Indian Star Neeraj Goyat, who was set to fight Amir Khan in 2019 makes his UK Debut in AberdeenWBC Asia Champion Neeraj Goyat Co-Headlines Let Battle Commence IV on the 29th MayLive on FITE TV

Londres – Friday 16th April 2021


WBC Asia Champion Neeraj Goyat Co-Headlines Let Battle Commence IV on the 29th MayLive on FITE TV
Indian Star Neeraj Goyat, who was set to fight Amir Khan in 2019 makes his UK Debut in Aberdeen


Sis cops, five division World Champion and Promoter Lee Mcallister announced that he and World Boxing Council (CMB) Asia Welterweight Champion Neeraj Goyal will co-headline LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV, that takes place on the 29th May 2021 and broadcast live on FITE TV, as well as further linear and digital channels globally.


Reigning WBC Asia Champion Goyat is probably the best known Indian boxer by fans of the pugilistic arts, following the announcement back in 2019 that he was to face Amir Khan in a mega fight in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately prior to the much anticipated showdown, Goyat was seriously injured in a car crash and had to pull out, Khan fought Australia’s Billy Dib.


Goyat fully recovered from his injuries and immediately got back to winning ways, in his most recent contest, that took place at the Majestic Pride Ship, Panjim, India back in March this year Goyat knocked-out Sandeep Kumar després de just 34 segons de la quarta ronda.


On making the announcement McAllister said, “I’m a big fan of Neeraj.


“We had planned to bring him to the UK back in 2019, but when the opportunity to fight Amir was put on the table I just tore up the contract. Fighting Amir on an internationally broadcast event was a huge opportunity for Neeraj and I wasn’t going to stand in the way.


“To say I was gutted the fight didn’t happen is an understatement as the fans world-wide would have seen just how talented Neeraj is.


“So here we are two years later and finally we are going to have Neeraj fight on one of our shows and unlike when we were originally bringing him over, now our events are televised, so finally fans worldwide will get to see just what an immense talent he is.”


In mid-March 2020, like all sporting events, Professional Boxing shows world-wide were cancelled, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.


UK Government restrictions were relaxed in July 2020 so that sporting events could resume, however with the proviso that no spectators would be allowed to attend. With this in mind McAllister joined forces with the British & Autoritat irlandesa de boxa (BIBA) to create a series of Professional Boxing events that take place ‘Behind Closed Doors’.


La presa de possessió QUE COMENÇA LA BATALLA esdeveniment, that took place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel in Aberdeen on Saturday 18th July 2020, was headlined by longtime WBO Featherweight King Scott Harrison versus PBC International Champion Paul Peers. The main support featured the professional debut of ten time Kickboxing World Champion Caitlin Foran.


QUE COMENÇA LA BATALLA II, took place on Friday 4th September 2020 and was headlined by PBC & WBU International Champion Nathan Beattie versus UK based Nicaraguan Julio Bendana. The undercard featured no less than three female contests, including two of the UK’s top female amateur boxers, Hollie Towl i Eleanor Coulson, making their professional debuts, this event also took place behind closed doors in Aberdeen.


The third edition, QUE COMENÇA LA BATALLA – LES LLEONAS, that takes place on Saturday 24th April 2021 is set to enter the record books as the first all Female professional boxing event to take place not only in the UK but also the first in Europe.


Joining the much lauded duo McAllister i Goyat on the 29th May 2021 LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV són;


PBC/WBU International Super Lightweight Champion Nathan Beattie, rising unbeaten Super Featherweight prospect Kevin Traynor, stylish unbeaten Heavyweight prospect Craig Dick, unbeaten Middleweight prospect Adam Stewart, local Heavyweight Liam Allan makes his second professional outing, whilst Indian Featherweight Sukhdeep Singh makes his professional debut.


LET BATTLE COMMENCE IV co-headlined by Lee Mcallister i Neeraj Goyal will take place behind closed doors at the Northern Hotel, Aberdeen on the 29th May 2021 and will be broadcast live on FITE TV as well as further linear and digital channels globally (please check local listings)

THE UK’S NEXT BOXING SUPERSTAR, UNDEFEATED SUPER BANTAMWEIGHT SHABAZ ‘THE MAVERICKMASOUD, SIGNS ON AS ATHLETE BRAND AMBASSADOR FOR BRAINS PURE CBD

Reaffirming its committed support of professional boxing around the world, Brains Bioceutical Corp., a leading manufacturer of THC-free cannabidiol (CBD) productes, proudly announces the addition of one of the UK’s most promising young prospects, undefeated super bantamweight Shabaz “The Maverick” Masoud (7-0, 1 KO), to its growing stable of athletic brand ambassadors.

