Sebelum hosnya yang dilanjutkan, Fury 6-kaki-9 menubuhkan dirinya sebagai peninju kelas berat utama di dunia dengan menjadi lelaki pertama yang mengalahkan Wladimir Klitschko lebih dari sekadar 11 tahun.

 

 

 

Planet (35-4-1, 21 KOs), Southpaw 6-kaki-5 yang melawan Jerman, telah dua kali mencabar untuk gelaran dunia kelas berat. Pianeta berhadapan dengan juara yang tidak bersatu padu Wladimir Klitschko di 2013 dan kalah dalam tawaran untuk gelaran menengah terhadap Ruslan Chagaev di 2015.

 

 

 

Inilah yang dikatakan oleh pejuang di Europa Hotel di Belfast pada hari Selasa:

 

Tyson Fury

"Tyson Fury lama hilang. Tyson Fury dari tiga tahun yang lalu dan seterusnya selesai. Mari kita hadapi itu, Kita semua bergerak ke hadapan dalam kehidupan dengan usia dan pengalaman dan saya tidak mahu tinggal di masa lalu. Saya ingin hidup untuk hari ini dan memperbaiki siapa saya esok. Tyson Fury baru ada di sini sekarang dan janji saya adalah untuk melawan yang baik. Sama ada itu lebih baik atau lebih buruk daripada Tyson Fury lama, Kami akan mengetahui pada malam Sabtu.

 

 

 

"Apa yang anda mungkin lihat dari saya pada hari Sabtu adalah gula kelas berat Ray Leonard. Apa -apa yang kurang adalah kegagalan.

 

 

 

"Saya mahu memenangi gelaran dunia lagi jadi saya perlu menaikkan permainan saya. Saya telah keluar dari cincin selama tiga tahun hampir. Ini adalah pertempuran yang sukar untuk menurunkan berat badan yang saya hilang. Sudah mencabar dan lama, pertempuran keras untuk kembali ke tempat saya berada.

 

 

 

"Saya belajar kelas berat saya dan saya tahu Francesco telah berjuang beberapa lelaki yang sangat baik. Dia mempunyai kemenangan yang sangat baik, Dia 28-0 Semasa dia berjuang Klitschko. Saya tidak meremehkan Francesco. Saya tahu dia sangat besar, rakan yang kuat dan dia tahu jika dia memenangi perjuangan ini maka dia boleh terus bertarung (Deontay) Liar bukan saya. Ini semua untuk bermain.

 

 

 

"Dalam tinju kelas berat, Sekiranya anda mengawasi gol selama sepuluh saat, anda keluar dari sana. Saya tahu apa yang diharapkan, Saya mengharapkan dia membawa 'permainan' nya dan dia akan cuba mengetuk saya kerana itulah yang mereka semua lakukan. Mudah-mudahan, Dia tidak berjaya dan kami mengadakan pertunjukan yang hebat dan menghiburkan peminat.

 

 

 

"Sekiranya saya melalui ini, Kemudian Wilder berpeluang untuk melawan saya untuk kejohanan lineal. Saya bukan orang yang mendapat peluang untuk melawannya. Mari kita hadapi itu, Dia tidak pernah berjuang dengan sesiapa pun. Beliau mempunyai 40 pergaduhan dan itulah yang berlaku. Kami tidak di sini untuk bercakap mengenai Wilder sama sekali. Mungkin juga sejuta tahun pada masa akan datang, Saya mesti menumpukan perhatian kepada lelaki ini di hadapan saya. Saya pasti dia mahu mengambil kemuliaan saya dari saya.

 

 

 

"Saya telah membuat semua pengorbanan yang betul. Saya terlatih dengan baik, makan betul, tidur lena dan saya mempunyai empat atau lima rakan kongsi sparring yang semua southpaws. Sekiranya saya melakukan apa yang saya fikir boleh saya lakukan, Kemudian saya akan menarik perhatian, mengadakan pertunjukan yang baik dan memenangi pertarungan. Sekiranya saya tidak melakukan apa yang saya fikir saya boleh lakukan, Kemudian saya akan mendapat Chinned dalam kira -kira sepuluh saat dan ia akan menjadi, 'Lihatlah kamu kemudian Tyson Fury dan Hello Francesco Pianeta.'

