinced that their man was going in for the kill. Wow what a round.

It was more of the same in the third, but the fourth was something special. McAllister seemed determined to end the fight as quickly as possible, letting rip with power shots to head and body. Initially Tetteh would cover up and try and withstand the onslaught, but about midway through the round changed tactics and met the Scotsman head on in centre ring and started throwing bombs of his own.

Round five started off with a beautiful close quarters exchange, which must have lasted close to ten seconds and only came to an end when Tetteh appeared to slip and fall to the canvas.

As Tetteh rose to his feet, and yes Referee Lee Murtagh deemed it a slip, McAllister began rousing the crowd before going straight for the Ghanaians jugular with power shot after power shot. Tetteh stood his ground countering with great effect but on about the minute mark McAllister threw a pinpoint perfect power shot to the Ghanaian’s lower rib, to send him down to the canvas and gasping for breath.

The fans thought it was all over and began celebrating, however that soon came to an abrupt end as terminator Tetteh rose to his feet to just beat the count.

McAllister once again encouraged the crowd to get behind him, which they did with gusto, and then proceeded to go in hard and fast with sensationally quick hands to body and head, initially Tetteh stood his ground countering, but in doing so left a smidgeon of an opening that the canny Scot just couldn’t resist, letting rip with huge uppercut to the floating rib, no surprise Tetteh returned to the canvas but this time there was no chance of him making the count no matter how hard he tried.

Referee Lee Murtagh waved the bout of on the 1 minute 48 second mark of the fifth round and shortly after PBC head honcho Russell Jacques proudly presented McAllister with the stunning PBC International and Commonwealth belts.

It must have been over an hour before McAllister finally vacated the ring though as he then proceeded to invite various dignitaries, as well as numerous well wishers, into the ring to have photos taken with him and the PBC belts, which I thought was a really nice touch.

Decastro Vs Landaeta Showdown For IBF European Crown on October 21st

ASSASSIN BOXING PROMOTIONS & MANAGEMENT

 

Aberdeen, Regno Unito. Sabato 9th Settembre 2017.

 

 

British Super Middleweight Nathan ‘Nightmare’ Decastro (9-0-0 with 8KOs) is set to challenge Spain’s Ronny Landaeta (12-0-0 with 8KOs) per il vacante International Boxing Federation (IBF) European Super Middleweight European Championship at the Palacio de Deportes José María Martín Carpena a Malaga, Spain on Saturday October 21st.

 

DeCastro, the current MBC International Champion, who is currently ranked #13 in the IBF Intercontinental ratings, spoke briefly on learning of the golden opportunity.

 

“I can’t put into words what this fight means to me, I am a fighting man and fighting is my life.

 

This is a golden opportunity that I will take with both hands and show everyone what I’m made of.

 

Huge thanks to Lee (Manager Lee McAllister) for sorting this, quello che posso dire, I only signed with his Assassin Boxing Promotions and Management company a few weeks ago and already he’s already got me a shot at title.

 

To fight for any title is an honour, but to fight for a coveted IBF belt is something else.

 

I know this is not an easy fight, Ronny’s undefeated in twelve and has successfully defended his Spanish title twice against top class opposition, but then again he’s not fought me yet, I’m not called the Nightmare for nothing.”

 

Nathan’s Manager, Three Time World Champion Lee McAllister, then added

 

“This a cracking opportunity for Nathan to catapult himself in to the World rankings, exciting times ahead for him if he’s successful.

 

We know we are going into the Lions den as massive underdogs, but I will be making sure that Nathan has space in his bag for the belt when coming home.

 

Ma non è tutto, If all goes well in the next few days I hope to be announcing another Assassin Boxing Promotions and Management boxer challenging for an IBF title, here in the UK this time though”

Decastro Stops Tetteh to Secure First TitleKayes, Becelis, Cairns Impressive in Victory.

Report by: Gianluca (Fiume) Di Caro

Di Sabato notte, at the Arena UK in Grantham, Lincolnshire, local gym owner Russ Brown made his maiden outing as a professional boxing promoter and boy oh boy did he do it in style.