With the foot-speed of a laser pointer, an awkward but virtually impregnable defense, and blazingly fast hands that seldom miss the mark, the 25-year-old British Pakistani native of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, in the UK often bears an uncanny stylistic resemblance to his superstar idol, former featherweight showman Prince Naseem Hamed.

Undefeated in his young professional career, the formidable Masoud is yet to lose even a single round on any judge’s scorecard. Masoud will proudly adorn his trunks with Brains Pure CBD branding on Friday, Març 19, when he faces countryman Louis Norman at Bolton Whites Hotel in Bolton, Lancashire, UK and streaming live on ESPN+at 1:00 pm EST/10:00 am PST. The IFL TV broadcast of the card is expected to start at 7:30 pm (GTM).

“We are in the hurt business,” said Masoud, “and bumps and bruises and even nagging injuries are just part of the game. Brains Pure CBD really helps with the wear-and-tear my body goes though in training camp everyday. Not only does it help to speed my recovery time from minor injuries, but it also helps me get to sleep at night, so I’m always my best in the gym. And it’s not full of mystery chemicals that might get you in trouble with the boxing commissions.


Brains is all-natural, plant-based product with zero prohibited THC. That’s clinically researched and tested by leading sports authorities. Like with any opponent, I did my research and have found that not all CBDs are created equally. Brains is the only CBD I trust. I’m very happy to be partnering with them on a product I very much believe in for my run to the world championship.”

Brains Bioceutical, who have sponsored several recent boxing events worldwide, have also joined forces with 18-0 welterweight standout Custio Clayton of Canada, MTK’s recent “The Golden Contract” Light Heavyweight tournament and world-renowned UK-based trainer of champions, Ben Davison’s state-of-the-art Performance Centre, located outside London, Anglaterra.

Incidentally, Davison, who has worked with a long list of boxing luminaries including Josh Taylor and Billy Joe Saunders, as well as heavyweight king Tyson Fury previously, has given Masoud an important seal of approval by signing on as his trainer.

“Masoud has the potential of a pound-for-pound-level fighter,” said Davison. “I believe he can achieve that. He’s like Naz was in his prime and he has all the same swagger and showmanship. He’s also a good kid who works hard in the gym to reach his goals. That’s why I was happy to find out he had been acquired by the Brains Bioceutical people who are innovating CBD’s countless benefits for an athletes’ rest and recovery.”


Brains will also have a presence on the ring canvas at the Hotel Plaza in Quebec City, Canadà, el dimarts, Març 16, for promoter Yvon Michel’s upcoming event “The Homecoming,” his first in 16 mesos. La $29.99 PPV card is headlined by a rematch featuring WBC #1 bridgerweight Oscar “Kaboom” Rivas (26-1, 18 KOs) and Sylvera “Sly” Louis (8-5, 4 KOs) en l'esdeveniment principal de vuit rondes.

“Shabaz Masoud is a welcome addition to our worldwide team of athlete ambassadors,” said Ricky Brar, CEO & President, Brains Bioceutical Corp. He has the skills and the personality to become boxing’s newest superstar and Brains Pure CBD will be right by his side.”

“As the makers of one of the world’s purest CBD products, tested by a World Anti-Doping Agency approved lab, Brains Pure CBD is ideal for fighters,” Brar continued. We’re proud of our roles in the lives of some of the bravest competitors in all of sport.”

“The Homecoming” will be livestreamed by FITE worldwide on the FITE mobile app, totes les principals aplicacions OTT i lloc web (FITE.tv), a partir de 8 p.m. I / 5 p.m. PT, for USD $29.99 (available in English or French). It will also be available in Canada via Canal Indigo, Campana TV, Shaw TV and YOOP for $39.99 CDN.

Després de l'èxit de la inauguració LET BATTLE COMMENCE, en associació amb PAPA JOHN’S PIZZA & BEGUDA ENERGÈTICA DE NEON, que va tenir lloc al Northern Hotel d'Aberdeen el cap de setmana passat, el promotor Lee Mcallister ha anunciat dos esdeveniments més de la sèrie que s'emetran en directe i en exclusiva a FITE TV els dissabtes 1 d'agost i dissabte 15 d'agost. 2020.