 

 

 

"Southpaws jauh lebih janggal kerana ada kurang dari mereka di bahagian ini. Anda tidak terlalu banyak bekerja dengan southpaws selain ketika anda berjuang dengan mereka. Sukar untuk mendapatkan Southpaws untuk bersuara dalam latihan kerana tidak banyak southpaws kelas berat di seluruh dunia. Tetapi saya mempunyai satu fakta menarik, Setiap amatur atau profesional southpaw yang pernah saya hadapi saya telah keluar. Itu tidak baik untuk Francesco.

 

 

 

"Menjadi juara kelas berat dua kali baik-baik saja. Ia tidak bagus kerana ada banyak. Menjadi juara kelas berat tiga kali, Sudah dilakukan sebelumnya. Oleh itu, saya fikir saya mahu menetapkan preseden menjadi juara kelas berat lima kali tanpa kalah. Itulah matlamat saya. Saya selalu bertujuan untuk bintang dan menetapkan sasaran besar.

 

 

 

"Sekiranya saya dapat mengalahkan Francesco Pianeta pada malam Sabtu, Saya telah mengalahkan peninju lain. Perjanjian besar. Tetapi jika dia mengalahkan saya, dia pergi ke sesuatu yang sangat besar. Ia akan mengubah hidupnya. Saya tidak dapat mengalahkan Francesco, Kemudian saya tidak pergi ke mana -mana.

 

 

 

"Saya fikir saya adalah kelas berat paling besar yang pernah dilahirkan, Oleh itu, saya harus mengendalikan Francesco Pianeta. Dan sesiapa yang berada di luar sana, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, Semua gelandangan di luar sana.

 

 

 

"Sangat mudah untuk memenangi semua tali pinggang. Saya hanya perlu mengalahkan dua gelandangan, pada dasarnya. Wilder dan Joshua dan itu sahaja. Kedua -duanya tidak mendapat sel otak di antara mereka sehingga tidak terlalu sukar untuk peninju yang hebat seperti saya. "

 

Ben Davison, Jurulatih Fury

 

 

"Semuanya baik dengan Tyson. Bagus bahawa dia terus masuk ke dalam cincin lagi. Ini adalah perkembangan yang baik sejak perjuangan terakhir dan semuanya sempurna. Kami baru sahaja bersedia untuk malam Sabtu. Anda tidak boleh melakukan apa -apa lagi dari sekarang.

 

 

 

"Dia kehilangan berat badan yang baik sejak pertarungan terakhir. Bagi saya, Hanya ada tahap kecergasan tertentu yang boleh anda dapatkan dan Tyson berjalan pada dua enjin yang sangat baik. Tidak pernah ada kebimbangan dengan itu. "

 

Francesco Pianeta

 

 

"Saya akan memberikan yang terbaik dan saya tidak sabar untuk bertarung. Ini penghormatan bagi saya untuk kotak di hadapan penonton seperti itu.

 

 

 

"Saya mempunyai pendapat yang tinggi mengenai Tyson. Saya sangat kagum dengan kemenangannya ke atas Klitschko, Saya menilai dia sangat tinggi. Dia mengatakan bahawa dia tersingkir setiap southpaw yang pernah dia hadapi, Tetapi kita akan melihat sama ada dia dapat melakukan itu pada malam Sabtu. "

Pada hari Sabtu I made the trip west from my London home to the beautiful city of Cardiff for the Owen Watkins promoted event at the Ice Arena Wales.

The event was due to be headlined by the much anticipated all Welsh Heavyweight title clash between Hari Miles and Dorian Darch, for the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) European Heavyweight Championship. However the fight had to be postponed as Darch was unable to take part due to a suspension he received following a fight on a different event a few weeks prior.

Despite this setback Owen Watkins had decided that the show must go on and I for one am pleased he made that choice, as the planned undercard featured a number of top class amateurs I have been looking forward to watching making their professional debuts.