Whilst most people would start off at a small hall venue with a few local ticket sellers heading up the show, Russ Brown approached it a little differently, a full blown Arena show headed up with Championship bouts headlining, originally was due to be three, but due to last minute visa issues the main event, the World Super Bantamweight Unification contest between South Africa’s reigning World Boxing Federation Champion Gabisile Tshabalala and British #1 and current MBC International Champion Marianne Marston, had to be rescheduled so the irritating bureaucracy issue could be sorted.

With no Tshabalala-Marston World Unification bout, it was local unbeaten star Nathan Decastro, in his first title battle, against the highly experienced Championship campaigner Ishmael Tetteh, from Ghana, for the vacant MBC International Super Middleweight Championship that was elevated to headline the show.

Before I get onto the fights themselves I have to say how pleasant it was to be at an event where the entire audience welcomed each and every fighter to the ring with rapturous applause, that included Tetteh, who they welcomed in the manner a star fighter deserved and not a single jeer or boo to be heard.

However that paled into insignificance compared to the reception local star Decastro received, the sound was deafening and it seemed that each and every person in the arena was cheering on their man at the top of their voice as he made his ring walk.

The vocal support continued throughout the fight itself, with the fans ringside cheering every exchange, and believe me there were plenty as this was an exceptional all out toe-to-toe war that could have been fought in a phone box.

Young Decastro wasn’t overawed, far from it, instead he rose to the occasion and showcased the exceptional skills that belie his tender years.

Don’t get me wrong this wasn’t a one way affair, Tetteh is a tough, classy operator that gives his all for every second of every round and he was in sensational form, matching the local lad punch for punch in the early rounds.

The turning point in the contest came midway through the fourth, Decastro landed a wicked body shot that sent the Ghanaian down to the canvas. Tetteh is as tough as they come and just as World class referee Richie Davies reached the seven count, he made his way to his feet.

On the restart Tetteh went hard on the attack, however Decastro’s ring-craft soon came into play, spinning Tetteh so it was him with his back against the ropes and the Lincolnshire lad once more in control.

Round five was a virtual repeat of the fourth, both fighters standing toe-to toe, letting rip with huge shots to body and head right from the off. As in the previous round around the midway mark Decastro let rip with a big combination culminating with a vicious body shot to send Tetteh down to the canvas once more, this time though there was no chance that the tough Ghanaian would recover sufficiently to beat Richie Davies’ count.

The overjoyed crowd went ballistic as Decastro was presented the MBC International Championship belt by Vice Chairman, Signorina. Jennifer Burton and the celebrations went on for a good forty minutes or so.

On a side note I doubt there are many times in a boxers career that they are inundated with requests of hand shakes or selfies from fans of the opposition, but Ishmael Tetteh was, even in defeat he must have felt like the champion, quite rightly so in my opinion as he gave his all throughout the contest and made this a fight to remember.

The second Championship bout was for a World Boxing Union (WBU) UK Regional title, contested by big hitting local lad Gary Silverman and Belfast’s Marty Kayes.

The height difference between the two protagonists was really noticeable, Silverman is tall, very tall, and towered over the seemingly diminutive Kayes, however the Belfast man clearly had a plan of getting on the inside as much as possible to neutralize the reach advantage of his foe and implemented it to perfection,

The Belfast man’s performance was sublime, when not on the inside Kayes’ busy movement made life exceptionally hard for Silverman.

Throughout the bout Silverman switched tactics in an attempt to give himself the space to let rip with his patented power shots, however each time he did Kayes would find a way to neutralize any advantage the Grantham lad had gained.

After eight rounds of highly entertaining boxing it came as no surprise that Richie Davies’ scorecard read 80-73 in favour of Belfast’s Marty Kayes.

Prior to Silverman-Kayes was a sensationally closely matched Cruiserweight contest between Dainius Becelis and James Higgy.

