Boxing In Britain: O’Donnell Retains Commonwealth With Glover WinBy Ricky Jones September 6th, 2009 All Boxing ResultsLast night at the Colosseum in Watford, England, welterweight Tom Glover's unexpected run through the UK standings came to an end, halted forcefully by Commonwealth champion John O'Donnell. After seeing off the quartet of Jon Thaxton, Nadeem Siddique, Chas Symonds and Scott Woolford over the last ten months, Glover just couldn't compete against the much sharper O'Donnell. Using his five inch height advantage to perfection, the six foot tall O'Donnell kept the oncoming Glover at the perfect distance, dissecting the aggressive striver with a two-fisted scalpel. Try as he might to get O'Donnell into the trenches, Glover simply couldn't cut off the ring and was hammered by the precise Londoner. After handing out a punishing lesson for five rounds, O'Donnell forced a stoppage at 2:43 of the sixth. O'Donnell goes to 21-1- (9), with perhaps the best performance of his career to date while Glover falls to 9-6-3 (0) after suffering his first stoppage. In a bad blood grudge rematch, Lee Purdy, 12-1-1 (6), outpointed Peter McDonagh, 14-15 (2), by a score of 98-94 after ten rounds to take the vacant British southern area welterweight strap.