First up was debuting Carl Thomas versus Kyle McNicholas in a four round Light Heavyweight Contest.

Both lads started really well exhibiting their respective boxing skills.

As the round progressed Thomas stepped up the pressure, backing McNicholas onto the ropes and began letting rip with shots to the body and head of the Liverpudlian.

As the round progressed into the final minute Thomas landed a cracking right to the head that shook McNicholas to the core, Thomas followed up with a left to the body followed almost immediately with a big left to the body that sent McNicholas to the canvas.

Surprisingly McNicholas made the count, they sure breed them tough on Merseyside, as that was a vicious body shot just below the lower rib, you just don’t see people get up after those that often.

On the restart Thomas went straight back on the attack, firstly firing off a stiff jab followed by another stinging left to the body and a double right to the head.

Thomas kept up the pressure, peppering McNicholas with a wicked body-head combination followed by another good stiff jab to back McNicholas into a neutral corner before letting rip with a sensational left hook to the body, that sent McNicholas down for a second time.

Referee Roger Riley began the count and as it just reached the eight count point McNicholas began to try and rise without success, leaving the referee no option but to wave the fight off just as the bell tolled to signal the end of the first round.

I’m pleased to say that McNicholas was perfectly OK and did get to his feet shortly after.

My final thoughts on this particular fight are; it may have only lasted one round but what a cracking round it was.

Next up see Kacper Dudzinski making his pro debut against Belfast’s Michael Kelly in a four round Super Welterweight contest.

Right from the off Dudzinski got behind his seriously strong jab and began controlling the proceedings with fast hands and stiff double jabs.

Kelly is no mug, bukan dengan pukulan yang panjang, he’s as savvy as they come, but even he had to concede to taking a defensive stance and patiently wait for any opportunity, no matter how slender, to counter, which to be honest were few and far between.

Dudzinski seriously impressed against Kelly and has a fantastic future in the sport.

It may have been his debut, but based on his performance pada hari Sabtu malam, against a former genuine title challenger, I reckon he’ll go all the way to the top and deserves it too, anyone who can keep Kelly on the back foot the way Dudzinski did for virtually the full four rounds is without doubt something special.

Don’t get me wrong Kelly landed some cracking shots but Dudzinski’s sensationally fast hand speed and superb defence kept those opportunities to the bare minimum.

Nice little touch from Kelly late in the final round, following a ‘matrix style’ reaction move, that almost prevented him touching a glove down, Walau bagaimanapun, much to his annoyance he received a count from referee Chris Kelly, although Kelly was convinced he’d actually had avoided his glove touching the canvas, but instead of standing there and protesting he dropped down and proceeded to do push ups throughout the count to show his disapproval, banyak untuk menggembirakan orang ramai.

After four brilliant rounds it came as no surprise that it was Dudzinski whose hand was held aloftthe official result showed Dudzinski scoring his maiden pro victory by a 40-35 margin mata.

Next up was Ben McGivern versus Ben Hough in a four round Cruiserweight contest.

Apa pergaduhan, McGivern mainly bossing the proceedings, forcing Hough on to the back foot as well as the ropes for a good chunk of the first stanza. Hough may have been on the defensive for a good part of the first but when the opportunities arose he took them in style.

It was virtually a complete turnaround in Round Two, with Hough wrestling control and putting McGivern on the back foot, and ropes, similar to the way the Scot had bossed the first round.

The third stanza was a much closer fought affair, so much so I found it hard to split them, points wise.

The fourth started out more or less as the third ended, with both protagonists going for it hammer and tongs, but as the Round progressed McGivern stepped up the pace enough to not only secure the round, but also the victory.

After four sensational all action rounds, as I gave away above, it was McGivern that came away victorious, referee Roger Riley scoring the excellent contest 39-37 in favour of the Scotsman.

Following the fight both boxers agreed to a rematch, which I have been reliably informed is likely to take place in Liverpool on 8 September put the date in your diary this is a fight no one should miss!

