Escobar drops to 7 wins (3 by KO) 7 losses
Daniel Watson (Bolton) v Rick Boulter (Lincoln)

Both boxers had to wait in the ring for Boulters’ Team to fetch his gum-shield. Both men landed head-shots in the first round and Watson also goes for the body. Boulter is warned for holding in round two. Watson is caught a couple of times by Boulters’ swinging lefts to the head.
Watson ‘ups the ante’ in round three and goes straight for Boulter who is under pressure from ‘The Phantom’s’ swinging shots in the third frame.
Watson gets win number three with a Points victory (40-36)

Anthony Smith (Liverpool) v Brett Fidoe (Fenton)
4 x 3 Flyweight Contest

Smith improves to 4 wins (1 by KO) while Fidoe drops to 1 win (1 by KO) 4 losses
Sam Omidi (Manchester) v Drew Campbell (Essex)
4 x 3 Light-Middleweight Contest
Well supported Omidi, aka Shokz, got off to a fast and furious start against Scotsman Campbell who looked shocked by the outburst in round one. The Manchester boxer targeted the head of his opponent but did not escape a couple of decent shots to his unguarded face from Campbell in the second frame. It was an all-action round three and Shokz – clearly wanting to impress – calls Campbell ‘on’.
Omidi gets the Points win (40-36) to notch up his third win on points.
Campbell drops to 1 win 14 losses (4 by KO)