Abans d'Harrison-Peers, els fans sintonitzats van veure un Battle Royale increïble entre ells 10 Caitlin Foran, campiona del món de Kick Boxing, que estava fent el seu debut a la boxa professional, i el Consell Professional de Boxa (PBC) Campió Internacional de Bronze Jaime Bates, que va intervenir com a reemplaçament tardà després que la rival original Carly Mackenzie es va trencar dos dits en un accident d'equitació el cap de setmana anterior.. Després de sis rondes increïblement lluitades, Foran va aconseguir la victòria per un tancat 58-56 compte de punts.

La tercera lluita de la nit va ser una fantàstica guerra d'acció entre el invicte Lewis Mulberry i el nicaragüenc Johnson Tellez.. Estic segur que els que miraven a la televisió estaven tan encantats amb l'acció com jo, El nom de l'anell de Mulberry és "Machine Gun" i creieu-me que és el sobrenom més adequat, com la 19 d'un any va salpar el cos del seu oponent molt més experimentat amb esquerra i dreta ràpida i poderosa a un ritme mega ràpid.

Quina lluita més gran, tots dos protagonistes van fer-ho amb martell i pinces durant gairebé quatre rondes abans que el poder de Stewart entrés en joc al final del quart. Amb al voltant 25 el segon més o menys de la ronda que quedava Stewart va disparar un Exocet massiu per enviar el nicaragüenc a la coberta, Zeledon estava clarament dolorós quan va intentar posar-se dempeus sense èxit. Hora oficial d'aturada 2 minuts i 40 segons de la quarta ronda.

A mesura que avançava la segona estrofa, Allan va treballar darrere del seu magnífic cop per crear unes bones obertures, que va prendre sense pensar-s'ho dues vegades. A la meitat de la segona ronda, una obertura d'aquesta mena va permetre al jove deixar trencar amb un xut massiu que va enviar Leon a la coberta.. León va fer el recompte i es va reprendre la boxa, després amb al voltant 30 segons de la ronda restant Allan va crear una altra obertura i va tornar a deixar trencar i va fer un gran tir per enviar el sud-americà a la lona per segona vegada., el dur porto-riqueny va intentar tornar a posar-se de peu però no va aconseguir fer el recompte, l'hora oficial de l'aturada va ser 2 minuts i 40 segon.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH 10 TIME WORLD KICKBOXING CHAMPION CAITLIN FORAN AHEAD OF HER PRO BOXING DEBUT

With this pandemic lockdown in full force virtually world-wide, many fights have been already been cancelled, from the biggest, such as Anthony Joshua versus Kubrat Pulev, right through to many small hall events.


Whilst clearly the lockdown is affecting everyone involved in our beloved sport, it made me think of those that had been preparing for their professional boxing debut, such as today’s victim, sorry guest, Caitlin Foran, who was due to debut in Orkney on the 25th April.


Caitlin is a ten time Kickboxing World Champion, quite an accomplishment for someone that is still just 19 anys d'edat, let’s face it to achieve such a high status in any sport at such a young age is quite an accomplishment and without doubt her extensive combat sports experience is going to benefit her when this pandemic is over and she makes her pro debut.


I actually had the pleasure of meeting Caitlin back in March at an event in Barrow-in-Furness, where she was supporting Paul Peers when he challenged, and beat, Nicaraguan Milton Arauz for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International title, and always intended to cover her pro debut, but with that put back until later in the year due to the current situation decided instead to arrange an interview with her.


Enough of my waffle, let’s get to know this amazing teen star a little better.




(GDC) Hello Caitlin, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions for us. My first question is I understand you are a multi-World Champion Kick Boxer, can you please tell our readers a little about your Kick Boxing career?




(CF) So I started kickboxing in 2008 at the age of eight, at the time I was juggling kickboxing with lots of other sports and activities but over time my attention just stuck with kickboxing and it became my life.


I certainly wasn’t one of these people that had a talent for the sport. I wasn’t flexible, I had no confidence, but the one thing I did have that has carried me through to this day is determination.


Living on an island we weren’t able to get to as many competitions as other clubs on the mainland could which meant we knew we had to really put in the extra effort to make up for the lack of experience.


