Ringside Boxing Report: Undercard of Johanneson - FehintolaBy Jane Warburton November 4th, 2006 All Ringside BoxingClick for larger image © Jane Warburton / Saddo Boxing
Apart from the main event, there were some excellent fights on the Johanneson - Fehintola undercard last night. It was a really entertaining evening, people all around the Barnsley Welterweight John 'Fireball' Fewkes came out to huge support against tattooed opponent Scott Haywood of Derby. A confident Fewkes looks skilful as he trades with the taller, rangy - "Super Scott" in round one. But a chip of a punch from Haywood provokes a cocky grin from Fewkes. Haywood is cut on his right brow during an action-packed second round but then Fewkes looks under pressure now as Haywood increases the work-rate, maybe sensing some urgency from his cut. Team Haywood are claiming it's a clash of heads which has led to the damage around his eye. The crowd are really noisy, chanting "Super, Super Scott, Super Scotty Haywood!" This is a close contest, first Fewkes has the upper hand, then Haywood takes the lead. Not surprising that the referee has them just one point apart with Fewkes winning on points 77 - 76 Fewkes dashes straight over to Haywood and holds his arm aloft, giving him the respect he deserved. Everyone stands up to applaud both boxers for a really entertaining fight. John Fewkes - Scott HaywoodClick for larger image © Jane Warburton / Saddo Boxing
Jason "2Smooth" Booth of Nottingham vs. Abdul Mougharbel of Huddersfield at bantamweight. After a long-spell out of the ring, Jason Booth marked his come back with a points win over Mougharbel. After a steady start by both men, Booth gets his confidence in the fifth round as he hurts Mougharbel with a couple of shots. Brother Nicky Booth shouts encouragement from ringside throughout the contest. Jason Booth wins on points 59 - 55 and afterwards, the victor said that he'd enjoyed the fight!

Brian Magee of Belfast vs. Paul David of Sheffield at super middleweight. From the stable of Dominic Ingle, Paul David was encouraged to "fence" Magee by his corner (this is a technique which looks like you're fly-fishing without the rod!) David goes down in round four but it looked like a slip, and an eight count was delivered. Promoter Frank Maloney is clearly enjoying this one as he laughs while watching by Brian Magee - Paul DavidClick for larger image © Jane Warburton / Saddo Boxing