I’m a huge fan of the Cruiserweight division, mainly due to such stars as two time IBF World Champ Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham and former WBO, WBC & WBA Champion David Haye, who dominated the division back in the late noughties. In fact I love the Cruiserweights so much that a few years ago I wrote and had published the full history of the division.

Anyway that aside, il Sabato night I was overjoyed to watch two future stars of the division in action and what a closely fought contest it was.

I always hoped that one day Steve Cunningham and David Haye would fight each other as it would have been an all action affair, a true showcase for this exciting but underrated division.

Well that never happened but if it had it would have been very similar to the Becelis-Higgy bout without doubt, so you can imagine how chuffed I was to be ringside for it. Yes it was that good.

It really was a cracking, closely fought, all action affair, so much so by the start of fourth round I couldn’t separate them and honestly expected it to end up a draw, however Becelis managed to pull off a very close victory due to his performance in the final round, don’t get me wrong Higgy performed brilliantly in the fourth too, just Becelis stepped it up enough to secure the win.

Definitely Fight of the Night in my view. After four of the most exciting rounds of boxing I have seen in a long, long while Referee Matt Scriven scorecards read 39-38 in favour of Dainius Becelis – side note: the referee’s scorecards read 1st Round 10-9 in favour of Becelis, 2nd round 9-10 in favour of Higgy, 3rd round was drawn and of course round four 10-9 to Becilis.

Prior to the Becelis-Higgy bout was another closely fought contest, this time a four round middleweight bout between local lad Scott Newcombe and Stockport, Cheshire’s Will Cairns.

As with Becelis-Higgy this was another well matched all action affair that could so easily have ended up a draw, just in this case Cairns superb performance in the early rounds was enough to see him secure the bout by a single point. Referee Matt Scriven scoring it 39-38 for Will Cairns.

The second pro bout of the night see Michael Robinson take on Scunthorpe’s Andy Pirie in a Middleweight contest.

It’s proving hard for me to come up with enough superlatives as each fight on the show were superbly well matched.

As with the Newcombe-Cairns or the Becilis-Higgy bouts, this was another that could have gone either way as both warriors gave their all for every second of each and every round and it really was hard to separate them, performance or points wise, clearly not just myself as Referee Matt Scriven scored it a 39-39 disegnare.

The opening bout of the night see Grantham’s Mickey Blackburn in action against Hyde, Cheshire’s Will O’Reilly in a four round Super Welterweight contest.

Once again the matching was spot on, and as with each and every fight on the night was a closely fought and highly exciting affair, so much so that after four enthralling rounds it really was hard to call a winner, again not just myself as Referee Matt Scriven clearly had the same dilemma as he scored it a 39-39 disegnare.

After the show promoter Russ Brown said.

“Other than the disappointment on not having Marianne (Marston) lotta, the show was spot on.

I wanted my lads to be in competitive fights, and they were, yes I know a couple lost or drew their fights but so it goes. To my mind this is professional boxing and if they are going to make it to the top they need to have competitive fights and they did.

I’m really pleased the way the show went and would like to thank the BIBA (Britannico & Irish Boxing Authority) officials who did a great job, especially the referees Richie Davies and Matt Scriven, who were spot on with their scoring.

Looking forward to planning the next show, believe me it will be even better.”

Have to congratulate Russ Brown and his team for not just hosting a superb event but also for the matching, It really is a breath of fresh air that a promoter doesn’t try to ‘build’ his fighters careers by having them face ‘journeymen’ for the first ten fights or so, instead preferring his lads to face proven young fighters right from the off, you just don’t see that very often these days.

Lotta Relazione: DeCastro KO Rozembergs come legno & Smith Punteggio Sensazionale TKO Vittorie Debut

Relazione: Gianluca Di Caro

Solitamente è o un Venerdì o Sabato notte in cui ho la mia difficoltà normale
di azione pugilistic, questa settimana anche se era un po 'diverso, come ho fatto
il viaggio da Londra a Leeds la Domenica mattina, in order to catch the latest offering from former Irish Champion, promoter girato, Lee Murtagh.