Also coming from a large family where my mother was a single parent to 5 children meant I rarely was able to get away to compete and didn’t really start competing properly until I got my black belt in 2011.


I then started competing usually once a month with the first big one being the WKA Scottish championships in Glasgow where I won 2x golds, that was my first big confidence booster and I went on to compete more often winning more Scottish titles as well as British and European.


I then got invited to my first world championships in 2013 in Italy where I came away with a bronze medal.


I always preferred points fighting when I was competing, which is a more karate style, ‘start stop’ estil de lluita, but at my second World championships in Prague in 2014, there was a woman without a fight for her ring Continuous section so I was asked if I would take the fight.


I’ve never been one to turn down a fight so I took the fight and ended up winning it as well as two others so I came away with my first three World titles and new love for ring fighting.


Des 2014 a 2017 I went on to win seven more World titles in various countries.


Per 2016/17 my kickboxing career was really taking off and I was looking at turning professional sometime soon, however at the end of 2017 my coach Ryan Reffell sadly passed which put an end to my kickboxing career.


(GDC) What influenced you to switch from Kick Boxing to Professional Boxing?


(CF) As I mentioned previously, I have never been a naturally flexible person so in kickboxing my legs were predominantly used for powerful body single kicks.


While I was still training with Ryan as part of Nemesis Kickboxing, at the end of 2015 we decided I was getting better with my hands and started thinking about switching to boxing.


This lead Ryan to start boxing classes on a Monday night as well as the kickboxing classes through the week.


I was offered my first fight that September with 4 days notice for the UKBC featherweight international title. I went on to win the fight and defended it in a rematch that December.


2017 was when I really started to focus more on boxing and less on kickboxing and had two more fights, with the last fight in my unlicensed career being a Five Nations title fight in April 2017 which brought my record to 4-0-0.


I thought my boxing career had ended then, until Paul Peers moved to Orkney in 2018 and got in touch via Facebook which then kickstarted my training again as he showed great interest in my boxing and was a massive help in getting my love for the sport back and showed that he believed in me which made me more confident in myself and got myself back to training properly again ahead of signing my professional contract in January this year.


(GDC) You were due to be undertaking your professional boxing debut in Orkney on the 25th April, obviously this is being rescheduled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so firstly how have your preparations been going?


(CF) Sí, it was devastating when all this started but I am making sure to keep as active as I can with daily running and home exercises making use of the little space I do have at home.


(GDC) Has the Government ordered lockdown had an effect on your preparations?


(CF) Prior to lockdown we were getting sparring in at least once or twice a week at the club and had started our partnership with Lee Mcallister at Assassin’s boxing in Aberdeen in order to mix Orkney Boxing Clubs fighters with theirs for some sparring at weekends.


We only managed this once so far with weather being bad and boats not certain to run but were planning more in the lead up to the show.


(GDC) When the lockdown ends and the new date is announced, your opponent is stated to be Carly Mackenzie, do you know much about her?


(CF) I was originally due to fight Carly Mackenzie however my opponent recently changed to Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Silver Champion Jamie Bates Wallis. I don’t know a great deal about Jamie to be honest but from what I’ve seen she is a strong orthodox boxer with a strong offence and sharp defence.


I took the fight knowing it would be a challenge especially being my first fight back in 3 any.
She’s proved to be a champion so in order for me to become a champion I must beat champions.


(GDC) Moving away from your career to date, who is your favourite boxer, mascle o femella, i per què?


(CF) My favourite boxer to date has got to be Katie Taylor. She has played a massive part in getting Women’s boxing to where it is today and is a real inspiration to any athlete out there as she has shown that any obstacle can be overcome if you really want something.


(GDC) In the same vein, which is your all time favourite fight, i per què?


(CF) It is so hard to choose a favourite fight but one has to be Katie Taylor’s most recent fight against Christina Linardatou as she continued her winning record and added WBO Super-Lightweight world title to her ever growing list of achievements. Usually Taylor would be getting stuck into the fight, firing shot after shot. However she kept to the outside this time boxing smart and not wasting energy.


(GDC) Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, finally is there anyone you would like to mention with regard to your upcoming debut?


(CF) I would like to give thanks to my sponsor, Gary Sutherland at GSRI, Steven Logie at Strength 101 for keeping me in shape and Paul Peers for everything he has done over the last year and a half to get my confidence back up and reignite my love for boxing. I would also like to give a shout out to all of my old teammates at Nemesis kickboxing Academy and Nemesis Boxing Gym without them I wouldn’t be where I am today.

