Thomas Stalker (Liverpool) v Jack Catterall (Chorley)
Vacant WBO European Light Welterweight Title
‘The Captain’ Stalker got off to a bad start when he found himself on the canvas in round one and two – but with a non-existent guard he couldn’t escape Catterall’s head-shots which landed continuously. Stalker’s face was marked-up but Catterall suffered a cut to the corner of the right eye which also swelled-up in the mid-rounds. He was in danger of getting stopped because of the cut – so he upped the ante and Stalker was halted by Referee Mark Lyson in the eighth.

Gomez jnr, watched by sombrero-wearing father – Michael Gomez ringside, was in playful mood and was told to focus by his team. Granted – it was by this time the early hours of the morning and they were already dismantling some parts of the arena, so the last three fights of the night had had a long wait. Gomez gets the points win 40-36 to notch up his second win of two.