The penultimate fight of the night see Blackwood, South WalesLiam Preece versus very, very late replacement Pentrefoelas, North WalesSteffan Hughes in an all Welsh contest.

What a corker this fight was, it was an all action thriller from start right through to the final bell.

Considering Preece had a considerable weight disadvantage to deal with, he really went for it, taking the fight to his more experienced, and heavier, lawan.

Preece boxed confidently not only when on the attack but also when defending against the pinpoint accurate exocets launched by Hughes.

Preece was impressive throughout, and I’m sure it didn’t surprise anyone in the Ice Arena Wales when referee Chris Kelly’s scorecard was read out as a 40-36 points victory for the South Wales Lad.

The final pro fight of the night pitted highly rated former amateur star Port Talbot’s Levi Griffiths versus Liverpool’s Scott McIntyre.

Griffiths is so slick, the classy youngster began well and landed some stinging shots, which forced McIntyre to switch to ‘plan B’ early on in an attempt to keep on the inside to prevent the Welshman from getting his big shots off.

McIntyre’s plan B may not have been pretty, but boy oh boy it was highly effective.

After the initial ‘open’ tempoh, which allowed the slick Welshman to achieve a good level of success, the majority of the fight could have taken place in a phone box.

McIntyre clearly had no intention of giving Griffiths any opportunity to let rip with any big shots, he just kept him tied up throughout, sometimes by foul means, so much so that after numerous warnings for holding or not breaking when told, referee Roger Riley deducted a point, however even that point deduction wasn’t going to prevent the Liverpool man from securing the victory, the official score being 39-36.

Katakan, whilst personally disappointed that the Miles-Darch WBF European title fight didn’t take place, promoter Owen Watkins had put together such a top class support card that I, as well as am sure everyone else in attendance had their Pugilistic Appetite well and truly sated by the fare on offer and look forward to his next promotion, which will take place at the Cwrt Herbert Leisure Centre in Neath on the 22nd September.

McConville Set For Tough First Title Shot, Liverpool Man To Face India’s Goyat

 

Promoter Kyle Gallagher announced earlier today that unbeaten Welterweight prospect Jonny McConville, is set to challenge Chandigarh India’s Neeraj Goyat for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Silver Welterweight Championship, at the Jubilee Sports Bank in Liverpool on Saturday 8th September 2018.

 

 

 

 

McConville is in fine form and comes into this Championship contest off a first round stoppage win over Belfast’s Michael Kelly back in March this year, his third stoppage win in as many contests, the other stoppage victories being over Marty Kayes in December 2017 and Will Cairns in September 2017.

 

 

 

 

However McConville is in no doubt that this will be the toughest fight of his young career to date, his esteemed opponent on the8th September is not only far more experienced but also Championship experienced, having been crowned the World Boxing Council (WBC) Asian Boxing Council Welterweight Champion following his victory over Nelson Gulpe in New Delhi back in May 2015 and successive successful defences against Ben Kite in New Delhi back in October 2016 and then against Allan Tanada in Mumbai in August 2017.

 

 

 

 

By time Goyat faces McConville he may have successfully defended his title for a third time, as he is currently in camp preparing to defend his title in Canada later this month.

 

 

 

 

His esteemed opponent’s Championship successes do not seem to have fazed McConville one iota, sebagaimana yang dibuat jelas apabila dia bercakap lebih awal.

 

 

 

 

I’m very grateful for this opportunity it’s something we have been working and training very hard towards.

 

 

 

 

I am very excited to fight for my first title and to put on a show against such a decorated and experienced opponent as Goyat.

 

 

 

 

I want this so bad, I am definitely ready for this.

 

 

 

 

Jonny McConville versus Neeraj Goyat for the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Silver Welterweight Championship will take place on the Kyle Gallagher promoted Victory Fight Club event at the Jubilee Sports Bank in Liverpool on Saturday 8th September 2018.