About The Kiyan Prince Foundation:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation was established in 2008 in memory of Kiyan Prince, Dr Prince’s fifteen-year-old son and a talented footballer who was stabbed in the heart, whilst trying to break up a fight, outside his school gates. This devastating tragedy marked the beginning of a journey which has not only transformed Dr Prince’s life but also equipped him with the knowledge and skills to support families and help prevent similar cases. In this process, he has had to defeat two of life’s toughest challenges – anger and revenge, find the strength to forgive and the commitment to substitute anger with positive life skills.

About Kiyan Prince:

Kiyan Prince was the first son born to Mark Prince and Tracy Cumberbatch on 25th November 1990.

He was an outgoing and well loved young man who got along with everybody. Teachers, fellow pupils, Queens Park Rangers football team… in fact anyone who came into contact with Kiyan counted it a privilege to have done so.

On May 18th 2006 Kiyan’s life came to a tragic, untimely and unnecessary end. The loving nature, by which he was known, was what made him step in and defend his friend who was being picked on by another youth.

The incident took place outside the gates of his school, the London Academy, located in Edgware North London. Kiyan attempted to resolve the situation in the most peaceable way by directly challenging the aggressor.

The ‘killer’, 16 year old Hannad Hasan, felt that Kiyan had disrespected him because he stood up to him. He then turned and callously killed Kiyan – plunging a knife straight into his chest. Kiyan died of a single, but fatal, stab wound to his heart.

Kiyan, who played for Queens Park Rangers Under-16’s football team. He was dubbed ‘The Bullet’ because of his speed and he was hailed as the next Wayne Rooney… tipped to play for England.

Kiyan was a beautiful, thoughtful, kind and considerate young man. . How he lived was reflected in the way he died… in probably the last words he ever spoke…

Even though he must have been very scared and in pain… in dying he still represented the life he lived. His heart was so full of love and empathy for others. In his final minutes his thoughts were, fins i tot llavors, still of others. As he lay bleeding he told his friends: “if these are my last words… tell my Mum I love her.”

About Mark Prince:

Dr Mark Prince is CEO and Founder of the Kiyan Prince Foundation, a charity borne out of pain, suffering and grief. Through a series of personal challenges (sensellarisme, drugs and alcohol abuse and criminal activity); triumphs and tragedy, the then known Mark Prince, developed a burning desire to support young people embroiled in a downward spiral of urban violence. The devastating tragedy of his son’s murder in 2006 further confirmed the importance of early intervention in a young person’s life in order to prevent what often seems like an inevitable journey into despair.

Education and Sport:

A significant part of the foundation’s work is to target school aged children and young people from primary through to secondary and tertiary education, through mentoring, life skills and training programmes. Being a professional boxer achieving titles such as the IBF and WBO Inter-continental Light-heavy weight Championship by (1997) and fighting for a world title in 1998, Dr Prince has invaluable skills and experiences that help in the development and transformation of young people’s lives for good. His autobiography The Prince of Peace written by Dr Prince and Paul Zanon is already a best seller.

Collaboration:

The Kiyan Prince Foundation is a project that has seen Dr Prince collaborate with a range of notable individuals, organisations, els mitjans de comunicació, government officials and celebrities to shine a light on the socio-economic issues impacting on young people and families nationally. He has been involved in the creation and the was the feature of the ITV documentary, “Put the Knives and Guns Down” screened on ITV London Tonight Special; panel member for The News of The World’s “Save Our Streets” campaign; keynote speaker at Metropolitan Police Operation Trident Program; and guest speaker at conferences such as, the NBCPA National Black Crown Prosecutors Association Annual Conference and the National Governor Prison Association Annual Conference.

Recognition and Vision:

In recognition of the significant contribution to the community and fight against knife crime, Dr Prince has received several well-deserved awards e.g. The Children’s Champion Award from Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Excel University; and recently in the Queen’s New Year Honours list (2019) to receive an OBE.

It is the foundation’s vision to obtain funding/raise the revenue to deliver#inspiringfuturechampions a campaign which involves delivering powerful messages to every school in London first, with inspirational speakers who are high level influencers amongst young people together with Dr Prince sharing with them how to utilise their strength of will, recognise their potential, individuality, purpose, how to value themselves, come back from adversity and the power of self-belief, which when understood all leads to young people steering clear of guns and knives which is a problem of the mind and not of the knife.

