Friday night in Manchester, England, former WBU super featherweight champion Michael Gomez saw his career upended once again by a relatively unknown fighter in Argentinean Javier Alvarez. Gomez, who has spent much of his time challenging Scottish fighters Alex Arthur and Scott Harrison in the press, has had a habit of underperforming on the big
night. This may be Gomez's final fling in the boxing business after being stopped by Alvarez in the sixth.
In other action on the MEN card, Steve Foster Jr. knocked out Livison Ruiz in the tenth round.
The trio of British prospects all interviewed on this site this week won their fights, beginning with Steven Bell's victory over Henry Janes in the third round.
Paul Smith knocked out Rob Burton in a single round.
Michael Jennings stopped Vasile Dragomir in three rounds.
Finally, exciting prospect Andy Morris continued his progress by taking a six-round decision over Buster Dennis.