Freeman Battles Through Injury To Secure Victory In Liverpool

Laporan: Gianluca Di Caro

Pada malam Sabtu, whilst most British boxing fans were either at the Manchester Arena or watching BT Sport as Tyson Fury made his long awaited return to the ring, a large number of local boxing fans still made the pilgrimage to the Jubilee Sports Bank in Liverpool for local promoter Kyle Gallagher’s latest offering.

 

Over the past few years Gallagher has built himself a very good reputation for putting on quality shows, one where the local fans know they are in for a great night out and watching well matched all action fights featuring local prospects and on Saturday normal service resumed.

 

Headlining the show was local unbeaten prospect Martin Freeman, against seriously tough opposition in Latvia’s Dmitrijs Ovsjannikovs.

 

On his last appearance, on a Gallagher promoted show back in March, Ovsjannikovs secured victory over Freeman’s gym mate Mitchell Walsh, via a second round TKO, which added an extra bit of spice to this particular bout.

 

The opening round see Freeman on the front foot, Ovsjannikovs seemingly content to counter for the majority of the round, with the occasional attacking foray whenever the opportunity arose.

 

Initially it was more of the same in round two, however as the round progressed Ovsjannikovs began to get a bit busier, actively taking the fight to the Liverpudlian, but all said and done it was still Freeman’s round.

 

Freeman’s movement in the third was poor, he was limping at times, and Ovsjannikovs clearly noticed this and started to be more assertive in his approach, so much so that often he would corral Freeman in a corner before letting rip with a flurry of shots.

 

Freeman’s corner were screaming at their charge to get out of the corner, can’t blame them as it was this tactic by Ovsjannikovs that led to their man Walsh being stopped by the Latvian back in March.

 

Freeman made it through the round, but now was just the one round up as the third was clearly Ovsjannikovs’.

 

Freeman’s corner worked frantically on his leg during the break, but when the opening bell for the round rang it was clear to all that the injury was really troubling the Liverpudlian.

 

The fourth mirrored the third, Ovsjannikovs controlling the proceedings, but Freeman dug in deep and survived the round. Again in the break Freeman’s team worked hard on their charge.

 

With the scores equal going into the fifth Ovsjannikovs went on the offensive once more, however Freeman, whilst still limping, didn’t just settle for countering, oh no, he decided if it was do or die and started to plant his feet once more and let rip with big shots, so much so that Ovsjannikovs reverted to a defensive approach and countering at times, much to the relief of Freeman’s corner I would think.

 

The sixth and final round was a stormer, again Ovsjannikovs went hard on the attack in an attempt to back Freeman into a corner, however the Liverpudlian wasn’t having any of it and some excellent toe to toe slugging ensued, it was a thrilling final round, control switching back and forth throughout until the final bell.

 

After six hard fought rounds Referee Chris Kelly’s scorecard read 58-56 in favour of Martin Freeman.

 

The penultimate bout of the night sees Widnes, Cheshire’s Jamie Oldfield, in action against Belfast’s Marty Kayes, in a four round Welterweight contest.

 

Oldfield came into the fight off a first round stoppage win over Edgars Sazanovics on his pro debut back in March, whilst Kayes, a well- known and always busy opponent, came into the fight off the back of two excellent points victories in April, his first wins since July 2016, some sixteen fights previously.

 

Right from the off it was Oldfield that took the fight to Kayes, the Irishman though stood his ground and countered effectively and so began a fantastic all action round.

 

It was a great round, you just couldn’t take your eyes off the fight for a second as these two warriors went to war, both digging deep into their arsenals of shots, each time one of them seemed to be taking control, the other would counter with equal force to wrestle control.

 

Great round just couldn’t split them, definitely a drawn round in my eyes.

 

More of the same in the second and third, although in both Oldfield seemed to just about secure the rounds due to more effective attacks. I must just mention a couple of exchanges, where Oldfield and Kayes went toe to toe exchanging double handed combinations, both guys letting rip with 10-12 punch combinations at the same time, wow, really enjoyed those.

 

The fourth and Final round was more or less a mirror image of the first, again I couldn’t split them, score-wise, and was mightily chuffed that I had scored it the same as the Referee Chris Kelly – 40-38 in favour of Jamie Oldfield

 

Another local debuting fighter, David Tayor, was next up, against Latvia’s Vladimirs Slikovs in a four round Super Middleweight contest.