The Freeman Juggernaut Rolls OnStops O’Reilly in Four

Liverpool’s unbeaten Middleweight prospect Martin Freeman made an emphatic statement on Saturday night, with his fourth round stoppage victory over Will O’Reilly at the Jubilee Sports Bank in his home city.

La 26 year old Liverpudlian exuded class throughout the contest, even when being forced onto the back foot by the ever moving forward all out attack tactics employed by O’Reilly, Freeman just adapted his tactics to counter and control the contest in sensational fashion.

The Liverpudlian’s power was the defining factor of the contest, especially in the fourth, when a massive right from Freeman shook O’Reilly to the core, forcing the Mancunian battler to stagger back onto the ropes and cover up just as the contest approached the minute mark of the round.

In an instant Freeman stepped forward and let rip with a scintillating bombardment of massive lefts and rights, O’Reilly covered up and absorbed the first couple of shots on the gloves and arm, but Freeman’s power and precise placement ensured that the Liverpudlian’s Exocets began to power their way through the Mancunian’s guard with little resistance, after a couple of particularly venomous head shots referee Chris Kelly stepped in and stopped the contest on the one minute and two second mark of the fourth round.

Following the fight Freeman said;

I am really pleased with my performance from Saturday night.

“Yes it was a tough fight and my opponent not only took some of my best shots but he also gave some good punches too!

“I’m definitely glad I got some good rounds in too as I won my last two fights in the first round.”

Freeman’s gym mate Lee Cooper was also on the card and secured a shut out points victory over Kyle McNicholas.

Both Freeman and Cooper will be back in action on the next Kyle Gallagher promoted Victory Fight Club event at the Jubilee Sports Bank on 28th March 2020.

Decastro atura sensacionalment Castaneda a Cinc a Lincoln

Informe: Gianluca Di Caro

Dissabte a la nit, a la sala de màquines de la Universitat de Lincoln, els aficionats locals es van mostrar amb força per donar suport al noi local Nathan Decastro en la seva defensa de la Unió Mundial de Boxa (UMC) El títol mundial de pes súper mitjà que ostenta des de l'abril i ha intentat afegir la World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Corona a la seva col·lecció contra el difunt substitut Fernando Castaneda de Mèxic.

Origally Deacastro, tanmateix el dimecres Varela, que es trobava a Espanya en aquell moment, Les autoritats espanyoles li van denegar un visat de sortida quan va arribar a l'aeroport de Barcelona per al seu vol al Regne Unit., així que no va poder fer el viatge a Lincoln.

La lluita en si va ser un afer força desordenat, a causa de la continuïtat de Castaneda, després de l'aterratge de Decastro, un tir brutal al cos al principi del primer que estava clarament afectant el mexicà, ja que cada vegada que Decastro s'apropava i deixava trencar, s'agafava per evitar més càstigs al cos.

La segona i la tercera ronda van anar en una línia similar, tot i que per ser justos hi va haver una mica més de boxa, més que lluitar, acció. Decastro va treballar el cos del seu enemic sempre que va tenir l'oportunitat, que no era tan sovint a causa de les tàctiques del mexicà de colpejar i aguantar.

La quarta ronda va ser molt més oberta després que l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh tingués paraules dures amb Castaneda sobre la celebració, tant és així que hi va haver uns quants intercanvis verinosos que van seguir, però cada vegada que Decastro apuntava al cos, Castaneda encara s'aferraria inicialment, així que Decastro va començar a disparar exocets al cap.

Decastro clarament va tenir prou de sentir-se frustrat per la tàctica de Castaneda quan va començar la cinquena estrofa., l'home de Bardney va canviar lleugerament de tàctica i va començar a avançar molt més i més ràpid i va fer alguns xuts seriosos en el primer minut més o menys., Castaneda va respondre de la mateixa manera però de manera força ineficaç a causa de la seva determinació de protegir el seu cos de més càstigs mantenint la distància..

A la meitat de la ronda, Decastro va recolzar el mexicà cap a la corda i va fingir un cop, fent que Castaneda aixequés les mans el suficient per crear una obertura i deixar-se trencar amb un ganxo massiu al cos que va enviar el mexicà a la lona doblada pel dolor..