Considerando che era un Domenica pomeriggio / sera spettacolo, Ero potentemente
sorpreso, o è che impressionato, che quando sono arrivato presso la sede, a good couple of hours before the advertised start time, it was already more or less full to capacity.

Devo dire che i fan Leeds so davvero come divertirsi, il
atmosfera al Pryzm Nightclub era elettrica, so no surprise that when the highly entertaining MC, Sig. 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.

A guidare lo show è stato favorito locale Sam Smith, who was making her pro debut, contro la Lettonia Jekaterina Lecko.

Dal off entrambe le ragazze si trasferirono a prendere anello centrale, 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, prima di sparare fuori un diretto destro, which caught the Latvian flush.

Smith chiuso nuovamente e lasciare strappare con un gran destro al corpo ed un fianco
alla testa, Fecko cercò di alzarsi la sua terra, ma Smith è arrivato anche
forte costringendo la parte posteriore della Lettonia verso le corde.

Inizialmente ha usato il suo jab Fecko di grande effetto per tenere a bada Smith, ma
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 si trasferì dritto per uccidere, gettare una moltitudine di pezzi grossi,
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, contro Elvis Rozembergs della Lettonia, in un periodo di sei 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, un ex inglese Amateur Internazionale, 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 è un gioco anche se, clearly believing that attack is the best form of defense the Latvian came straight back with a series of off target looping right hands, ogni volta che presenta DeCastro con un obiettivo chiaro -Rozembergs corpo - per impostare gli occhi su, che naturalmente ha fatto, 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 lettone era chiaramente in difficoltà, instantly referee Jimmy Byrne stopped the fight and called the ringside doctor and paramedics into the ring.

Dopo pochi minuti Rozembergs è stato aiutato a rimettersi in piedi e come ha fatto
ha ricevuto applausi da parte del pubblico riconoscente.

Prima di DeCastro-Rozembergs è stato un altro debutto pro, questa volta
Middlesborough welter Chris Wood, contro Edgar Milevics.

Milevics non ha fair meglio di entrambi Lecko o Rozembergs, in fact the Latvian lad was sent to the deck in the first twenty seconds,
a seguito di legno pitching un gran destro in costole.

Milevics fatto il conteggio, 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.

Al riguardo il secondo marchio cinquanta accadde l'inevitabile, 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.

Il supporto per i tre periodi professionali, were a number of European Boxing Federation (EBF) attacchi sanzionati.

Il principale, per l'EBF Campionato Internazionale Bantamweight, 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.

I primi tre turni Cortis giocato il gioco di attesa, sperando che tutto
azione ragazza Varley sarebbe pugno se stessa fuori.

Quarto round era un molto più uniforme affare, with Cortis electing to take the fight to Varley, Inizialmente la ragazza maltese stava atterrando un buon paio di colpi, 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.

Circa il trenta segno un minuto, era Cortis in attacco di nuovo, utilizing her jab to great effect to set Varley up for a combination or two, until the final ten seconds or so, che era una punta pura ai piedi Battle Royale.

Cortis controllava la maggior parte degli ultimi due turni, con qualche
bello boxing, Varley ancora dato una grande considerazione di se stessa, solo il
quantità di lavoro che aveva messo in durante i primi giri aveva praticamente
lei drenato.

Era chiaro che stava per essere vicino, and it was with Varley securing the title by a very, molto vicino 58-57 decisione punti.

I risultati del resto della scheda EBF erano:

Di York Carly McKenzie ha segnato un eccellente 40-37 punti vittoria su
Di Bridlington Mel Halstead per il titolo Area Centrale EBF Featherweight.

Leeds’s Graham Mattison scored a one minute and fifty second second round TKO victory over Blackpool’s Richard Leak in the EBF Northern Heavyweight contest.

Leeds 'Jay Stevenson ha segnato un 30-28 punti vittoria su Stoke Phil McGinn.

Leeds 'Liam Hayes ha segnato un 40-37 punti vittoria su Stoke Lewis Sherrat

Manchester Jimmy oro ha segnato una stretta 29-28 victory over Bramley’s Philip Walker.