 

Both protagonists came out hard and fast, both battling hard for centre ground, what’s more it was clear that neither had any intention of backing down for a second.

 

Throughout the first round it was hard to split the two, each time either let rip with a shot the other countered in similar fashion, no surprise that even Referee Chris Kelly couldn’t split them on his scorecard.

 

Round two was once again an all action round, Slikovs maybe being more on the front foot, however even though Taylor was having to defend more often, it was he that landed the most shots, more importantly the most telling shots.

 

Lebih daripada yang sama dalam ketiga, with Taylor clearly winning the round, however the fourth, whilst similar to the previous rounds, except now Slikovs was able to get his range right and land some big shots.

 

After four all action rounds Referee Chris Kelly’s scorecards showed just how close this bout was, as they read 39-38 to David Taylor.

 

Following the interval local debuting lad Steven Sunners faced Latvian Eduard Belas in a four round Middleweight contest.

 

Right from the off Sunners went on the attack, however Belas is as savvy as they come and used his experience to keep Sunners from landing a serious shot initially.

 

However Sunners kept calm and used his jab to great effect to fashion a good opening early in the round and landing a cracking body-shot.

 

Belas changed tactics and went on the offensive. Sunners didn’t seem that concerned and just kept jabbing to the head, forcing Belas to keep his guard high.

 

After a few more exchanges, Sunners threw a neat combination, creating just enough of an opening to slip in another good solid shot, this time with the required effect of sending the Latvian to the canvas.

 

Belas made the count, immediately after the restart Sunners was all over the Latvian like a rash, letting shots off whenever an opening presented itself.

 

It wasn’t that long until another chink in the Latvian’s armour appeared, Sunners reacted immediately and again sent Belas to the canvas.

 

Belas again made the count and defended well until the end of the round.

 

Round two started in much the same way as the previous round ended, with Sunners in full flow and Belas covering up and defending with an occasional shot of his own.

 

Walau bagaimanapun, after about fifteen seconds or so Sunners landed a big right hand that sent the Latvian heavily to the canvas, Referee Chris Kelly immediately waved the fight off, he didn’t even start the count, instead summoned the medical team to enter the ring and attend to the stricken Belas.

 

I’m pleased to say Belas was OK and when he eventually rose to his feet, received a warm round of applause from all in attendance.

 

Official time of the stoppage was just 22 seconds of the second round.

 

Just prior to the interval the fifth fight of the night pitted local lad Craig Kennerdale against Prestwick, Scotland’s Leon Roberts in a four round Welterweight contest.

 

This much anticipated contest between two highly rated young fighters was expected to be a cracker, but it turned out to be much more than that it was a sensational fight between two equally matched warriors.

 

It reminded me very much of the classic Battle Royale between Carl Frampton and Ian Bailey in Belfast a few years back, after that one the entire crowd at the King’s Hall were on their feet applauding both warriors, and it comes as no surprise that after their fight on Saturday night that Kennerdale and Roberts also received a standing ovation from the crowd in Liverpool, boy oh boy they deserved it one hundred percent.

 

As with Frampton-Bailey, it was non-stop action throughout, Kennerdale and Roberts fought magnificently for every second of each round.

 

These two serious talents really went for it throughout the contest, control switching between them with such regularity you just couldn’t take your eyes of the fight for a second.

 

On many occasions this battle had the highly vocal fans standing and applauding the action, especially a couple of double handed exchanges, where both protagonists not only matched each other punch for punch but also flowing combination for combination.

 

Referee Chris Kelly scored the contest 40-37 in favour of Kennerdale, which to be honest whilst the correct result just doesn’t reflect just how close every single round was.

 

Loved every second of this fight, it really was something special, so if you get the chance try and watch the video, which I have been told will be on YouTube later this week, definitely well worth watching.

 

Have to say this was my first choice of Fight of the Night, just as you would have already read above there was definitely more than one contender for that accolade.