Castaneda inicialment va intentar aixecar-se, però immediatament es va esfondrar i es va retorçar de dolor, L'àrbitre Lee Murtagh va renunciar immediatament a la lluita i va convocar el metge al ring mentre Decastro i el seu equip començaven les seves celebracions.. Temps oficial d'aturada un minut i trenta-vuit segons de la cinquena ronda.

Abans de Decastro-Castaneda veureu Sophie Varley en acció contra Jaime Bates per al Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Campionat Internacional de Bronze.

He de dir que va ser una lluita de principi a fi, les dues noies van lluitar molt durant els dos minuts sencers de cada ronda. Varley aterrant alguns cops molt grans, inclòs un en el sisè que va sacsejar Bates fins al cor, no tenia les cames, però d'alguna manera no només va aconseguir mantenir-se dempeus, sinó que va ser prou intel·ligent com per donar-se uns segons per recuperar la compostura fent un cop per mantenir a Varley a ratlla..

Cada ronda va ser tota acció i molt a prop, tant que no els vaig poder dividir, puntuació sàvia, en algunes de les rondes i al meu parer cadascuna havia assegurat un parell de rondes i he d'admetre que vaig pensar que el resultat seria un empat, Em vaig equivocar (És evident que no sóc material de Jutge) tal com llegeixen les fitxes dels tres jutges experimentats; Adrian Thorne 57-59, James Ancliff 57-58 i Graeme Beauly 56-59 tots a favor de Jaime Bates.

Abans de Varley-Bates hi va haver una altra baralla entre el debutant Zac Lane de Sheffield i el nicaragüenc Frederick Castro..

El xoc d'estils va ser el que realment va fer aquesta lluita, Castro té un davanter diferent amb un estil d'atac total, mentre que Layne's emula l'estil del príncep Naseem, i noi, noi, el jove va fer seu aquest estil, submergir-se i balancejar-se fora de perill abans de llançar contraataques cada vegada que el nicaragüenc atacava. Dir que hauria de subratllar Layne no és gens unidimensional, quan calia estava més que feliç d'anar cara a cara, deixant trencar amb extremadament ràpids i potents esquerres i dretes.

Va ser una gran lluita de veure, tancar i tota l'acció al llarg. Després de quatre rondes fantàstiques, l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh va anotar el concurs 39-37 a favor del debutant Zac Layne, per a molèstia de Castro i el seu córner que va envoltar l'àrbitre disputant el marcador, que entenc perfectament ja que era el més agressiu, però he de dir que Layne va neutralitzar els atacs del mexicà amb facilitat i la seva contraposició va ser sensacional i, al meu entendre, havia fet més que suficient per assegurar la victòria..

Abans de Layne versus Castro va ser un altre thriller d'acció, el temps entre dos lluitadors invictes Sugar Atahasan de la República Turca de Xipre contra Jack Jones de Leeds.

Atahasan va dominar la primera estrofa utilitzant el seu avantatge d'abast amb molt bon efecte. No obstant això, no ho va fer tot a la seva manera, especialment a mesura que la lluita va avançar cap al segon, mentre Jones va treballar pacientment creant obertures abans de deixar-se trencar amb grans trets al cos i al cap d'Atahasan..

Atahasan va augmentar la velocitat i realment ho va fer a la tercera, i com en els primers procediments dominats. Molt del mateix a la quarta, bé fins aproximadament a la meitat quan Jones va aprofitar un error defensiu d'Atahasan i va aconseguir un xut de préssec que va enviar el turc-xipriota a la lona.. Atahasan amb prou feines va tocar terra i es va posar dempeus en un instant i a la represa va entrar fort i ràpid encara que fins al final de la ronda..

Després de quatre rondes sensacionals, es va llegir la fitxa de l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh 37-38 a favor de Jack Jones.

La quarta competició de la nit va enfrontar a Paul Peers del Liverpool de les Orcades contra el tanzà Amos Mwamakula en una ronda de quatre.

Una vegada més, quina fantàstica guerra d'acció, Els companys van entrar fort i ràpid i van continuar acumulant pressió amb xuts massius al cos i al cap durant tota la primera ronda., Mwamakula és tan clarament tan dur com és capaç de suportar els atacs intensos i poderosos dels Peers.

El segon va ser una mica menys intens, ja que Peers va optar per canviar lleugerament de tàctica, frenant el ritme i agafant els seus tirs. Molt igual a la tercera, però a la quarta Peers va augmentar una mica el ritme i com a la primera va apuntar el cos del tanzà molt dur.

Després de quatre excel·lents rondes de boxa, es va llegir la fitxa de l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh 40-36 a favor de Paul Peers.

Abans de Peers vs Mwamakula va ser un concurs de pesos pesats entre Lee Kellett de Barrow-in-Furness i Tomas Vaicickas de Lituània..

De nou, això va ser un ple de guerra, amb tots dos homes sortint de ple durant bona part del concurs. L'actuació de Kellet va ser la millor que he vist d'ell en molt de temps, semblava confiat i realment estava posant tant de poder darrere dels seus trets.

Vaicickas és tan dur com ells i va absorbir feliçment els grans trets que arribaven de l'home Barrow abans de contrarestar l'estil.. Mentre Kellet va dominar el primer cop de rondes, Vaicickas va entrar en el seu compte a la tercera després d'augmentar el ritme.

El quart, però, va ser tot Kellet, Tant és així que quan la lluita entrava a l'últim minut, el lituà semblava rendir-se i quedar-se d'esquena a les cordes a causa del ritme que Kellett havia marcat i absorbir cops de puny a voluntat..

Després de quatre grans rondes, va ser el marcador de l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh, que sense cap sorpresa llegeix 39-36 a favor de Lee Kellett.

La segona lluita de la nit va enfrontar el Metin Turunc de la República Turca de Xipre amb el de Puerto Rico Jose F Leon.

Turunc va començar fort i ràpid, llançar bombes massives a cada oportunitat i, literalment, estava maltractant a León, que amb prou feines trobava una obertura per contrarestar-se amb tants cops grossos constantment arribant-se.

El córner del porto-riqueny estava tan preocupat que al minut marcat de la primera volta el seu córner va tirar la tovallola per intentar salvar el seu home un càstig més., tanmateix, l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh només va treure la tovallola i va deixar que la lluita continués, cosa que va fer, però no durant molt de temps, ja que Turunc va fer un altre xut enorme per enviar a Leon a baix i fora al minut i vint-i-set segons de la primera ronda..

Si us plau, no m'equivoquis, Sí, tot era trànsit en un sol sentit, com sembla ser habitual amb Turunc, L'he vist lluitar abans i sé com d'implacable és, León va fer tot el possible per mantenir-se en la lluita, però va ser superat pel poderós i dur xipriota turc..

La baralla d'obertura de la nit realment va marcar el to de tota la vetllada, com espero haver deixat clar abans que tot excepte el main event i, per descomptat, Turunc vs Leon, totes les baralles es van lluitar estretament amb Battle Royale del més alt nivell, bé, creieu-me el combat inicial, entre el debut de Lewis Mulberry i el Girona, Pablo Narvaez, nicaragüenc, amb seu a Espanya, tornava a ser un altre nivell, va ser sensacional.

Mulberry realment ho va fer des de la campana d'obertura i va fer una caixa sensacional, Narvaez és un talent, així que no és d'estranyar que estigués preparat per a una batalla i va donar el millor que va rebre a canvi, no obstant això, les coses van anar una mica malament per al nicaragüenc a la primera quan va ser atrapat per un xut i enviat a la lona – diré que he vist Narvaez en acció unes quantes vegades i aquesta és la primera vegada que el veig abatut, així que felicitats al jove Mulberry.

La segona ronda veu Narvaez amb una mentalitat una mica més defensiva, encara que encara feliç d'anar cara a cara amb el jove gran cop de puny. La tercera ronda, però, veieu un revés en la fortuna, ja que Narvaez realment va començar a prendre un punt dels procediments, que va permetre a Mulberry mostrar el seu talent defensiu i el seu sensacional contraatac. La quarta va ser una guerra total amb els dos homes que hi van jugar durant els tres minuts complets. Després de quatre rondes brillants de boxa, l'àrbitre Lee Murtagh va anotar el concurs 39-37 a favor del debutant Lewis Mulberry.

He de fer de Mulberry contra Narvaez la lluita de la Nit, va ser magnífic, i també he de dir que Mulberry està molt impressionat, ell és el veritable negoci, té totes les eines al pit per arribar fins al cim en el nostre estimat esport, Jo, per exemple, no puc esperar per tornar-lo a veure en acció, això és segur.