 

The fourth bout of the night pitted Bradley Muldoon against debuting David Calveley in a four rounder.

 

Prior to the fight there was quite a bit of talk about this match-up on social media, apparently they had fought twice previously, word was that it was the debuting Calveley that had won both.

 

Right from the opening bell it was Calveley that went straight on the attack, Muldoon initially covered up but soon began to utilise his jab effectively to prevent the hard charging Calveley to corral him against the ropes.

 

Throughout the round it was Calveley virtually bossed the round from start to finish, effectively keeping Muldoon on the back foot.

 

More of the same in the second and third, but the fourth was a much more closely fought round, one in which Muldoon held his own.

 

After four rounds of action Referee scored the contest 40-37 in favour of Calveley, however that wasn’t the end of the matter, as Muldoon protested that it was supposed to be a six rounder and called for the fight to be declared a no-contest. Apparently the promoters running sheet in the changing room showed it as a six rounder not the four as announced at the beginning of the fight and listed by the commission on the schedule.

 

Liverpool’s Dean Ferreira versus Latvia’s Andrejs Konovalovs in a four round Super Featherweight contest was the third fight on the card.

 

Ferreira seemed determined to make a big statement in this fight, coming out hard and fast right from the opening bell and letting rip with big shots, Konovalovs initially covered up, but soon realised he’d have to fight his way out of danger and proceeded to do just that.

 

Ferreira though is as tough as they come and he soon wrestled back control and backed his Latvian foe back onto the ropes before letting rip with fast double handed shots to send Konovalovs down within the first thirty seconds or so.

 

Konovalovs made it to his feet almost immediately, on the restart Ferreira went straight back on the attack.

 

Konovalovs got behind his jab in an effort to keep the hard charging Liverpudlian at bay, but that didn’t last for long once Ferreira started targeting the Latvian’s body and on around the one minute mark Ferreira let rip with a big shot to the Latvian’s lower rib, which sent Konovalovs down like a sack of potatoes.

 

Konovalovs was clearly in distress so referee Chris Kelly stopped the count on three and waved the contest off so the medical team could attend to the Latvian.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 1 Minute and 3 saat.

 

The second fight of the night pitted debuting Lee Cooper against one fight veteran Kyle McNicholas in an all Merseyside four round Super Middleweight contest.

 

Cooper approached the opening round in determined fashion, taking the fight to McNicholas right from the off.

 

Throughout the fight Cooper was well and truly on the front foot and very, very focused, Cooper controlled the proceedings more like an established prospect than a debuting fighter.

 

Don’t get me wrong this wasn’t a one sided contest, far from it, McNicholas fought hard for every second of every round, just Cooper’s performance was exceptional.

 

After four excellent action filled rounds referee Chris Kelly rightly scored the bout 40-36 in favour of the debuting Lee Cooper.

 

The opening fight of the night featured Warrington’s Ben Hough in action, against Blackpool’s Malcolm Richardson, in a four round Cruiserweight contest.

 

Right from the off Hough got behind his jab, Richardson responded in kind, however Hough just doubled up his jab and began to back Richardson up towards the ropes.

 

What followed next was about a minute or so of engaging action, which see Hough on the front foot with Richardson defending his position, then just as Richardson went to let rip with a shot Hough got through the Blackpool man’s excellent defence with a big right, that sent Richardson down heavily to the canvas.

 

Immediately referee Chris Kelly waved off the fight and the medical team entered the ring.

 

I’m pleased to say Richardson was perfectly OK, but must praise both the referee and medical team for the prompt actions, as the way Richardson went down it did look like a full on knockout.

 

Official time of the stoppage was 1 minute and 16 saat pusingan pertama.

 

Once again a great event from Kyle Gallagher and his team, word is his next event will be in September and from what I’ve heard on the grapevine this will be a ‘don’t missevent as not only will top prospects from his stable be in action, but also featured on this event will be a number of unbeaten prospects from abroad.

“No more whining about Billy Joe and his excuses. If you want to fight on June 23, then put up or shut up. Jika tidak, then you are just Billy Joe with different excuses.”
